The Misfits Refugee

chapter eleven Cavern of death

I can't watch myself burn to death. I cluck my tongue. The dragon freezes.

"I know you are doing your job. But please let me through" I cluck my tongue at the end. The dragon nods at me before turning around. I hit the door with full force. Wait if this is a full maze, then you can just something to unlock the door.

I snap my figures for light. I move my hands down the elfish writing. It basically says if I open it wrong I will be a dead man. I kiss the handle.

“Please Elfish man open thy door for your kin" I chant. Well here goes nothing. I pull the handle waiting to die. Thank the Gods that has mercy.

I put out my flames. There is a pond with something that is for sure not water. I scoop down putting my finger in the substance. I bring my finger to my nose instantly I felt warm, cold, and dread. I am goner. Good bye cruel world.

I wipe my finger on my pants. There is always a way I just have to look closely. Ohh where is a stick?  There is nothing close by.

“How the heck am I going to get across" I yell. I hear my echoe bouncing on the walls. Walls that's it! I start a small fire. There are carvings in the wall. I can climb across.

I hope up gripping the edge. I start moving across. My legs dangling underneath me. Shit I need to put out the fire.

“Die out please" the fire went out. I scoot when I find out there is a break. Oh goody gumdrops. I swing my body to the other side barely making it.

I look down, bad idea, very bad idea. I continue to move. Oh I am not going to jump back like a spider monkey onto a random platform. My hands are starting to slip. Fine I'll do it! I jump half turning to grab the ledge.

I land on my face, on the gravel. I feel some blood dripping down. I stand looking for something to get across. I spot a bridge that is half broken. Yeah more jumping! Note the sarcasm.

I walk to the edge preparing to run and jump. I stretch quickly, next time I am bringing a backpack. I take a breath in before running towards the bridge. I started to fall because I forgot to jump.

I land on something sturdy. Man am I sore probably won't be able to move for a couple of days. I look at the sinking rock that I'm on.

I quickly jump up on the rock that I missed earlier. I start rock climbing without the equipment. I vow not to look down. Am I even half way through this jumping frenzy.

I pull myself over the flat rock. Okay try to jump again.

“Ellen is that you?" Jace shouts.

“Nooooo" I yell. I jump landing on my two feet. I scramble across the bridge. Jace looks confuse. I continue to walk around.

“Ellen please don't move, wait for me" Jace pleads. I glance at him then over to myself. Way too long of a wait. I spin on my heels. I hum to myself.

I literally have to go threw a maze now. Great. I enter the maze following one path until I hit a dead end. I turn around to see it change on me.

Joy oh joy. I walk when I hear laughter behind me. No just no. Not a freakin clown. A hate clowns.

A chainsaw starts up behind me. I run down a path facing yet another dead end. I throw a ball of fire towards the noise. I saw Jace with singed eyebrows.

“There was a clown following me (jace gives me a really face) I was defending myself against a clown with a chainsaw" I try to explain. I stiff a laugh.

I turn to see the maze shift again.
