บท 54: Fight
After staring at the ceiling for what feels like hours, I feel my anger starting to grow. The chances of the others finding m e before the creepy dude's boss gets here is slim. Am I really just going to sit here and wait for my death? Or worse? Hell no...
I focus on the ring around my neck and slowly start using my powers. It slowly starts heating up making me cringe but it only fuels my anger. I lift my right hand up and grip the front of it with gritted teeth.
Screw this... I close my eyes and concentrate on only using the smallest amount of power as I try to bend the metal. Suddenly, I get an idea. I sit up straight as I think about being able to control all substances. Shouldn't I be able to control this??
When I tried to move it as metal, it burned so maybe it's not really metal. It's not like I can see it so I start blindly feeling the whole thing, trying to figure out what it's made of. Looking like an idiot, I crawl over to the metal bars and lean over until I can tap the band against it.
A weird noise can be heard but I can now rule out wood, stone, and glass. It's a type of metal but not the same metal as the bars. My mind races as I try to think of the different possibilities but when I think about copper, my eyes light up.
It would be the perfect conductor for energy making it easy to burn those who try to use their powers. My smile turns dark as I reach down and start ripping the bottom half of my shirt. I take the first half and wrap it around my neck to keep it from burning my skin before ripping up a few more pieces for my hands.
Copper is not very strong but it can carry heat very well. I grip the band and take a deep breath. Here goes nothing... I start pulling with just my own strength but it barely moves so I slowly but very carefully start using my powers.
It's moving! It really is copper!! As it moves, it continues to heat up. I grit my teeth and pull with everything I have as I try to ignore the burning pain that's bleeding through my shirt. When I feel it finally getting lose enough, I quickly stop and take a deep breath.
The copper quickly starts to cool and once I can touch it again, I pull the shirt pieces off and start working it up and over my head. It catches in a few places making me panic but after a few more wiggles, I slip the thing off!
I want to cry out with relief but I keep my voice down as I gently put the copper ring down. I stand up and look down at my ruined shirt with a helpless smile. At least I have a tank top on under it... I rip the rest off and walk over to the lock.
I use my powers to easily snap the lock off. I quickly catch it before it hits the ground and has the chance to make noise. I have no idea where I am and how much they can hear down here so it's best to be safe. I walk over to the only door and use the metal frame to lock the door from the inside.
I'm not about to walk out there and risk running into the creepy dude again or others. As I walk back to the cell, I pick up the lock and use my powers to quickly break it down into several small metal balls. I slip them into my pockets and walk over to the wall.
I have no idea where I am but I get the feeling I'm underground. As I place my hands against the wall, I try to feel for any clues but when I don't find any, I know I'm gonna have to go about this blind.
I use my powers to create a tunnel and quickly start crawling. I don't want to pop up right under them so I keep going straight until I'm at least a mile out. By now, I'm sweating, thirsty, tired, and in need of more air but I keep going.
I don't know if I'm actually a mile out or not but I go as far as I possibly can before going up. Everything is pitch black so I have to rely on feeling but when I finally start to see the first signs of light, I feel my excitement grow.
As soon as I get close enough, I collapse the tunnel behind me. I don't want others following me as I make my escape. As I finally break through, I take a deep breath of fresh air before pulling myself up and out of my hole.
I roll over onto my back and take several deep breaths before closing the hole up and making it look 'normal' so if someone comes to check later, they won't notice anything. I quickly pull myself up and look around to see that I'm in the woods somewhere.
I quickly look up to see the sun was just now rising. I grit my teeth as I realize just how close I just came to my own death. I try to find my barrings as I look around but when I fail to do so, I decide to just start moving in the opposite direction I just came from.
I pick up my pace and start moving as quickly as possible without making a lot of noise. It's a miracle they haven't found out I'm missing yet so I need to hurry. I need to take advantage of my headstart while I can.
As I'm heading through the woods, I hear the trees behind me starting to move! Oh no no no! I kick it up another gear and haul ass. I'm tired but I ignore it as I push myself to keep moving.
