Shelby had been running for an ungodly long time.
Well more accurately she had been flying, but you get the point.
The point was that Shelby was starting to loose hope.
The creature had been chasing her for so fucking long and it wasn't even midnight according to the sky.
Suddenly, she crashed into a wall that she was pretty sure had just materialized out of literally nowhere who's only purpose in life was to corner her.
So that the creature could strike.
Shelby screamed as the scorpion-like tail of the creature swung at her with vicious intent, narrowly dodging it in the process.
"SHELBY!!!!!!!"
Mohwee's voice, it was faint, but it was enough for Shelby to voom off in the general direction of it.
"MOHWEE!!!!!!!! APO!!!!!!!!" Shelby called out
"SHELBY!!!!!!!!"
This time it was Apo's voice, a little closer then Mohwee's, but still far away from where she was currently at.
"I'M COM-AAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Shelby was thrown against a wall by the creature's tail.
Pure genuine fear raced through her body as she scrambled to keep following Mohwee and Apo's voice.
"SHELBY!!!!!!!!!" Mohwee again
"HELP!!!!!!!!" Shelby cried, flying faster then she had ever flown before with the creature still hot on her tail.
"WE'RE COMING!!!!!!!!" Apo called out.
Indeed it was true. Their voices were a lot closer then before, and it seemed like they were running.
The creature roared in anger as it continued to chase Shelby through the maze.
"SHELBY!!!!!!!"
"MOHWE-AAAAAAH!!!!!!!!"
Shelby shrieked as this time the creature knocked her to the ground, and pinned her to the cold stone floor.
She was too scared to faze through the floor, and escape.
Too scared to do anything really.
The creature raised it's tail, preparing to strike Shelby down when suddenly.
"Greiver power off"
The blue eyes that had been staring into Shelby's soul suddenly flickered out like a light switch.
"SHELBY!!!!!!!!!" Apo cried out, but she was too stunned by what had happened to answer him.
"I do hope you forgive me for this" the voice apologized, so familiar, yet so alien.
Could it be...
No it couldn't be...
"Blueberry?" Shelby croaked out
"Heh, I guess our dear mother was wrong in saying you had no brains. Don't worry I'll explain everything later, but right now I kinda need to do something. Sorry for this but I'm afraid I'll have to knock you out for the time being."
"How are you even alive? O-Orange said you-"
"Shhhh, like I said I'll explain everything later, but for now I'm gonna have to need you to trust me on this one, ok?"
"I trust you, you're my brother after all"
"I'm glad you still see me as a brother."
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Let's save the questions for when you wake up, ok?"
"I... guess, but why can't you answer them now?"
"It's... complicated, we're kinda on a time crunch here, but I really do promise I'll answer everything when you wake up"
"Hey, time to get moving, they could be here any second."
"Right, sorry Grace, but I have to knock you out now."
Before Shelby could ask who that other person was, she was hit on the head with... something.
Shelby slipped into the void soundlessly, her last thought wondering who in the ever-loving-hell was that woman who was with Blueberry.
The last thing Shelby felt, was the foot of the... what did Blueberry call it? The... Greiver?
Was that right? Greiver? Whatever.
The point was that the last thing Shelby felt before slipping off into the sweet void of unconsciousness, was someone, probably Blueberry, pulling the crab-like foot of The Greiver off of her body.

It's a short chapter I know, but in my defence I didn't really know where to go from here without turning it into another chapter.
As always leave your guess to the song I used right here ————>
And just for funsies, leave your guess to the identity of Blueberry and the other voice that Shelby heard right here! ————————>
And as always I shall see you in the next chapter of this forest fire of a book!
