1 Escape from the Tower of Heaven Part 1 (2/2)

”Don't you dare back talk at me, you worthless piece of shit!” The guard angrily exclaimed as he continued assaulting the poor man.

Ezra continued to watch the scene in fright as he began to shake in fear a little. The boy then felt his twin sisters arms wrapping his head to her chest, preventing him from continuing to watch the scene.

”Don't look, Ezra. Lets just go back to our cell, okay?”

Truthfully Erza was scared as well, but she was more afraid of what the guards would do to her brother. She had to act strong to make sure that her little brother won't mentally break.

Erza felt her twin brother nod on her chest as they walked away towards their cell.

.....

It was night time...

Currently, the twins were found inside a large cell with rocky walls along with a bunch of other people.

Ezra was found wrapping a roll of old and used bandages on a girl with short brown hair and brown eyes. Another noticeable thing is that the girls face had a slight resemblance to a kitten and she had cat ears.

”And done. There you go, Millianna.” Ezra said as finished wrapping the girls left leg.

Millianna gave a sniffle as she wiped away a small noticeable tears in her eyes and smiled at the boy, ”T-Thank you, Ez-kun.”

The girl had recently injured her leg by accident, and the guards wouldn't treat her and give any sort of bandages because they needed to 'save up supply and resources'.

Ezra nodded at the girl before turning to a scrawny young boy with black hair with black eyes, ”Wally, it's your turn now.”

The boy named Wally grunted as he held his injured shoulder in pain, he then approached the scarlet haired boy.

”Thanks a bunch, Ez. Dumb guards had me lifting those stupid heavy rocks all day.”

”Mmm, no problem. Now please stay still for moment.” Ezra said as he gave Wally a shy smile and began wrapping Wally's shoulder.

From the other side of the cell, Erza was currently with two other boys and an elderly old man. They watched the scene with Ezra helping Wally with his injury.

”Wally and Millianna must have had it rough today, huh?” Said a well-portioned young boy with brown hair and black eyes.

This was Simon.

Apparently Simon and his little sister grew up in the same village as Ezra and Erza did. They never really met each other back in the Rosemary Village, but it was a surprise that Simon lived in the same place as the twins.

Unfortunately when the village was attacked by the Zeref Cultists, both Simon and his sister were separated during that time around. He didn't know what happened to his sister, but he just hoped she was alright.

”But we can escape this place! I know we can!” Said a blonde haired young boy with dark green eyes and tanned skin.

”Sho, keep your voice down or they'll hear you!” Wally hissed quietly at the boy named Sho from across the other side of the cell.

Sho flinched slightly at his mistake and apologized, ”I-I'm sorry.”

The boy then felt a hand on top of his head as he looked up and saw a lean old man with pale skin. He has a long white hair, which goes midway down his back. Two strands of hair stand out from the rest and point outwards. His eyebrows are nearly as long as the hair on his head, reaching down past his chin. He has a thick grey beard, which extends down to his chest.

The old man smiled warmly at the blonde haired boy and said, ”It's alright, Sho-kun. Just make sure you don't speak too loudly, okay?”

Sho gave a small nod in confirmation, ”Okay, Rob-ojii-san.”

Rob gave the boy a reassuring smile and asked, ”Now tell me Sho-kun, are you certain that this plan of yours could work?”
