《The Elementals》Chapter 3: Getting Away
Advertisement
What felt like days but only hours had passed and yet no one had come for them. They were feeling hopeless. At anytime now they would be taken away and killed. Mercy was thinking of what all she could have done in her life. Liam was just sitting and thinking about nothing. Tarah was regretting ever making this journey. Wayne on the other hand looked as if he was worried, but something about him said he wasn't.
A few seconds later voices came echoing closer. Tarah began to shake. Two people showed up. One was carrying keys. He started to unlock Mercy's ceil when a man came running down and said,
"Quick there is an emergency upstairs. You are needed at once. I will take care of them." The two men left. Then the man turned to Wayne and said,
" Hey Wayne. Sorry it took me a little bit to get here."
"It's fine," said Wayne.
"We just have one problem," said Liam,"He didn't get the keys to get us out of here."
"No need," the man replied,"I will melt them." Liam gave a slightly confused look.
" His elemental power is metal," said Wayne.
"Oh," said Liam.
"I am Randolph," said the man.
"Nice to meet you," said Tarah, Mercy, and Liam.
"And what might your names be?" asked Randolph.
"I am Tarah,"said Tarah.
"I am Mercy," said Mercy.
"And I am Liam," said Liam.
"It's nice to meet you as well, but we need to get all of you out of here," Randolph said. He put his hands on Wayne's ceil bars and melted them to were he could open them. Wayne stepped out. Randolph went to the other ceils doing the same thing. When everyone was out Mercy asked,

"So how are we going to get out of here?"
"That is a good question that I really don't have the answer to right now," said Randolph. Liam sighed. Randolph started thinking.
"Wait I have an idea," said Randolph. Randolph took some metal from the ceil bars and wrapped it around Tarah's wrists. He grabbed more metal and put it on Wayne's wrists then on Liam's. Randolph then took chains and tied it to everyone's wrists.
"Okay, now we will try to get out of here unnoticed, but we must hurry they will soon catch onto this plot and Mercy try to stay hidden," said Randolph. And it wasn't long before shouts and alarms started going off. Randolph quickly took them up the stairs and into a room.
"Okay we are changing my plan. Now we are going to just get out of here without being seen," said Randolph while taking off the chains and metal,"Use everything you can to hid behind."
"Wait are you saying we are going to slit up," said Tarah a little nervously.
"Yes. It's better if we all aren't together. Tarah and Liam will go together. Wayne, Mercy, you too come with me. We will figure out where to meet later,"said Randolph. They all nodded. Liam and Tarah walked one way. Randolph, Mercy, and Wayne went the other way.
"Do you even know how to get out of here?" Tarah asked.
"No," whispered Liam," but I am sure we will find a way out." They went down hall after hall still no sign of getting out.
"Where are we?" Tarah asked.
"I have no idea," said Liam confused,"we might be going in a circle." Just as he said that the door behind them started to close. Tarah quickly produced a tree root and shoot it through the door breaking it. Liam and Tarah quickly ran through trying not to get hit by the falling stone. They quickly took a left and found a door that said exit. As Liam opened the door, Tarah felt a sharp pain in her leg. She turned and saw a dart in her leg, but is wasn't just any ordinary dart, this dart had fire in it. Tarah could fell the fire flowing through her blood. She wanted to scream out in pain but held it in until they got away from the building. Tarah then fell on the ground and screamed out in pain. Liam turned and saw the dart.

"Why didn't you tell me you got shot with a dart," Liam said very concerned for Tarah. He quickly grabbed the dart and pulled it out. Tarah let out a loud moan. Now all the could do is wait for Wayne to get here and heal her.
Wayne, Randolph, and Mercy had been walking for awhile but Randolph said the exit was just up ahead. No one had spotted them so far but they were still being cautious. They reached a corner and we're about to turn it when Randolph pulled them back saying,
"What do you think your doing there are guards guarding that door."
"You failed to mention that," said Mercy.
"How are we going to get them away from the doors?" Wayne asked.
"Hm. We have water, metal, and fire. We could set them on fire, burst the water pipes, or find metal to tie them up in," suggested Randolph.
"I say we set them on fire then once we open the door Wayne can burst the water pipes," said Mercy.
"I agree," said Randolph.
"As do I," said Wayne. So they put there plan into action. Mercy set the men on fire and once they reached the doors and opened them Wayne bursted the pipes causing the fire to go out on the men. After getting a away from the building they heard a scream.
"That sounded like Tarah," said Mercy.
"Yes it did and by the sound of that scream she isn't okay," said Wayne.
"Then we must find them," said Randolph. So they took off in the direction of which they heard the scream.
As they came closer they saw Tarah laying on the ground moaning in pain.
"She got shot in the leg with a dart that had the fire element in it," said Liam to Wayne, "Can you help her?"
"I don't know but I will try. First we have to put out the fire raging inside her body," said Wayne. Wayne put his hand on Tarah's chest. Tarah could feel the water putting out the fire. Liam made a small storm cloud in which Wayne took all the water from the cloud and started pouring it into Tarah's mouth. Tarah's pain quickly went away and she began to regain her strength. After she finished the water she thanked Wayne and Liam.
"Well now that you are better Tarah, we should probably get out of here," said Randolph. Everyone nodded and started run away from the building.

The Orb Weaver Chronicles
"The Orb Weaver Chronicles contains several major and unique events that may or may not unknowingly intertwines with one another. The author of these chronicles is unknown, although some have hinted at the symbolism behind its name..." - Year unknown, location unknown 9 February 2022 Update: Welcome to the companion short story compilation of my novel trilogy The Shadow Paradigm. This compilation features prequels, sidequels and sequels to the novel's major plotline, as well as featuring a wide range of characters, new and recurring. Prior knowledge of the novel is not necessary as the Orb Weaver Chronicles' short stories are standalone. Once called The Arkesyyan Chronicles, I've deleted quite a few of its old stories. Due to the new avenue and revision, oriented toward more mystery and film-noir ambience, that I took my stories into, I've removed all aliens and overly sci-fi aspects of the whole TSP lineup, so I've updated the Orb Weaver Chronicles accordingly. I hope you enjoy them, and in time, a revised version will also be updated.
