The Other Maze (Group B)

5

Now that she had been introduced to all the jobs, she had to spend a whole day trying out each one to see which suited her best. If one didn't seem to fit they would quickly move on to the next.

"Well fishy," Sonya says. "Trial time is over, it's time to see which jobs you'll be assigned to."

The leaders of each group meet up in a room and discuss what each saw.

As she waits, Eliza sits on the grass and looks at the sky. Is the sky real? Shouldn't there be clouds too?

After a while the door opens and Sonya motions for Eliza to go in.

"We've decided," Harriet says standing up, "that you seem quite handy in different groups so you will be required to assist wherever is necessary. However you will be mainly assigned as a med."

"You're officially part of the stade stick." Beth says patting her shoulder.

"You can report there as soon as we are done here." Harriet says.

"Fancy that." Eliza says confidently.

"Look at you" Sonya says with a smile. "You did good Liza."

"Um...tanks." She says and start heading towards the medical room.

As she walks she notices how her hair keeps getting in the way so she starts messing with it and ties it with an elastic she found in the kitchen.

The day went by pretty slow and there wasn't much to be done so Eliza decides to walk around the stade and see if anyone needs helps.

Unfortunately, there's not much for her to do so she goes to the condo and starts cleaning.

After a while, Eliza looks up at the sky and wipes her forehead with a small towel. I think this is good for now.

As Eliza takes a break from work, she sits against a tree and starts closing her eyes. She places her hands near her pockets and to her surprise, she feels something in her pocket, how come she hadn't noticed it before?

She carefully takes out the object and examines it. Did I have this all along? She wonders as she examines the shiny, golden object. As her fingers trace the heart she notices that the locket can be opened.

She slowly opens it and finds pictures but she can't recognize the people in it. Do the other girls have something like this? She wonders until she a noise near her startling her.

She quickly puts the necklace away, and secures it. Its the only key I have to my past.

When she looks for the source of the noise, she notices a small mechanical creature. The creature climbs up to where Eliza can see it clearly.

"I wouldn't touch it if I were you." Says Sonya.

"What is it?" Eliza asks pointing at the thing. By now the creature had hurried away.

"That's a bettle blade." Says Sonya sitting next to her and offering some water. "Whoever put us in here uses it to watch us."

Eliza tries finding the bettle blade again but it's long gone. As she takes a sip of the water she thinks about the necklace.

Do they know I have this? I can't be a clue right?

Sonya interrupts her thoughts as she takes the bottle back. "Your hair looks nice by the way." She says examining the braid. "How did you do it?"

"I'm not entirely sure, it just kind of happened."

"Do you think you could do it on mine?" Sonya asks looking up at her.

"Maybe." Eliza says and starts playing with Sonya's hair.

After a while she gets the hang of it and ties it. "I'm done." Eliza says standing up and offering her hand to Sonya.

Sonya takes it and they head towards the condo.

As they have dinner, Beth sits next to Eliza. "So fishy," she starts, "I heard you did Sonya's hair." Eliza responds with a nod.

"Do you think you could do mine too? I've been trying to find a way to keep my hair out of my face and the braid looks nice."

"Sure, I can do it for you too."

"Thanks fishy."

"I think soon enough you will became the hair stylist of the stade." Sonya says with a smile and Eliza laughs.

"I guess so."
