De-Ji's eyes were wide by the time she had heard all that Suta had to say about her plan. It was a good one, assuming nothing and nobody was on the other side of the wall. She had to admit that she was impressed by Suta punching through inches of steel though. She told Suta her opinion, and to tell the rest of them.
"You tell them! I had to come up with it!" Suta whispered fiercely to her. De-Ji furrowed her eyebrows and refused. It was her idea, so why should she have to tell all of them? Maybe it was just her, but Suta's reason sounded kinda stupid.
The girl with black hair was in the corner next to them, and overheard. Snickering to herself, she called everybody to attention.
"Okay, I might have a plan to escape with," She announced. De-Ji whispered to Suta, wondering if it was a good one, then she heard the rest. "Suta has a power to break down the walls, right?" Suta nodded, and the girl continued, "Well, she should punch through the back wall!" De-Ji's mouth dropped. She had stolen their idea! And to make matters worse, she was getting the glory for it! All of the girls were praising her brilliant idea and somesuch. De-Ji stuck her tongue out at all of them, and turned to Suta, who had a similar reaction. They both glared at the girl, but agreed to go along with her farce. Suta got everybody to stand against the opposite wall, then summoned her power again. De-Ji hated it when Suta did that. It always gave her bad memories of the first time she had used it, and couldn't control it. Her eyes glowed the bright blue again, and her arms almost seemed to bulge with muscles, then she moved almost with lightning speed as she battered at the wall, resulting in a huge dent. She paused for a second, shaking away the pain in her knuckles. Then she went at it again, with more success. Suddenly, a timid girl with blue hair who nobody had heard speak before said,
"Somebody's trying to open the door." De-Ji almost hadn't heard her, but fortunately did. She told everyone, and they were soon back in place. Suta's eyes slowly stopped glowing, and were just barely done when the knob turned. The guard came in again and saw the indentation in the wall. His jaw dropped, and he asked furiously,
"what happened?!" All the girls looked around at each other, and De-Ji came up with an idea.
"It's so cramped in here that the walls are coming apart," she said hopefully. The guard glared at her and replied,
"yeah right, but it doesn't matter. You can't escape." Laughing to himself, he closed the door tight again and locked it. All the girls sighed in relief and looked around. They all said that they didn't want to try it again so soon, and sat where they were. De-Ji located the small girl with blue hair, and thanked her quietly. The little girl smiled and blushed a little, then lowered her head. De-Ji went back over to Suta and sat down. There was no room to lay down, but she decided to take a nap. She needed to conserve her strength.
She was awakened by a knock after what she assumed was a few hours later. The girls scrambled around the door, obviously knowing what was happening. De-Ji thought they were going to rush the guard when he came in, and joined at the back. The door opened and the guard came in. De-Ji started to move forward, but managed to catch herself before she fell onto the girl in front of her. It was the girl with black hair again, and she looked back and sneered at De-Ji. De-Ji gave her an apologetic look without meaning it, then looked back again at the guard. He was handing out brown and green lumps of something that the girls were taking into their spaces. De-Ji moved slowly toward him, and saw that it was moldy pieces of bread. She grimaced, but took one. When she got back, she picked off the pieces of mold and ate it. It was pretty stale, but it had been a while since she had eaten and she needed the energy. A girl crawled over to her and asked for the moldy pieces. De-Ji agreed to give them to her, she hadn't wanted them anyway, but the girl was immensely grateful. Sighing, D-eJi watched Suta eat her bread.
