4 The Labyrinth

And then we all were divided into 2 groups but on the 62nd floor on different sides. Now it was off to the others on their part of the maze. This maze was exactly like the other but way bigger than the earlier one it had narrowed way.

It all began when the elevator stopped on the floor Hassan got out of the elevator, at that moment everyone felt it was Hassan's time to shine again like how he took out the Dent, "Absolutely Randomly", as it seemed like that but after he got out of the elevator he just fainted on the ground. George went out immediately to his aid.

Sarah told George," That is not the way your gonna wake him up ! ".

After that George moved away as Sarah went ahead to wake him up. She slapped his face hard that we could hear it echoing through the walls. That method of Sarah truly worked on him. Hassan woke up in a jolt, screaming at his highest.

Hassan shouted," Why did you slap me that hard?!? ".

Sarah replied," Duh ! Idiot, you just fainted and we were in the middle of saving our lives together through this.... So you should be thanking me for helping you ".

Hassan was shocked for a moment then replied," Thank You Then ! ".

After that, they started to keep on moving till they came across two routes, one on the left side of them and the other in Infront of them.

Hassan started to stare at everyone and told," Guys don't you think we should not be dividing into smaller groups, so we can stay as a bigger one straightway ahead... Because I feel like it is going to be a dead-end ahead on the left route ".

While on their way Hassan didn't look well as he was putting his head down while walking and sniffing throughout lonely, till Sarah asked him," What are you so sad about all of the sudden ? ".

Hassan replied," Guys, I know you all believe me but truly I am a scary little wimp and that thing that I took out earlier was by complete luck and you all believed that I purposely did it...s...so I am sorry for that and I can't take it anymore ".

We all weren't so surprised at what he had told to us but George went forward to confront him, George told, " We all to be honestly understood that earlier but kept our mouths shut to stay strong as a team like we did in the basketball match against them except the part regarding how the other teams were killed in front of us and also we are doing this for Alexa and her Younger Brother to make them feel strong around us, so you don't worry about it we all will go through this together no matter what ! ".

Sarah, Diana and the others were all heartfelt about what George had told to him. For a moment, they all felt they were safe when George is with them. Till they all heard a roar ahead and behind them, They all understood the sound as The Dent. All of them stood brave but not George as he fainted in the middle of them all to take cover.

At that moment, they all saw Benjamin react to a situation for the first time, he had a pistol and went behind when he saw a Dent and shoot continuously at his neck till the Dent was hurt and it worked as he shot it right at its gills and shot again to make sure it was down.

They all were shocked but knew they had to take out the other one ahead of them. The one ahead came but was not like the other one which Benjamin had taken down as this one had wings and was flying. George just seeing it had fainted, Everyone realised that but to take it down before getting into his matter.

Benjamin told, " Everyone! aim for its gills on the side of its neck, it will be killed only through there ! ".

Hearing that everyone started shooting at it. But this Dent was a bit different from the others as it dodged some of the bullets even an eye.

Even though the Dent got through some of the bullets, it got caught at its neck as all of them shot at it, Eventually, it had fallen.

After that Benjamin started to mutter out his theory about the creature," That creature was different one which seemed exactly like without a wing. This one had wings and had a sense of echolocation and could detect the bullets headed its way, We all were lucky that there was only one of them!?! ".

The Others were completed shocked by Benjamin, As he was a quiet and nerdy type of boy and after that, they were confused about what to say and what to do.

Benjamin said," Why are you all just standing there come on we all have to move on ahead, So quickly let's go ! ".

They all stood behind Benjamin and Hassan who had taken down those things as they felt afraid of even looking at them. Sarah was keeping her "calm" face to make her look as if she was not worried a bit but deep inside she was crying out loud asking for help within her.

Diana felt weird after looking at Sarah because she looked as if she didn't care about anything that could happen. Diana asked," Hey ! Sarah, What happened to you, you look all different from us and you look like you are hiding something from us ".

At that moment, Sarah lowered her head and replied," Your right ! Why am I acting like this... It is because I... I am... ".

