Disclaimer. Matt belongs to Gokujr564 and the rest belongs to me!
I would like to dedicate this chapter to my friend Harry Webster who died on Christmas Day 2002. I'll miss you Harry Chapter 2
I thought I had everything planned. Yeah right... I had forgotten a couple little details, what would happen once my captors had discovered I had escaped, I didn't even think of it until I heard another type of alarm go off, one I only heard once before a high pitched wail.The ''escaped subject'' alarm. I knew I had to get away from the area, but where to? I thought that once I was out of that place I would be able to make my way, and discover my route as I went, but it was not to be.
A shout of "there she is!" broke my trail of thought and I did the only thing that I could- run! As I ran through the woods I felt the branches of bushes and low trees snag at me, cutting in to me, but I couldn't stop. To stop would mean I would be caught! As I was running I could hear that they were gaining on me, when suddenly one end of a rope was dropped down in front of me and I heard a Male voice call from somewhere above me in the tree tops. I had no time to worry if it was a trap, so I grabbed the rope and hauled myself up in to the foliage above me, Then suddenly, I felt someone from behind help me up on to a thick branch that could support my weight. I looked round to look at my 'helper' and I almost fell of the branch in astonishment- In front of me was a male Echidna/fox crossbreed!
He motioned me to keep silent while my pursuers ran past below me. As I waited I had time to study my rescuer, his fur was green where mine was white and where I had blue, he had a darker shade of green, and his head fur came forward in spikes.
When the coast was clear he finally spoke to me "No time for introductions, it isn't safe here, if you want to remain here and be caught and taken back to the Lab that's fine with me, OR you can trust me once again and follow." With that he balanced on the branch standing up and crossed to the tree trunk and pushed at the bark to reveal a hidden doorway.The Tree was HOLLOW! I decided it probably would be best to follow him. for now at least . He lead the way down a very tight staircase heading quite a way down, until I was sure we must underground. Still following in silence down several darkened corridors, when I glanced at the walls and I could have sworn that I saw tree roots embedded in the walls.
At last we reached a fairly large cavern, there was some kind of glow panels in the walls at certain points and in one corner were a few blankets and supplies. The Mysterious Echfox sat down by the blankets and motioned me to do the same while telling me " My name is Matt, I know where your from, because I too came from there along time ago, I was part of the same project, as you can very well see."
I nodded not really knowing what to say, never really having someone to talk to as an actual person and not a test subject with no intelligence. He looked at me square in the eyes "so what are you called?"
I blinked, slightly taken back by this; the only thing I had been called was my designation back in the lab. "198145" He half smiled and chuckled "Ah your still using the lab numbers, well we cant call you that too much someone might get suspicious and it is slightly hard to remember.so we'll have to think what to call you.
As he was talking I realised how exhausted I was, he must have seen this because he handed me a blanket and told me "Here, rest for now your safe. You've managed to do what only one other person has managed to do, escape to Freedom, from Hell" With that he laid down on the other side of the cavern, I covered myself over and laid down, but I didn't sleep yet, I laid there thinking about all the things that happened and all the possibilities that lay ahead, what I could do, where I could go.
Then it hit me, I might be more of an experiment that I ever was in the Lab. With these thoughts running thru my head, I fell asleep for the first time as a Free Creature.
