Moonlight In Chains (Trinity and Asher) novel Chapter 49

I wasn’t healing from Spencer’s attack, but I knew that it was because of the silver shackles on my wrists. I had to try and keep working on the wall with a busted up face.

It was already swelling and one of my eyes was starting to close but that didn’t stop me. I kept working on the chains in the wall and Lila was actually keeping a look out for me. She was letting me know if there was any movement near the entrance of the mine. We couldn’t see the entrance because it was around a bend, but she could hear if anyone was coming in to us. And luckily, I must have pissed Spencer off enough that he stayed the hell away.

We could see the glow of the sun starting to shine into the mine as morning had arrived, but that didn’t stop me. The light cut through the darkness in thin, golden streaks, making the damp walls glimmer slightly. There was a lot more noise outside now, as people who weren’t on guard duty began waking up, stretching, and moving about. I stopped briefly to listen carefully to the guards at the entrance, their voices low but alert as they swapped shifts. I noticed where the sun was striking the wall and, careful not to make a sound, I reached over and marked the spot with the screw, the metal scraping quietly against the stone.

To anyone that walked in it would just look like an ordinary mark in the wall that was made when this mine was active. But I knew what it was. It was me timing when the guards changed shift.

I waited until there were only two guards at the entrance and I started working on the chains

again.

Finally as I was just starting to think it was hopeless, i felt one of the chains pull towards me.

It wasn’t all the way out but I knew that I was actually making progress. I knew that this was working. I kept working on that one chain that had already come loose and I kept pulling at it

at the same time.

It wasn’t long before the sun disappeared and I finally had a little bit of hope. There was a loud thunderous clash of thunder outside, allowing me to work faster and louder as the rain started pouring down. Making the noise inside the cave unbearable.

But it was exactly what I needed. Even if our werewolf hearing was extra sensitive to the noise. I didn’t care. I started digging in further until I finally released one of the chains from the wall, meaning one of my hands was free.

I looked towards the entrance and I couldn’t see the guards coming in so I worked like crazy on the other chain.

I wasn’t going to stop. I had the chance now while it was thundering to try even harder to get

free. I had to push through the pain. The pain of losing Asher, the pain in my face, the pain of the silver chains on my wrists. The blood that was all over my face and wrists.

I ignored everything as I saw water dripping down the wall from the rain.

I started using it to soften the wall slightly. It was afterall, mostly dirt.

I then heard another thunderous noise, but it wasn’t thunder. It was coming from the other end of the coal mine and it didn’t sound too good at all.

My heart started pounding and I knew that it wasn’t good before I even saw it.

A flood of water came rushing around the bend in the tunnel. It was already roof high and as soon as it made it to the other girls, they were completely submerged under water.

As the flood water reached me I took one huge gulp of air before I was submerged. I grabbed the chain and placed my feet on the wall using all the strength I had to pull the chain out of

the wall.

But as soon as I did that I saw the wall crack. The crack went from my chain all the way to

the roof and across it.

I knew what was about to happen, but because it was moving towards the entrance, I had to swim further back into the tunnel and away from the entrance.

The roof finally started caving in and blocking us from getting out. But I was starting to have trouble breathing and the girls were still chained to the wall. But their chains were up higher

than mine.

I swam to the roof and since the cave in, the water had stopped rushing through at such a great speed so it had calmed down.

I don’t know where it came from but there was space between the roof and the water where I was able to get another gasp of air.

I quickly dove back down and I grabbed all the girls and got them to do the same thing. Luckily their chains were higher, because they were able to stay towards the roof of the mine and breath whatever air was there.

“What the f**k are we meant to do now?” Lila asked.
