Apex Nation Volume 1: The Babysitter

All Those Teeth

They all stopped at a corner in the Labyrinth, it was right beside where they had entered through the floor; which of course was no longer there. Stacey was laying on the ground trying to sleep. Sarah had just gotten her to stop crying, but Stacey kept screaming "We are all going to die here, we're never getting back!" The temperature was getting colder and Sarah was sitting up beside Stacey grimacing in pain. Anthony kneels next to Sarah, "You had better let me get that wound wrapped up, don't want no infections girl." He goes to reach for the bandages in Carla's backpack, Gabey snaps at his hand and pulls it away, and says, "What is your problem Crabby?" Gabey walks over to the bag and grabs the wrap and takes care of Sarah's wound. Carla is watching out the entrance to the Labyrinth, it's way too quiet for Carla's liking, and she has the 9 mm handgun ready; the same gun Anthony pulled on Sarah Gabey and Stacy not even two hours ago. Gabey walks over to Anthony and says, "No offense to you Anthony but these two are my responsibility, and if you call me crabby one more time I'm going to pinch you somewhere you don't want to be pinched, it's Gabey!" He tells her he's sorry. "I'd kill for an ice-cold Bush light right about now," Carla said, still watching the entrance like a trapdoor spider ready to strike. "See that is where we differ, my friend, Budweiser is my first choice," Anthony says with a smile on his face. Sarah notices for the first time as the flashlight beams off his face that he is extremely handsome. Sarah looked up at the ceiling, still, a little upset that the opening wasn't there anymore, it was replaced with stone and dirt. Just a regular old Labyrinth. "We got movement in the water, Carla was looking through binoculars, and Sarah wondered what all this girl carried in that backpack. Anthony went over to Carla as she watched the water. "What is it, Carla, some more of those Crocs?" Carla said, "No, I believe it's some kind of shark-man." As she watched through the binoculars. Sarah had no clue what they were talking about, she knew for sure that she didn't want to deal with no shark-man. Gabey said, "we need to move now!" Sarah moved towards Anthony to see what they were talking about. Carla lost sight of the shark thing. "I think it went back under the water," Carla said. "I think we need to move deeper in the Labyrinth, there has to be another way out of here," Sarah said as she went over to check on Stacey. Carla turned around and all she saw were teeth as they closed on her skull, crushing it Anthony's face was dripping blood and brain matter from the splatter of the shark man's chomp, he even had pieces of skull in his hair.
