Chapter 4 The Plan

Azie's POV

"Wait!" Kaliya said holding my wrist. I stared at her annoyed.

"What?"

"We still don't know your name. Why not introduced to us first?" I looked at her like she'd grown two heads. Seriously? In this kind of situation?

"Do I still need to do that?" I asked in irritation. The four just nodded.

"Of course dwarf. Para alam namin kung ano itatawag sayo. But, I would love if you want me to call you dwarf." I just throw Arius sharp looks who just smirked at me.

To nevro!

"Fine! I'm Amara Azrail Freyja. Call me Azie. Satisfied?" I said sassily. I saw how Kaliya stiffed for the moment.

"What?" She just cleared her throat.

"N-nothing."

Whatever.

"I'm Gifflet Monroe. This is Kaliya Thana, Dearil Sumter and the head master's- son, Arius Claeg." I just nod and glanced at Arius who's staring at me already. He freaking looks like a creep.

"You know if there are some underground passages here that'll take us outside?" He shook his head. Well, I just tried my luck.

"I don't remember." He shrugged.

"Okay, so before we start. Any questions or clarifications?" No one answered.

"If you have any ideas or plans that you know it'll help us, please say it."

I took the map from the picture frame. And started explaining and drawing lines from the map.

"So here it goes. We're on the third floor D.R. In order for us to get outta here, we need to make our way to the one and only window we have here and.... go here." I stop the marker and made a circle on its name.

"What's with the storage? It doesn't make any sense." Kaliya asked in confusion why we need to stop in the storage room.

"Let me finish talking first." I said abruptly and almost rolled my eyes at her. Ang sarap namang hampasin ng tabo ang babaeng 'to para magkaroon ng sense of humor.

"Sa storage room ang bagsak natin pagka labas natin dito. And para maka pasok sa storage room, dadaan tayo sa bintana ng storage room of course. We need to gather things that we can get or find there and make it to weapons. Let's hope we find one. After that, we'll crawl our way using this duct to land here..--" I pointed at the second floor's info/audio room.

I can say these ducts our school have really help us now in this terrible situation. Our ducts here can also access from fourth down to first floor and vice versa.

Luckily, we're on third floor and so it won't complicate us going to second floor.

"Audio room?" That's Dearil.

"-- yup, audio room." I said smirking.

"Why?"

"Why not audio room where we can have access to all the floors?"

"The CCTV?" I nod.

"And the audio speakers! So we're going to do that zombie tricks on movies? Like, capture them using sounds?" I hit Gifflet because of glee. Finally, someone speak with humor. He groaned. Oops! I might hit him hard.

"That's a bro code dude." He just hissed at me then smile.

"Exactly!" I giggle.

"Though, we still don't know whether it'll actually help, let's hope it does." I added.

"Got it. We need to attract them using speakers for us to escape." I smiled at Dearil.

Well, 'di naman pala mahirap maka gets ang mga kutong lupa na 'to.

"Yes. There were three hallways on second floor, one is for first floor stairs which is beside the audio room. We'll go inside and play some songs and see if they will really react on sounds through CCTV monitors of each floors to the school grounds..."

"..we need to gather them all for us to escape. But of course, since we came from storage room's duct, the only way we'll come out is the attic of the back stage of the music room dahil yun ang pinaka malapit sa audio room." Saad ko saka binilugan ang music room na ala theater ang laki.

"I'm afraid jan pa lang sa music room katapusan na natin." I rolled my eyes on Dearil's remark.

"Trust in ourselves is what we need right now, so Dearil please. I'd rather die trying than doing nothing." I can almost hear both annoyance and nervousness on Kaliya's voice. She's so right.

I just shook my head and decided to go on.

"All we need is to hurry up. If ever, never make any sound to avoid decreasing our strengths. Then, if we're lucky to do this things, syempre deretso tayo sa audio room and then do what we've plan. After that, next and maybe last stop is this one here." And I stop exactly at it's name.

"Parking lot?"

"Yes. Parking lot. We're gonna use school bus to get out from this place and look for help." I stated.
