Team 2's POV

Chaw's mouth wide open because Arnold had led the both of them to the first checkpoint. "You got to be kidding me."Chaw said. "Am I a genius or what?"Arnold said proudly. "An idiot. We haven't save Alex yet. So don't be so cheerful." Chaw said strictly. Arnold just stayed silent.

"What puzzle do we have to solve now??" Arnold asked Chaw. Then Chaw said,"A hall of mirror." "What?!"Arnold said. "Look at the signboard." Chaw pointed high up the ceiling.

MIRROR MAZE

"A maze?! But that's hardly called a puzzle." Arnold said in anger. "Don't ask me. Ask The Crooked Man." Said Chaw. But it seem that his wish had been granted.

"Oh? Did I heard someone called my name?"

That voice send the both of them to shivered. "What do you want?" Asked Chaw.

"Didn't I just heard my name had been called?"

They didn't answer him.

"Not to mention, do you two not worried about those girls?"

"If something or someone hurt those girls. You..." But Arnold had been cut by The Crooked Man.

"Too late. I had.... Caught Rachel." He laughed. "But congratulation on finding the first checkpoint. For the next round, I hope all of you failed. I will going to find you and you know what'll happened. Hahahahahahahahahahah." Then the voice disappeared into thin air.

"We should not waster our time and quickly find them." Said Arnold furiously.

Abigail's POV

Huh? Where am I? Where is Shereena? Rachel? Don't tell me I lose them....

Tap Tap

I should start running.

Tap Tap Tap Tap

What the heck.. No matter how fast I run. The footsteps always kept up. Soon after that... I felt someone tap on my shoulder.

It said "Hey! Stop running!"

That voice! Could it be? Then I take a look at the back of me. It was none other than------Shereena. I'm glad it was her. I sign in relief.

"It's okay. It's just me." She said,"Where's Rachel?" "I don't know... All of us ran separately.." I sadly said to her. "It's okay, we'll find her."said Shereena. But sooner or later, we found a door.

Up in the ceiling was written..

MIRROR MAZE

"We should find Rachel first then," Shereena hadn't speak finish her words then the two of us had been pushed by the back and went inside the Mirror Maze. The door suddenly closed behind us. Shereena bang on the door and shouted, "No! We hadn't save Rachel! Let us out!!!!"

I saw anger filled her. Tears formed in her eyes. " Shereena, after we found Alex, we will straight away find Rachel with the others." I said to Shereena and hopping it would calm her down. But I was wrong.

What if I hadn't agreed that sleepover? What if I just lied to them I moved to a new house and not a mansion? I believed these kind of thing wouldn't happened if I followed what I just thought just now.

Then I saw Shereena wiped her tears then said, "Let's go... We should start moving before that Crazy Man found us."Shereena said. I just nod in silent. I know what Shereena's feeling. She hated if someone she loved lose, like her friends. She cared for them. Ever since Arnold invited her to joined their INFINITE GALAXY club... She felt like all of us are family to her. She never betrayed us.

But now.... We don't know what will happened next...

Arnold's POV

I hope the girls are okay....

"Hey Chaw."I said, "Do you think we can get out of here?" Then Chaw looked at me in shock. What? Is there really something on my face or what...?

"Why are you so emotional all of the sudden? Where is the REAL Arnold?" Said Chaw. You're right...this wasn't like me to be emotional.

"I'm just worried... About Alex,about the girls. All of them."I tell Chaw. "Do-"Chaw didn't finished his sentences. Because of-------------HIM.

"Just so you know,look what I caught? It's Rachel. Duh~~ Oh, I said that before haven't I?" He laughed.

"Hahaha. Do you want me to hang her? Hahaha"
