Chapter 2- Ben and Minho

It feels like we've been going through this Maze for days. I'm walking ahead of the two of us.

The pattern seems similar to our maze pattern but we shouldn't be too sure about that.

I don't want Mari to step into a trap or get caught by a shader.

I feel starred at. But Mari's safety comes first.

Although the more I look around, the less I can tell if I'm just being paranoid.

"Diana, do you also have a weird feeling... like someone's watching-"

She broke of her sentence I didn't think much about it at first.

"Yeah, I do, but don't worry I'm here if something happens."

I heard a muffled scream and turned around.

"Mar, you okay?"

But behind me wasn't just Mari, two boys were standing there, one covering her mouth. I can tell that the one who is standing in the shadow, covering Mari's mouth and shoving a knife to her neck has some asian features. While the other I can see clearly, blonde and about 5'9 maybe a little taller.

He speaks up.

"Hey, we don't want to hurt you two, we just-"

I take the chance and hold him in a firm grip at his neck, also called headlock.

"YOU LET GO OF HER AND I WILL LET GO OF HIM" I scream to the Asian.

"I don't see you having a knife to actually hurt him bad while I" He pushes the knife closer to Mari's skin, a whimper falling out of her mouth "do."

"You wanna bet!?"

I grab one of the ice skates both hung at the side on my backpack, holding the blade near the neck of the boy.

"You hand her over right now!"

"You first!"

"I asked first, so you have to!"

"That's not how it works!"

"Oh I believe it does!"

"Then we'll both do it on the count of three!"

That seemed fair... "Fine."

"One... two... three..."

We both didn't do anything, waiting for the other to do it first.

"You said at the count of three!"

"Well, you ain't doing it either!"

I push the blonde out of my grip and to the asian.

"Now you!"

He pushes Mari to me, I rush to her as fast as I can and cup her face in my hands like she's my daughter or a valuable vase.

"Are you okay?"

She just nods tears in her eyes.

I could practically stab that guy.

"YOU STICK OF A SHADER, FINCHFACE, CRACKHEAD OF KLANK, PERVERT, I WILL KILL YOU, IF YOU EVER DARE TO BREATH THE SAME AIR AS HER!"

I start swinging my ice skate at him.

"Woah, stop... HEY, STOP!" The blonde guy tries, the asian just stumbling back.

The blonde sadly snatches my skate from my hands.

"Wow, how smart!" I grab my other skate. "Unfortunately shoes mostly have a pair, you know?"

"Just put the shoe down, we're not trying to hurt you." He gives the asian a stern look. "Right, Minho?"

"You first blondie." I nod to my other ice skate which is pointed at me.

"Don't shucking listen to her, Ben, the Doors are closing soon, let's leave them to the Grievers, if she's so desperate for that."

"Seriously, Minho?! That's cold hearted, dude! We can't just leave them to die, look at them they look wasted!"

"Hey!" Do I really look that bad? I quickly fix my hair.

They both don't even take notice me while fighting about leaving us or not.

I stand there for a few minutes thinking running away, right now they're too busy arguing anyway.

I put my finger on my lips for Mari to see, motioning for us to slowly go.

But the moment I take my glance off of the guys and to an escape route, someone grabs my shoulder.

"Where do you think you're going?"

It was the Minho boy, I could tell by his voice and grip.

"I mean, you want to leave us, so why don't we leave, bam win-win situation."

"Actually I've just made my mind up, Alby will put you in the Slammer and then Banish you, so I don't mind." He grabs me by my arm firmly although harsh. "Ben get the other one, I want to be at the Doors before they close."

"You make no finching sense!" I try to fight out of his grip, maybe I could've done it, if Ben would've grabbed me.

"Stop fighting it will just take longer."

"Longer is good, if this is anything like where we came from, which seems like it is, out of the weather situation and... well our gender, the doors will close and we wouldn't want to be here at night, now would we?"

"You just want the Grievers to kill you? I mean you do you."

"Griev-? Oh you mean Shades? It wasn't my plan to die to a giant flying bat tonight but shouldn't everyone be open-minded for new things?"

"Giant bat? Well, we're not talking about the same thing, a Griever is a giant spider, they can climb but certainly not fly."

"A spider!?" I shout this time, anxiety creeping up.

"You afraid of them?" He grins, this bastard.

Ben stepped in, I noticed that Mari and him were just walking behind us, I might be the problem kid, I couldn't care less. At least I'm not a guy who puts too much gel in his hair.

"We're almost there, so both stop talking, I already have a headache from Minhos comments today."

Which earned him a death stare from Minho.

He was right though, when we went around a corner there was a corridor leading to an open space. Similar to the one we have at our Spring just here with less to no ice and at the end wasn't a beautiful winter landscape with huts, a conifer forest and a frozen lake.

Quite the opposite actually, it was a green landscape also with huts but smaller ones unlike one, which looks like it would fall over at the next blow of wind. There was also a forest but not with pine trees or conifers, there were deciduous trees. I could hear a small river which is weird because we're way too far away to hear anything that happened in their Spring.

As we enter their Spring, a little bit rounder and very young, kid, next to him a sandy brown hair 5'9 boy, waves at us.

As he opened his mouth to say something, he looks at me and Mari with his mouth opened in utter shock.

He looks like a goldfish.

Literally.

A/N: I'm not very good at writing oral speech, which you could probably tell, still hoped you enjoyed overprotective Diana and this chapter <3
Please tell me if it's too much or adds to her character
