Stronger by Ang Chris

Chapter 116

Annette POV:

It took a while and I couldn’t work fast because the bed would freak and I had to be careful not to put any weight on the right side but eventually, I got the support joint off of it. It was hard enough and sharp enough that if I slammed it

into the small window I could break the glass.

After I did that I’d have to clear the remaining shards quickly before jumping. The jump still terrified me and I prayed to the goddess to guide me safely. I couldn’t remember if I should straighten my legs or if was I supposed to bend

them. Should I keep my arms out or in?

I waited that day quiet and calm I didn’t normally speak so it wasn’t alarming to any of them. Marcus had stopped visiting me a few days ago and I was beyond thankful. By the whispers, he and Marcus had fought.

I had replayed what would happen over and over in my mind for the past week. Each night going over the movements and the steps. My fingers slowly loosen the bolts on the bed as best my fingers could reach.

Tonight the small guards would be on duty and they always didn’t speak, their eyes pointed forward my water bowl was over by one of the guards so if I pretended to drop a towel I could swipe the silver syringes off of him.

When the two smaller skinnier men walked into the room my heart rate spiked for a couple of minutes it was getting closer. For some reason, I’d felt stronger and stronger every day I couldn’t explain it but it gave me the strength and courage to attempt this.

When I saw the moonlight filter in fully through my small window. I gulped before getting off of my bed and going over to the wash bowl pouring in some water and washing my face and then accidentally dropping the towel and spilling some water.

“Damn,” I whispered before kneeling down to pick it up.

I quickly bent down and kept my head pointed to the floor but my eyes went to the vials of poison. I moved as quickly as I could grabbing the small vials and gently pulling them out of the guard’s belt.

I wiped up the water with one hand keeping my breath even as I pulled my hand back. My wrist slightly grazed the silver bars and I gulped down the yelp. My wrist burned a bit but that was gonna have to fester.
