I'm laying down on the maze floor, getting ready to pull my arm in, so I will be completely covered by the vines, when I hear footsteps, running.
"Another runner. He's later than usual...... Maybe tomorrow I will come out and have him take me away to wherever they go to...... Just not tonight I still don't know how they will react to finding a random person out in here that they don't know." I think to myself.
I listen to his feet hitting the ground, his pace picking up. Then I remember my arm. I still haven't pulled it in yet! I start to pull it in when I feel something hit my arm, hard. I scream and start to crawl out, there's no point to stay under there anymore if he already heard me scream.
I finally get out from under the vines and stand up rubbing the inside of my arm.
"That's gonna bruise." I think.
I look up and see an Asian looking boy, with dark hair and muscles which he is also covered with sweat, on the ground where he fell. He looks up at me and his eyes go wide.
"What? Why you looking at me like that?" I more demand than ask.
"Your a girl."
"Uh, yeah last time I checked."
"Where'd you come from?"
I roll my eyes, "Seriously? Okay so when two people love each other enough they----"
"I know that! I mean how did you get here?"
"I have no idea. Oh by the way you might want to get a move on. Those creepy-lookin' things come out earlier in this part."
"Uh, okay thanks," He stands up and turns to run off. That's when I hear it. The noise that chills my bones every night, the noise that sometimes gives me panic attacks, the click, click, whir.
I look over at the boy who had stopped running, walked back to me to ask me something and now was standing right next to me gripping my arm ready to pull me away. He looked at me and our eyes connected. We either had to run or hide. Now.
