Through the eyes of the Dark phoenixes

Chapter twelve: Elizabeth and Eric’s escape.

“Arrhgh! This food is revolting!” Eric exclaimed after taking one bite of the bean soup. Elizabeth scrunched her nose. “Agreed! Man I can’t wait to get out of this prison! So what our plan?” Elizabeth whispered. “We escape and then go find Jack. He’s our only friend and we need to find him.” Eric said. Elizabeth nodded. “Solid plan. One problem though….how and when do we escape?” Eric grinned. “Simple. We’ll escape right now. All the guards except this one are on a lunch break. ” Eric replied. He strolled over to the gate and reached outside the bars and grabbed the guard on duty by the shoulder and slammed the guard in the bars of there cell repeatedly. The guard slumped over unconscious and Eric grabbed the key from him and unlocked their cell. “Aaand we’re out!” Eric said smugly. He handed the key to Elizabeth. “Hurry. We don’t have much time before the other guards come back.” He said. Elizabeth nodded and then rushed around unlocking cells quietly and quickly. Eric ran to the window and peered out. What luck!! A small empty sailboat sat on the dock. Eric grinned. “Come on Elizabeth!! Let’s go!! Leave the rest!” Eric shouted. Just then a bunch of soldiers appeared. “Hey! Get them! Their escaping….again.” A soldier shouted. Elizabeth ran as fast as she could and flew past Eric out the open window. (It was still not fixed from Jack breaking it.) Eric jumped out after her and the plunged into the cold water. Upstairs all was in chaos. Prisoners were escaping everywhere.

Eric and Elizabeth climbed aboard the tiny boat and began to row as fast as they could. “Now to find Jack…if he’s anywhere he’s probably on that tiny island a few miles from here. “Let’s go check it out.” Eric said. They began to row toward it.
