Whispering "Psst... Tonight, when the moon kisses the sea. We swim, we flee."
Nods, eyes wide with determination "Alright, here's the plan. At midnight, when the guards are asleep...
Whispers urgently "Good. We'll meet at the hidden cove. Be there by 12:01 sharp. Bring food, water, and...
Nods, whispering quickly "Yes, maps. And tools to cut through the barbed wire. We can use my sewing kit..."
Whispers with relief "Thank god for the hacksaw. We'll also need some torches to navigate through the tunnels.
Gulps, whispering "Flares... great. We'll need those to avoid any underground creatures. This is our best shot at freedom."
I'll get the keys to the tunnel doors
Whispers, with a glimmer of hope "Keys... perfect! I know a trick to unlock the door. It's a loose screw on the lock; I noticed it last week."
let's practice our escape plan before nightfall
Nods, determined "Let's practice. We'll meet at the training grounds behind the castle."
As night falls, Fleming and the slaves meet at the training grounds to practice their escape plan. They find makeshift tunnels and test their skills, but unexpected obstacles arise
there's a broken fence here. let's go this way
Whispers urgently "Okay, follow Fleming. We'll go through the broken fence. Be careful; it might be unstable."
I lead us to the broken fence, using a stick to push through cautiously here. be quiet
Whispers, heart pounding "We're through... but look, there's a broken piece of glass. We'll need to be extra careful now."
I found a safe path. there's a small cave here
Excitedly whispers "A small cave? Perfect! Let's get in there and rest for a bit. It'll give us time to plan our next move."
there's a stream here. clean water
Whispers with relief "Clean water... thank goodness! Let's fill up our containers. We'll need it for our journey ahead."
we'll rest here until midnight
Whispers, looking around cautiously "This cave is perfect for hiding. We'll gather sticks and make a fire to keep warm. Stay quiet; I hear footsteps approaching."
I cover the entrance with rocks and branches let's make it look like a bear had gone through.
Quickly gathers sticks and leaves, whispering "Fleming, I'll start the fire. You cover the entrance. We need this to look abandoned."
I grab a large rock and create a pile of tracks near the entrance done. now let's eat and get some rest
Whispers, handing out food "Alright, everyone, let's eat quickly and quietly. We can't afford to draw attention."
I look outside and notice the guards are changing shifts. I signal to the group to get ready. it's time
Whispers urgently "Everyone, stay silent. We're going to make our move now. Remember the plan."
I slowly open the door and sneak outside follow me. stay low
Whispers, moving stealthily behind Fleming "I see the guard... he's distracted by his flashlight. Now's our chance."
I pull out a small pouch of sleep powder and sprinkle it onto the guards cloak he's out cold
Whispers with urgency "Fleming, he's unconscious! Now we need to move quickly before anyone notices. Follow the path we scouted earlier."
I lead the group to the path I had discovered here. there's a mountain range not far from here
Whispers, determined "Mountain range... perfect! We'll hide among the rocks and boulders. Stay low and follow Fleming's lead."
I lead them to a hidden cave inside the mountain range this is our stop for the night. there's a natural spring here
Whispers with relief "Thank goodness! A natural spring... we'll refill our containers here. This place should be safe for the night."
I gather dry wood and plants to make a temporary shelter we'll leave by morning
Whispers, working quickly "Fleming, I'll gather some moss to use as bedding. The rest of you, start arranging the rocks to make a barrier."
I wake up at dawn and quietly wake the others it's time to move. we need to reach the coast
Whispers urgently "Fleming, I've spotted a coastline over that ridge. We need to get there before noon. Are we ready?"
