Chapter 49

Brittany's POV

"We can't leave". I declared to Samantha.

She looked at me with a look that screamed, "Seriously?!"

"I know, I know. It's just- Something came up". I said.

"Is it serious?" She asked, sighing in defeat.

"Apparently, my master came to get me. I think he's in trouble". I said.

"Wait, you're a pet?" She asked.

Okay, let's just say it skipped my mind to tell her that I was a pet.

"Yeah, sorry, I just- okay, I'm out of excuses. I'm sorry". I said.

"You'll have to do better than that, young lady. But we have to think of a way to save your master... That is if you're sure he is in danger. Are you sure he's even here?" She asked, looking at me in disbelieve.

"Yeah, there's this- he just spoke into my head and-"

"Okay, okay. I believe you". She said, even though her expression said the exact opposite.

"Do you have a plan?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"You know surrendering ourselves to them is going to make matters worse, right?" She said.

"I know. How about we find a way to open the door then we find help?"

"Well, we don't have a better option, do we?"

After spending about ten minutes trying to open the door, we finally succeeded.

But the path down there was pitch black.

"Um, we need some light here. I forgot to bring a torchlight". I said.

Luckily, we found a torchlight lying on the floor. Why was there a torch lying on the floor? Maybe we weren't the first people that have tried to escape this place. Luckily, the torch wasn't rechargeable. It needed batteries to function.

"Any luck finding the batteries?" I asked Samantha.

"Not yet". She said. "I found a box-"

She said, searching the wooden box in her hands. I waited in anticipation for feedback.

"Aaaand, it has batteries in it. Looks like someone used to live here". She said, holding up the battery. "It has a few things we could use".

People have definitely tried to escape through this place before. That means they were probably aware that this place existed. It made me wonder if those people survived or not. What happened to them?

I shoved a lighter, some stuff from an abandoned first aid kit and some extra batteries into the bag strapped on my back.

We walked down the now fairly lighted hallway.

"I honestly didn't expect this hallway to be so-" She said, searching for the right word to fit in the sentence.

"Dusty?" I suggested.

"Yeah". She said.

The hallway definitely didn't exceed my expectations. I expected more, considering how exotic the large room was.

"Definitely not what I expected". Samantha said as if reading my mind.

"Get out of my mind!" I said.

We both chuckled. After a long walk, we came by another door.

As soon as we stepped outside the door, we were graced with the smell of... trees?

And then I realized... We were outside! We were finally outside!!

I've never been happier to see trees!

"Okay... I'm glad we're out. So- what's next?" Samantha asked.

"Next... We find help. I need to talk to Rhea". I replied.

"Who's Rhea?"

"Cole's twin".

But how was I going to find her?

Cole's POV

Coldwater was dunked on me by one of the numerous bastards in the room.

"You could have woken me up in a nicer way, you know". I groaned, trying to get comfortable on the wooden chair I'd been tied to.

"Nah, it's much more fun like this". Dexter said, with a smirk plastered on his face.

You can smirk all you want now. I'm going to do much more than pouring cold water on you once I get out of here.

"You know you won't be able to hold me here for long". I told him.

He rolled his eyes.

"Yes, I will-"

Before he completed his sentence, I realized he brought up the conversation to distract me so one of his men could inject me.

"What's that?" I asked.

"Just something that'll keep you weak for a couple of hours. Till your pet arrives".

My body fell limp in a couple of minutes. Staying awake was useless because I couldn't even move so I lured myself to sleep.

I only needed Brittany to stay safe. They knew where she was. She was just walking into their trap.

Thana's POV

I glared at the bulky man that practically threw me into one of the cells in the dungeon. Malcolm was thrown into the cell beside. We were only separated by bars so we could still talk but not when there was a man that was three times my size and two times Malcolm's glaring at us. He locked the door and stood in front of us, still glaring.

I reached into the inner pocket of my jacket and took out the only weapon those fools didn't take from me.

My chapstick.

Malcolm gave me a questioning look, probably wondering what I was going to use a short stick made of lip balm for.

"Hey, what's that?" The bulky man said, pointing at the chapstick in my hands.

I rolled my eyes.

"What else? A chapstick". I said.

Malcolm facepalmed.

Ignorant creatures.

"A chapstick-" I said again. "That can do this!"

I pressed the button under the chapstick, shooting a sedative right into his arm.

That's right, a chapstick loaded with sedatives.

I came here prepared.

"Bitch". He growled, reaching out to open the door. He opened the door and stalked in. He reached out to grab my hair. But the sedative had already weakened him.

I let out a relieved sigh when I heard a thud on the floor.

I smirked and took out the other keys from his pocket.

"Sleep tight". I whispered, taking out his weapons. A gun and two small knives.

I walked out and unlocked Malcolm's door. He still looked stunned.

"What? I prepared for the worst. Dexter is a cunning fox". I said innocently with a shrug.

"Let's find Cole". Malcolm said.

"I need my bag. It has more weapons". I said.

Our things were going to be kept somewhere far away from the dungeon and someone was probably going to be there, watching over the bags. They probably knew we were going to come for our bags after we tried to escape.

We walked out of the dungeon and found out our things were kept in lockers with codes. I checked around to see if anyone was there, guarding the locker.

None.

That was suspicious. Then I realized-

It was too easy. Our escape was too easy.

They knew we were going to get out.

"It's a trap". I told Malcolm.

I quickly broke the lock after disabling the alarm that was put on it. I took out my bag and handed Malcolm's weapons over to him. I quickly exchanged the gun I took from the bulky man with my own weapons and zipped up my bag.

"Quick! We need to get out of here". I said, grabbing Malcolm's wrist.

Too late.

They were already here.

"Someone wants to be the heroine so bad". Dexter said in a sing-song manner.

I put on a cold demeanor. The only emotion coursing through me at that moment was the hate I felt for him.

I quickly looked around, taking note of the number of men with him.

Four men. Two on each side.

He probably positioned two men outside, just in case him and the four men weren't able to stop us. Judging by how arrogant he was, he was probably ninety- eight percent sure he could take us down even without help from his men. The defense outside was going to be weak.

"Why don't we fight instead of engaging in a fruitless talk?" I said coldly.

"Good idea". He said.

Typical Dexter. He would never back down from a good fight or any form of challenge.

The two men by his right side charged towards us. I quickly shot one of them in the leg. While the second one was still in a daze, I shot him in the leg too. They both fell limp on the floor.

I didn't miss the shocked looks on their faces when they realised they weren't healing.

I smirked. Of course, they couldn't heal, those bullets were covered in vervain. They were obviously going to die.

The other two charged towards us, trying a different approach. But I knew my timing too well. I shot one of them, Malcolm shot the other one.

"Looks like it's two against one". Dexter said.

I have waited for this moment for so long.
