The Welcoming

chapt. 20 ash p.o.v

She explained to me how the maze worked. Almost like a regular one you go in one end and try to come out the other. Simple. Except you had to fight to get your way out. Since it was my first day I was lucky and only had to observe.

We walked out a set of double doors. Tall walls stood not that far from the building. Lasers guarded the entrance.

"Who first?" The teacher asked typing in a password on the keypad lock trunking off the lasers. "Remember your making a first impression on the new girl." She looked directly at me. "Come Ashley."

I looked around embarrassed and then put my head down walking up to her.

"Head up!" She lifted my head. "Never show weakness."

Nodding "Y....Yes ma'am" she grabbed my hand and we faced the crowd.

"ME!" a deep voice came from the crowd. A boy came from the crowd. He looked to be around my age. Milky white skin, light blue eyes with silver flacks, he had to be at least 6'3, chiseled features, brown hair with a
silver tips. He looked like a demi-god.

"Ah, another star pupil. Chase I would love for you to show her how it's done." The teacher said the widest and brightest smile I've seen so far slapped on her face.

He nodded at her "yes Ms.Rosey" then he smirked towards me. Almost in a flirty motion. I blushed but for some reason Jordan came to mind. Him smiling and then chuckling. I shock my head to get him out of mind.

"Come Ashley." She said pulling me to a set of stairs put off to the side of the maze. We went up the stairs into a small room. A bunch of monitors decorated the walls. They revealed different parts of the maze. Different obstacles. Some were visual. Others didn't show unless the person reached that point. Some monitors were off though.

"You may begin" she spoke into a load speaker. I saw the entrance screen. He pulled out a whip and whacked the entrance as if it tried to attack him. Immideatly 4 arrows shot from one side of the wall to the other.

My heart dropped to my ass just thinking what might of happened if we just walked through....If I had just walked through...

He smirked and ran in. He had only just got through the entrance and already he was as a cross way. He looked to his left then his right. He put his whip on his hip and pulled out a staff. He used it to scrap the ground making a dirt cloud fly in both directions. To the right it reaveld a translucent figure and his left lasers.

Immideatly, without hesitation, he charged towards the figure now covered in dirt so it's visible to everyone. He used his staff to trip it and tried to jump over. The odd figure growled and grabbed his leg forcing him flat on his face.

He must have really pissed it off because all of a sudden it became visible. It looked like a huge rat like thing. It screeched at him and with that same confident smirk he got up and took off. The rat human alien thing not far behind. He reached another intersection half way through the maze.

There was a whole in the middle not even half the size of my fist. He saw it then used his staff to propel him over the entire cross way landing him on the other side. I looked confused until I saw the creature step one paw into the trap.

The whole ground dissolvedunder his paws. He fell into a cage almost 15 feet underground.

I'm not sure what face I was doing but it must have been amusing because Ms.Rosey started laughing. "One day you'll be able to do 10 times as better" she said rubbing my shoulder "I'll be sure of it..."

I didn't responed I couldn't. I just watched him finish the maze with ease. Avoiding traps, only fighting when he needed to, and coming out the other side without even a hair out of place.

"Next" Ms.Rosey said on the loud speaker. A girl came up to the gate and waited taking out her weapons. The teacher touched a button and the shape of the maze changed. Everything inside moved around. New obstacles, traps, everything emerged. Some monitors that were on before shut off and some that were off took there place.

"Begin" she said...And all I could do was stare...person after person. Completing the maze. For some easy as cake but for others....they had new scars to remind them of this day... No lives lost but lives changed.
