Chapter 17: Prisoners Loose!
Jason's P.O.V
I open my eyes feeling someone's arms around me and their breathe down my neck. I blush slightly. I move a little and realize it's Skylar. I sit up as Seto comes in. He stops and looks at us. Wait why is he here?! And where is here?! Also he probably doesn't know about Skylar and me. I know Seto doesn't want Skylar to date yet. And Seto is basically what you would say, Skylar's older brother that's not related to her.
"Ummm..ahhh..hey." I said. He bites down his bottom lip for a second.
"Hi." He said. I feel Skylar's arms go around mine, bring me down a little bit. "So how long has this been going on behind my back huh?" I shake Skylar a little and her eyes open.
"Skylar help." I said quietly. Skylar sits up a little rubbing her eyes a little.
"With what?" She asks. She looks at Seto. Her eyes widen. She lets go of my arm immediately. Skylar stands up looking at Seto. "I'm so happy your okay." She's trying to change the subject. That's not gonna work. I look at my ankle as Skylar and Seto argue. My ankle is wrapped up. It still hurts a little.
Wait Sky! Where is he? He's probably dead. There's no way he would have been able to make that fall. I bite down my bottom lip. He made a enderman mad if I recall cause I looked at the enderman to start with. Sky got shot in the arm before that as well. Skylar comes down next to me.
"You okay Jason?" She asks.
"How long was I out?" I ask.
"A day I think." She said. I look at Seto. Skylar looks at him and then me. "I'll leave you two alone." She gets up and leaves. I look at Seto.
"Look man. About Skylar-"
"Jason I don't care. I know you will treat her right and not like douchebag." He said. He sits down. "But I'm more curious if your mad at me about what happened at Kim's." I stare at him. Kim's? Seto didn't even touch me. It was the others he hit.
"You know I could never be mad at you. Mitch and Jerome on the other hand...they are a different story." I said.
"I don't remember what happened. Last thing I remember was getting Skylar and her friends. Then everything went fuzzy from there." He said. So he was controlled. I look at the ground.
"I'm gonna hate myself for this. But I'll tell you as much as I know. I was locked in a cell for what felt like forever." I said.
Mitch's P.O.V
"Kireda. Kireda, wake up." I said. I pull on the rope behind me that has my wrists together. I'm standing up looking at Kireda who is tied to a chair. She's knocked out. I thought she got out of the Benja base but I'm wrong. "Kireda." She moves slightly. She picks up her head a little and opens her eyes.
"W-What?" She said quietly. She looks down and starts struggling. "No. No. How the hell did I get?"
"Calm down." I said. She looks at me and her eyes widen.
"Mitch. Your still alive. What's going on Mitch? What's happening?" She asks.
"I don't know. But calm down. Can you get out of that somehow?" I ask. She moves her wrists and moves around.
"No. No. It's too tight, Miittcchh." She said sounding scared.
"It's okay." I said.
"Arrows." Someone said. I look to the side, seeing Red come walking in holding a quiver full of arrows and a bow.
"Red." I said.
"What a unique killing style. Me, myself has never had the patience for archery." Red looks at Kireda, stopping feet come her.
"Hello sweetheart. You were wondering out alone, how you find this building. I don't know. But you were perfect for this." Red said dropping the stuff on the ground.
"For..For what?" Kireda said. Red points to me.
"Two generals are dead. And one more will be added to the list." Red said.
"No!" Kireda said. Red picks up the bow and puts an arrow in it.
"Let's go slow and painful." Red said. He pulls the arrow back and aims at me. "Now I know you were hurt before you got here. But I'm just gonna have to rehurt you."
"No! No! No. Don't!" Kireda shouted. Red looks over at her. He lowers the bow.
"Your already starting to annoy me darling." He said. I look at the arrows. They are close. I walk over towards them slowly.
Kireda's P.O.V
Red comes up to me, drops the bow on the floor, and grabs the side of my throat. I struggle a little. I stare at Red.
"Say something else sweetie. I dare you." He said as he puts the arrowhead's edge on my throat. I say nothing. I feel like I should not be scared, but I'm terrified right now. "That's-" Red looks over at Mitch. I look too. Where is he?! The rope that had him is laying on the floor. "What the f**k."
"Get away from her Red." Someone said. I look over at the side seeing Mitch with a bow and an arrow pointed inches away from Red's head.
"Mitch." I said with a small smile. Red grins.
