The night was completely silent besides the sound of the cold wind blowing. Lucius made no sound when he was escaping the three storied Hospital by hanging onto a rope. I questioned whether I'd be able to do it since I have no upper body strength, but my thoughts were shattered when I saw a stone land in front of my feet, which indicated that it was my turn.

I held the rope with my frozen hands and let my legs hang loose against the building. I shut my eyes and exhaled. It was my last chance at escaping; my last chance at life.

I bent my knees so as to support my body weight against the building and slowly descended. I don't know how much time I took, it felt like years. But I made it without falling.

I reached the ground and half smiled at Lucius. I was happy because I reached the ground with all my bones intact, but we still had to get out of the premises of Brooks Hospital.

Lucius told me to wait at back of the building while he would take down the guards. He disappeared from the side of the building, but I didn't stay put. I slowly walked from the other side, to see what Lucius would actually do.

There were two guards inside the gates but outside the building, and one guard inside, on the lower level. Somehow, we planned to escape from them. Our original plan was that Lucius would take care of the guards while I would simply escape with him when the coast would be clear. But I saw a different scenario when I peeked from the side of the building.

Lucius was kneeling on the ground while one guard was holding his arms behind his back and another was hitting his sides with a baton.

I yelled out in fear by accident, which caught the attention of the guards. Lucky, Lucius took advantage of the situation, grabbed the guard's baton and smacked it to the guard's leg. I ran and pounced in the guard who was behind Lucius, but that guard punched me off of him. Lucius got into a fist fight with the guard that had punched me in my face as I spat blood out. I was alright, I just had to take a little bit to retain myself. I watched Lucius take a blow at the second guard's stomach and continue to punch him as he cried out in pain on the ground.

I was so engrossed in the fight that was happening in front of me that I didn't even realise that the night guard from inside the building had come outside. I only realised it when I felt something hit my arm, hard. I fell to the ground and watched the third guard hit Lucius in the back with his baton. I immediately got off of the ground, twisted the guards arm which made him release his baton. I went down to pick it up, which gave the guard time to turn around. But I swung the baton before he could do anything. I swung it hard against his face, which made him fall flat on the ground. He didn't move after that.

"Get up, let's get out here." I told to Lucius, who was kicking the second guard's limp body.
