Chapter 22 - 22

Int. Eatery- Dungeon - Night

It's been days since Ally has been locked up. Mercy has come to see her

Ally: (her voice fading away) Water! Please give me some water

Mercy: It's good that you have learnt to use the word "please". Look at you so pitiful, didn't I tell you that you will regret it

Ally: Food, I am very hungry

Mercy: You surely are nearly dying, after all it's been a few days. Since I am a generous lady I will also release you and you will work for me as a waitress. Take this and eat

Ally: Thank you

Mercy: You are lucky because one of my girls died yesterday or else you would still be here cursing your fate. At least now you have learnt some manners, so I hope you won't bite the hand that feeds you ever again

Ally: I won't

Int. Palace- Kitchen - Night

Dawn and Leo's mom are slaves in the palace

Eve: All my life I never thought I'd be a servant

Mary: It's better than being dead or locked up somewhere without food or water

Eve: I am wondering where my husband is and how he is coping. Things were not good between us on that day. If I had known, I would have treated him better than have regrets. I am clueless whether my son is alive out there

Mary: I have faith in the heavens that they are doing fine wherever they are

Maid: (walks in) If I were you I'd forget about what is outside because we will all die in this palace. Nobody has ever made it out alive once you're in

Eve: Surely someone has. I believe that someone will come rescue us

Maid: Almost all of us here were born in this place and as long as I can tell, only a corpse ever leaves this place. Forget it, it's time to serve di to the king and prince

Eve: Isn't it too much, now we have to serve that demon with our own two hands? That is too much for me I would rather die

Mary: Gather yourself, if your son is out there alive and then you'd better stay alive for his sake

Maid: Just humbly serve his meals and you will survive. Let's go before he gets angry

They take the food towards the king's

King Lion: Did you increase the security as I had instructed you? I don't want to take chances in case someone tries to steal my weapons

Dan: Yes father. I have done everything they way you wanted me to. I am sure it will be impossible for anyone to try to steal anything

Ext. Mountain - Night

They have all gathered around. They are looking at the map

Captain: I am glad you managed to get this. Now we can plan our next move with this

Ella: Wait, I have found where some of our people are

Riley: Really?! It means there is still a chance for me to find my parents

Captain: You did great. Now we can all get reunited with our loved ones

Ella: (clears her throat) I was thinking that tomorrow we can go there to steal some weapons. What do you think

There is silence as everyone stares at her

Dawn: Melanie,give her some medicine. She is talking nonsense. Who wakes up and steals weapons without any plan

Captain: Let's hear what she has to say. Elaborate more

Ella: Every last day of the month they receive weapons that are kept in a secret room

Riley: If it's a secret room how do you know

Ella: Let's just say I have my own ways of finding the things that I want. Give me that map

She places it close to the candle. Leo quickly snatches it from her hand

Leo: Are you crazy! You are about to burn the map we risked our lives to acquire

Melanie: I think she is unto something. Let her do her thing

Ella: Thanks (she snatches it from his hands and does as before)

Girlie: What is that?

Ella: (smiles) Secret tunnels around the village

Wayne: You surely know too much

Ella: I know this place in and out except the king's palace. I have been here before

Girlie: Surely the place is not a place anymore can enter

Ella: You are right, there are guards everywhere. I was working on how to enter before they attacked us. Damn it!

Craig: Are you sure about the weapons?

Ella: I am positive. For this mission it will

be done by me, Riley, Melanie and Girlie

Captain: Not gonna happen. How can I send defenseless women

Melanie: What can a middle aged woman like me do besides slowing you down

Riley: Absolutely not! Let the men do it

Ella: No, they will get caught easily. Who will doubt defenseless girls like us? Being female will be our advantage, to the world we not capable of this act

Girlie: Surely someone will notice us. Weapons are not candy

Ella: I have that already covered don't worry

Riley: Excuse me, I am a lover not a fighter

Ella: All four of us have the skills for that. You surely can pick any lock. No lock in this world can stop you from getting what you want. Girlie can surely wreak havoc with her explosives which is the distraction we need

Girlie: That is supposed to be a secret

Ella: All four of us are trained in marshal art's. We know our ways around weapons

Leo: You suddenly look and sound like a different person

Ella: Times have changed we all can't be the same as before

Captain: You can all go and rest

The meeting comes to an end

Wayne: Today I bow down to her. She is very smart

Dawn: She has always been cunning and mischievous but I am glad to be on the same side as her. Having her will increase our chances of survival

Leo: I am shocked by these girls. Who'd have thought they are that capable
