After a moment, Kasey used the sword from earlier to cut her legs free. Now she just had to finish untying her waist so she could go help Liam…
“Got it!” she exclaimed before practically falling out of the restraints. She hurried over to Liam and started to untie him, her hands shaking and her eyes unable to meet his gaze. “I’m sorry I got you into this mess…”
Liam cracked a crooked smile, "It wasn't your fault, sunshine. Please stop blaming yourself."
group
Kasey sighed shakily and finally looked up at him. She pressed a quick kiss to his forehead, the continued to untie him.
"It feels like my fault," she mumbled.
"It's not. It's Matt's fault." Kyle said, rubbing at his wrists as he walked up to Kasey to help her untie Liam.
"Yeah… what he said…"
group
Kasey finished untying one of his wrists and moved to work on the knot around his waist. “I want to kill him…” she muttered under her breath, her breathing shaky.
"Well, killing him is going to have to wait, Kasey, as if we don't get him to a hospital soon then he won't make it." Kyle sighed through his nose.
group
"I'm working on it, okay?" Kasey practically snapped, getting his waist untied. She dropped down to his feet and began to untie them next. "Liam… Stay awake for me, okay?"
Liam huffed a little, "I'm trying, sunshine, believe me."
group
"I know. I just… need to make sure you're still awake sometimes," Kasey murmured. A moment later, she untied his feet and stood. "Was that all of the ropes? C'mon, let's get out of here."
Kyle nodded, wrapping an arm around Liam's waist. He made sure to be careful as to not hurt him more. Liam was basically leaning all his weight onto the other male, "Let's be quick, Matt could come back at any second…" Kyle muttered.
group
Kasey nodded once, tearing her eyes off of Liam for a moment to look around the room. She spotted a door and gestured toward it. "Let's try this way. Hopefully it leads outside."
Kyle nodded, getting a better grip on Liam as the three headed towards the exist. The door opened up into a long corridor. One side looked like a dead end.
group
“Awesome… That’s just awesome…” Kasey muttered. “That looks like a dead end.”
Kyle nodded to the other side, "That way looks like a start."
group
Kasey hummed, nodding slowly. "Let's go, then. It's not like things can get any worse…"
"If you say stuff like that you'll jinx us." Kyle replied, starting off down the hall.
group
Kasey hummed in acknowledgment as she followed. As long as they weren't found, they would be fine. She had to believe that…
Luckily, no one came down the hallway. Kyle pushed open the door at the end with his foot, only to reveal a set of more corridors.
group
Kasey sighed and looked over at the guys. “I think we should go straight. That way we’re less likely to get lost if we have to backtrack.”
Kyle nodded and hummed his agreement, "The logical solution, good idea."
group
Kasey took a deep breath and continued down the hall. Hopefully, this time it would lead to a door, and preferably one that opened outside…
When the door opened up, it revealed a huge room, full of boxes and crates with different numbers and tags on each. But, at the end, was a huge door that opened up into the outdoor.
group
“Thank goodness,” Kasey breathed as they stepped into the room and she saw the door. They were so close, so close… Se just needed to keep her eyes and ears sharp just in case something else ended up being there. “Let’s hurry.”
Kyle nodded, looking left and right to make sure nobody was coming.
group
Running across a large, open space… What could go wrong, right? Well, as long as there were no “henchmen” looking around, they should be fine.
Kasey took a deep breath and started walking, her gaze continuously flicking from one side of the room to the other. What she would give to have Aspect’s heightened senses right now…
They got about halfway across the field before an arrow landed in front of Kasey. One man from a tower not to far away, was loading another arrow already.
group
Kasey’s widened eyes shot up in the direction the arrow had come from.
Crap, crap, crap! Of course. Of course they weren’t clear, yet. How had she thought they would be safe already?
She raised a hand facing the man, stones and pebbles flying toward him.
The man didn't have time to duck before the pebbles and rubble hit him, temporarily blinding him and giving the three a chance to escape.
group
"Let's go," Kasey hissed, glancing over at Kyle and Liam. "Can you carry him?"
Kyle nodded, picking Liam up bridal style while the latter grunted in pain, "Let's go."
