Game of deadly Decisions pt 2

I instantly went into a state of fear and confusion. Would the answer to that riddle have been so simple? Or was it going to be wrong either way? I looked up at the monster, they were staring right back at me with a huge toothy smile. "You can't kill me though, so what are you going to do with me?" I said starting to panic. "We will see to that once you've finished your two other lives Prince." It said then I appeared in the same spot from when I was moved the previous room. The monster was gone, I was a bit relived but then I remembered we still have to go get the keys for the the door. "What happened, he didn't even ask you anything," Lemon said walking up to me.

"What do you mean, I was put in a dark room where he asked me three riddles the  put me back here." "You both stood there for a minute then he left," Deleina said as she tried to break off the locks with her long knife. "We can talk about that later either way, we just need to find those keys," Deleina said, after her knife couldn't break the locks. We searched basically the whole maze, the explosive power covered the bottom of are shoes since it had gotten everywhere. three of the keys were no where to be found, looking under the debris, kicking up the power to see if it was there, nothing.

We encountered the warden only a few times but we were able to answer the questions or riddles correctly. Suddenly the lantern light flickered a few times but then went back to normal. "WATCH OUT," Deleina yelled moving out of the way. A sword had come out of no where and hit Lemon, slicing her clean in half. I didn't have time to move out of the way so I covered my face with my arms trying to see if I could duck. It didn't hit me, but it sounded like it hit metal and then bounced off. I looked down at lemon and her body was twisted and horribly deformed. I guess she's back at the start? Looking down at the map I saw that the yellow dot was blinking then it appeared at the exit.

"Let's go back to the exit Lemon is-" I couldn't speak all of a sudden, my body felt paralyzed. I dropped the phone and Lantern on the ground. "Harlequin?" Deleina said looking over at me. That's when I felt pain unlike any other time before. I couldn't breath, my whole body was in pure pain, like I was burning alive and being stung by a million wasps over and over again. Then I collapsed and blacked out. I was in the black room again from long ago but that's all I actually remember, after that I woke up. It was pitch black besides a small light coming from under a door. Someone was sitting next to me but I didn't know who. Deleina came, holding the lantern and the room lit up, the person who was next to me was Lemon.

I slowly sat up, my body was still hurting a bit. "Harlequin, you okay?" Lemon said looking over at me with a worried face. "Im- I'm okay.." It felt hard to talk properly. "Harlequin, we found a way to get the keys, but we need the warden and he won't show up anywhere." Deleina said holding out her hand to help me up. "We actually have four lives, once we die three times we get a key." I nodded and then Lemon showed me a light blue key. "We need to open the locks in a curtain order though, other wise we die," "Can't we use that instead of having to die by the-" "Attention all players, you have 30 minutes left to hunt down the warden, that is the only way to get all three keys and escape, that is the final warning." A loud female robot voice said over a speaker.

"Lemon, stay here, Harlequin we need to find him, Now." Deleina said and we both went out into the hallway, this time Deleina was leading. "How is it so hard to find someone literally with a damn tracker on them?!" I heard her mumble under her breath. Suddenly, the warden appeared out of no where. We stood there waiting for him to ask us a question or riddle or something. Then he randomly started laughing "Dearest apologies though it seems that you have 15 minutes left-" he was electrocuted for a few seconds by something. "Warden, the role in which you must ask near by players a question until all players end the game or loose all their lives," the loud speaker yelled.

"Guess that would mean to have to ask questions then no matter what," I said prepared to get the question. "Alright then," The warden said with a serious tone "Deleina, what is my real name?" "Hey wait, that's not fair, you never said your name before!" I yelled at the Warden. "How about this, Question of the question, What is your real name?" Deleina said. There was a small sound of electricity starting up, "My real name is-" "English," She said. "My real name is Claw," "Your real name is cloud." Deleina said after the warden. After a minute passed by Deleting fell to the floor becoming deformed and twisted.

"Harlequin, ㄅ∑ик∑∆Щ ㄅЯ∑ㄅи◊ ∑ｻ       ㄅ∆ｻ∑?" "Um, question of the question, what did you just say but in English?" I heard the same sound if electricity starting up again. "What is a monsters weakness," He said "C- kangaroos." I answered, making sure I didn't mess up. After a minute infect the same exact pain as before, then I fell to the ground and woke up back at the exit with Deleina and Lemon. "you alright?" lemon said sitting in the same spot looking over at me. I nodded and then slowly sat up.

"We gotta go in straight to attack, we need those keys Now." Deleina said standing in front of the entrance to the maze. I quickly got up and we started running, kicking up the powder all over the ground. We came across a small room, sitting there was a little box on a wooden table in the middle and a timer next to it saying 5 minutes left. We carefully opened the box and inside was the green and rusted keys. I noticed a note on the side saying "No one has come this far, here is my gift, I was once human as well and became stuck here ever since I could remember, but hurry before the new warden comes, he doesn't like to always wait for his prey," Signed the Warden.
