Ezra's Test

The team was separated during the fall with each individual fell into to their own floor, Ezra fell to the first floor of the building, he fell so hard he literally crashed the ground. He was lying dead flat until the dust settled and his black hair was covered with dust.

"Ouch" he cried out.

The first floor was the first floor built by those who attempted to reach for the heavens the flood was 156m wide and so dark, and pretty old. Ezra got up and dusted himself up and he stood in the center.

While he was standing there and not sure where to proceed to next, the tower's many doors, 16 to be specific. All were dark and hollow, then the first light on the wall lit the first door then proceeded to light the rest of the other doors, all of them.

Now Ezra was freaky out, he didn't understand any of this in his experience from watched movies like adventure and horror films he knew that nothing good comes out of these trap doors, a voice echoed from the shadows.

"Come along and I will show you the way" the gruffy mysterious voice said.

"No don't fall for his trap follow me" another one said but this was subtle and gentle.

One door's light lit brighter than the rest of the other doors, there was something or someone crying deep into that door. Then a woman's cry was echoing from that door, and a loud scratching like claws scratch the hard concrete walls.

That woman's cry got louder by each minute, then footsteps ascended like they were walking on water, not only that but there was another disturbing sound like someone was dragging something old because it's wheels were squeaking.

"Hello is anybody there?" Ezra asked.

But no one answered and the woman's cry got even louder indicating that they were closer now.

"Are you okay? Tell me where are you so I can come and help you out" Ezra asked again.

The light burnt even brighter than before in the water reflection there was someone coming out wearing one of those really old gowns, but Ezra didn't see that person's face he only saw the gown and black hair. The light finally burned out and it's holder loosen, then it fell into the water.

The other lights started to burn up faster like those sparkling star fireworks, the woman's cry was no longer echoing in the hallow door now water flowed in. Finally the woman came out the white gown she was wearing was long and long sleeved her hands had some lumps like they were going to pop any minute from now. She walking with a drip steel stand. Her long her long dry scruffy hair hid her face.

"Ma'am are you okay?" Ezra slowly coming closer to the woman.

"Why did you leave me all by myself sweetie? Why did you leave mommy all by herself?" The woman crying.

"Excuse me?" Ezra confused.

"Why did you leave mommy alone sweetie?" The woman's voice began to change.

"Did you lose someone? Should I help you find them?" Ezra asked.

The woman raised her head, her scruffy hair began to fall of the moment she started scratching herself, until all her hair was gone. And she faced down again.

"Why... did... you... leave... mommy... all... by... herself... sweetie" the woman's tone was now changing and becoming more violent.

"Lady I don't know you or what you are talking about" Ezra was now starting to feel uneasy.

The woman raised her bald head and looked right at Ezra, the woman's face was reddish and she had marks, like burnt marks but dry. To Ezra's surprise that was his mother.

"Mom?" Ezra getting emotional.

Ezra's mother sudden got pulled into the same water that she came with and went under, the water washed up to Ezra's feet and stopped exactly where his feet are. Then the water changed into black color, then Ezra's mother came out and dragged him and he went under.

Now Ezra was floating in what somehow seemed like a lake and his mother was now beautiful like before she got leprosy, her skin was beautiful, her beautiful brown eyes like Ezra's eyes. He must gotten them from her and her long scruffy hair was now wet black and beautiful. She smiled at him.

"Mom?" Ezra couldn't believe it.

He tried swimming to her but something kept pulling him back and not allowing him to continue forward, then his mother's body grew lumps that kept growing until she eventually exploded and the water turned blood red.

"Do you want your mother back?" A mysterious voice appeared on his left side.

"Don't mind him, whatever he's going to tell you is nothing but lies" another voice appeared on his right side.

"If you want your mother back just say so and I'll give you her back" the voice on the left said.

"At what cost?" Ezra asked.

"Oh it's nothing big really all you have to do is give up your spiritual gift to me, then you'll have your mother and lead a normal life" the voice on the left said.

"Do not believe him Ezra, he's saying all of those things to get to you. Because he's afraid of you" the voice on the right warned.

"Is that true?" He asked the voice on the left.

But the voice didn't respond.

"Then no I don't want too, I know that's not my mother but since you feel lonely keep her, I'm giving her to you as good gesture" said Ezra.

The voice came straight up to his face and took a form of a human water spirit with no face no nothing, but Ezra could sense and feel the intense evil coming from it. And it screamed and drove it's hand into Ezra's heart.

"Aah!" Ezra screamed in pain and fainted, when he woke up he was lying flat outside the maze with his teammates trying to wake him up.

"Give him some space" David ran to him.
