Chapter 3: The Escape
Have you ever woken up, but not opened your eyes right away, because you wanted to try and go back to sleep? Well this is exactly what I did, snuggling into my nice warm pillow and sighing contentedly. Wait a minute…. Since when do pillows breathe…? Or have arms?
My eyes flew opened and I came face to face with a still peacefully sleeping Trevor. I was cuddled up to him and my head was resting on his chest, and he had his arms wrapped securely around my waist. Can you say Awkward?
I had to admit though; he looked really sweet when he was sleeping…. Oh god what's wrong with me? Very slowly and carefully I attempted to wiggle out of his arms. The key word there being attempted. As soon as I moved his arms tightened around me and he pulled me closer. Dammit. I didn't want to wake him up 'cause that would be really weird.
Ok…. What to do, what to do. Then I got an idea. Trevor was lying quite close to the edge of the bed so I placed both my hands on his chest and pushed, hard. If only I had accounted for the small detail that his arms were still around me…..
Both of us tumble to the ground, Trevor landing on his back with and 'oof' and me landing on top of him. Oops.
"Ow," he groaned and his eyes opened, locking with mine, our faces were only inches away from each other "well god morning. Why are we on the floor?" he asked.
"Umm….. I rolled over in my sleep?" I said this more like a question then a fact and he raised his eyebrows skeptically.
"Ok, so would you mind letting me up?" asked Trevor smiling a little.
"You have to let go of me first," I said smirking at him and trying not to blush.
"Uh… right, sorry," he mumbled, removing his arms.
I got off of him and we both stood up. Both of us were silent not sure what to say. Thankfully though we were saved from this by a small voice saying "Jess?"
I whipped my head around and saw little Lucas sitting up in his bed and looking at me with confusion. I ran over to him and pulled him into a tight hug. "It's ood to see your awake," I said "How you feeling buddy?"
"My head hurts but I'm ok," he replied, giving me a small smile. "Who's that?" he asked pointing over my shoulder, I turned and saw Trevor watching us curiously.
I motioned for him to come over and said "Lucas this is Trevor. Trevor meet Lucas."
"Nice to meet you Lucas," said holding out his hand, which Lucas eyed cautiously.
"It's ok we can trust him," I said to Lucas. Lucas looked at me then back to Trevor's outstretched hand and shyly shook it.
"Jesse," Jesse was his nickname for me "where are we?" Lucas asked. So I began to explain everything that had happened to him finishing up by telling him about our powers. "Wow! Really, so we can do magic?" He said his eyes wide with excitement.
"Yep," I said laughing at the look of awe on his face, it was so cute.
"Um Jesse?" he asked again.
"Yeah Sweetie?" I replied.
"I'm hungry," he said, and as if to prove his point his stomach gave a loud grumble.
"I know honey, I am too. Trevor?" I said, giving him a questioning look.
"They should be delivering food any moment now actually," as he said this, there was a rattling from across the room as a small tray was slid under the door by heavy set guy who gave us a nasty smile before walking away.
On the tray there were three small rolls of bread "how generous of them," I commented dryly.
"Well it kind of is," said Trevor "normally there's only half a roll."
"Jeez, you get better food in a dumpster," I said.
"Yea I know," Trevor chuckled "but you get used to it after awhile."
"Just how long have you been here?" I asked curiously.
Trevor's eyes darkened slightly as he said "about a month I think."
"Wow….," I said, honestly speechless "is there any way you could use your powers to get out of her?"
He shook his head and said "No, all the cells are magic proof."
"That sucks…..," I mutter "but there has to be some sort of loop hole."
"Well there is one thing but it's risky…..," he said trailing off, as I looked at him expectantly. "Every night at around Mid-night is when they bring in new prisoners; they have to shut down all the security and the magic proof barriers that surround this place."
"Why would they do that?" I interrupted him.
"I'll tell if you let me," He said with a glare, I smiled innocently and pretended to lock my mouth and throw away the key. "Why the shut everything down is because somehow our magic interferes with the electronics, and they take the barrier down cause we can't come in if it's up."
I nodded my head and said "So that would be our time to try and escape?"
"Exactly, are you willing to try it?" He asked.
"Hell yea!" I answer "what about you Lucas? You up for it?"
"Yea!" he said punching his fist up in the air. "Um.. can we eat now?"
I laughed as did Trevor "of course we can. Then we make our escape at mid-night."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINE OF AWESOMENESS!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ok we have 15 minutes till we make our escape. What's the plan?"
"Uh… plan?"
"This escape was your idea I thought you had a plan!"
"I do!"
"Oh yea? Then what is it?"
