Eternity Jar 5 **sorry my last one was so short... I promise I'll try to make this one more interesting!!** Was the guard dead? No... His chest rose and fell slowly. Sleeping? His glasses shaded his eyes, so I couldn't see if they were really closed. I tapped the cat-pack twice, code for "Be silent". Creeping up to the last wall before the entrance gate, I was silent myself. I practically crawled to the gate. It had a latch, an easy one, so I slowly and silently unhooked it, slid my thin body in, and closed it. Backing up, I could see that the guard hadn't felt a thing. Nice, Arcene, I thought to myself. I dashed to the exterior wall, looking for a way inside without going through the front door. Looking down, I saw a vent. Perfect. In every action movie/show I've seen, the characters had always climbed in the vent, and I decided I would be able to too. If I could get it open. I jiggled it a ton, but it wouldn't budge. Avel struggled in the pack, and I gave him the signal to come out. He stretched his back, arching it upwards like cats do. "Finally," he grumbled. "Help," I said so hopelessly that I asked a cat. Avel trotted up to the vent, pulled out a sharp claw, and stuck it in the screwdriver hole, and twisted. It looked like it hurt, but it worked, so I didn't complain. The vent cover fell out, and it turned out to be big enough for us both to fit in. We crawled inside. It was dark, except for the little strands of light coming through the cracks. **To be continued... **
