Chapter 67: Chapter67

#Chapter67

Suddenly I hear the vents shake and everyone starts whimpering trying to get under the thin sheets.

/"What is it?/" I ask and Aliza points to the vents and a second later it hits me when I turn to look and suck in a breath. Wolfsbane being pumped in the vents. I cough covering my mouth and Aliza offers a piece of her sheet to me. I cover my mouth and nose. My eyes burned and watered and my skin blistered and burned but it didn’t last long and the vents stopped shuddering and groaning. It wasn’t enough to kill anyone but enough to keep them weak. We needed to get out of here. I looked at the vents running along the roof and they were pretty big, big enough to crawl through but they were also pretty high up the roof.

I wait for my body to stop retching and hacking up on the wolfsbane. My breathing wheezed and burned each breath I took and I used the wall to push myself upright, staggering as I looked for a join in the vents and at the brackets.
