Escape!! 2
675 Words
By the fourth day, Raine had already stopped acting like she was fully helpless.
The rope around her wrists was still there, but it was no longer tight the way it used to be.
She had slowly weakened it over time, without letting anyone notice.
And now, she was waiting.
That morning, the guard came as usual.
He didn’t say anything.
He only placed a piece of bread on the floor, like always.
Then he stood there for a second, watching her.
Raine didn’t move.
She kept her head down, pretending to be weak
After a few seconds, the guard turned away slightly, thinking she was still the same—broken, silent, and harmless.
That was what she needed.
When he stepped closer again, she dropped her body slightly, letting it look like she had lost strength completely.
Her head tilted forward.
There was no movement nor response.
The guard frowned.
He had seen her struggle before Sometimes she resisted, Sometimes she stayed quiet But now, she looked worse than usual.
He stepped closer and bent down.
“Tch… wake up,” he muttered, tapping her lightly.
Yet there was still response.
He tapped her again, harder this time.
Still nothing, thinking she had fallen to deep sleep due to tiredness
Still unsure he bent lower to check properly.
That was the moment Raine moved faster
Her already freed hands shifted sharply, and with all the strength she had been saving, she struck him at the side of his neck.
A precise point.
The guard froze for half a second.
Then his body gave out.
He collapsed to the floor unconscious.
Raine didn’t waste time.
Her breathing was heavy, but controlled.
She quickly dragged his body closer to the wall and out of the main view of the doorway.
Then she reached for his keys.
Her hands were still tied, but loose enough now to work with.
With difficulty, she unlocked the door.
It clicked open.
She stepped outside quietly.
The corridor was long and quiet.
Dim lights lined the walls.
She moved slowly at first, staying close to the edges, avoiding open spaces.
Her eyes kept scanning left and right.
Listening.
The facility was large, but not busy.
It felt abandoned in some areas—old equipment, empty rooms, scattered metal structures.
Too quiet for a place meant to hold someone.
Raine moved carefully through the corridors.
Each step was controlled.
Each turn calculated.
What she didn’t know was that cameras were watching her.
Hidden in corners.
Inside walls.
Every movement she made was being recorded.
But she didn’t see them.
And no alarm had gone off yet.
Because the people inside had become careless.
They underestimated her.
They thought she was still weak.
Still trapped.
At the end of a long corridor, she finally reached a large metal gate.
The exit.
Her fingers shook slightly as she used the keys.
Click.
The gate opened.
Cold night air hit her face immediately.
It was around 11 PM.
The outside world was darker than she expected.
The facility was surrounded by a wide yard filled with old junk—abandoned cars, broken machines, rusted metal scattered everywhere.
It looked like an abandoned industrial site.
Raine didn’t stop.
She started running.
Fast.
Her feet moved over gravel and dirt as she crossed the yard.
Her breathing became heavier, but she didn’t slow down.
Behind her, the facility remained silent.
Too silent.
She reached a tall wired fence.
Barbed sections at the top.
Without hesitation, she climbed.
Her hands hurt slightly from the ropes, but she pushed through.
Up.
Over.
Then down.
She landed on the other side.
For a brief moment, she stood still.
Breathing.
Listening.
Then she saw it.
Three cars ahead.
Their headlights turned on at once.
Bright light flooded her vision.
She raised her hand instinctively to block it.
But it was too late.
The light pinned her in place.
And in that moment—
She realized something very important.
She had not escaped, this time around she was in a big mess
