Chapter 4 - Freedom?

"It's disgusting, his body is starting to smell."

To find the key to the main door, I had to go back to the room where I was previously locked and dig into the body of a lifeless man. It was important to find the key, even if the way was justified or not.

The man lying in the middle of the room had a massive figure when you saw him standing up, by the way, he must have been in his forties, the hands that had tortured the children here were full of wounds, some of those were so long as they went up to the neck.

What did he gain from what he did? Did he torture the children for fun, or to vent his anger? I don't know why I killed him. Even in the craziest dreams, I would never have imagined that I would kill a man with my own hands.

He didn't have the key.

Looking for a key now is a waste of time. The only thing left is to find another way.

"Haha, how did I not think of this before? Thank you very much, the person lying on the floor, even though I don't know where you put it, the key now is no longer needed."

The tools here will help me escape, but I can't use them alone, it will take me a long time. All I have to do now is ask for help from other children, they certainly don't seem to like the idea of ​​the door, since the key wasn't found, this idea will be more effective.

As soon as I got back, I heard voices from the main room.

"She had a collar around her neck, but it was different from ours."

"Maybe it comes from another place different from our market."

I didn't know that the collar impressed them so much, since they also have one, for them it should have been something normal.

They must have liked it. I will give it to you if you like it so much, but unfortunately, I can't take it off.

"It would be better to run away before she comes back, but the door is…"

Aha, I found out, the door must be some forbidden word for them, or maybe some kind of trauma. Anyway, I have another plan, since the door is a no-go. But I also am curious to know what makes that door so scary.

*Step… step… step*

"I believe you enjoyed the time you had to talk, but now start where you left off and tell me what is behind that door?"

"…"

Well, what did I expect, to them, I am a Rapha who can hardly wait to see their blood spilled on the floor. It wasn't that I was dying to know what was outside that door since I will not get out from there anyway.

"Sigh * I have a plan to get out of here, since you have so much time to talk and also the door is not an option, it would be better to help me with the plan I have in mind."

"…"

No one moved even a millimeter. Seriously will these kids try to ignore me now?

"Hmm very well, stay here and find your 'own' way out, I will not deal with people who ignore every word I say."

Let me see how smart you will be to find the way, as long as you don't move nor speak when I talk to you and give you a way out, then stay here in your grave, I will not come back and ask you for help even if it takes me a whole week, not a month to open that damn way out.

After leaving the room, I closed the wall door and went to the next room. In the corridor, there were places where various torture devices were placed hidden in the corners. Haa he seriously has been a psychopath, here you can put your whole hand just to get a device. And I don't even know which will I catch even if I see them.

"The biggest torture for the children here would have been, the thought of what equipment he would grab."

With my short arm, I can't grasp what I would like, but at least I pulled out devices that would work. A hammer and a saw were necessary.

It's terrifying, to think he used these to torture small children. The size of this hammer could crush the head of an adult in one blow. And the saw, on the other hand, let's not think about that.

After I got both of them, I headed towards the window. First I will use the saw to cut the railings, even if it didn't work and the saw can't cut the railings, at least it would make a cut, small enough to continue in the next step, the hammer. If I use the hammer first, the railings will not open, but will simply be distorted. My body is of a child so the force I will give to the hammer will not be big enough to break such thick railings.

Whichever one I use first, both will take me a long time. At least here I have the fresh air coming from the window because the smell of the body would make me faint.

All right, let's get started. First, let's take the saw and…

*

"Impossible, how long has it been since I was sawing the railings, it has not caused even a small crack. For what did he use this, to cut bread?"

*Sigh * ... this is hopeless I will not be able to make a cut even if I stay up all night sawing. Let's continue with the hammer, it will hit it with all my might, I don't care if it works or not. Here goes nothing, one, two, three…

*Bang*

*Huff* … *huff* … *huff*..fu was tiring but it was worth it, if I give it the same strength at least 2 or 3 strokes it will manage to open a place between the railings. All right here we go.

*Bang*... *huff* ... Again!

Bang, huff … huff i..it is not enough, one last time.

Bang, huff...ha.. finally haha.

As a result, a space was opened in the railing, that's enough to cross. Now that I would finally get out of this hut, where the smell of death was everywhere, it seemed as if my heart would come out of my chest from happiness.

"Goodbye hut. I know we didn't spend much time together but it would be better not to meet again, goodbye strange children who are afraid of doors and the body lying on the floor that I don't even know the name, but who cares anyway. "

I would finally get out, one foot after the other and then my whole body and so I got out of the hut. It was dawn outside, I don't know how long I had spent locked, but it seems to me that an eternity has passed since the last time I breathed in such clean air.

"*Sniff*...sigh! ... I'm finally out, haha ​​freedom. No slave market and no weird huts. From now on I will live my new life in freedom."

Hmm I'm free, but I can't wander around all the time, first I will need a house and a place to provide food, and farther from this forest the better, every time I see it, it's like that sucks my soul inside. Okay let's get out of here and find food as a start, some time has passed and I'm getting hungry.

I was walking in front of the hut, there was no tree on the horizon, surely it would have an exit right? At least it would be better than the dark forest. Walking I noticed that from the outside the hut looked totally dilapidated. Is this camouflage? Inside everything was fine, of course, if we remove the lifeless bodies and tools of torture.

I stopped walking when I arrived in front of the door of the hut, this was the part that the children were most afraid of, more than the torture they were getting inside, although I asked and several times I threatened them to tell me the reason, none of them said even a word till the end.

If you look around, you can't see even a scary thing, in front of me is an open field with the grass cut short.

I can say that the person who cut this grass has done a really good job.

Further away are some bushes surrounding the territory around the field and the forest is behind the hut. Why should they be so afraid?

Anyway, there must be a village behind those bushes, if I go there I will find food and shelter for a while.

"Okay, let 's start the journey."
