Chapter 6 - The Great Escape

Misa slowly pushed the cover of and felt the cold marble floor with her feet, she hoisted herself up from the bed and started walking to the door, she tried the door handle but it was locked,

Dammit!, she sprinted swiftly to the window and peered out.

It was a long way down, she wasn't going to risk dying. Misa paced the room wondering how she could get out, she felt cool air on her face and looked up, it was an air vent and it looked pretty big, she could easily fit through it, but how was she going to reach it?

She grabbed a stray chair and placed it below the vent.

Misa stood on the chair and reached for the vent, she tugged at the grate but it wouldn't budge.

She jumped down from the chair and searched for something she could use to open the vent.

There wasn't anything useful around, nothing she could use, she felt around in her pocket and her hand came across that weird blood vial she had picked up earlier, maybe this was keeping them from erasing her memory?

But what was it? She doubted it would help her open the vent, but she had to give it a try.

Now how should she use it? She pressed it against the grate, nothing happened.

Maybe she should put it on? She wondered. It has a chain attached to it.

She attached the necklace around her neck and hovered her hand in front of the vent, there was a spark and the grate fell off making a clang as it hit the floor.

She was struck with amazement, what just happened? What is this thing? What can it do?

She pulled herself into the vent and started crawling, she followed the direction for a little while until she came to a parting which went two ways.

Misa didn't know which way would lead her out of this place, but took a lucky guess and went right.

She saw another grate looking down so she peered down, it lead into a room with a table and chairs all around it, she heard a door opening into the room and decided to stay and find out what was going on.

All the night class students gathered into the room, her eyes widened, those were the people who had kidnapped her.

Her face filled with anger, those bastards! She pressed her head against the grate so she could hear what they were discussing.

'But she's gone.' Takuma yelled. 'That isn't possible, there is no way out?' Kaname inquired, 'The lid of the vent was gone when I checked, she must have gone through the vent.' Takuma reported,

'Dammit, this girl really is a nuisance.' Kaname put his hand to his head. 'Maybe we should just kill her?' A girl's voice chimed in.

Misa gasped, Aido looked up and yelled, 'She's in the vent above us!' and just like that all eyes were on her.

'Get her!' Takuma ordered. Aido ran out of the room and she heard a door open in the room she was in before, CRAP!

She heard someone climbing into the vent. She crawled further searching for another opening, she saw a parting, but as she was deciding which way to go someone grabbed her leg, she screamed and kicked frantically, she turned around and Aido grabbed her other leg and started pulling her towards him, she grabbed onto the two turnings and pulled herself forward, Aido scowled,

'She won't budge, she's holding onto something.' Misa screamed, 'Let go of me!' Aido touched the wall of the vent and it turned to ice spreading to where Misa was holding on, it was much more slippery now but she still wasn't letting go.

'It's no use, she isn't moving.' Aido Wailed. 'We can't let her get away, it's very important that she stays here with us.' Kaname yelled.

'Akatsuki, can you help him?' Takuma requested, 'Alright.' Akatsuki sighed.

He made his way to the vent and asked Aido to move, Aido moved and Akatsuki swiftly took his place. 'Can you come out please?' he insisted. 'Why should I?' She demanded, 'Look you brat! You're not going anywhere, you can come with me the easy way or the hard way, either way is fine with me.'

Misa ignored him and carried on, there was another grate right in front of her, it lead outside onto a grassy hill followed by a forest, Akatsuki was right behind her now, what else could she do?

She kicked the grate with some force and it flew off, she threw herself out of the vent and hit the grass below.
