See You On A Dark Night

Finally, the first week back at 'Ericson's School For The Troubled Youth' after the Christmas break, was over, there was a looming cloud of gloom that hung over Violet, she didn't know how to describe what she was feeling, let alone put it into words. Maybe it was the plan, or lack thereof, to breakout her ex-girlfriend and her feelings of both hatred, sadness and sympathy for her.

Violet knew that she had to be strong for her girlfriend and that she had to help with the breakout, the thoughts circled her head. But now that she was here, with Louis, scoping out 'The Delta' the blonde's mind was empty, thinking of what life would be like after this ordeal.

The bitter cold nipped at their exposed skin, treading lightly in the surrounding Forrest to keep the sound of crunching twigs and dry leaves underneath their feet.

"So, how was your Christmas with Clem?" Louis inquired,

"Really, now? We need to be quiet!" The blonde whisper yelled,

"Okay, okay, I get it," the boy said placing a hand on his chest and frowning,

"Sorry, I'm just stressed. It was great, really relaxing and well, that's all I can say. I'll talk about it in more detail later, let's just focus"

"We're almost here, Minerva said that she had worked at two, splitting logs and gardening I think" The boy added,

The pair stopped as they got to a clearing, taking cover behind a pile of rocks and bushes, Violet took out a pair of binoculars and peered down the lenses.

"Look! There she is! We just need to find a way to distract the guard and get her attention-" Louis picked up a small rock and aimed at another students head "-what are you doing?!"

"Causing a distraction"

Louis threw the rock, being careful to not be spotted by the guards, the stone struck the back of a scrawny boy with dark shaggy hair, he turned around frantically holding the back of his head.

"WHO THE FUCK THREW THIS!? FUCKING, FUCK!"

"Nice shot!" The blonde whispered,

"FUCK YOU ANDY YOU FUCKING CANNIBAL!"

The kid shouted again, jumping on top of another student he started to land heavy blows on the teen. The other boys and girls gathered around the fight and started to chant and shout, the guard frantically yelling into their radio for backup.

"Psst! Hey! Minerva! Over here!" Louis shouted as quiet as he could, the redhead quickly hurrying over to where the teens were.

"Louis?! It can't be you? W-W-What are you doing here?" The redhead said quietly, Violet looked at the girl looking at how frail and skinny she looked, large black bags were under her eyes, her grey clothes baggy, torn and stained with blood.

"We don't have much time, we're breaking you out in two days from here, just be ready and don't tell anyone! We have a plan, just hold out for a little bit longer" Louis said at a fast pace,

"We? Who's we?" Minerva added, "Clementine, Louis and me" Violet chimed in, "really?"

"Yes, we have to go, just be ready to go, we have everything sorted, go before you get caught!" Violet added,

"T-T-Thank you," the girl said timidly before running back to the group.

"We need to go now!" Louis whispered before the pair stealthily rad back towards the road and getting into Violet's car.

Meanwhile, Clementine was sat in her dorm laying down on the bed starring up at the ceiling, twirling her thumbs anxiously. She had written a note in Minerva's writing, making sure that it seemed believable and that it would work, the teens knew that 'The Delta' could not afford to have another missings person case, and they used that to their favour.
