"Today we get out of here." My voice quivers slightly, full of hope and fear. The plan is simple: he opens the door, I bodyslam him, they run. See, easy? I put my ear to the door, waiting for his footsteps to echo down the hall, only audible to me at 15 feet. After almost an hour, I hear the light steps of a man. "Here we go." I whisper. Seconds later the door opens and I slam myself into him, the 2 other girls running to the right.
"Left!" I yell, telling the direction of escape. The man under me rolls us over, straddling me. I thrash as he fumbles with something. A light blinds me, it taking less than a second to adjust and I see a Revonnahgander. "The fuck?" I gasp. Surprising that I know what he is, I know. Not as much if you know I'm alien.
