The Inner Maze

Aquarius, Gemini and Leo were looking around the maze. All they did so far was kill a bunch of spiders. Weirdly, there wasn't any animatronics or weird monsters in sight.

Gemini sighed. "It's worrying me how we didn't find any monsters yet."

Leo pointed up ahead. "Hey, what's that?"

Gemini and Aquarius turned to see what Leo was pointing at. It was a normal wooden door, unlike the golden, metal doors everywhere else.

Aquarius walked up to it and opened it. "Woah. Guys, I think you want to see this."

Gemini and Leo ran forward. They stood behind Aquarius and looked at what was on the other side of the door. The maze continued, except the floor, ceiling and walls were pitch black. A few roars and stomps could be heard from within.

Gemini tightened her grip on Aquarius' sword. "It looks kinda creepy. And we can't even see." Then the sword started glowing. The mace and Leo's claws also glowed in the dark. Their weapons glowed bright enough to light the path ahead of them.

Leo walked through the door. "We don't have a choice."

"Wait, what's this on the back of the door?" asked Aquarius. Then he picked up a map. The map was labeled Inner Maze. The inner maze was a maze except the map showed where the coloured rooms were. There were some other labeled rooms like Library, Kitchen, Infirmary, Living room, etc. There was one room that was scratched out but Aquarius could make out a few letters, .......i...us... r...m.

Gemini took the map. "By the look of this, we're in some kind of combination of a maze and a one story house."

Leo looked at the map over Gemini's shoulder. "What is this place? It doesn't look like that part of the maze was build just for us. It seems the inner maze served some purpose before we got here."

Aquarius walked forward in the maze. "Let's just find a room for now. I'm tired."

Gemini folded the map and put it in her pocket. "For once I agree with Aquarius."

Leo was walking with one hand on the wall until he felt something slimy. He shrieked and jumped back. Aquarius walked over to where Leo stood. The mace glowed with enough light for them to see clearly what was in front of them. Gemini screamed. It was a tall, muscular body that was covered in cuts and bruises. There was blood everywhere. The head looked like it was beat to death. The body was recognizable by It's blond hair and the knives in its hand.

Leo's eyes widened. "Wait... what's going on? That's Libra's body."

"But, we saw him walking around. Like with the collar and stuff. And he wasn't killed in this part of the maze!" said Gemini, trying not to freak out.

Aquarius was frozen.

"Aqua?" asked Gemini.

Aquarius kneeled on the ground and inspected the body. "He was brutally beaten up before he died. This happened to him, because he protected me. That was supposed to happen to me instead. I... I don't feel well." Then Aquarius turned around and started vomiting.

"There, there," said Leo while patting his back. Then the body dissappeared followed by an ehehehehehehehehehe that echoed through the walls.

Gemini looked in fear at the spot that was covered in blood a few seconds ago. "It dissappeared. How? Leo felt the blood so it couldn't have been an illusion!"
