The MAZE

Chapter 9

《Unedited Version》

Liz's POV

I couldn't help but laugh, he was still in his PJs at this hour.

But then he seemed to brainwash me for thinking that it is normal?

I had quickly lost that thought and followed him, when he led me.

However, my mind drifted away for a spilt second to still think why is he still in Pjs? That scenery when he appeared, I couldn't help but laugh again, when I finally came back to my senses, I looked up and I've lost him.

I looked around me but there was only 4 walls of hedges.

Locking me up like a cage.

"Ian!?"

I called out but no one answers.

Believe me it doesn't not feel good at all.

I called him several times, he didn't reply.

I shouted for him several times but there was no sign of him.

I became afraid. A chilled breeze shivered down my spine.

Am I gonna be stuck here?

Alone?

Why did my mind drifted away.

Now, I'm honestly regretting, for not following Ian's instructions.

The only thought I had in mind.

Ian please find me, I prayed.

All of a sudden, it's like as if, God answered my prayer on spot.

Ian appears in front of me, grabs my hand and drags me with him.

When he grabbed my hand, I felt something when our hands touched.

I think I saw a speck of light lit up for half a second.

At the time when he found me, I felt security and as well as surprised.

I tried to catch up with his pace when he dragged me with him.

The sight of his house is so modernized.

When he led me to his living room.

Okay! I have to admit that his house is so BIG!

As well as, it's Beautiful too!

Whom ever designed this, knows art for sure, I would like to hire that person to decorate my poorly displayed house.

Ian just stood there quietly waiting for me to finish my admiration.

I looked at him, "Wow! I love the aesthetics here."

He just smiled.

"Thanks Liz, by the way, do you want a tour?" He leads on a wall near me.

I turn to look at him again and nods.

A grin formed on his face.

"Alrighty then, Come with me..." He said with his aussie accent as he turns around, patiently emphasizing for me to follow him when he did that heads up signal.

I held onto his jacket sleeves just because I'm scared that I'll be lost in here like I just did outside.

"Liz? Why are you holding onto my sleeves?"

I looked at him while still not realizing that I was still holding on.

I was pretty much caught off guard.
