Into the Woods

Prison

It been almost a year since the incident. There was always constant, work, work, work. My brother Mud gotten weak from all the work, and you don't want to know what happens when you don't follow Shadow's, the leader of this place, orders.

"Star, I cant take this anymore! I'm too weak to do anything anymore! I'm going to die here!" Mud moaned.

"I know Mud! I want to out of this prison to! But there is no way of escaping." I answered back.

I picked up a rake and began raking the orange, crunchy, leaves. Winter was coming, which means twice as much work. Mud tried to rake too, but he stumbled over in front of a guard.

"Faster! The guard yelled, scratching muds back with his sharp claws.

Mud let out a whimper of pain and tried to do the work as fast as is body could.

Suddenly an alarm sounded as the megaphone on the top of a large pole said, "Attention! Prisoner 375 is attempting to escape! All task force at the nearest exit immediately!"

Then I saw a grey tabby Tom rush past the guards. Right when he thought he could escape a guard caught him by the back, and the Tom stumbled over on his back. The guard let out a chuckle then raked his stomach with his claws. He let out a shriek as a pool of blood spilled around him. Then, he stopped breathing.

"You killed him!" I said aloud, with my eyes full of terror.

The guard looked at me and said, "He deserved it, that's what you get when you try to escape." He mumbled.

I knew he regret what he done. Then, he walked away, as if nothing ever happened....
