Chapter-5 Breakout

Four days later on July 17, 1724 just like Old man smith predicted a storm hit the place a day ago, the strong winds flowed throughout the island, strong, violent winds which vigorously flew all around the place, the winds so strong that they could even blow the prison away, at the shore of the island huge tidal waves rise up and fell down at regular intervals while hitting land, trees and walls of the prison, it was impossible to predict that such a violet storm would hit the vicinity during the beautiful month of July, when people expect bright sunny dawn, nice flower scent spread in the air, chirping of beetles, but instead the all the people present here were listening the rage of the nature, the cruel sound of the storm tearing apart everything.

All the living beings weather they were receiving protection from a strong shelter or not, none of them were safe, the storm had already destroyed the forest canopy and now the prison cells had already started to get flooded, just after one day of continuous rainfall, the cells of prison were already full of water, the prisoners present were hugely affected by the storm their cells were filled with water to the point where there legs were half submerged into the water, just moving a muscle was getting hard, the foul smell of the contaminated water was completely another story, but these were least bit of worries for them, today was the day when they need to execute their plan, between the splashing sound of the water two guards completely unaware of the situation here walked.

“Oye, you shits show your faces.” –The guard, with words filled with insult and with even more insulting and humiliating tone and facial expressions the guards call the prisoner.

Arran and his mate who was present in the cell walked towards the bar of the cell, both of them were shirt less, the probable reason might be that in the storm their clothes might have got wet and now cannot be used for wearing, due to the risk of getting caught with some sort of disease or infection.

While the other guard was busy in taking attendance of the other cell, Arran made his move, he took his wet shirt and wrapped it around the neck of the guard, though it was hard to believe even after seeing but it was happening, how did he wrapped around his shirt across his neck when there were bars around was really a mystery.

The guard who was taking their attendance and Arran prison mate both ware equally surprised the guard who was unable to speak a thing because of the cloth choking his throat was stabbed by the Arran’s prison mate, he picked out a stone from his pocket and stabbed the guard on his forehead, the stone get right through his skull and he lost the most precious thing of all that movement, he fell on the floor producing a slashing sound, and just as planned the same sound was heard twice by all the prisoners.

Arran looked straight towards the cell opposite to his, where the same incident took place; the other guard was also floating in the muddy water which was slowly turning red.

After a formal exchange of the keys, all the prisoners were unlocked.

“Now, let’s move to the phase B” –Jack said to Arran, both the idiots had a hilarious smile on their face, and eyes filled with insanity, both of them were going to do something completely outrageous today, both of them proceeded towards the exit of the cells leaving others behind.

When both of them reached at the exit, they took their positions, both of them stood at some distance behind the door.

“So, now let’s get started.” –Arran

He slowly climbed the stairs, he tried to make as much as no voice, since the stairway was not completely submerged into the water, he was successful in reaching the entrance without making anyone outside notice him, he reached the door of the exit, and started to inspect the place outside with the small window present on the door with which he was able to see the entire place. He gave the signal to Jack to come up, jack slowly moved upstairs, the exact same way as Arran, swiftly and silently, and stood back Arran.

“There are four guards behind the door; I’m able to see the barrels of gunpowder completely soaked in water, it looks like old man was right, we can assume that they cannot use firearms of any type.”-Arran.

“What is the position of the guards?” –Jack

“There is one guard on each of the corner of the room; except the one who is guarding the door.” –Arran.

Both of them looked towards each other and shook their heads in agreement, Arran opened the door and moving as fast as a panther he strangled the guard standing behind the door, Arran had guard throat in his hand, he pushed the guard towards the edge of the wall, Jack who was right behind him, picked out the sword from the guard and in an instant he made the sword ran across the guard throat.

Upon witnessing the situation the other three guards rushed towards them while holding onto their swords, though they had guns with them, but they didn’t used them, either due to the fact that they were unable to use them because the gunpowder was not usable or they just followed their instinct.

Both jack and Arran reacted to their movement quickly, Arran dashed towards a guard holding onto his swords, the guard made a sword strike which Arran blocked with his hands, he bend his knees just a little, and got a hold of his hand, Arran then swiftly moved his hand forcing the guard to stab himself with his own hand.

While jack had a clash with the other two guards, but unfortunate for the guards they were no match for him, Jack first dashed towards them and when he was about to reach them, he made a slide, he slide for about 2 feet and stabbed on of the guard with his sword, the guard who were completely stunned on his move, they weren’t able to think probably which resulted in the death of one of the guard, while the other guard made an attempt to kill Jack, which jack blocked easily, he picked the sword from the hand of the guard whom he had killed and used it to block the attack of other guard, he tried to pull out the sword which had been piercing the abdomen of the guard but it seems the guard still had some fight left in him, he held the sword which had pierced his abdomen area, to restrict the jack movement, stunned jack who was watching the brave movements of the guards was so shocked that he wasn’t able to move, he was so cautious about the guard that his mind had turned blank he was only watching the bravery and unwavering will of the guard.

At the same time Jack was under attack by another guard, the guards were focused on a  single objective which they had to accomplish at all costs that was to stop the escapees at all cost, weather they die in the process or kill in the process, the guard had a clear aim at Jack’s had, there was nothing in between of the jack’s head and the sword which can possibly save him, expect something from the behind, before the sword can reach the jack’s throat, Arran approached the guard from behind and in an instant he made the guard hand and head both detach from his body, he raised the sword in the air and made a swing such that first the guards head and following it his hand got cutoff from his body.

“Oye, what kind of beast are you, cutting down people like that.” –Jack

“The same as your; monster.” –Arran

Both of them just had finished with clearing the path, sound of people approaching them started to ring in their ears, with sound of water slashing around, the footsteps of the people could be heard even more nearer than before.

A man entered the room following him a large group of prisoners also entered the small confined room, they all took the inspection of the room, where the corpse of multiple guards were lying all of them were looking at the corpse with the amazement, they were not able to believe that two men were able to take down four soldiers all on their own.

“You, both kids are much worse than I thought what were your parents teaching you.” –Old man smith

“Don’t break the sweat Old man, now since we know how capable they are we can proceed to next phase.” -Chris
