{EDITED}

~~Preston's P.O.V~~
As the footsteps and the shadow got closer, I sweep my feet under their feet causing them to lose their balance. I grab their right arm, pulling it towards their back using my right feet to step on it. As I aim the bow, at their head.

"P-Preston!" A familiar Aussie accent exclaimed. My mind clicked as I removed my feet from his arm.

"Lachlan?"

~~Lachlan's P.O.V~~
(When being dropped down)
I heard screams as we plunged down the moment the platforms gave way. Could at least give us a warning! I saw the ground below me is getting closer, I position myself by bending my knees.

I landed safely on the ground with surprisingly no broken bones. I turned on the headset on my left ear as I spoke in a clear voice,"Can you guys hear me?"

"Loud and clear Lachy!" Vikk's British accent piped up. "I'm here!" Mitch announced. "Me too!" Jerome said.

"What's the plan?" Preston asked, a hint of fright in his voice. "Just try to move slowly and try to find the others. Tell us if you see anything suspicious," Vikk suggested as we all agreed to his plan.

My eyes adjusted to the dark and I spotted the hallway in front of me was straight ahead. I moved forward and make a right turn. I spotted a left turn at the end of the hallway, I continue making my way until the end as I was about to make a turn.

Someone quickly sweeps their feet under mine, making me caught off guard resulting in losing my balance. They quickly managed to grab my right arm, using their foot to press it against my back, pinning me to the floor, the air knocked out of me. And an arrow aimed right at my head.

I caught a glance of a black fire hoodie as my mind click as I shouted,"P-Preston!" The weight disappeared as his foot removed from my arm.

"Lachlan?" Preston questioned. As I sat up, using my left hand inspecting my right arm. "First of all, what the hell mate?!" I exclaimed as Preston rubbed the back of his neck with his right hand.

"Sorry, I thought you are the key holder so..." He trailed off as I sighed, using my forefingers to rub my temples. "It's alright mate," I said as Preston reached out his right hand, I accepted it and pulled me up.

I brushed off the dust from my clothes as we stood there in silence for a moment until I decided to break it. "We should tell the others," I said as I pressed the button on my left ear. "Hey guys, I found Preston," I announced as Vikk's voice ringed in,"Good just make sure to keep an eye out."

There was a click meaning that Vikk left, I followed in suite. I turn around to look at Preston, who was fiddling with his fingers. "How are we suppose to see in this dark?" I heard Preston mumble. I look at him and he must have caught me staring and gave me a questioning look.

"Couldn't you just make a fire of your hands?" I explained as Preston flushed in embarrassment, I rolled my eyes at him. "I'll try..." Preston answered with uncertainty.

After a few attempts, he manages to make a fire at a size of his palm. I stepped out of the way as Preston gave me a puzzled look. "Well, you have the light, lead the way mate!" I joked as Preston rolled his eyes in annoyance, walking forward with me following behind.

"You're such a prickly cactus..." I heard him growled under his breath. "Well I'm sorry if I'm too good for you," I sassily sway my hips and attempted a hair flip.

Preston chuckled as we walked around the depths and darkness of the maze with only his fire to guide us through...

~~Jerome's P.O.V~~
"Okay...Jerome just take deep and slow breaths," I spoke to myself. Inhaling a fresh of oxygen entering my lungs, and finally breathing out. Well, time to go and find the others! I thought to myself as I make left and right turns around the maze.

After 30,000 years, okay maybe not that long but it seems like that long! I saw a light from the corner of eyes. Curious, I walk towards the light source and saw a chest in the middle of the 8 stone bricks surrounding the chest.

Checking my surroundings, I stand on my tippy toes and, you guessed it, tiptoed to the chest. (A/N: Haha! Sorry not sorry for breaking the fourth wall) I climbed over and opened the chest. To reveal a diamond axe, it's in mint condition and I saw my reflection on it.

"I'm going to call you Betty," I murmured to myself as I strapped it on my belt. I looked around and heard footsteps approaching this way. I quickly ran and hid behind a wall as I heard the footsteps getting closer.

But then all of a sudden, I was flung to the wall, a warm liquid oozed out from my head. And the scent of metallic danced in my nose. I looked up and saw a girl with long black, silvery hair, one crazy menacing purple eye and red eye. She wore all black, a neck collar dress with long sleeves on her hands. Half of her skin was like an enderman...

"Cry all you want 'cause no one is going to rescue someone as pathetic as-"

Images and flashbacks of the men and my dad.

Jerome watched the man pierced the knife into his dad's chest. Blood splattered out on the floor and the man.

I felt myself crying as I bring my knees closer to my chest and wept.

"DAD!!!"

I was too busy crying that I didn't realise she was right in front of me. "Aw...look at Jerome being all teary," she moked at me as she insanely smiled and grabbed my shoulder...

~~Rob's P.O.V~~
I have been wondering around this maze and it seems is like I'm walking in circles! I hate mazes... I sighed as I continue making twist and turns. Then I hear the voice in the speaker, "You know Jerome? You probably don't know me but if you want to see him again, go to the left side of the maze. I'd be waiting~"

Then an insane laughed crackled before I heard the sound of the headset breaking. "Guys! We need to find him!" Mitch screeched.

Guess that he must have heard it too.

"No doubt Rob," a new voice makes me jump and I spun around to see Vikk. "You got to stop doing that!" I yelled at Vikk as he shrugs, smiling.

"Guys found Rob-a-dob!" Vikk exclaimed in the headset as I saw a light coming from the left corner. I nudge Vikk and gestured him towards the light. He nodded and we got into a fighting stance.

As the light turns a corner, we lunged forward then the light went off as we tackled them, leaving us in darkness. Then the light was alighted then I realise it was Preston, who lit up the light, which was his flame.

"Lachy!/Robbie?/Vikky!/Preston!" We shouted then I realised I was on top of Preston, our faces an inch close, our noses touching. "S-sorry," I apologised as I hastily got off of Preston, in a blushing mess.

I saw a glance of Vikklan was on top of each other. I pointed my thumb towards the Vikklan duo as Preston got himself up. He silently squealed at the cuteness of them.

I coughed and they break their glance of never-ending glance. "Sorry to ruin the moment but we need to find-" Before I could finish my sentence, I was tackled by none other than Mitch. "Mitch!" I snapped at him as the weight got lifted off me.

"Sorry my bad but we have to get to Jerome!" Mitch spoke in worry in his tone as he pulled me up. I heard Preston growled under his breath as we held hands. I shrugged it off as Vikk spoke,"We should be careful when we get there, Lachy are able to see above the walls?"

Lachlan went to the wall and tiptoed, his head probably able to see. "Yep! So we're near the centre just take a right then a left and head straight on," he explained.

We nodded with Preston leading the way, Vikk, Lachlan, me and Mitch striding behind.

We're coming for you, Jerome.
