(From now on, italics thoughts of a character)
Henry pulled in Walt to the room Shannon shared. He had found Shannon and Walt hiding out in the forest together and was only too glad to use them as hostages against Jack and his little camp.
Pffsht. What does that idiot know? Who the hell does he think he is, misleading a group of survivors into thinking that they'll actually.. Survive?
He quickly pressed a button.
At that very moment, a loud CLANK! sounded out; Charlie and Claire stared questioningly. What had just occurred? They did not know the answer but, sure enough, found out. As they turned a small bend after crawling some more, that eerie green light was found to be the same one from the very room they had just escaped from!
"Come on down, Charlie and Claire.." stated Henry in a very matter of fact tone. Henry had of course established a camera system throughout the entire facility so that even the secret passageway that Charlie and Claire had just crawled out of was being monitored.
Of course, Charlie and Claire had no reason to stay in the tiny, cramped up space. To their amusement, Henry had positioned correctly the very chair used to escape the room.
"Charlie! Claire!" screamed out Shannon. What a relief it was to see more people she knew!
Henry closed the passageway that had been deceivingly been twisted in and turned in such a manner that did not allow one to ever escape.
"Don't try escaping again, my little… hamster." Henry chuckled as if there was no tomorrow and locked the room, letting himself out.
"What's going on guys?!" screamed Shannon. She was furious, confused, and embarrassed all at the same time. She and Walt had been so close to escaping.
"You and Walt ok?" Charlie said in a rushed manner. Walt nodded, ensuring that both him and Shannon were okay for now.
At that moment, Claire turned and hugged Charlie. She couldn't stand the misery. First they had been dragged into a cave. The others that had captured them had left the cave momentarily to get food and Charlie and Claire had managed to escape stealthily, only to be captured a day again later, of course. Now, they were trapped in an even worse situation. The others had brought them to this hell. It was just their luck.
Save us, someone, please.
It was that wistful look that Charlie, Shannon, and Walt felt from Claire's eyes that made them determined more than ever to outwit The Others.
I'm tying up this entire story in the next chapter. So please review. )
