Chapter 9: Escape Attempt

Alex slowly headed into the room and slowly made it to her bed. "Alex, why are you so happy?" Stevie asked seeing Alex walk into the room with a smile. Alex didn't say anything as she pulled out some paint from her bag. "Alex, what are you going to do?"

Alex turned around and then headed for Miss Hanson's room. Soon Alex returned to her bed and put the paint way. "Alex, what did you do?" Stevie asked sternly.

"You'll see." Alex said and then changed into some other clothes before lying down and falling asleep.

"Alex, you're pushing things way too far." Stevie said after Alex had fallen asleep.

The next day Alex woke up to the sound of the bugle. Soon Miss Hanson came out of her room with a very angry look on her face. "Cadet Russo, you are in so much trouble." Miss Hanson said pulling out some clothes and sheets covered in paint. "You've done yourself in Cadet. In fact, I've had enough of your little pranks as much fun as they've been. It's time for you to see where the hardest Cadets end up." Everyone in the room grew wide eyed at this knowing exactly where she would end up. Stevie however knew all too well just what was about to happen. "Five days Isolation."

Stevie knew she would be in trouble for this but she felt like she had to say something. "Please, Miss Hanson, not Isolation. Can't she just do some very extensive work, anything but that?" Stevie begged

"Cadet, you know very well what happens when you stand up for someone like her." Stevie simply nodded and then Miss Hanson continued. "Three slices of bread for you today."

Alex jaw dropped at hearing this. "What did she do, stand up for me. Isn't that what people in the army are supposed to do, stand up and protect others? Isn't that what you're supposed to teach here?" Alex asked angrily.

"Yes but you don't protect those who can't protect themselves because then it's a waste of your own efforts." Miss Hanson said sternly and then grabbed Alex by the shirt and pushed her out the door leaving everyone in the room to watch.

"I can't believe you just did that Stevie. Do you want to starve?" another Cadet asked but got no response. "I realize that she is your friend but you know the rules, protect those that can protect themselves." The cadet then walked away leaving Stevie to think. Soon everyone but Stevie headed to breakfast and soon one of the other cadets brought Stevie back a slice of bread. Stevie just pushed it away and turned on her bed. "Eat when you're ready." A cadet said and then left.

Alex had been taken to what looked like a small building but when she stepped inside, there were stairs leading downward. Alex stayed silent as they walked and soon her and Miss Hanson came to a metal door and opened it up. Inside was a bed and a toilet in the room. Alex was pushed into the room and then door shut behind her. "This whole place is crazy." Alex walked over to the door and pounded on it. "You hear me, crazy!" Alex screamed knowing very well that no one heard her.

That day Alex just sat on the bed bored with nothing to do. "This is the most boring thing on earth, how are they allowed to treat people this way." Alex said and then thought to the things that she would do. Soon a frown appeared on her face. "I treat people this way all the time but I've gotten better until this boot camp." Alex said and then went to sleep on the hard bed.

The second day and Alex had grown tired of being in there. "I get it, now let me out." Alex said pounding on the door. At this point Alex decided to come up with some kind of escape plan.

Day three came around and Alex started pounding on the walls and the door. "Someone get me out of here!" Alex screamed getting ready to go crazy.

Day Four came and Alex had started going crazy. "I'll get out of here, I swear I will." Alex said into her pillow and then started to pound her head against the bed which hurt very badly.

Day Five came around and Alex had fallen to her knees feeling the want to gag herself. Alex then started picking up things from around the room that aren't there and started to throw them around. Alex grabbed onto some sheets off her bed and then pound them into the ground and then flipped her bed over. Alex then went over to the toilet and pulled the seat off and threw in into the ground. The whole day Alex had acted like a nutcase ready to get out of the room which seemed like it grew smaller and smaller every day. Alex soon ran out of energy and fell to the ground and knocked her out.

Day six and Miss Hanson had gone down the steps and opened up the door and picked up Alex's body and helped her to her feet. "Come on cadet." Miss Hanson said dragging Alex up the stairs. Miss Hanson opened the door letting the sun shine on Alex. Alex closed her eyes not used to the sun. However she got used to it after about ten minutes and then looked up at Miss Hanson remembering what she had planned on doing. Alex knocked Miss Hanson to the ground and then ran over to the switch that disabled the electric fence. She quickly ran toward the fence when something invisible grabbed onto her a few feet from the fence. Alex smiled and then pulled out her wand and used it to transport.

Jacob White quickly used his magic to turn the fence back on and turn the spell lock back on making Alex fall short and reappear on the fence which shocked her. Jacob used his magic to then disable the electric fence and let Alex fall unconscious to the ground. "She is really determined to get out isn't she?" Jacob asked.

"Yes, get her back to her bed and let her sleep. I think she should be good from now on." Miss Hanson said turning around and heading back to her room.
