Chapter 343: Prison Escape (II)

The night deepened even further, and the chilly air started to bite against their skin. Inez had no idea how long the two of them had run; they ran until their calves started to burn and their throats started to choke due to the lack of water in their systems. She didn’t even sweat this hard when she was training as an enforcer; though she never succeeded in becoming one, she did pass the tests with flying colours.

The two of them burst into the clearing of the forest that surrounded the dungeons, but just one step into the cold and biting forest, and Inez knew that there was something wrong. The forest was too thick and too dark, and there was a visible humming in the air. She caught Scarlet by her arm and pulled her behind a pillar just as the surveillance camera turned in their direction.

Scarlet was breathing hard. With her fingers digging into her arm, she whispered, "They will find out that we are missing very soon." Her voice was hoarse after running for so long. Her knuckles were white due to the force with which she was clenching her fingers. The restraints had brought her strength to that of a human, leaving her with barely any stamina to run for so long. Glaring at the shackles that were tied around her wrists, she snapped, "Fuck these bastards from the council. They didn’t even investigate whether we were behind the murder or not. They just brought us here."

"That must be because they don’t care who the murderer is," Inez rasped. With her back pressed against the wall, she tried to drink in as much air in her lungs as she could. Having spent her precious time with Dominic, Inez more or less understood the mentality of these people. They didn’t care if they were killing innocents as long as they had someone to blame. No wonder Dominic and the people in the council were so chummy. They were two peas in a pod.

Her legs were trembling, and she didn’t even have the strength to move, but when the surveillance camera changed direction, she still staggered up the slope to the east together with Scarlet. Her wrists were rubbed raw due to the restraints, her lungs were burning, and she really missed her shifter abilities at that moment. But something within her pushed her to move forward.
