Jack's House
Ch.15: Escaping
Nyssa's POV:
I stuff a towel into a glass bottle and put lighter fluid on it while Zack squirts lighter fluid all over the closet that Rocket was in. Rocket uses the lighter and lights the towel in the bottle, setting it to glames. I throw the bottle into the closet and it catches on fire. We take off running to the entrance where the main gate was. All gates unlock when there is a fire.
We wait on our knees, waiting for the gate to unlock. There was guard in the room next to us. If we get caught its over.
The buzzer finally goes off and the gate unlocks. Oh my god. Its actually working. We carefully go through the gate and out the front door. The cool night wind hits my skin and I get goose bumps. We were all having chills. But the fact that we were outside for the longest time. It felt great.
We walk a little and notice there was a large group of men by their cars, right in front of the main gate.
"Shit. We're dead," Rocket mutters. We got everything. How did this not work. I look at Zack and Rocket, their eyes full of sadness. They been here longer then I have. They actually have homes to go back to. I'm a orphan. I have no one. They.... they deserve to be free over me.
I slowly stand up and Zack grabs my hand. "What are you doing Nyssa." "I'm gonna distract them." "What?" "I'll distract them, and you two will escape." "What! No. We're doing this together." I shake my head and step back from them, "you two are the ones who are destined to escape not me." I give Zack the key, "good luck out there."
I start to walk away when I feel Zack pull me back. He spins me around and kisses me. I been kissed before but it was nothing like this. I wanted to stay in his arms forever. I wanted to be with him forever. We slowly pull away from each other, "don't do it Nyssa. We'll wait." "I have to. Those men aren't leaving. By the time its clear, guards will be after us. Your chance to go is now." He kisses me agaig, he looked like he was about to cry. Rocket hugs me tightly, a real hug from Rocket.
"Promise we'll see you out there one day?" "I promise." A promise that will be broken but they have to go. I walk out first and the men spot me. They grin and whistle at me. One tall guy walks up to me, "well aren't you something special. Do you need any help?" I see Zack and Rocket run out of the gate, looking back at me.
"I said. Do you need help?" I look up at the guy and kick him hard in the balls. He groans and drops to his knees.

Zack's POV:
I watch Nyssa kick the guy in his balls and he drops to the ground. I wanted to run over when I saw them grab her. She didn't look afraid. She looked brave.
I watch them take Nyssa away back into hell what is called Sweet Remedy. I watch them take away the girl that I love.
Yes. I'm in love with Nyssa. And I never got a chance to tell her. I know she'll never escape again. Jack will be on her more then ever.
"Come on Zack." I look up at Clara, and look back at the building where I been since I was 18. Now 21. I didn't know anything besides this place. I was scared of the outside world. Will my family remember me? Do I have family still?
I don't know. But thats part of escaping in the life you been dreaming of.
