He had managed to do it. Cut the fence, book it. He ran through the field, not minding the wheat slapping him in the face as he did so. All he cared about was running.

The sounds of gunfire rang out behind him. He growled, forcing himself to run faster. He wasn't going back if he could help it. He would give his other eye if he thought it would help him escape. He could just barely see the border of the battle field, and a wave of relief washed over him. He was so close.

He had been so close. A single headshot had done him in, merely feet away from the border. If the headshot had missed, he would have escaped. But it didn't, so he didn't. The RED Sniper lowered his rifle, a grin spreading across his face.
"Ha, see if he tries that again, bloody idiot."

Demo sat up in the respawn room, gasping. He put a hand to his missing eye as it began to hurt, as it typically did when he respawned. Once he realized where he was, rage overcame him. He stood and slammed his hand down on the bench he had woken up on, letting out a scream. He kept hitting it until his knuckles bled, furious. He had been so close, but he had failed. He wasn't free. He never would be. The Scout, who had heard the commotion, ran into the room, grabbing his fist before he could hit the now splintered wood again.
"Hey hey hey! Calm down! What happened?!"
"I..I tried to get out...I was so...I WAS SO CLOSE!" He cried, sinking to his knees. He was normally a level-headed person. He normally didn't cry. Normally, he would smile and shake off the pain. Not this time. This was different. It almost felt personal, how they let him get so close to freedom. Scout sighed, rubbing his friends back in an attempt to comfort him.
"Hey, it's alright...we've all tried it at least seven times...you aren't breaking any new ground."
"I was-"
"-so close. I know...I know..." Scout stood, helping Demo stand himself.
"C'mon. Let's go get somethin' to eat and start makin' a new plan. Maybe Spy can help."
"...aye...that...that sounds like a good idea."
"We'll get closer next time."
"So, we'll actually make it?"
"we can only hope pal. We can only hope."
Oh dear

he was so close.
