I lift my head when Remus and Deceit walk away. I can hear them talking, but I can't register what they are saying and I really don't care. Maybe they'll come for me, I think. No they won't they hate you, they dispise you. They never liked you, that was an act. A single tear starts to fall down my cheek , I try to wipe it away but my hands are still chained to the wall . I pull hard on the chains willing them to break. After several minutes I give up and stop struggling . More tears start to creep down my face. I didn't even notice anyone came in.
"Don't cry...." Deceit said as he walked in, he shushed me, placing his finger on my lip. He walked around me with the seductive aura. "Why do you care!" I say half yelling and holding back more tears. "I don't, I just need you to calm down so the venom works." Deceit turns around trying to hide his smile."W-what ?" I say while having yet again another panic attack. "You heard me right, I'll be back soon I need you to calm down." Deceit said this and sunk out and a sinister laugh filled the room.
After several minutes the room is silent. Remus will enter next and it will be much worse. I need to get out of here, but how? Think of what Logan would do, he has a fact for every topic. He probably said how to get out of a situation like this. I start to remember when Logan and I were at the table and he was explaing different ways to escape.

"When you are zip tied you move your hands back and fourth to loosen the tie." Logan said while adjusting his glasses ."Duct tape, you bring your hands in front of your body and pull your elbows violently past your ribs." How did he say to get out of chains? Ugh I'm such an idiot, I need to pay attention to Logan more. Logan's voice kept replaying in my head, "to get out of chains you......" After several seconds I rememeber ,"I remember now to get out of chains you need to dislocate your thumbs. I've never done that before ,but how hard could it be," I say with doubt showing.
I face my right thumb to the wall and start giving myself a small pep talk. " Come on you can do this , just hard enough to dislocate your thumb that's it." I take a deep breath and hit my hand up against the wall as hard as I can. I hear a pop and my hand falls to my side. I let it hang there for a second trying to hold back a sob." Oo-o k, the other h-hand ." I take another deep breath and after several seconds my other hand is free. I fall to the ground now noticing that the chains were the only thing helping me stand.
"They will be back soon, I need to hurry!" I get to my feet and remember the only way I can make it out is if I sink out, but I can't sink very far I'm too weak. I can maybe make it on the other side of the wall. "Ya, I just need to make it to the other side. I can do this."I am silent for a minute focusing on my breathing and closing my eyes "I can do this," I repeat over and over. I finally feel like I'm being pulled through the floor. I open my eyes and see I'm in a hallway. "I did it !" I say quietly. I start to walk down the hall when I hear someone."He's gone!" Remus yells. "Wow Remus, I didn't notice, what gave it away, was it the chains on the floor?" Deceit said with sarcasm. "He couldn't have gotten far, he is probably still down here somewhere," Deceit says with anger lacing his words. I start to run when I trip over something and let out a groan." Oh my gosh, what did I just do?" I say in my head. " I think we just found him,"Deceit says with a laugh while Remus joins in. Before they can catch me I get to my feet and start to run not caring how much pain I'm in ,I just know that I need to get back to my family.
