The Escape

Chapter Fifteen

I don't know how, but I remembered Eliza from before I knew all about this life. I told Elena, "Elizas father is Luke Stark. He was one of my dads best friends." I looked down at the floor as I clenched my fists. Did her father have something to do with my dads death? I didn't know what to think. All I knew was that I wanted to hear it from her.

"Attention Prisoners of The Dominion."

I walked over into the main area of the lunchroom and I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked up at the jumbo screen. Jon! Looking around the room I saw that everyone was fixated on the screen listening to what Jon had to say, "My name is Jonathan Thomas Mason of Division Thirteen. With the situation all of you are currently face you must feel like there is no hope. I'm asking you not to give up, not to lose hope."

"Believe me when I say this. You will escape from that hell hole and be reunited with your families. And you will survive." I looked around the room and saw hope filling the room and faces of all these people. If not for the first time in a long time. 

Jon then says as I saw him shed a few tears, "And remember this."

"You have people on the outside doing everything in their power! To bring you all home."

The very last thing Jon said I knew was meant for Heather and I. I could tell Jon was extremely worried with what must be going on over here. I just hope whatever they've been planning is going to be executed quickly. Right now our lives are dangling by a thread. I'm scared because I don't think I've got much time left.

I don't know what to do!

Everyone was thankfully out in the yard at the same time. I needed to find Patrick and tell him what I had heard from Eliza and Kyle's "secret conversation". Lincoln was by my side watching out for me when he spotted Patrick. He was playing chess by himself over by the north gate. Lincoln and I got about hallway to were Patrick was when I heard Eliza.

She says to me, "Hi friend!"

I rolled my eyes. Lincoln says to her, "Buzz off!"

Eliza jumps in front of us and asks Emmanuel, "Excuse me, but who are you?"

"None of your concern." I replied dryly.

Eliza gets in my way again and asks me, "Are you mad at me?" Mad doesn't even begin to cover it. I wanted to avoid even saying another word to Eliza, but again she gets in my way. She puts her hand on my left shoulder and begs, "Please talk to me."

Don't even touch me! I jerked her hand off my shoulder. I didn't know how to go about addressing how I knew about her conversation. So I thought why not leave her feeling panicked. I whispered in her ear feeling very sinister, "I know everything."

Eliza froze with fear as I made direct eye contact with her, "So I suggest you stay out of my way."

Walking away with Lincoln I could see that he was surprised at how I handled things. He asks me, "What did you say to her?"

"I told her that I knew." I replied. "But I didn't exactly specify how much I knew."

Lincoln then chuckles, "Remind me not to get on your bad side."

Finally we had gotten over to Patrick to tell him the news. I sat down beside him as I told him, "You were right."

"About?" Patrick asked while still playing his chess game.

I told him, "You were right about Kyle and Eliza."

Patrick quickly turns his attention to me, "I'm listening."

"Kyle and Eliza are engaged."

"How do you know this?"

"Elena and I overheard them talking earlier today during lunch."

"About?"

"About planning to kill Taylor and assuming power." Lincoln answered.

Patrick looked shocked as he asks me, "Is this all true?"

"Would I ever lie to you?" I replied.

It took only a few minutes for Patrick to tell us, "Okay. I'll take care of him."

"No." I replied. "He killed my friend."

"And his father killed my wife and attempted to kill my sister!" Patrick snapped.

I then told him forcefully, "I understand that." I then made him an offer, "That is why I'm proposing we do it together. Make Vladimir suffer and then we end him together. Trust me when I say that Vladimirs greatest weakness is his son."

Patrick at first I could tell he didn't want to go along with it, but when he shook my hand I knew he would see things my way. "You've got a deal."

*Elena Kane*

There was a lot going through my head, but all I could mostly think about was the possibility of getting out of here. I missed my mother. I missed her calming voice, the smell of her perfume, and mostly her hugs. Being locked up in this place along side my sister, Amara, has made me value our bond as twins. Also to live each second in here to its fullest.

Currently trying to keep my distance from Emmanuels twin brother, Ivan. He's threatened to my sister because of the relationship Emmanuel has with Amara. Like everyone else he can't tell us apart. So not only is Amaras life in danger, my life is as well.

Right now everyone is going about their day like normal. I made the mistake of wondering off on my own. Great. I couldn't find Amara, Lincoln, Rod, Emmanuel, Taylor, or even Patrick. My best bet was to either find Taylor or Lincoln.

Before Ivan found me.

Lincoln to me seemed like the easier person to find because he would be at dinner right now. I began heading in the direction of the dining hall when I heard footsteps behind me. Just stay calm and keep moving. I made a right turn towards the guards locker room when the footsteps from before started moving faster. BOOK IT ELENA!

I was about a third of the way towards the dining hall when, BAM! I'm lying flat on my back. Ow! I went to try and get up when Ivan pinned me down by my throat. He had this crazy look in his eye as he said, "Hello Amara!"

"I'm not Am,-!" I croaked out.

Ivan slams my head against the floor as he screamed, "Liar!" There was no reasoning with Ivan. He then says to me, "You think you can come between me and my brother!" Ivan had it deadset in his mind that I was Amara. I kneed him in the groin and pushed him off of me as I took off running.

"Don't think you can get away from me you little whore!" Ivan snapped.

"Somebody help me!"
