Ch 1
I'm running. I'm running harder than I've ever run in my entire life. "Door 102" replays in my mind. As I ran, I scanned through the signs on the doors for room 102 when I heard someone screaming my name from not far behind, followed by footsteps. There had to be more than one person because of the sound of their footsteps. "s**t", I mumbled, breathing heavily as I started to sprint faster, trying to find a place to hide. I stopped running and quickly ran up to one of the doors. I opened it. It had a staircase and I opened it slightly, hoping this would distract them. Then I ran to another door and closed it shut behind me. I listen for footsteps when someone grabs my arm. I pulled them into a chokehold, covering their mouth with my other hand. I was still listening for footsteps when they bit down on my hand and I bit down on my bottom lip, trying not to make a sound. I pushed them onto the ground, grabbing both their hands and holding them behind their back. "Shh be quiet" I whispered to them. "Noah" they whispered through forced breaths. "May?" I said, quickly letting her go. "Yeah, where have you been? I gave the signal to you" she says, angrily. "I-'' I stuttered. I'm trying to explain when the door opens and four guards rush in holding both of us at gunpoint. I smiled and then I looked at May. "This is going to be fun", I mouthed to her and her smile grew wider. I was about to get the guy in front of me when she popped out from behind me. My smile drops. How?
