Stuck In The Labrinth

The whole short story

"Mr.Green back to the group!"

       My attention snapped back to the small statue of Zues as I hurried back to my class. I was on a school trip to Athens, Greece, it was for some senior trip my school had organized.

"Yea Max, get back to the group."

"Shut up Alex." I snapped back

          Alex Smith and I have been getting into fights all of highschool. I hate him more than anything and it seems like his life goal is to make my life miserable. He just makes me so angry and it seems like I have that effect on him too.

"Everyone through here, we're heading back to the hotel for lunch!"

        Mr.Andersen yelled out while pointing kids in the direction of an alley. I was at the back end of the students and one of the last to enter the alley.
I got pushed up against the wall and met with the face of my mortal enemy.

"You better watch how you talk to me Max!"

        I don't give a response and instead shove him back, I duck as he throws a right hook and I push him into the wall and I hear something crack. Then suddenly I was engulfed in darkness.

Alex Smith
My eyes shot open as I got drenched with water and suddenly I was wide awake.

"Damn, that's cold!"

         I started looking around and I quickly realized I have no clue where I am. It's very dark and the walls seem ancient, like thousands of years old. I saw what looked like a bucket or bowl or something off to my right. Oh shit where did that water come from. My eyes darted around the room and I was met with the standing figure of Max looking down at me.

"Get up, we have to go!" Max shouted

"Why? And where the hell are we? What did yo-"

         I stopped what I was saying and got up and started running with Max, I have no clue what I just saw behind us but I know for a fact that it shouldn't exist. That thing looked demonic and it started running after us and speaking in a voice that sounded oddly familiar to me for some reason.

"Hurry up!"

         We sprinted for a couple of minutes til we got to a room with boxes, or crates? Either way things that we could cover up where we came from.

"Hurry move them into the doorway!" I yelled

Max didn't answer and instead just started moving the boxes (crates?).

"Help me with this one!" Max called out

"One, two, three, lift!"

           We lifted it simultaneously and stacked it on top of the other boxes. I collapsed to the floor completely out of breath.

"What was that thing?" I spoke out, not even looking for an answer just having to say it

"If I'm right that was cyclops" Max answered

"What the hell are you talking about"

        Then I started thinking about it and realized he might be right, I only saw one eye on that thing and it was towering over us. No human being or even anything that stands on two legs is that tall.

"Holy shit, why are you right? Why are we stuck in some old maze or mansion or something? I don't even know what this place is but why are there Greek monsters!?"

"I don't know but we have to keep moving, boxes aren't going to keep out a cyclops for long even with the space we put between us."

       With that we set out trying to find other people or rooms even, I was honestly surprised we haven't gotten into a fight but I guess in this situation we have other things to worry about.

Max Green
"I think we can stop here Alex"
