Yeah," Ariyan agreed,"So stop wasting our time. Give me the key, I'll do it myself." Ariyan walked towards James. But something changed in James's expression. Anger. "No. I'm going to try to use the key for the door. I know you guys don't agree, but I think it's worth a shot." He turned around on his wheelchair and headed toward the door.

"NOOO! It could be a trap!" Rose yelled. But she was too late, James had already put the key in.

Click

The door opened.

"It worked!" James said,"I told you guys th-"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~cont.

But James's voice stopped working. The others saw a body of darkness emerge behind him. It grabbed James, and James's eyes went dark. James started to speak, but it wasn't his voice. "You will never win. If the gods think that some mortals can overthrow me, they're even more stupid than I imagined. Here, let me give you a taste of my powers."

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Frost yelled. But it was too late. The shadow spread its darkness across the room, coating the walls and shutting the door, taking James with him.

Frost finally realized what the monster had done. Because he couldn't breathe.

Everyone was terrified, and then even more terrified when they realized that the room didn't have any oxygen.

Frost wanted to scream and yell, but it would just waste whatever oxygen he had left over from his last breath. Everyone else seemed to have the same thought process, except for Ariyan.

"Arghhhhhhh!!! NOOOOO!!!!!! WHY!!! What the-" and started cursing.

Frost was going to die. He knew it. He could feel the air pressuring down on his chest, pushing him to release his last breath. He could feel it escape from his lungs, and he could feel his body falling. Falling? That couldn't be right, Frost thought, through a muddled haze. It wasn't like normal falling, as if some of the gravity had been removed from the room. It was sluggish, like his body was sinking down to the bottom of a pool, slowly, slowly.

Wait, Frost thought, the key. I can't lose myself now. He forced himself to stay awake, alive. The others were blurry figures floating in the room, he couldn't even recall their names. The key. He somehow managed to float himself to the door, where the key was still hanging. He could feel himself slipping away, his limbs turning to lead hanging by his sides, from the lack of oxygen.

Just as he was about to give up, he felt a hand on his shoulder. A girl was

floating towards him, her pale hand reaching for the key alongside him. Her eyes struck a chord in him, and he remembered what he was doing. I can't give up just yet. She yanked the key out of the keyhole and started propelling herself towards the ceiling? What is she doing there? Frost's thoughts became more and more clouded as the seconds passed by. Why? Why couldn't he breathe?

Frost turned around, surprised to see that the scary girl had fainted. Oh no. The key was floating in the air, falling slowly. Get the key. He kicked the door to push himself through the thick air and grab the key. He didn't trust his arms to work, it had been what, two minutes now? He only had a minute for him and everyone else to make it out alive. He grabbed the key with sluggish hands and found his way to the keyhole. He tried to get the key in, and tried so hard to muster all the remaining strength in him to just turn the lock. I-I can't do it. Frost tried to keep his hands moving as his consciousness started to slip away.

He dimly heard a click, and oxygen, sweet merciful oxygen, came flooding into the room. Frost took gulping breaths, feeling his body wake up again, and saw the others doing the same. He only then realized the strangeness in the scenario in which he was in. Not only had all the air been sucked out of a room by a shadowy figure - which had also kidnapped James -, some of the gravity had been removed by it as well, causing them all to float.

Frost forgot to register one thing, though. That sweet merciful oxygen? It was coming from the now non-existent floor. He was falling in slow motion again, but this time with some clarity. The real floor was about 20 feet below him, and he was grateful for the absence of some of the gravity. They landed in another dark room, with a gilded golden gate in the front, though none of them could see what was behind it.

They landed spread out, and only slightly conscious on the floor. Frost realized he was at the bottom of this heap, and when gravity was back to normal, he would be carrying a lot of weight.

The others woke up a little more before this could happen, thankfully. Cammie turned a bright shade of red when he realized he was lying entirely above Elyse, and scrambled off of her, floating down to the floor in a flustered mess. Rasi let out a half-conscious laugh, and dragged herself up and stood next to Cammie. Watching her more closely, it looked like gravity had returned back to normal as soon as she stood up, and for Cammie as well.

The rest of them started to stand up, and started subconsciously drifting towards the gate, their only light source in another dark room. Rose rubbed her eyes, stood up, and was about to lean on the gate for support but Aspen lunged forward and stopped her from touching the gold.

"We don't know what the gate could do!" She scolded, looking very much like an overprotective mother. "It could teleport us somewhere! A trap!"

Rose brushed her off. "Yeah, yeah, mom." She turned red when she realized what she had just called the older girl, and hid her face in her hands. Aspen looked pleasantly surprised with the new nickname.

"Wouldn't we want to go there?" Elyse said. Aspen looked horrified.

"What if it goes to where James went?" Aspen warned. Elsye stared at the ground, emotionless.

"If we don't touch the gate, how will we get out?" For all of his yelling, Ariyan had a point.

Something gold gleamed on the floor. Frost walked over to it, and picked it up. It was the key, the one that they had worked so hard to get, that damned key. Frost observed it, and then had an idea, he didn't know if it would work at all, but there was no point in not trying.
He walked over to the gate, did the thing even have a keyhole? The others saw him go to it, but he ignored their warnings. He found a keyhole, hidden in the meaningless patterns on the gate. He slid the key in, careful to not touch the gate, and twisted it. The gate began to open, they jumped back to avoid its doors.

Inside, or were they outside?, was what looked to be a giant maze.
