Chapter 4

The night haunted Kevin as he sees a living person perish in agony. A silent but slow agonizing death is what he saw. Kevin his left eye start to twitch and tears start to fall from his eyes. He tried to hold it off but they continue to flow down.

Kevin: How are you up there ma and pa? I hope you two are well. I still can hold on for now.

Kevin didn't sleep but started to do basic exercises. Curl-ups, push-ups, and squats for the whole night some mildly awake start to watch Kevin. He was grinding his teeth hard as he endures the tension on his muscles.

He did take a few rounds of relaxation breathing in each rep but didn't stop until Kevin fully exerted his capacity. Lying on the cold hard ground some look at his determination but still having their sight dead set on the final day. Kevin saw a small creeping bug from the fence dividing it from the basecamp.

He smiles at this. Kevin descended to the pit hole after making sure of the direction before he started digging slowly.

Kevin: Let's see if I can't kill all of you here.

His first clamp of dirt was hard. He did it hit a basic finger thrust just three inches deep then push it down.

Kevin: Haaa…. It can also serve as training.

Kevin then lowered his posture like those in karate stance and pierce his fingers out. Then a muffled thud came as Kevin Writtle in pain. He met a stone persevering hard just to remove the clamp of dirt he pierces as he grinds his teeth hard.

He then kicked the dirt wall up removing some of it. He then did it as a routine. Once in a while he will hit a stone but endure the pain and start again and again. The old man saw what he is doing but he only shook his head in denial of hope.

The night deepens and the whole camp descended to total silence. Kevin slowly creep again at the edge of the hunting range of the soldiers.

'Run!! Runn!!! You can live for another day!! Don't be a hero! Run!! Like how you always do!!!'

Kevin started to make labored breathing as he stares at the vast forest behind the dark tunnel.

'Ruunnn!!! Running!!'

Suddenly a rustling came from behind Kevin snap out of his trace and see the dark silhouette of a thin man. Robert walks out of the dark edge of the tunnel with a hallow smile.

Robert: Go, if you can leave this place then we will all be glad. You don't owe us anything so live your life son…. You only have one chance better not regret it.

Kevin nodded at him. Dropping on the ground Kevin starts to slowly crawl like a lizard. It was hard at first but he already tried it with tension on. Creeping just at the edge of the tunnel before going behind the tree. He starts to map out the soldiers guarding the place.

'That's right!! Ruuunnnn!! Runnn!! You will see another day!! Runnnn!!'

Kevin started to make haggard breathing again as he tries to hardly maintain his focus. Suddenly one soldier seems to hear a noise from his direction. Kevin panicky lied down making the twig behind him snaps.

"Heyy!! Whose there!! Come out!!"

*Banging!! Banggg!!

Kevin dodge two bullets aimed behind the trees. He quickly climbs the tree from the blindspot of the soldier.

*Woooshhh!!

A blur came from the side lifting the soldier up to the ground and dragging him afar.

"Aahhhh!! Helpp!!"

*Crack!!

It was the last scream and noise before a moment of silence fills the forest then bursting to full-blown chaos. Kevin strain his eyes to make a full picture of what is happening the sheer speed of figures passing didn't seem to help him.

Kevin just lay in wait in the thick leaves of the tree. In few minutes, it stops with only wailings and groaning left behind by the ravaging attack from something unknown. Kevin jumps down and left the place but he stops once the place is nearly out of his sight.

'Leave!! Runnn!! Hide!!!'

Kevin breathes deeply before facing the concentration camp's direction.

Kevin: At least, give them some time to think…

He then returns to the concentration camp but didn't enter the tunnel. Instead, he enters the base camp sneaking quietly while searching for the food storage. Coming inside a room, Kevin was greeted by rows of bread. Quickly packing it all in his sachet that seems to have large space.
