Chapter 18: A Messy Escape

The guards began to grab the others, apprehending them with their hands. They haven’t gotten to me yet, meaning there was something that I could do. But what could I do? I didn’t have any powers like they did.

Well, I might as well give it a shot.

“Wait,” I yelled out loud, startling them. One guard paused in midair, frozen. The other stopped moving entirely. Both of them stood still and silent for a moment.

Demeitrus Rocke looked at him in confusion. “Do you want to ask for forgiveness for something?” he joked. “I think it’s too late to do anything really.”

“No, but you definitely won’t forgive me for this,” I said, as I swung my wand at one of his guards. My aim was perfect, hitting him square in the forehead. He fell backwards and hit the ground.

“Now that’s what I call magic,” Malachi said.

“Yeah,” I replied sarcastically, rubbing my hand. “Let’s get out of here while we still can.”

.....

We began to run away from them. Demeitrus looked at us quite impressed, as he went on his radio and spoke, “We got YMPA agents infiltrating the base, take them down while you still can.”

We ran through the halls of the base, trying to find an escape route. But there were halls that continued to reveal themselves through every door that was open. We had no idea which way to go.

“We should split up,” Malachi said.

“No, that’s a very bad idea,” September said. “We’re getting chased, so it’s probably not the best thing to do. Now let’s think, where would an exit be?”

I answered, “There has to be a way out of here, right? Well maybe, if we could just get past all of these doors, we’d find our way out. First we should go through the door on the right, then the next one on the left, and then the last one on the right.”

“Well that’s oddly specific,” Malachi said. “But what other choice do we have, let’s do it.”

I felt very good about that idea, although there was absolutely no logic behind it. I mean, I had no idea about the castle a single bit, but maybe it could work.

It was just a leap of faith.

We went in that exact order through the doors.

The first room was completely empty, and the next room had some tables and chairs, but nothing else, but the last one on the left was a huge ballroom. It had a stage with a podium, and a few rows of seats.

“Well, I don’t think that idea worked,” Malachi said. “In fact I think it just made things worse.”

And right at that moment, a bunch of guards stormed in the room from all doors at each corner. There were at least I’d say about three hundred guards against the five of us.

They all shouted, “Freeze!” and “Don’t move!”continuously before they all surrounded us with their wands.

“Uh, I think it just got worse,” Nikki muttered silently. I was frozen completely, not even sure of what I was trying or wanted to do. This was bad, bad, bad-super bad.

“Uh, anyone able to create a shield?” Malachi asked. “It would be greatly appreciated.”

No one answered a single thing, not even one word. But I saw Tisiah’s expression. He felt like he could do something, but he felt as if it wasn’t the best idea.

He caught eyes with me, and I knew that despair and hope was speaking through my eyes. And he sighed, slowly reaching for his utility belt.

He clicked the button and his wand popped out of the socket and he immediately grabbed it firmly in his hand. Suddenly, he began to cast a spell.

“Tisiah, no!” I screamed.

“What?” he asked, as he finished casting his spell. Suddenly, a wave of fire shot out of his wand, burning all of the guards that were surrounding us.

The ballroom was raging with orange flames that completely devoured the room.

“Well, I guess that works,” Malachi said. “But we need to get out of here quickly.” Everyone nodded in agreement, and we immediately began to speed towards the door.

Once we sped through the door, we saw that there was a hall with decorations of a garden, and it had a large fountain in the center of it.

“Uh, which one should we go through?” September asked. “We’re not exactly in the best position right now.”

“Ya think!” Malachi hissed. “We should take the right, because it may lead us somewhere, because the left looks like it may be the stairs.”

“All in agreement?” Nikki asked.

But then we began to hear footsteps-a lot of them-coming our way.

“I don’t think we have time to do that,” I said. “Let’s move.” We moved into the door and we quickly closed it before they could barge through. As we turned around, we gasped in awe of what we found.

No, it wasn’t outside. But it was something that could help us get outside.

There were a bunch of cars that were lined up in the room, that was closed in by a large door that was probably seventy feet wide, just so that each and every one of these cars could actually get out.

“Oh, yeah,” Malachi said, rubbing his hands in anticipation. “Let’s get into one of these.”

But then, we heard gunfire erupt behind the door. Bullets punctured the walls, and they flew through the area.

“Duck!” September shouted, and we all dove onto the ground.

Bullets ricocheted off the cars and began to make these *ting* sounds that continuously reverberated throughout the room.

I crawled through, trying to keep myself from getting shot by one of things-but dang, those bullets are fast! I hid behind an SUV, which managed to give me some good cover.

Maybe we should use this one.

I tried to get up and scout out the area for my team. But it was hard to, because they were busy hiding from the raging bullets.

“Hey guys!” I shouted, to get their attention. “In here!” I quickly opened the door and I dived inside of the car. Soon enough the others got up and began to speed towards the car too.

“Who’s driving?” Malachi asked.

“I am,” September said, which was surprising how quickly she volunteered. Once everyone got in, she fired up the car, and it roared to life.

She pushed hard on the pedal, and she broke through the garage door, creating a big hole that could fit two cars at the same time if both of them were coming out.

“Okay, let’s move, quick, before they start chasing us,” I said.

We sped off, and we saw that the base was completely engulfed in flames.

“I guess they aren’t going to be happy about that,” I said.

“For a fact,” Tisiah agreed. But then inside the fire, we heard engine noises that roared louder. Then suddenly, muscle cars and trucks sped through the fire and were in pursuit of us.

“Uh-oh,” Nikki said. “This is not good.” The muscle cars were super fast, like I mean, almost lightspeed if I do say so myself. They began to gain up behind us, moving lanes back and forth while trying to figure out our maneuvers. They were catching up to us pretty quickly.

“Hey, look over there, it’s a road sign,” Tisiah said.

“Yeah, what does it say?” I asked. Tisiah looked at it, squinting his eyes while trying to figure out what the sign said. “It says town up ahead.”

“We can go there once we get away from these TSA agents,” September said. Suddenly we felt one of the pursuers bump our car, and one of them tried to ram us from the side.

“Oof!” Malachi grunted as he took the hit.

“Shoot them!” September shouted, because she was too far away from her wand for it to be effective.