She lifted her head up and started crying then continued," I am really sorry that I am so scared ever since seeing one of those things, I had to stay strong or I would be like George !".

Since George had already fainted everyone understood that she had stayed strong to support us all to stay strong. Then they all hugged each other all together almost trying to squish each other, suddenly George woke up as he was in the middle of all of it. When George saw it, he was shocked but he felt good being hugged.

Meanwhile, Benjamin was at the frontline of the maze, he was not their part of the hugging but after seeing them all hug he was happy for a while, till he faced forward again at that moment he saw something odd. The odd thing was the creature had not died yet, he started to tremble and cry.

Benjamin was crying and said, " Guys ! I... I don't... know-how but... It... ! ".

At that moment all of them stared at him and looked at him crying with making a noise as they all saw Infront of them Benjamin's left hand cut off from his body as that creature eating it while it wrapped its middle-left tentacle around him and held his hand in its top-left tentacle.

After Hassan saw that, he looked like he had lost his senses and was about to go insane, so he shot it in right at its gills. The Dent died this time for sure, as it didn't move even a bit and also left Benjamin in its grip. Everyone just rushed to look whether Benjamin was either alive, unconscious or not.

When they all looked at Benjamin, everyone couldn't believe what just happened to him. He was breathing but he had lost his left hand and was unconscious, everyone was sad. After a while from the shock, Hassan looked at Sarah as she looked like she was dead from inside as she was crying while her mouth was wide open and she stood there staggered. Hassan had to speak up for all of them to move on with it.

Hassan said," Guys, I know that we all are sad but we can't let this guy who simply brought us here to have us die to win easily. So we all have to stay together protecting each other back no matter what, do you hear me! ".

They all felt relieved after seeing Hassan get their back, but still, Sarah looked like she had no life left in her. Diana looked at Sarah and knew that she was the one who is way more scared of this than them. Diana held unto Sarah's hand till she felt her touch. When Sarah does finally understand someone was holding onto her she just hugged Diana, she was crying and said, " I am sorry, for being such a Wimp, I... I can't take this any longer! ".

Diana hugged her back as she understood what she meant. After they hugged and moved for about 2 hours along the maze, then they stopped for a while to stop Benjamin's left side from bleeding since they couldn't cover his bleeding with their hand as it continued to bleed, So, using Hassan's T-Shirt bottom part ripped, they could roll it over Benjamin's neck to the left hand or of what was left of it. After a while Benjamin started to regain his consciousness while they started to move, Benjamin asked," Where am I and Why don't I feel well ? ".

After that they all stopped there to check on him at that point in time Benjamin had already realised that he had lost his left hand and had already started to cry, Hassan said," I am sorry but you should not be that disappointed because you could have been killed there if it weren't for us all ".

Benjamin didn't say a word back after that but just hugged Hassan so tightly while Benjamin was crying, Hassan also started to cry and hug him, looking at that everyone just hugged together and started to cry along.

After a moment they had to stop as they can't just stay there the whole time.

Suddenly their HGs beeped and Overseer said, " I love you all together having a moment all because of me, so I believe you all should be thanking me for that, therefore, In a way of you all like the school, I will help all of you a bit in this maze giving you an important hint. The path which you all are on is the right path and also this maze has two starting points, in which, one is the one which you all are on and the other starting point is where your other friends started from and the path which your in leads to the centre of them, which is connected with the path to the other starting point but there are also extra routes on your route ahead to the centre of the maze. So, choose carefully ! ".

Then The Overseer just beeped off, They didn't say or move while the Overseer was speaking this time because this time they were really scared of him after what happened and listened to whatever he said. They went a little bit then came across a Dent which was killed right away by Benjamin with vengeance in his eyes, seeing that everyone gaped in awe as it just ended in just a few seconds. Even after it was dead Benjamin kept on shooting at it till he fell due to the power of the pistol bullets he fired rapidly, Benjamin was crying while he fell on the ground and started to wipe off his tears and tried to stand up without anyone's support but he couldn't.

