The Maze

Chapter 9

Harry's p.o.v

I watch as Arieth immediately walks over to the wall full of many different sized knives.

Adam stood by me watching her closely, she grabbed one off the wall that was almost half the size of her petite but fit body.

She walks over right in front of the dummy and looks at me with a smirk.

She cuts the dummy to multiple pieces in the flash of an eye.

Maybe we do have a shot at surviving.

Little did everyone know I have a few talents up my sleeve. I'm rather strong and my father taught me self defense, I'm also sorta talented in inventing.

I can build anything out of pretty much everything. Just have to put your mind to it.

She turns around and tries to hand me the knife, I look nervously at her still haven't gained full trust.

Instead I walked out to a different dummy and used all my strength and punched the head clean off.

I looked back over to Arieth and her blue eyes immediately met mine. She was very beautiful I must say.

Adam clears his throat before saying. "Looks like you guys are going to be just fine, you will work on your strengths and weaknesses. Feel free to use anything. I'll be back in a couple hours to help. I'll leave you be for now." He says walking out the door before locking it. Of course.

I smiled before walking over to her, she still looked guarded. I held out my hand, "hi I'm harry, I'd like to properly introduce myself." I say.

She looks at my hand a little unsure before taking and saying "Arieth."

I need her, she has skills. If we work together we could have a better chance of getting through this.

"Do you think we have a shot at this." I ask furrowing my eyebrows.

She rolled her eyes and scoffed "winning? No chance she says." Placing her hands on her hips.

"I meant at us being friends." I corrected waiting anxiously for an Answer. She looked at me unsure.

"We'll see." She says before walking off towards the archery range.

That's a start I guess.
**
The rest of the day is full of personal training, working on our weaknesses, and our strengths.

Adam came back like he said and helped me work on my fighting skills, he also showed me a couple new tricks.

So far he's the only one here that has actually had faith in me so far.

"I'm putting my bets on you two." He whispers. At least someone is on our side.

"Arieth." Adam calls.

She looks towards us and leaves the bow she was shooting with on the floor.

"You and harry will fight." He says with a smirk.

I look at her with nervous eyes. "I can't hurt her." I say. She rolls her eyes and walks up right in front of me. Only inches from my face.

"Don't worry." She says with a smirk.

little did I know she's been trained in karate, mine wasn't necessarily karate but a form of self defense.

She threw punches and kicks but I dodged all of them. I did the same, but I was too scared of hitting her so I held back a little, but to my surprise none of us got hit.

"Good job you two, I will see you first thing in the morning."

The bell rings signaling the end of the day, I stop and catch my breath and look down at the black foam padded floor, trying to comprehend how much we've accomplished today.

I look up to find Arieth looking at me, she looks away and starts to head towards the double doors.

Something's bothering her.

"You okay? Was today too much?" I ask, she doesn't turn around, but she nods before heading out of the door.

I slowly look back around the room.

1 more day.
**

I find my way back to my room and immediately fall far first into the bed. I can already feel the aches of today creeping through my body.

I decide to take a shower since I'm probably not the cleanest. I walk to the bathroom and discard of my sweaty clothes and hop in the steaming shower.

The water runs down my tired body, I close my eyes and let the water hit my face.

After I am finished, I grabbed one of the overly expensive towels and wrap it around me.

I than realize I didn't have any clean clothes. I mentally cursed before remembering Adam grabbing my gym clothes out of the closet.

I walk over to the walk in closet and open the door to find different colored shirts, short sleeve and long sleeve. Along with jeans, sweats, and shorts.

Why all the clothing? It's not like I'm going to be here for much longer..

I decide against a shirt and grab some boxers that sit neatly on the shelf and some black sweats.

I sighed thinking about all that's happened before walking to my bed and getting under the sheets.

I fall into a deep sleep and dream of the girl with brown hair and blue eyes.