"So your gonna kill me huh?" He asks letting go of me. He stands up straight looking at Mitch. "Funny. Ty seemed stronger willed then you and I played on every one of his weaknesses and he gave in. You..." Mitch takes a few steps forward putting the arrow tip against Red's chest.
"You left a bow and a quiver full of arrows right next to me to threaten Kireda. That's not a very smart move to do that." Mitch said. I look at Red's hand that is behind his back. And it's glowing. He's a Mage!
"Mitch, watch out!" I said. Red shoots a spell at Mitch. Mitch jerks to the side, dodging the spell. He hits Red and Red goes down. Mitch drops the bow and comes to me.
"Thanks. You okay?" He asks as he unties my left wrist.
"Yeah." I said. He unties my wrist. I start undoing my other wrist. Mitch grabs the quiver and the bow as I get up.
"Let's see." He said. Mitch moves Red's jacket. Searching him. Why?
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Here we are." He said as he grabs a ring of keys. He stands up putting them in his pocket. "Keys to the dungeons I'm hoping." I lose all my weapons. Not good.
"Is he dead?" I ask.
"Not yet. But him being dead would be better." Mitch said. He picks up his bow and puts an arrow in it.
"But..Mitch." I said. He looks at me.
"Kireda he is a Dark Mage. He'll hunt us down and then kill us both. We barely have enough time to waste here." He said. I look away as he shoots Red. He grabs my hand and pulls on my arm a little as we leave. I blush. He lets go of me. "We need to get to the dungeons."
"Why?" I ask. We sneak around, hiding when we can.
"The Generals and recruits are down there." Mitch said.
"You got a plan?" I ask.
"No. I'm winging it right." He said. I walk forward but he grabs me and pulls me against him "Quiet." Three guards walk pass us. We move on the other side of the pillar as they turn around.
"You know where the dungeons are?" I whisper.
"No." He whispered back. Mitch lets go of me. We run down the hall. We run pass big doors, but Mitch stops looking in. I stop and look at him.
"Come on." I said.
"Alesa." Mitch said. What? I walk over by him and see her in some cage. We go inside the big room. I push the doors closed.
Mitch's P.O.V
I run up to Alesa.
"Alesa." I said. I see her eyes open and she looks at me.
"Mitch?" She said. She comes over to me. "Mitch how did you-"
"Doesn't matter." I said. Kireda comes over to me. I give her the keys. Kireda starts looking through the ring, trying to find the right one. I stare at the door.
"Your not gonna find the right one. They'll notice I'm gone. You got to leave." Alesa said. I look at Alesa.
"But-" Alesa looks at me. She takes off Sky's amulet and gives to me.
"Keep it safe. It's all we have left of Sky." She said. I look at the amulet. So he..he is gone. I put it in my pocket. I look at the door seeing the handle turning. I grab Kireda and we hide near the windows, in the shadows behind furniture. I hear walking and it's Kim. I look up seeing the window. It's small. I open it up slowly as Kim talks to Alesa. I push open the window slowly and look down. It's a drop into a river. No problem. As long as the river is deep. I put the bow around me.
"We got to jump or climb down." I whisper.
"What?" Kireda asks. There is no way we can make it out of this room through the front doors and stay alive.
"We have to." I said.
"No. I'm not jumping or climbing down." Kireda said. I look at her.
"And I'm not leaving you here." I said. I pick her up and slide through the window. I grab the edge and put my feet on some bricks. Kireda holds onto me tight. I'm not much of a rock climber. I look down. I climb down a little more before the window opens more. An arrow skims my arm and leaves a cut. I look down again. Looks like we are jumping.
"Prisoners loose!" Someone yelled.
"Kireda hold onto me." I said. Kireda does.
"Why-" I push off the wall. She screams. I move so I'm between her and the river. She holds onto me tight. Then we hit the river. Thankfully it's not a shallow one. The powerful current pushes us to the left of the building, away from it. I swim up to the surface, still holding onto Kireda. She moves her arms around my neck tightly. I look around, trying to stay surfaced and finding a branch of something in the water. The building shrinks in the distance. I grab a tree branch, pulling us to a stop and against the current. I put my arm around Kireda's waist.
"Kireda you got to do something. Let go." I said. She meets my eyes.
"Okay." She said. I turn her around and she grabs the branch. We get out of the river slowly and both collapse onto the ground. I sit up. "O my god. Let's never do that again." I look at my arm where the arrow got me. It's just a cut. I'll live.
"We got to go. Something tells me they won't let us go." I said getting up. Kireda gets up. She looks around.
"Let's see. This looks familiar. Follow me." She said.
