Chapter 4 - The Escape pt.1

Trigger warning- strong language, mentions of death

a6d's pov

I was too exited to sleep tonight, this was my first chance to escape in a whole year! Usually I manage to escape in a few months, so you can imagine this was quite a big deal for me. I looked over at Zak, he was definitely fast asleep. Once when we were chatting, he told me he'd been here for five years! I can't imagine staying in prison for five years without a single attempt to escape! Zak also told me he was innocent, and judging by his character, I'd say so too. He's far to nice to have said anything bad, and he definitely doesn't look like the type to steel. He even stopped me from getting an extra pudding a week ago because apparently "The cooks work really hard" or some rubbish like that. To be fair, It's not like I did anything bad either. I was an intern at that place they failed to predict the earthquake, and of course I got arrested. It was only a short sentence, but I escaped because I wasn't having it, and I kept on escaping so much, I think I've practically got sentenced for life. Haha let's also ignore the fact I might have been hacking their computers, but still.

Me and Zak had a plan, a pretty good one if I say so myself! I came up with it so it must be good, obviously. It was nothing much, just a few rumours here and there, then a fight at breakfast. The only thing that can mess this up is if Zak doesn't have to guts to steal the wardens key. I've seen the eyes he makes at the warden, it's clear he's falling for him. I just hope that Zak being innocent and being here for 5 years is enough motivation to escape. If not, I hope he'll do it for me, we are each others only friends after all. I sigh and take my eyes off Zak, and look up at the ceiling. "bye" I say, to blob of dampness above my head that's been there ever since N1 spilled some water In his cell. This should be the last time I see the blob if all goes to plan.

A sharp yellow slowly fell over my face, making my cover my eyes with my hands. It was morning already? I guess time flies when your thinking about escaping prison. I stood up excitedly, shaking Zak awake.

"Zak! You remember what day it is right!?" I ask smiling.

"Uh... Thursday? I don't know, let me sleep dude" He answered, annoyed at me for waking him up. I was going to whisper scare him, but it's our last day in prison, I'd be nice for today.

"Zak please, we're escaping today, remember" I pleaded.

"ahh yeah!" Zak exclaimed, standing up immediately. "Ok, it's still early, how are you going to spread the news in time for breakfast?"

"That's simple, I need the toilet," I told Zak.

"Huh? OK lol" He sniggered, clearly not grasping my amazingly intellectual plan. 

"No you idot," I hissed "I tell the guards I need the toilet and whilst walking past the others cells, that's my time to shine. Or in other words, spread the drama" I winked an that last bit, because I've always loved the thrill and excitement of telling lies, quite fun, 10/10 would lie again. 

"ohhh," Zak said "Good idea."

"All my ideas are good," I boasted, looking very smug. I walked up to the bars and shouted at the top of my lungs for a guard to come. A group of 5 or so guards came dashing for our cell, they must have thought something was happening to me. 

"Y- yes!?" Asked a guard, still panting, coming all the way from the second floor. Holy shit, my screams must have sent them running. I had to suppress my laughs from the thought.

"I need the toilet!" I burst out laughing at their relieved expressions, followed by annoyance. 

"You didn't have- have to shout- so damn- loud!" A guard exclaimed, getting murmurs of agreement from the others.

"haha my bad!" I said cheerfully, receiving a laugh from Zak and annoyed grunts from the guards, who started to disperse and go back to their posts. The door clanked open, and I could just about see the end of the prison. "Freedom" I whispered under my breath. It looked so beautiful.

"Yeah, freedom, something you won't be getting in a long time Mr Vincent! I know your crimes," He lowered his voice for this part, "And about the computers you've hacked." What!??? I had the ultimate look of shock displayed on my face. Only I knew about that! Or so I thought... "See, Technoblade knows everything. Hacking, and multiple escape attempts could have even got you landed in a death penalty, but techno admires your skills. You're lucky he doesn't sever your throat straight away." The guard explained.

"Alright listen, I don't give a shit about this Technoblade guy, and I don't know who the fuck you are, but just leave me alone you creep." I tell him, looking disgusted. What was this guy even on about? How did he know what I've done? And who in the actual world is Technoblade. I grimaced at the name. In history, one of the random things I picked up was Technoblade means blood god, and I don't want to be associated with someone like that at all.

"I honestly don't see why techno favours you," The guard says in a huff, "Oh, and tell anyone about our little encounter? You're dead" And with that, the guard walked away. Well, I'll have plenty of time to think about that after  we escape.

I walk out and towards the toilet, spreading false lies (so ur telling the truth a6d?) to everyone as I go by. I smile as I see cell mates discussing how they're going to take revenge on each other at breakfast. Mission accomplished, a6d style. I wish I had some cool shades to put on in this moment full of epicness, but they confiscate shades here as well.

Word count: 1030

Hi! So I was gonna do the escape in one long chapter, but then decided not too. Hope You liked the little bit of Tech6d added in from Technos side (a6d doesn't feel the same way yet lol). I feel obliged to say that the random notes in the chapters don't contribute to the word count. Let's just pretend this chapter wasn't a few days late, thx! :3
