LETTER UNSENT,

Dear Iggy and Gazzy,

The rattling of the keys made me suddenly alert, and I turned around in the tiny cage to see Kat sitting a few metres away, holding the Keys.

"We can escape" she whispered, and I was shocked to hear her talk after being quiet for so many days.

Sliding the key along the cold floor, Kat crossed her fingers.

I picked up the key and managed to stretch enough to open her cage.

"How did you get the key?" I whispered.

"The whitecoat dropped it" Jinx.

Kat opened my cage, then Fang's and Amen's and Angel's

And for the first time in days,

We had hope.

MAX
