Chapter Five

THE LAST NIGHT

[A/N] I know, I know, I took forever getting this one up. I just haven't been in the muse latley...my apologies!


The sun was setting, and its last rays streamed in the prison window like transparent gold. Zoe and Jon both setaled down on the straw provided for a bed quietly, both wondering what Becky's idea was.
"I do hope we can get out of here" Zoe said softly.
"don't worry" Jon assured her, "y' know Becky, she kin always come up with somethin'" Zoe smiled.
"Good point. We can count on Becky."
"She always got a plan." he said, almost to himself, as he put an arm around her. Almost unconsciously, they moved closter together as the last rays of the sun faded away. The world around them seemed to blur and fade away, as Jon's dark eyes seemed to get bigger, and bigger...

"Here they are" Becky said to herself as she lifted a peace of plywood by the trash heap. She tucked the metal daggers into a poket in her makeshift skirt and ran across the alleys to the prison window, guided by the last rays of the sun...

Just as the sun was setting, Becky reached the window. The last rays of the sun were enough illumination for her to see her two best friends, only about three inches away from each other. She grinned, moved in front of the window, and threw down a pebble. The two below jerked apart as if electrified. Their shocked and embarrassed eyes said only one thing: what did you see?. Becky's smirk was invisable to them, as the sun was at her back, but she said to herself: enough to know there's something going on with you two.
"so," Zoe said a little awkwardly, "what's this plan?"
"I found these earlier today" she said, lowering down the knives. "We can saw through the metal on the bars with them"
"Becky, the metal on this cell door is too hard, and besides, that sort of thing only works in bad adventure stories"

[A/N] You're not doing much for my credibility here, Zoe!
[Zoe] I call 'em as I see 'em, alright?

"No silly, on the window! The bars are soft enough, and I can help you up! I'll work on the top, but you should be able to reach the bottom ones." She explained.
So they began sawing away at the bars. They worked till the moon set, but just as they were taking out the last bars...

[A/N] Well, I know you're all desperate for a realy good adventure scene, but you'll have to wait for chapter seven. I'm putting all the important information that happened first right in the middle...muwahahaha! Oh yes, my friend Ivy is writhing a story too...I will get it up soon...it's called "The Last Princess" and the heroes, who are a boy/girl pair like mine, are related to Zoe because...nevermind. I'll just leave you hanging and get to work on my part of the story. This one should go up faster because my parents are getting me an alpha-smart soon, so my keyboard will be more portable.

{A/N] Actually, it looks like it'll be an e-mate insed. same diff, but the e-mate does graphics, so we may actually get some crummy/not-so-crummy computer art of Zoe, Jon, and Becky up!! And thus the masses rejoiced!