Hassan told," That is enough Benjamin ! I know it is hard but stop it, we have to also find the others too ! ".

After hearing that Benjamin dropped his gun and started saying," I am Sorry ! ", at least 20 times till a Havek was just behind him. John told," Benjamin come here now! ", Benjamin picked up his pistol then ran towards him, turned behind him and pulled the trigger and shot at the Havek's arm, It's arm fell off it but it got regenerated immediately and now started to run towards them.

Hassan got scared and shot at its intestine and it died. Now Hassan was freaked out and told," Let's just run and get to the centre already ! ".

When they went on ahead they did come across two routes and Hassan started to freak out more and cry. Diana said," Since we had to walk a lot to reach surely we are at the edge of the maze, So, we'll take the Left route ! ".

And again They came across another two routes, Hassan started to scream out aloud saying," Why me!!! ", Diana told, "We'll take the route on the left since it is straight ahead ".

And they finally reached the centre of the maze by taking a right turn after the straight route and they saw that We had already reached there before them. The centre of the maze had the space of a Great Hall. After I could clearly see they reached the centre I ran towards them and told them what they had gone through and I told them what we had gone through too.

I said," This maze almost trapped us because we had three routes to choose from and we were lucky enough to reach here safely, and James, Allan and I hadn't had to do anything as Rebecca took care of them all by herself !".

But After I heard about what happened to Benjamin, I was shocked and cried saying," The Overseer aimed for you, after all, We had a Group of Haveks but not even a single Dent in our path ! ".

Suddenly the HGs beeped and the Overseer said," You all did well and not as what I had excepted, I shouldn't have underestimated you all, I thought at least one of you would have killed the other to save yourself, but I was wrong. Oh well and I almost forgot to tell you! I was just joking about the traitor and just wanted to see who would kill the other out of vengeance and I also told you about the infected, right? Well, that is true there are two infected among you all with the virus. I have already been informed that there are three of you who have their HG changed colour from pink to purple already! but none of them is infected. And one last thing, the route from which the last group had come is where the Maze and I help you finish it! Yeah! Go on the straight route and then take your first left and that is the route, So, Best of the Maze is towards at the Last ! ".

And then it beeped off. Then we all finally gathered up together and are on the way to the end of this maze, We went into the route that they had come as Diana was directing us into it and then we came across a straight route after that we walked for while in the maze till we finally came across our first left route and then headed into it, to be honest, it was dark, empty and the maze had a very narrowed way than before when we went ahead we across two paths, we decided to divide and check out the other route.

So, Allan, James and Rebecca went on the route on the right while I went along with my friends, well, to be honest, I felt to cry as I left Allan with them but it turned out the Overseer was playing with us, literally, He was just kidding around here as we went ahead and again came across two-path at the time of thinking what to do, Allan, James and Rebecca came through the straight route and then we came to know the other two routes were headed to same routes but different sides, So, we again joined up to go on ahead at that moment, we realized that this time he was not kidding with us because a roar almost similar to a Lion but way louder.

As we went ahead slowly we saw a creature that had 4 legs whose body was almost similar to a Hyena but the size of a Lion had ears that of foxes, had nostrils and had no eyes. The creature started to crunch its teeth which were full canines to show anger and started to move slowly ahead towards us, it looked like it hadn't eaten for a long time as it was drooling a lot.

We started to slowly backwards now as it was headed for us, Rebecca came ahead shot below its jaw right at its throat and now started choking out blood as it died. After a while, even though we were clear of it had died we moved on ahead as if it never even existed.

Suddenly the HGs beeped and the Overseer said," How the Fuck did you know that you Bitch! anyway, Congratulations on completing one of my mazes out of my many. You will never get rest, but you will since you all will be off to the 61st floor which is a floor I made for you to rest, So will have a good night's rest for the rest of the maze, So Enjoy ! ".

As he told me it really was the end of the maze as the elevator was Infront of us was the wall literally, opened up. And then we were off to the 61st floor, the floor he says, he builds it for us...
