Chapter Eleven
The cart squeaked to a stop at the end if a hallway. I listened closely to the sound of the maid's fading footsteps the the metallic click of a door locking somewhere down a nearby hallway. I hesitantly pulled back the curtain, blinking as my eyes adjusted to the harsh light of a small room that connected to a hallway that ended in a steel door where I assume the maid went. Then another door to my left caught my attention. Another metal door with no handle and a faintly glowing sign that hung above it reading: 'EXIT'. I jumped up, rushing toward the door before pushing it open. I half expected it to lead to another hallway but instead it came out into the cool outside air. The sky was dark with stormclouds hanging above the city. I found myself standing on a metal staircase that lead down into an alley behind the building I had been kept in.
''So you managed to escape after all, Xiaoli.'' A familiar voice echoed from above me. I spun around, my heart sinking. There, standing on a steel platform only fifteen feet above me was the last person I expected to see. 'Damn, maybe I wont be escaping tonight after all...'
''Ash.''
