ESCAPE
"Friends!" Dr. Cable welcomed, "It is time for you to start your new life!"
Tilly's stomach lurched. Could she do this? Dr. Cable went on with information about the new city that Tilly would be taken to. "The city is in a secret location, still in Australia. It is built around the latest technology. It will be filled with people like you, my friends, special people." Dr. Cable's eyes narrowed, and she smiled an evil smile. "But if you put one foot out of line in the new city, punishment will be extremely severe." Tilly stood up. It was a decision of her heart, not her head. "Dr. Cable!" Tilly shouted, "I have to go to the bathroom." Dr. Cable groaned. "Can it wait?" she asked. Tilly shook her head. "Alright," Dr. Cable sighed. "But take someone with you in case something happens to you. We are in a danger area here. This town could blow any second!" Tilly yanked at Violet's arm, and dragged her into the bathroom, inspecting the cruel-looking people blocking the entrances to the food court.
"What are you doing?" Violet hissed.
"I can't do this!" Tilly cried. "You can't either!"
Violet nodded sadly. "No, I don't think I can," Violet admitted. "I just can't leave my family behind. It's unfair."
"We have to leave," Tilly said.
"How, and what will we do after we……." Violet was interrupted by a large explosion outside. The spores had reached Tilly's town sooner than expected. But Tilly wasn't paying attention to the explosions. She was looking at the camera perched in the corner of the room. For all she knew, she could be being watched right now. Tilly had to act now. She glanced wildly around the room for an exit. The only way out of the bathroom was through an electronically padlocked door in the corner of the small room. Tilly hurried over to it. "What are you doing?" Violet asked.
"We've got to open the door," Tilly said, hurriedly, "The specials will be on their way."
"Lock the door, Violet!" Tilly yelled.
"Why?" Violet asked.
"Just do it!" Violet screamed. Now was no time for lolly gagging! Violet got the picture. She walked over to the door and slid the lock closed. Luckily it wasn't an electronic lock, or else she would have needed a finger print to lock it. That was the problem with the lock on the door Tilly was trying to open. It needed a finger print, and it wouldn't read Tilly's. The door rattled on its hinges. "Open up!" someone shouted. "We don't want to hurt you, but if we have to, we will!" Violet leant against the door. She realised why she had to lock the door. Tilly looked around for something to smash the lock with. All she could see was toilet cubicles and sinks. Then Tilly glanced down at her shoes. She had always thought the heel was too sharp. It would go straight through the hollow wooden door with ease. Tilly kicked up her heel, and stabbed the door. A hole formed. Tilly poked her gloved finger into the hole and made it larger. She pulled a hole that was large enough to fit through in the door and called out to Violet. "Violet, I've made a hole, let go of the door!" Tilly called. Violet ran around the corner as Tilly slid through the hole with some trouble. Thank god she was thin. Violet slid half of her body through the door before a hand grabbed her foot. It was a Special, pulling her in. Violet looked around desperately for something to grab onto. Tilly reached out her hand and grabbed Violet's. She yanked and yanked, but her strength couldn't compare to that of the Special. "He must have been in the gym 24/7!" Tilly thought. Violet fell back through the hole. "Noooooooo…….!" she screamed. Tilly peered through the hole, and saw Violet being dragged away. Tilly glanced up. There was a Special just around the corner.
