《Captured》Chapter 5 - Escape Plan
Advertisement
After a week of being by myself, the needle scars had fully healed, and I was bored out of my mind. After the incident with Dr. Emily a new nurse-in-training delivered me food. She was cute, cute like a little kitten not cute as in I was interested in her. She had long brown hair that she would ask for me to braid into a Duch V braid into a bun, and when you have a lot of free time and long hair, you start to pick up on some tricks. Big round glasses, and she was tan with light freckles. She just, reminded me of a cat, I don’t know why. Her name is Hanna and begged me to drop the “Doctor” and “Miss” since technically I was older than her.
I am currently sprawled out in the middle of the pure white cell, blinding myself by staring at the fluorescent light in the middle of the ceiling. The door hissed open, and she quickly walked in “I have something for you, from Atlas and Molly, pretend I’m doing a normal check-up.” she was whispering as she tried to help me up. When she was in front of me, blocking the window, she slipped a piece of paper into my pocket and continued with the check-up. “Read it when you know your alone,” she whispered again as she finished and left in quite a hurry.
Once I knew I was alone, I curled up into the corner and pulled the paper out, I squinted and tried to read the handwriting, “I need glasses,” I thought to myself as I sighed.
“Dear Bishop, me (Atlas) and Molly are planning an escape, if you get this message, it means Natalia has agreed to come with us. The plan is, I will leave first, the guards will be on high alert but, I bet new and improved you and Natalia can take them on. Protect Molly, ok? Please, I really care about her. I have marked out the way to get out on the bottom of this paper, Also Hanna is coming, she is really a witch and a shapeshifter, sent by a woman that goes by Joker who wants to burn this place to the ground.”

I raise an eyebrow, then get a moment of realization “She isn’t human!” I jump since I meant to say that in my head. I clear my throat and put the note back in my pocket, then stand up and knock on the glass “May I go to the restroom?” Someone on the other side knocked twice, which meant yes, if they didn’t want to verbally say it. I walked to the door and sighed, I heard it hiss open and was greeted by Hanna. “I will be accompanying you when you aren’t in the cell-” She glances at Natalia, Atlas, and Molly who were all trying to hide behind a corner. “-big brother?” she looks up and me and I smile “Sure, I’ll be your big brother.” I pat her head and step out the cell, the door automatically closing behind me.
Once I get to the bathroom Atlas comes in behind me, “Are you in?” he questions, I lean against the sinks and sigh, but a large smile grows across my face “Alright, I’m in, why did you all make Hanna call me big brother?” I look down at him. Atlas chuckles and messes with his hair “Oh that? It’s because she was always talking about how she doesn’t have a big brother and if she did, she wanted it to be someone like you.” I chucked and smiled “Thats adorable...” I sat up and patted his head “Well, when will you be leaving us?” I look down at his and place my hands in my pockets.
“Tomorrow,” He looks at the ground “Oh, Alright,” I nod “Then I guess, I’ve got some working out to do.” I chuckle as I go to exit the bathroom, I open the door and hold it open, Atlas walks out under my arm and when I walk out, I hit my head on the door frame. I groan and hear Atlas and Hanna laughing, “Y-You haven’t done that in a while!” Atlas tries to say through tears of laughter. I roll my eyes and walk out, then start heading to the training room.

Once I get there I lay on the bench and duck under the barbell, Atlas walks over and chuckles a bit “Guess Molly was just here, it's on 1 pound, she does that when she’s trying to impress someone.” he said in a slightly annoyed tone. I chuckle and tell him to give me the heaviest weights they got. That ends up being around seven tons. I give a weary sigh and go to lift it. Surprisingly it was fairly light, I wonder what they injected me with this go around at the lab... Anyway, I bench-press that for a good ten minutes and then put it back. Atlas was looking in astonishment at me and I laughed, “You look like a kid at the fair.” I say as I grab one of the many free towels near the door and start patting the sweat off me.
When me and Atlas got finished with our push-up competition, I won by 50, we headed over to the cafeteria to grab something to eat. Once we got there, I ordered two slabs of raw steaks and Atlas ordered his little tree salad. I rolled my eyes as I sat down with my tray “How do you eat that stuff, leaves are so... nasty,” I cringed when he stuck one in his mouth and chewed loudly, “Mmmmm, delicious leaves,” I gagged and stuck my tongue out. Then I picked up a slab of steak and bit into it. “And I’m the disgusting one? Over here with no table manners.” Atlas rolled his eyes as I chewed loudly in his face.
We both laughed and finished eating, once we put our trays into the tray return bin we walked into the lobby of the building. Atlas and I both sat down on a couch and messed with each other. A couple of creatures walked past us “Ew look, a gay couple.” My eyebrow twitched as I stood up “Nah man, I wouldn’t date my bro, maybe you and your toupee would though.” I smiled and stared down at them. One tried throwing a punch, but I moved out the way with ease, he threw another and once again, I moved.
He growled and turned into a wolf, the humans in the area scattered into the cell block, cafeteria, and training room. I turned into a wendigo and jumped on top of him, he tried throwing me off, but I dug my nails into him. Blood fell onto the floor as I held onto him, I got off his back and left my nails in his back, then slowly tore the fur off his back. His screeches hurt my ears, so I speed in front of him and tear his jaw off. I noticed he was about to choke on his own blood, so I grabbed his shoulder with one hand and plunged my other hand into his chest. I felt around for a bit, found the heart, and squeezed it.
The whole time I stared straight into his eyes and listened to the sweet sound of his blood pattering to the ground at my feet. I smile and start laughing “It sucks that you died so fast, I wish we could have played more!” I was hysterical as I plunge my hand into his stomach, pulling out his intestines and stomach. Next thing I knew I had been tased. I hadn’t noticed that guards had surrounded me, and now I was paralyzed again. I watched helplessly as the guards carried me to my cell and threw me in.
I hadn’t moved an inch, even when I was no longer paralyzed. I regained my sanity and listened to the alarm buzz, signaling us to go to sleep. I yawned and buried my head into the padded floor as I passed out from exhaustion.
