My Hero (Part 1)

"No. That's an awful idea,"He groaned as I told him my brilliant plan to try and climb the Maze walls.

"Why?"I asked.

"What are you expecting to find up there?"

"I don't know. Maybe more than I find down here,"I shrugged.

"Y/N-"
"It's all going to be fine. Now are you coming?"I repeated.

"Do I want to go on an uneventful journey up some walls? No. Not really,"He shook his head.

"Okay. Have fun doing nothing,"I shrugged.

"You mean actually enjoying not working? Yeah. I'll survive,"He exasperated.

"For a Skater, you sure are a wuss,"I sighed, tying up my skates.

"That's fine with me. Just be careful out there,"He called as I stretched.

"I always am,"I called back. Then, I double checked that I was good to go. Still, something felt off.

"Your Skater bag. You might want that out there,"He pointed out, handing it to me. I gave him a nod as a way to silently say thanks before going through the walls. Turning around, I gave him our usual salute which he returned along with a dorky grin. I just rolled my eyes as I turned back around.

Only when he couldn't see me did I dare smile back.

Like I said I would, I kept skating until I was near the middle. From there, I removed my skates and found a good section of vines. Tugging on a few, when I was sure that they were stable I started climbing. Putting my feet on the wall, I made my way up. Glancing towards the top every now and then, I was more than excited to see what I would find. So excited, I was practically shaking. Maybe today would actually be the day. Maybe I will find the way out. I can't even begin to imagine how people would react. Just as ready to go as I am? Scared about what's out there? Reluctant to even try?

I don't know, but I’m ready to go. I’m hoping to find our way out today.

With a huge grin on my face, I realized I was just inches from the top. Resisting the urge to cheer just yet, I climbed even higher.

Then, my hand missed a vine.

Just like that I was falling to the ground.

And saying goodbye to consciousness.
