Chapter 4 - The Escape

When I woke up I was still sore but I could move. So I went back to the kitchen and searched it thoroughly. I did find some bread that didn't have mold on it but only enough to last about 2 days. I had to find out how to escape before then. So I ate that days rations and got some more of the dirty water. After that I looked for a candle or lantern that I might be able to use as some light l. I did find a candle in what locked to be a research table. There was a candle already it and there was one next to it unlit. I took the unlit angle and used the lit one to light it. I did lock at some of the papers on the desk but I could not read them because I am illiterate only noble or those who are wealthy an a-ford to learn to read. He also had tones of elixirs all over his desk. I did not touch them out of fear of what they might do. So I just took the candle and locked for a way out. Eventually I found a stairway up but once I got to the top of the stairs there was a door but it was locked. So I went back down and thought were would one keep a key. My first thought was his research station so I went back to that room and locked in every possible drawer. Unfortunately it essentially there. So I searched in all the other rooms it didn't take long because there was only 4 the room he did experiments on me and we're I slept, were his research station was, the kitchen, and the room with the stairs. So I had know idea what to do. It got to the point I just put my had on the wall and fallowed it. Until one of the stones when in words just a mall bit but it was noticeable. I pushed the stone as far in as I could and the stone fell to the other side and then the stones next to it opened up like a door would. I when into the room but I had to search it quickly because my candle was almost out it had but 2 inches left. Although I said it was a room it was not it was a tunnel. So I ran and grabbed the bread I had left and Went down it. I know we're else to go so I said fuck it. As I went down this tunnel I realized it was going ever so slightly up. I walked down it for what had stemmed like hours before I decided to take a rest and sleep. When I woke up I felt a lot better than the days prior. So I continued on. I also noticed it was a tad bit brighter and it was not because of the candle it had gone bad almost as soon as I had started to go down this tunnel. A few hours after I noticed the light I reach a dead end but when I loo led up there was a hatch there was freedom. So I opened the hatch and I was in a forest. There were a few animal around but they soon ran off. So as locked around I found a good tree and started to sleep it was about noon when I went to sleep.
