One World Away (Book II)

The Sacrifice

"We aren't letting them escape again." I smirk.

"Ready Audrey?..."

"I've been killing ready."

"I thought so.

***

There was a whistle and the loudspeaker activated.

"Heather, Sam, Lacier, Lacer!!! To the principal's office!"

I gulped. I've been keeping my distance from Dennis all the time now. Sam doesn't do much and the twins are too smart to do anything stupid. Why were we called?

I entered the Principal's office to find Pepper, Scipes and Sàrda there. Pepper was in armor.

Everyone else burst through the door.

"Why are we here?" Sam asked.

"We're going on a trip to chaos."

We were all quickly suited up into our armor. Sàrda gave us all rings like mine for communication. They light up when one of us is in danger.

"Remember, that the most important things can show up at the most unexpected of times."

I nodded.

Alright, let's do this.

I jumped through the portal and landed on my feet. Karate-fighter style. This was a different location... It was a maze.

Everyone appeared behind me.

"Do we go in teams or split up?" I asked.

"Teams?" I said.

"Teams." Lacer said. "I'll go with Scipes this time. You need someone who can protect you."

"Ooh! I'm with Lacier!!!" Pepper exclaimed. "You and Sam go together like always!"

I blushed slightly. "Eheh... Guys..."

Sam held my hand and smiled. "Well?"

"Let's get it on." I smirked.

He nodded.

"Alright. If we need each other, we know what to do." I wiggled my fingers and my ring shone.

"We know." Pepper nodded.

We entered one entrance in the maze and saw nothing but marble halls and stone floors.

***

They went together... As planned.

"We didn't plan for Scipes to stay with Lacer however." Flaubert muttered.

"That's fine. We can still continue the traps and the switching. Remember the trap you created in the waterfall base?" I asked him.

"Sure. How could I forget." He laughed.

"We'll just modify that plan. We just have to finish them off one by one."

"Alright..."

***

"Sam..." I started.

"Yeah?..."

We were just walking taking turns, nothing was really happening. No traps. I expected more...

"Don't you think its strange?..."

"What is?..."

"No traps... No one... We've twisted and turned but haven't seen or heard from anyone... And haven't fallen into a trap."

"Don't say that Heat... When you do, they usually do happen."

"Sorry... Sam-ones being overprotective..." I teased.
