Luckily, this time it was actually a door but the worries were whatever could be behind the door. The just concluded ordeal put almost everyones lives on a cliff hanger everyone was worried about how this one would turn out.
"Okay at least there is some lighting here unlike where we were" Sammy said happily turning on a switch
"I guess we should be happy"
"I don't think so guys, don't you think we've been walking a while and its been like we've not moved an inch...I mean everywhere seems so identical I noticed the walls, its actually made of hay but then its unexplainably hard" Francis said
" Okay? How many more weird stuffs are we gonna come across guys cause I find 'hard hay' a really scary thing" Huwa said worriedly
"Okay I have an idea...uhm these walls are actually short so imma climb it and see if I can get a clearer view" Francis said as he climbs up the wall
"I really want to visit Nigeria though these dudes are just distinctively strong-willed, or could it be what they eat?" Desa asked staring at Francis as he climbed the wall
"I'm as clueless as you are dear I mean it's really amazing" Sammy responded
"Holy Blood of the Israelites!!!! Guys we in a friggin MAZE!!! Something is racing towards us!!!!...RUN!!!!!" Francis screams as he jumps down joining the others.
They were on the run for about 49 minutes and still couldnt find a way out of the maze.
"Are we running in circles? This is so annoying!!! I cant keep up with this arrrgh!! I'm done this is all some sick bullshit and I ain't cut out for all these mish..."
"Shh!! What's that sound??" Francis said holding Huwa's mouth, as a loud growl suddenly filled the environment
Its coming from behind usI
"RUN!!!!" Sammy screamed as the deadly chase began
The dogs looked really ancient but their teeth were extremely long shooting out far apart from their lips
"Guys we...we need to find a way to lure these dogs away cause my Momma loves my legs I've been doing squats... it has to pay off" Francis said panting heavily
"Hahaha!! Francis you always find a way to make us have a good laugh even in the midst of danger, what exactly were you created from? Sometimes I wonder if comedy was implanted in your head when you were born or God used lightening to get it into you he-he wait!!!!! Yes!! I got it...get me the flare gun" Sammy said smiling so weirdly. He takes it waits for the dogs to approach then shoots it upwards far behind them as the dogs immediately chased after the light from the flare gun
"Aint I an inspiration to you bro?" Francis said as everyone burst into laughter
"Okay enough jokes lets find a way out of this friggin maze...shouldnt there be any clues in the book?" Huwa asked
"Well let's see...umm...Hahaha right!!! It's all in here I was literally dumb to not check the book from scratch" Sammy said chuckling
"OH!! I thought Francis was the dumb one I guess he has a partner now ha-ha”
"Seriously Desa not right now we have a lot in our hands" Sammy responded
"Are you trying to yell at me Sammy? Is it my fault y'all are too idle-minded to search the book? Who put you in charge in the first place?" Desa responded angrily
"Hey!! That's enough Desa I understand everyone is stressed but we shouldnt lash it out on ourselves, everyone is trying to help here" Francis said calmly trying to hold her hand but she shoved him off
"It's fine Francis you can read it out" Sammy said
"So our next obstacle should probably be something that crawls and I have no idea about this...I mean cockroaches crawl, right?"
"Christ!!!! Do you have jokes up your sleeves Francis?" Huwa said laughing hard
"Guys do you hear something?" Sammy said looking around
"Sounds like hissing to me it's definitely a cat meow!!!" Francis said mockingly
“Hahaha cats dont hiss they meow dummy, only snakes h...shit!! Snakes guys!!!" Huwa yells
"Okay guys keep calm!!" Sammy said trying to calm everybody down
"From the sounds alla dem things ah make, dem ah things gonna be BIG!! Hehhh!!!! It even got me speaking like a Jamaican... guys umm I think the best thing to do is we gotta check the kind of snake it is...SO EVERYONE SAY 10 INCHES AWAY FROM ME I'LL GIVE THE SIGNAL WHEN I SEE THE SNAKES" Francis said as he stepped forward awaiting the snakes
It took a few minutes before the snakes finally emerged they were pythons with greasy bodies, as soon as he saw the snakes he raced back towards them
"GUYS!!!! WE NEED TO CLIMB AND WALK FROM ON TOP THE WALLS!!!...THE SNAKES ARE PYTHONS THEY CANT CLIMB THE WALLS!!!" he said panting rigorously as he ran towards them assisting them to climb. They were right on time but the snakes were too late, so they went separate ways as they couldnt see anything to feed on.
"Francis how on Earth do you know about these things?" Huwa asked
"I'm from Nigeria, a lot happens there and I got to experience quite a lot my dear, and also Discovery World teaches and informs about all these stuffs snakes, and other animals too" he replied as he winks.
They walked on from the top of the walls for 25 minutes and then decided to come down and take a rest.
"Does anyone have any more water!! I'm getting dehydrated guys" Huwa said as she laid face down on the floor
"Here you go, that's the last of mine I hope it can get you going?" Sammy said as he gives her his bottle of water
"Thanks Sammy that's really sweet of you" Huwa replied as she stared into his eyes
"Can y'all take your lovey-dovey stuff away from here I'm trying to clear my head" Desa yells
"He-he I guess someones getting a bit jealous here" Francis whispered chuckling
"What'd you say Francis?" She responded standing up angrily
"Desa calm down!! Just be calm for heavens sakes we are all in this together damnit!!" Huwa screams as she breaks down in tears
"It's okay babe we will get out of this okay? Sammy could yo...SAMMY? SAMMY?" Francis said as he looked around for Sammy
"SAMMY!!! SAMMY!!!" Huwa yelled
"Guys where'd Sammy go? I cant find him I've looked around I can't find him SAMMYYYYYYYY!! Francis said placing his hands on his head
The walls suddenly started closing in as a door emerged inches away from them.
"There's a door let's get out of here guys!!!!" Desa screamed as they all ran dragging Francis who was persistent on staying to find Sammy
"Sammy!!" Francis yelled as he sobs immediately they got into the door and it shut.
"This is all my fault, I got him angry and he probably ran off and got eaten by the dogs or bitten by the snakes, or even crushed by the door...I"
"Relax Desa he's going to be fine, we'll find him" Francis said as he held Desa who had already broken down in tears.
