The earth signs were exhausted.

"We need to find an earth room," said Taurus.

"I know but we haven't found one yet! I need to sleep!" said Capricorn.

"There is one rule that I forgot to mention. All doors will be locked at night. So if nighttime comes around and you're not in a room, guess who's going to die? It's you guys!" Hydrus' voice rang throughout the maze. "Night time will begin in five minutes."

"Are you kidding me? He waited until NOW to tell us?" asked Virgo.

"He did that because he knows we're all probably trapped out here," said Capricorn.

"We need to find an earth room, quick!" said Taurus. Then the three earth signs ran forward. They reached a hallway that branched off into four different paths. Two of them had a door at the end. Virgo and Taurus sprinted to the end of each hallway.

Virgo reached for the door handle. The door glowed white. "AIR!"

"FIRE!" shouted Taurus. Then they both ran back to Capricorn.

"This way!" Capricorn lead them down one of the other hallways.

"Night time begins in one minute!" taunted Hydra's voice. He probably installed speakers or something.

"It's... got... to be... around... here... somewhere," panted Capricorn. Then they reached another intersection of hallways. Capricorn ran left. Taurus and Virgo followed.

"Thirty seconds~"

"DOOR!" screamed Capricorn. Then she turned right and touched the doorknob. It glowed blue. "SHIT!" Capricorn ran back to Taurus and Virgo. They continued running straight ahead.

"Ten seconds~"

The earth signs were breathing heavily. They've never ran so much in their entire lives. They reached another intersection. There was a door at the end of one path.

Hydrus' voice continued ringing through the speakers. "Five... four..." The earth signs sprinted down the hallway. "Three... two..." Almost there. "One..." Taurus grabbed the doorknob and swung the door open. The earth signs barely got inside before the door shut and locked. Then the lights went out. The earth signs felt like crying tears of relief.

"I... can't... believe........... we... made... it," panted Virgo. Taurus crawled over to the table and grabbed three bottles of water. The earth signs chugged their water.

"Whew. I think I've lost five pounds just trying to find the door. This is why I don't run," said Capricorn. Taurus crawled over to the buckets and started washing her scythe.

Virgo's eyes grew wide. "I hope the others made it in time."

The fire signs were relaxing in their fire room. This is the second fire room they found today. There was three beds, but Leo and Aries pushed their beds together so they could cuddle. Sagittarius cuddled his pillow and pretended that it was Cancer. I know, that's lame, but he misses her a lot!

"I can't sleep," said Aries. She moved Leo's arm from around her waist and turned over so she could look at him.

"Me either."

"Seriously guys? You can't sleep? These beds are so comfortable like, you'd have to be a complicated person if you can't sleep," said Sagittarius.

"Says the one who's obviously awake," said Leo.

"Aww, Saggi's cuddling his pillow? He wishes his little Cancer was there to cuddle! Or maybe he wants to-" Sagittarius threw his pillow at Aries.

Sagittarius sighed. "It's easy to make fun of me while your boyfriend is right there. I don't know where she is or how she's doing. I'm relieved that she's with Scorpio, but I'm still worried."
