Chapter 14 - The Arrival

I was spacing out staring at the cell door, just letting my imagination go wild, about what Sid's comrades will end up doing when they get here,

I turn to Sid and notice that he is sniffing the air, confused, I ask myself.

"what is he doing now?"

He turns to me, smiles and says.

"they are not far from here."

I reply.

"how do you know?"

he answers.

"dont worry about it, just get ready to leave

when they get come get us."

I start getting suspicious, but for now if his comrades are coming then I have to take this opportunity to get out of here. we are sitting down, patiently waiting for something to happen, and in the silence we start hearing a bunch muffled commotion echoing throughout the cell hallway, Sid starts laughing and joyfully says.

"finally they are here."

we are interrupted by an angry roar, in the hallways, my ears start ringing violently, I immediately cover my ears, and then a guy wearing the clothes passaes by our cell, backing away and firing multiple wind blasts, and then a wolf that is twice the size of a human comes into view, but it doesnt look like any kind wolf, this thing is standing on its hind legs, it has arms that look very human, its fur is of a dark grey color, the iris color in his eyes are silver, the guy keep firing wind blasts at it but the wolf just deflects it with ease, and with a blink of an eye it lunges foward with great force, then I hear a loud crunching sound, and then a poud snap, the wolf returns to our cell, it has blood oozing from it mouth and some flesh stuck on its sharp teeth, snarling, then Sid looks at me and says.

"thats one of my comrades Klein."

i nervously ask Sid.

"what do you mean comrade?"

he replies.

"he is a werewolf."

i give Sid a worried look and nervously ask.

"does that mean youre a werewolf too?"

he gives me a serious look an nods, Sid looks at the werewolf and then says.

"Klein rip open that gate for us, and as for the kid dont kill him, he is with us."

The werewolf Klein grips tightly on the bars and with one pull the cell door is broken open.

I then ask Sid.

"Can you turn into a werewolf?"

he replies.

"not right now."

"why cant you turn right now?"

he replies.

"because my mana flow is being blocked and so i cant turn until the effect of the green liquid goes away."

Sid then looks at the werewolf Klein nods to him in approval as if telling him good job, he then turns to me and says.

"kid stay behind me and Klein, so we can leave this place."

I look around and see the other cells were still closed and had a bunch of other people locked up, i then say to Sid.

"we need to help these people get out."

he gives me a sigh of fustration and replies.

"fine but you are going to have to do it on your own I have to go find the others, but once your done, escape to the forest and we will come find you."

"thank you, we will see eachother later."

He nods, Sid and Klein then leave, I began to look for the keys, there is a key hook by the exit but the keys aren't hanging there, i say to myself.

"where else would they put the keys."

I stare down the hall and see the mangled body of the guy that Klein attacked, i groan then think to myself.

"It might be on the dead guy."

I head towards the body, I see a huge chunk was ripped off from his shoulder, with blood still pouring out into a huge puddle of blood, and his head twisted all the way around, this sight of more gruesome then what i did to the hobgoblin, my gag reflexes finally reacts to the sight, and i threw up, I then quickly search through every pocket and finally find the key, i then think to myself.

"hopefully this is the last gruesome thing i see."

I quickly start unlocking open the cells and im greeted with appreciation and with tearful hugs,

i tell all them

"Get out of here and dont look back."

they all disappear through the exit, i stay back and double check each cell just to make sure i didnt miss anyone, I sigh in relief and say to myself.

"finally, time to leave."

i make a quick dash to the exit, i then see that there is a stair case that goes up and down, as im about to head downstairs, someone climbs up, stops,stares me down and then shouts in anger.

"oh you're still here huh you little shit!"

i think to myself.

"shit its the same guy that tried to inject me and I knocked out."

I got no choice but to run upstairs.
