The chute slowly opened as I stood there fearing for my life and I pulled the ingredients from my pocket with shaking fingers before feeding them into the machine one by one as fast as I could.
The ipump powered up as the chute closed again, the sound of the engine churning and mixing everything together growing louder and making my mouth dry out as I began to back away from it.
The moment it started pumping again I had to fight the urge to whoop with excitement and satisfied the urge by jumping up and down and silently thanking the stars instead.
The sound of footsteps approaching cut my celebration short and I gasped as I darted away from the ipump and ran into the shadows beyond it with my heart thrashing against my ribs.
The distinctive buzz of static from a guards' radio came next and I pressed my back to the side of another machine and held my breath as the footsteps drew closer.
"Inmates causing unrest in the Mess Hall. All units stand by to respond if the situation worsens," Lyle's voice came over the speaker.
But the guard just snorted dismissively and kept walking, their footsteps drawing closer and closer to my hiding place as I was forced to hold my breath and pray to everything I'd ever believed in for help. Because if they found me here now, none of us were getting out of Darkmore Penitentiary.
I was down on level three by the Magic Compound, hiding in the shadows as I held a bunch of lemons in my arms. I'd planned on giving some to Rosalie and the rest of The Daring Anacondas, but I hadn't spotted them once the fight had broken out and I knew I needed to act fast. They’d be down in the library by now. I tossed most of them on the floor and pocketed two while I waited for footsteps to head this way, the quiet pressing in on my ears.
Come on, kitty kitty. Where are you my pretty?
A radio crackled and a male voice carried from it, but I wasn’t paying attention to what they said. A guard answered the call and I lowered down to the vent behind me, breathing in deep, sucking in that gas and hoping my wild girl had gotten to the Order Suppressant tank already. As the guard drew closer, I sucked in air through puckered lips, hurriedly trying to awaken the Incubus in me and regain my power.
I could feel it giving me what I needed and I swallowed a manic laugh as my beautiful, sexy ass Order was returned to me. Welcome back, honeypie.
Officer Rind stepped past me and I leapt out behind him like a ghost in the night, snatching his shock baton from his hip and whacking it over his head so hard that he crumpled at my feet. I grinned darkly as he groaned, whacking him again to make sure his lights were firmly out before lifting him by the arms and hurrying to drag him down the corridor, humming The Daring Anacondas theme tune I’d been working on as I went. The sound of more footfalls headed this way and I fell quiet, my humming dying mid-tune.
I was on a serious time limit now and for more reasons than one. So I had to get a move on if I was going to pull this off. My wild girl was relying on me and there was no way I’d let her down.
I continued the theme tune in my head to help me focus. Flash bang! It’s an anaconda in your face. Flash bang! They’re gonna break out from this place. Flash bang! There’s a snake up in the grass. Flash bang! It’s gonna bite ya in the ass.
I dragged Rind around the corner as more footsteps approached and orders were barked between them. I reached the guard's elevator, lifting up Rind’s hand and slamming it against the scanner, pinching him in the crook of his elbow and making him set off a few flickers of magic in his palm. It beeped as it opened and I hauled him inside, stripping off my jumpsuit as the doors closed and swapping my clothes for his.
When he lay at my feet with my jumpsuit scrunched up on his chest and a cock drawn on his face from the pen I’d found in his pocket, I shifted into Officer Cain and grinned darkly. I cupped my ass in my palms, squeezing his muscular buttocks
