Chapter 12 - Inside of a jail

Edward then slowly begins to regain consciousness as he stares at the unfamiliar ceiling; where am I? He asked as he was on the floor with his legs and arms hurting from falling.

Just then, he felt something on his head, a soft pillow, perhaps two soft marshmallows, he thought as he tried to turn around to see, and it was Auryan with his short golden hair and a baseball cap on top.

He wore white strips in a dark blue shirt on top, with eyes of crimson pink his head turned around instead to find his head on top of Auryan's thighs supporting Edward's head.

"Oh, so you have finally awakened,"

"Y-Yeah, I think so, anyways are we?" Edward asked when he got off Auryan's bare legs and slowly stood up from his feet and tried to observe the unknown room they were in.

On the table is a small cake on a plate, surrounded by balloons, and the room appears to be a birthday celebration room.

Edward looks again from the small gap of a window that has the only souse of light shines through the bar window that gives light inside of the room, giving those inside a vision o to see.

The place looks like a jail, except for the cake on the table." Edward said as he walked around the cake, "Your right; this room is weird. First of all, it seems we are below the mansion."

Auryan said as she tried to tip toe through the window to see that they were underneath the mansion and saw grass in the backyard.

And then walks toward the birth cake and crouches at the table as he looks at the cake; they could tell it was fake because of the candle not going, Edward said as she tried to blow out the candle, but it's no use.

The metric door is locked, and it needed a passcode, "Don't tell me this is an escape room…." Auryan said, "It seems like it to me, so this is where we came from." Edward looks at the hole vent at the top of the ceiling; it is so big that an average human could fit in.

"Wh-What are you trying to do?" Auryan asked as he watched Edward grabs the table and put the birthdate cake down on the carpet, "I'm Improvising this, thank you, now then let's see if an escape from this, hey hold this for me for a second."

Edward said as he took off his jacket and thrown back to Auryan. he saw this and held his jacket; Auryan was able to tell the fragrance of the cloth with a mint scent and warmth, Auryan thought as he tried to sniff it.

*pop*

Then Auryan heard something break, "Hey! Edward, are you all right?" he quickly approached Edward to help him out, "Yeah, I'm all right."

Edward explains that he was trying to use the vet to climb back right up to escape but ended up failing because the inside of the vet was slippery.

"But still, are you all right? You broke the table." auryan said, "It's fine, am all right. I got no scratches ---"

Edward stopped as he felt something on his right hand. He picked it up to see what is it; what's a key doing here? Edward asked as he tilted his head.

"Looks like you got that when you drop when the balloons pop as you fell and destroyed the wooden table,"

"Am I that too heavy??"

"W-Well, I am not saying that you are heavy; look muscular…."

Auryan said as he looked at Edward from bottom to face; Edward has to stand out in fashion; he wore a dark grey sleeve shirt that had been cuffed onto his elbow, along with jeans without cuts on them.

He also wore leather shoes on his foot, which looked brand new and clean.

Auryan shooked his face trying to stop looking at him; Edward then slowly stood up and concluded that they were an escape room for the situation.

First, they both have to figure out what is the key for as they look around to find anything that has the possibility of unlocking anything with the key in Edward's hand.

Walking towards the crate in the corner of the room, they both stare at it.

Auryan opened the top of the crate they found a small purse bag with a lock on it; this made Auryan excited, and he asked Edward for the key.

And open the lock in the bag. Auryan opens it to find pieces of plastic brick Lego in different colors.

"Wait, look at those. Each Lego brick has a paper stick from behind." Edward points out that every Lego piece has a piece of paper stuck on them behind.

"Hohoho, so this a Lego puzzle, I see…."

"Whoa, they improved the toy; they can now stick together, unlike before." Curious, Edward plays with the Legos as he tries to stick them together and breaks them out, over and over again.

"All right, stop playing with that; we must escape from this jail-like room and quickly meet up with them."

"R-Right, of course, I wonder what they are doing right now,"

Edward mumbles as he gives the other piece back to Auryan; he then counties to stick and try to make a message out of it, and after a few minutes, Auryan can make a flat Lego wall and turn it around to find a message from the puzzle itself.

"Ugh, I don't get this riddle…."

"Let me check it out," Edward said as he looked beside auryan to see the riddle from the Lego puzzle,

And it reads.
