Day of whisper chapter 3
"let's get out of here," Dalen says. "more will be here soon." he takes a glimpse around the next corner, "okay, it's clear, now this is the part when we pass or fail.
"his expression changed dramatically. "you see that window?" he points down the hall, the oposite direction he looked. I nod. "it's been weakened by other prisoners, but they had no chance to open it alone. But now there's two of us, so the chances is better." I glance at him, he seemed to have seen others try this way out before. "well if we're going to do it we should do it now." Dalon nod his head.
We both rush to the window. I grab one side of the bar cage blocking it and dalen grabs the other side. "on three," we both plant a foot on the wall. "one... My grip was good...two... The bars were strong...three... We were stronger... Pull!
The bars come crashing down. "that was loud, the other guards will be here soon." Dalen jumps through the window, without hesitating,I follow.
I wish i did hesitate. We both fell down two stories to the ground, then rolled down a steep hill. the first landing was quite painful, but to add the tremendous hill side roll, it was unbearable.
once I reached the bottom, I landed in the cool lake water. I was already out of breath from the fall so I had to quickly get to the surface. when i crawled out of the cool water and my eyes adjusted to the light, i saw Dalen standing there. "sorry I didn't warn you about the fall" he was smiling again.
We both hid under a nearby bridge. "So how long do you think they will be looking for us?" Dalen laughed, "look for US? they couldn't care less about us, they beat us throw us in prison for a wile and then throw us back out when we learn our lesson." He stares into my eyes, " they don't do it because it's right, they do it for the gold!" He puases, "why do you think the rich don't end up in jail?" this got me thinking, "it's because they bribe their way out with all that extra gold they got."
So we stayed under that bridge it dawn the next day. "We should head out now." Dalen looks up at me, "where to?" That got me thinking again. I don't have anywhere to go. "come with me," he had that smirk. " to the waterfront, i got a few friends that can get any bounty off our heads, for a price of course." I didn't really have any other choice, so i nodded my head in approval.
