"Molly!?!" I was shocked, she came back for me. "How did you find me?"
"I told you I had a history with the masks. You should have figured I wouldn't leave you in their hands." She said this with pure and utter humor. I almost thought this was all a joke. Molly walked over to the guard and grabbed the key. I thought it would be so harder to open a cage in the future but apparently not. She then opened the door and helped me out.
It was very difficult getting out. Every movement I made hurt me in some way or another. It was all the burns I think. I scooted, feeling the skin on my lower body sting and peel. I winced, still scooting towards the end of the cage. Molly looked down at me like I was an idiot. "Hurry up, there are probably 50 masks on their way right now.
" I can't. I am so burned right now. Its like the most intense sun burn ever." Molly looked at me.
"Sun burn?" She asked. That must not exist anymore.
"Never mind. Help me out of here." I scooted again, and now I was on the edge of the cage. She grabbed me and hoisted me up. Then, like one of those army pictures you see in movies, she slung my arm over her shoulder and carried me out the door. That's when the sirens went off.
"WHOOP... WHOOP... WHOOP" They were loud, and I'm pretty sure the whole camp knew what was going on. One by one they all got out of the houses they were in and came outside. There were searchlights and I even saw something that looked kind of like a helicopter. It was large, but instead of having a rotor, it kind of was a levitating hunk of metal. A hovercraft.
"Oh shit." said Molly. "It's happening again." Molly looked at me, and I saw a look in her eyes I had never seen before. Pure fear. It looked as if she was about to simply toss me to the side and take off running. She said this instead. "We won't make it if I have to carry you the whole way. Either you simply suffer for a couple minutes and we both high tail it out of here. Or I put you somewhere and come back for you later."
I looked at her. She looked at me. We both had the same idea. This would have to be quick. "Let me go." I said. She did. I took placing of my feet and stood. My whole body felt like it would simply fall into ashes any second now. I took off running. Each step I took was on hot coals as I sprinted towards a giant gate I could see in the distance. I had a nice 200 feet to go.
I looked behind me, I don't know whether Molly was still in shock from me taking off or just couldn't catch up to me, but she was way back. I ran for a ladder I could see in the distance. By that time the spotlight had seen me, the hovercraft was coming after me, and I was booking it faster than ever. I got to the ladder and looked up. I had a 30 step climb until I got to a stairwell that led to the top of the wall. I climbed it. I flew up the ladder, scared as I saw the hovercraft had caught up to me, people sitting on the side with what looked like guns pointed at me. I didn't care, I climbed. One I got to the top, the shooting started. I ducked, not seeing any bullets go past me. In fact, no bullet holes near me either. I looked again at the shooters in the hovercraft weren't aiming at me at all. They were shooting at Molly. A team jumped out of the hovercraft, sliding down a rope like an SOG soldier. They then surrounded her, and tackled her. She was then taken. I didn't know what to do, so I ran. I went up the stairwell and ran. When I got to the top of the wall I kept going. I got to another ladder and I went down it towards the Retreat's floor. I then ran, again as fast as I could away from the Society of Masks base. I left Molly behind.
