Break Out, Chapter 3

The princesses ran across the hall on Level 2. Sam called the other guards on his headset and said, “Guards, they’re on Level 2. Hurry and catch them.” Katelyn took the magic mirror and stated, “What’s the fastest way to get to Level 1?” The magic mirror said, “There’s an unguarded elevator straight ahead, but you have guards coming from all directions towards it. You better hurry.” Katelyn shut the magic mirror and put it in her pocket. Then she pushed the down button on the elevator, and the elevator’s doors opened. Then they all ran in, looked in front of them, and saw two guards named Max and Luke coming straight for them. Two other guards named Tyler and Tristian came at them from down the second hallway, and two guards named Paul and Jake ran to them from down the third hallway.

Max said, “They’re in the elevator.” Jake stated, “Get them.” Paul declared, “Princesses, stop.” The elevator doors started closing, and the guards hoped to catch them before they shut completely. Max said, “Princesses, stop.” Luke stated, “We mean it.” Heather said, “Shall we head down, sisters?” Ashley said, “Yes, we shall.” Katelyn said, “Indeed, we shall.” Then, the elevator shut before the guards made it, and the elevator started to lower the princesses down to Level 1. Jake called the guards on Level 1 on his headset, “Level 1 guards, they’re in the elevator. Make sure you’re waiting to capture them.”

Meanwhile, the princesses enjoyed the elevator music while waiting to arrive at Level 1. Finally, Katelyn said, “You do know that the guards will be waiting for us.” Ashley stated, “Hmm. I have an idea. Give me a boost.” Katelyn put her hands together and boosted Ashley up. Then Ashley opened the elevator hatch and helped her sisters into it. Then, they shut the hatch and rode on the top of the elevator for the rest of the way down to Level 1. Finally, Ashley said, “Sisters, we’re almost out of here.”

The guards on Level 1 jumped in front of the elevator door on Level 1, and when they heard it ding, they waited for it to open. Once it did, the guards looked inside and saw no one inside. Tim said, “Something tells me they can’t have gone far.” So Tim, Joe, and Sam started looking for the princesses. Katelyn opened the hatch at the top of the elevator and looked down out of it. Katelyn said, “They’re gone.” The princesses jumped down from the top of the elevator and got back into the elevator. Then they all ran out of the elevator, and Tim spotted them. Tim said, “There they go, after them.”

The princesses ran around the corner, and the guards chased them across the hall. Once they got to the end of the hall, they saw the drawbridge and the guards coming. Since they didn’t have time to make it to the drawbridge, the princesses hid behind a suit of armor and got up against the wall so the guards wouldn’t see them. The guards noticed the drawbridge was still up, so they figured the princesses still had to be inside the castle. Tim said, “Princesses, come out.” Even though they heard Tim, the princesses ignored him and stood their ground. Joe looked behind one of the suits of armor but didn’t see the princesses behind it. Then Tim looked behind another suit of armor but didn’t see the princesses behind it. Sam looked behind another suit of armor but didn’t see the princesses. Then Katelyn accidentally sneezed, and the guards heard her. The guards surrounded the suit of armor that they heard Katelyn sneeze behind and got ready to capture them. Joe said, “Come out, princesses.” Sam stated, “Yeah, give yourselves up.” The princesses then walked out from behind the suit of armor they were hiding behind and thought the guards had them. Katelyn said, “Now what?” Heather stated, “I, I don’t know.” Tim declared, “Back to the top of the tower, princesses.” Ashley used the magic mirror one last time and said, “Game over, magic mirror.” The magic mirror said, “Not it’s not. Look up!”

The princesses all looked up, saw a window above the drawbridge, and got an idea. Ashley said, “Are you two thinking what I’m thinking?” Joe stated, “We’re taking you back to the tower and sealing all exits this time.” Heather said, “Sisters, let’s do this.” Then, they all high-fived each other at the same time. Next, the princesses shouted, “Deploy rope slippers!” The princesses each took off one of their slippers, pushed a button on the bottom of them, and shot ropes up to the window from their heels. Heather waved goodbye and said, “See ya!” The magic mirror waved goodbye and stated, “Catch you later.” Then, the princesses reeled in their lines and got pulled up towards the window. Once they got up there, they jumped out the window, and the guards lowered the drawbridge to catch them. The princesses then shouted, “Deploy para-skirts!” Then, the princesses opened their skirts and used them as parachutes on their hips. Then they landed safely on the ground, and when the drawbridge landed, the guards ran after them. Once the princesses saw the guards, they ran out of the castle through the gates and shut them so the guards couldn’t follow them. The princesses then high-fived each other. Heather said, “Excellent work, sisters. Now, let’s get far, far away from here.” The princesses ran into the woods laughing, hoping to find another place to live and leaving the guards inside the gates.