Shit. As you saw above Trevor and I were having an argument about the fact I didn't have a plan to escape. "Um….. ok fine I've got nothing ," I admitted.
"Yea I thought so that's why I came up with a plan just in case," Said Trevor snidely.
"Ok so what's the plan, oh wise one," I said making a mock bow.
He rolled his eyes and said "Alright so when it hits min-night we'll have around ten minutes to get out of here. Jess your going to have to melt the bars on the cell, think you can do that?"
"Sure," I replied, although truthfully I wasn't sure I could.
"Good. Lucas if needed do you think you could make a small twister to attack the Clan guys with?"
"I don't know…," Lucas said, in a nervous tone.
"It's fine if you can't, don't worry. There are plenty of distractions that I can do," Trevor reassured him. "Now," he said rubbing his hands together "you guys ready to do this?" Both Lucas and I nodded. "Ok we have like two more minutes Jess put your hads on the bars and get ready."
"Yes sir!" I said saluting him, then walking over and placing my hands on the cold metal bars, gripping them tightly.
The lights flickered ever so slightly and Trevor said "Now," in a low whisper.
I focused hard on my hands heating up, and I began to feel the metal weakening under them. Wow it was working! I couldn't believe I was doing it! I opened my eyes and saw that they were glowing bright red, as were the steel bars of the cell. I pushed the bars so that there was enough space for a person to pass through and then let go of them, shaking my hands to help cool them off.
"Great job Jess," Trevor said smiling at me, and giving me a pat on the shoulder. "Let's go."
We all dashed out into the hallway running as fast as we could. "We need to take a right, a left, and another right, then up a flight of stairs and through the yard outside."
I nodded my head, then said "But what about the other kids?"
"We don't have time to help them right now. We'll come back for them, but we have to leave now!" Trevor whisper/yelled.
"Alright," I said sadly, looking back at the other kids one more time before focusing on my running. I looked down at my feet and saw a fuzzy orange blur running alongside me. "Jupiter!" I exclaimed, leaning down and scooping up the small cat "Where the heck were you? Trevor look who I found," I called.
"Here pass him to me," Trevor said, I did and Trevor put Jupiter up on his shoulder.
"Hey why do you even have a cat anyway?" I asked.
He gave me a look that said do-we-have-to-talk-about-this-now-while-we're-running-for-our-lives? But he still answered me "He's not a normal cat. He's my spirit animal, every Sorcerer gets one soon after they've discovered their power. They are much smarter than any other animal and you can communicate telepathically with them. Is that enough of an explanation for you?"
"Yep," I replied.
"Good cause we got trouble," he said pointing ahead of us, where four Clan guys were coming around the corner of a hallway. "I hope you're a good fighter!"
"Well your about to find out!" I called to him "Lucas you ready?"
"Yep!" he yelled.
All of us raced to the men who by now had spotted us and had their clubs raised. When I got close enough to the first one, I launched myself into the air landing a spinning kick on the side of his head. Lucas ran at the other guy, ducking as he swung his club then kicking him where the sun don't shine, causing him to collapse in pain. "Not bad," comment Trevor, who had handled his two guys with ease.
"You were pretty good yourself," I said panting slightly, and nodding toward the guys he had taken down.
He smiled and said "We're almost out; we just have to get up those stairs and out to the yard."
Within seconds we were outside, and by now there were men swarming all over the place. "There's way too many we can't fight them all!" I cried.
"I know we're just going to have to run for it," Trevor called pointing at the shadowed outline of the gate.
I grabbed Lucas's hand, and we ran, dodging men, and clubs left and right as we did. And then by some miracle we were out. "Freedom!" I shouted, punching my fist in the air.
"Not quite!" Trevor called pointing at the gate, where at least twenty men were.
"Oh shit," I said. I looked around wildly and then "guys I know where we are follow me. Neither of them questioned me as we ran down the sidewalks of New York City, turning left and right in what seemed like a random pattern.
Finally we came to an alley way, which I turned into and ran down the length of to the end then stopped, breathing heavily. "Where… are we," Trevor panted coming to a stop beside me, with Lucas following behind him.
"This is….. a hiding place… we used once," I replied also panting. I gestured to a rusy door next to me and continued "it's like an old hotel building, we should be safe in here for awhile," I said opening the door and walking.
"Yea…," Lucas said slowly "I remember this place."
I nodded "you were probably like five when we came here," I said. "alright guys let's scout around just to make sure no one's already here."
"Well, well, well. Who do we have here?" said a voice, defiantly male, from the other side of the room, and we all whipped around to see who it was. "Wait…. Trevor? Is that you? Long time no see buddy!"
