I looked at Gracin and he turned more and more blue. Then I realized that his arms were starting to fade. We panicked and we all swam to him. I shook my head at him because I knew this was the end for him. I grabbed his face and looked into his eyes. I saw a flash of purple then back. Rina came close to him too. They were right beside me. Once I realized all that was left was his torso and face I kissed him. I let the last of my breath lose for him. I grabbed his face and kissed. His face left then and he was gone. It was just me, Brus, Rina, and Jillian left. I looked around at the frightened faces that they had but Jillian's still just amazed by the sights around him. We sat a little while longer In there and I still just securely held my breath and would not let go. My head started to spin and I could feel more and more pressure. I felt the water slowly crushing my head to were now I could barely see. My vision was going fuzzy, my heart pounded more. My whole body throbbed. My throat hurt and I couldn't take it any more. I felt like I was going to explode. I let lose my breath and opened my mouth. I breathed in some water but I had no choice. The last thing I saw was that the water from the top slowly now was starting to drain. My eyes went lifeless for a moment and I really thought that this was the end. But then it's like I woke up from a sleep but my ability to breath was just switched on. I sat up quick and just a little wet I coughed the water that still remained in my lungs out. I looked around now. I looked in front of me to see very unfamiliar yet familiar faces. I saw a tinier baby then before. Not a huge difference but a baby with the black hair, big brown eyes, and that milk chocolate skin. Holding him was a young, tanner face, not as tan as me but tanner girl with black hair and those faded green eyes. She had no muscle and..neither did I. We both were puny. On the other side of her was a red head boy, he looked about 12 and a little chunky He had a big toothy grin at me with blue eyes. The baby clapped his hands and the boy gazed around at the outside world we were in now. These three faces were the ones in the maze. It was Jillian, Rina, and Bruscular. I looked down at myself and I wasn't as strong as before either. We were back to like we were before we fell in the maze. When I looked at Rina though. She seemed so much like myself. She looked about my age too maybe just a little bit older. But she was puny and yet had a pretty and young face. She seemed graceful. She didn't look like the tough brute-y girl I met in the maze. Brus had changed a lot too. I realized that we were in the real world now. But we were back to normal like before. I smiled at Rina and looked around. We were in the center of the maze and the sun was bright and shining down on us. The maze didn't have that weird feeling any more. It felt calmer now. Now that the souls were free everything was right. But I realized the main reason for all of this now. I looked at Rina. "Rina my wish came true." "And what was that?" She asked me. "I stopped time." We started to laugh together and Brus joined in. We all laughed and hugged each other in relief and happiness. For once now I could feel happiness without a single worry on my shoulders. I could feel great again. "Rina this was all a test. It was a destiny of ours. I don't know why the rest of them couldn't make it...but this was our lesson to be taught. Rina we need to go back and fix everything." She nodded in agreement. "Well Morgan." She stood holding Jillian and Brus standing with her. "Let's fix this and make it right." "What about Jillian?" I asked her. She looked confused for a moment. "We'll bring him to the orphanage I guess." No, Rina we can't do that..." "what are we suppose to do then?" "I don't know but we'll figure something out." We walked out of the maze and I saw a woman running to the maze. A woman that looked just like Rina only a little older. "Rina dear you are five minutes late." "Sorry mom this is my friend Morgan." "Oh hello!" She said and she shook my hand awkwardly. "And who is this?" She asked poking at Jillian's stomach. "Oh I was baby sitting for a little while. "Okay well come on." They left and Rina waved bye to me before she walked in the door of her own home a person walked out of the neighbors house. The woman was walking towards the baby. This woman had black hair...big brown eyes and...milk chocolate skin. It was Jada. "Jada!" Rina and I both yelled running to her. We gave her a tight hug. She took Jillian and shoved us off. "I'm sorry..do I know you?" She asked us. "Well I know you because you baby sat Jillian. Good job for your first time by the way." She told Rina. "Um Jada?" I asked. "And how do you know my name?" She asked me. "So you don't remember us?" "I'm sorry no.." she said. "Your Jillian's mother right?" "Mother? No...I'm his aunt." His Mother passed away a little while ago. "How?" I asked. She looked at me dead in the eyes. Like she knew that some how I knew. "She worked at a construction sight and she fell. She fell in concrete and it froze her over." She just walked off into her house now. "Did you just see and hear what I saw?" Rina asked me with the same astonished look on her face. I just nodded my head. "Rina..I think their souls were freed...and they went into this world. She smiled and hugged me. So we lived our lives normal. Soon enough Rina had a new cousin born and he looked like a twin of Bruscular. Of course Rina was the first one to pipe up and name him Driagon. I went to back to school as normal and treated everyone with way more respect then in the first place. I wasn't shy at school either. I was more enthusiastic and outgoing. Everybody knew me and I knew everybody. It was all going great. Though I still to this day have horrid dreams of Trennor. And it scares me to know that he is somewhere out there and will pop up in my life at any moment. For now though I was living the life. I spent time with David and he showed me how to play guitar and to shoot a gun. I drew pictures with Molly and come to find out that she is a really good artist. I let Ronny talk about things to me that I don't care much about but I listened. I played dolls with Bridget. But Bridget I did something special. Bridget was the only one I told the stories to. I told her all about what went on in the maze. Of course she may or may not believe it. But she is the only one that knows. I was so glad to hear the sweet sound of Leah's voice again and her nonstop talking about shoes. We shopped a lot more often too. Kile broke up with Leah the second week and now she's with some dude named Roro. I don't even know. And I saved the best for last, Jay. Jay again asked me for my homework..or did he? He slipped a little word he didn't mean to. Just a flash back on it real quick.... " Hey Morgan?" "Sup?" "Can I use youuu...r homework?..." "I knew it! You've just been using me!" "No Morgan seriously baby!" "I'll show you the baby." I punched him in the gut. I know it was drastic but..needless to say I've only went the principles office for being in trouble that one time. I made sure to keep a look out for guys and not to give my hopes up for a stupid one like him. So yea my life went great. There was still something missing in my heart though..a piece still gone. I visited Rina all the time and she became friends with Leah too. We had girl nights all the time. I hung out with Brus and Driagon. I saw Jada and Jillian all the time. I helped baby sit...what was missing? It was eleventh grade now. First day, new start. I was ready to get class started. I listened to our new teacher Mr.wakinstiff "okay you all we have a new student." As he gestured to the door I saw a boy walk in. He had a navy blue T-shirt on and jeans. He had brown hair and bright blue eyes. He was oddly beautiful and he glanced at me. When he did I could've swore I saw a flash of purple in his eyes.
