Someone hold my right wrist and I immediately tugged in my right wrist making the hand of the one holding me to release.
"Damn, it hurts." The person muttered. The person then chuckled. "Are you scared, my lady?" My lady?
"Sangster?" I said.
"Bingo. Took you long enough." My vision slowly got better even if it is still dark. I saw him sat beside me. "Nate did his job well of stalling you."
"Why would you guys stall me?" I asked. He threw his arm around me embracing me sideways.
"So that you would do the consequences to each of us." He simply said. I tried to see what was around us. Then it hit me.
"We aren't in a labyrinth. Please tell me this not a labyrinth." I said.
"You can see that much?" He was clearly shocked. "Yes, we are in a labyrinth."
"So what is your dare?" I asked him. He took his arm off of me.
"Well the instructions are easy but hey." He grabbed my head and placed it on his shoulder. "You don't want to do the consequence. So probably just do it." I stood up.
"Im ready when you are." I said. He also stood up. I saw something moved behind him. "What was that?"
"What was what?" He asked. I pointed behind him. A light was slowly coming to us.
"That." He turned around and since the light was actually a sword, I saw him smirked.
"Just in time." He turned to look at me. "Your dare is simple. Just steal that lightsaber from it's owner and bring it to the exit of this labyrinth. Easy, right?" He said.
"You must be kidding me." I said. He shooked his head.
"The Johns would never joke something like this." He said. He looked at his glow in the dark watch. "I'll give you an hour to finish it." He looked back at me. "Remember, it's almost midnight." Before he even step outside my view, I grabbed the edge of his jacket.
"In the dark?" I asked and he nod. "Where are you even going?"
"To the computer room at the end of the labyrinth. We have cameras everywhere inside the labyrinth." He motioned as if he was holding a camera but it looked like he was holding a gun at me. "Good luck, my lady." He said and waved back at me.
Just before he completely got out of my view, I tried to tail him since I can almost see everything. When he turned right, I turned right, when he turned left, I turned left.
But this time, when he turned right. Someone was giving his night goggles. Sangster wore them and proceeded. I was going to tail him again but a light suddenly went by, trying to slash me from my sides. I jumped back and someone from the interiors of the walls came out.
He was wearing a mask and a black coat. The mask has weird glowing eyes, so they might be night goggles. He began waving his light saber to get to me. I don't know if it is like those in the movies that can cut through me, but I won't stay to find it out.
I ran, trying to get away from the guy. He was fast, af if he was some kind of creature out of this planet. I turned to my right and tried to hide by conceiving myself to the wall. I looked back and saw the guy walking away from me.
I ran again towards where I last saw Sangster but the guy came out from nowhere again.
"Dude, cut that out!" I shouted at the guy. The guy didn't budge and just started attacking. I dodged all of them and jumped high and kicked mid-air to attack the guy's head. The guy moved back holding the mask, he was still holding the lightsaber.
He recovered and began attacking again. This time it was really fast, the speed, I only saw them when I was training with A.I.
"Ouch." I mumbled. The guy got me in my elbow. That light saber is real. My elbow only got little damage but if really hit me, my elbow joint would fall off.
I retreated once again to the corner. Again, the guy didn't followed me there.
"Weird." I said. I stepped back and felt a small rock under my right foot. I crouched down to pick it up. I looked back to where Sangster was and threw it on the opposite direction. The guy suddenly got out from nowhere and head to where I threw the rock.
I ran to where the guy came from. It was just a wall so I tried looking for buttons or anything, until I felt something hot at my nape. It was the light saber.
I crouched down and kicked 180 degrees so that the guy would fall. He didn't hold onto the light saber as hard as before so it flew up in the air. The guy slowly got up so I took the chance and jumped.
"Got it." I said. The guy got up and I pointed the light saber at him. The guy just clapped and gave me a courtesy and ran out of my view.
I looked at the light saber. It was still glowing so I got some light now. I looked at the handle and saw some scribbles.
'Don't go far away, guard the exit. If you forget the code again it's 030993. Got it memorized? Now, go!'
I looked at the wall, with the light saber as light, I saw something at the bottom right. It was a device that needed a passcode. I typed in the code and wall slided to the left. It was a computer room and there was Sangster eating a donut while watching the screen. He turned around to meet me.
"Good job, my lady." He stood up and offered me a glazed donut. "Want some?" I took it.
"So, did I passed?" I asked then ate the donut. He nodded then sat again.
"Didn't knew you can jump that high." He chuckled.
"I was the representative of my last school in high jumping." It wasn't a lie, I was with Jake so I have someone to back me up.
"Is that so." Then there was a sound of the bell ringing. "Didn't Nate told you that dawn would be earlier this day?" I looked at the clock at the wall, 12:26 am.
"Where's the exit?" I hurriedly asked him and he shrugged. I threw the donut away and ran to the nearest door.
"I wouldn't go there if I was you." Sangster said. When I opened the door it was complete darkness and I almost fell. It was like a pit. I closed the door immediately and I felt dizzy onxe again. "Are you feeling well? Is it because of the donut?" He smirked.
"You poisoned me!?" Then I fell. I just got knocked out one too many this day, or was it yesterday? I don't care anymore.
#####
"Ouch!" I woke up since I felt like a fire was right beside me. I then realized that there was in fact a fire, but it was around me in a circle.
"Finally, you woke up." I heard someone said. I turned around but the fire was too damn strong that it reached like 6 feet high. When it toned down a bit, I saw the face.
"I told you, I shouldn't get attached."
