A Few Weeks Later...

Aphmau and Katelyn have fit in just fine. No trouble whatsoever. Of course, guys (like Travis) flirted with them, but if anyone ever flirted with Katelyn, someone was going down (Travis only flirted with Katelyn. He has had at least one black eye, one lost tooth and one fractured wrist. Wow, that girl can hit). "Hey! Laurance!" Someone exclaims. I turn my head and look in the direction of the voice. I see Vylad running my way, "Hey, Pea." I ruffle his hair. "Don't call me that!" Vylad exclaims as he slaps my hand away. I chuckle, then lower my hand, "What's up?" I ask. Vylad pants a bit, "Travis wants to see you." Vylad says. I crouch down to his level, him being the youngest and all. "Thanks for telling me." I flash him a smile, then walk off. "Wait, Laurance!" Vylad exclaims loudly. I turn around, "Good luck." Vylad wishes. He gives me a smile, then runs off. I turn around and rush off to Travis. I knock on the bamboo door, "Travis?" I question. "Come in!" He exclaims from the inside. I cautiously open the door and dip down thru the small opening. I close the door behind me and sit on one of the rubber mat, "You called?" I question. "Yup!" Travis chirps happily, "So what do you need?" I ask. "I want to--" Travis starts. The door flies open, cutting Travis off, "Travis... Travis...! Jeffory, he's hurt!" A man with black hair exclaims. He's the one that was mean to me. Travis' eyes widen as him and I both scramble off the floor and follow the man, "Aaron, what happened?" Travis questions as we run over to the maze's entrance. "Jeffory got stung...!" Aaron (I think) informed. Travis grunts with frustration as we start to slow down. Once the three of us reach Jeffory, he glares at me. Garroth is holding Jeffory by the pits (A/N: lol sorry I didn't know what else to put), "Jeffory!" Travis exclaims. He rushes over to the brunette, "Let go of me, blondie!" Jeffory growls. He wiggles out of Garroth's grasp and tackles me to the ground. I stare up at him with wide eyes, "J-Jeffory?" I stutter. I feel a fist whip across my face, "This is your fault!" He yells into my face. He punches me again, "Die! Die! Die! This is all your fault!" He punches me more. I wince as a bit of blood spills from my mouth. I try to fight back, but I can't. "Jeffory, stop!" Katelyn cries. "Dude...! Stop that!" Nate (A/N: yes I'm adding Nate for a bit) scolds "Jeffory!" Garroth yells. "You're no longer a runner!" Travis chides. Nate, Travis and Garroth pull Jeffory off of me. Katelyn ties his wrist with rope, "You're into the maze tonight." Travis growls, then trudges off, taking Jeffory to the bamboo jail. Garroth takes my arm and leads me to the small clinic. Zane rushes over to me, "Laurance! What happened?" He asks. I wince, "Jeffory happened." I reply. Zane doesn't ask further questions before walking off to get someone else. A man with black hair and green eyes walks in, "Hi, I'm Brendan." The man greets. "Laurance." I mumble. Brendan looks at my face and gasps, rushing over to me, "What happened?" Brendan asks. "Jeffory beat me up for no reason." I inform. "Oh..." Brendan murmurs, "Ok! Well.... I'm sorry for this, but this needs to happen." Brendan raises his fist. "Please forgive me!" He then whips his fist across my face.

Everything goes black

Everything goes numb.
