13: What is this place?

We've been walking through these empty, dark, humid, scary tunnels for atleast 2 hours. It seems to end up no where. It's like a maze.

Finally, one hallway ends and splits up into two on either side.
I give a daring look at Keith and he just looks back, with a blank face.
Gosh. Why did I get him into this mess...

"We split up." He says clearly, not stuttering.

"You sure?" I say, looking at the long hallway behind me.

"Yes. You can fly now, right?" I nod.
"Good, so if you see anything just yell my name of send some kind of power over to my side." He points to the hallway behind him. He seems so insecure but he looks so blank. This is strange. The last time I saw him like this was when after the attack.

I turn around quickly and start walking. I can just feel his eyes stare at me.

"Wait-" he interrupts the silence.

I turn Around and walk back to him.

"Yes?"

"Be safe. Please." He lowers his head and gives me a small kiss on my forehead and goes in for a hug.
I reach in for the hug too, knowing I'm going to need it for the next few hours of alone time.

We finally release, and he stares into my eyes, finally showing a worried expression. I give him a brave smile and turn around, walking into the long hallway.

I remember long walks like this when I was little. My mom and I would always walk to the dandelion field and walk farther where no one has explored, as in big fields of grass, leading to a small river and scattered trees. She would always take a basket in case we find some pretty flowers and some cool stones. I found this one stone near the river. It had streaks of this blue and some grey. My mom told me it looked like my eyes. So she took the stone and turned into a pendant. I still wear it now.

I play with the necklace with my fingers.

My mom was always creative. Once, we walked into the fields and found a large amount of these purple peonies. She picked some off and made a flower crown. She used her power to freeze the flowers so they wouldn't wilt or die. It was so beautiful.

My torch starts to die off. Crap. The last spark dies off and now it's dark. I'm just left with myself, and a burnt log. I could probably use it for self defense. It's so dark tho, I can barely see my hands Infront of me.

Rocks on the ground shake. They start shaking going everywhere. The walls start shaking. It looks as if I'm going to get caved in! With out second thought, I start running as far as I can. I take a look behind, and the ceiling starts collapsing towards me. I run faster, using some of the flight that I can use.

This tunnel never ends!

I stop running and just fly towards, of what seems like, the end of the hallway. DEAD END. Dammit!! I look all around, and I don't see anyway out.

I look around franticly. I'm going to get stuck in here and die.

There must be a switch or lever somewhere on these walls!!!

I'm touching the walls like a blind person and then I feel something poking out of the wall... I push it in I flick it up I flick it down---

Finally, I was able to pull it out of the wall and it opened a whole wall!!! I ran to what it seems like another hall way... The hall behind me had completely collapsed , so that means I only have one way ....

This also seems like one of those endless tunnels. It's boring and long. It's dark and cold. The only thing in my mind is Keith. His face was so.... Blank. I'm worried about him right now.
What if his tunnel collapsed too? What if he got caved in?!
Is he dead?!
My head is spinning. I'm feeling so dizzy just thinking about Keith.

I pick up my pace a little bit. I feel like I've been in here for a day. Out of the dark, a light is beaming at the end of the hall way. My escape!!! I run towards to light. It enters into a huge room with a large mirror along one wall but the Other walls are just white. There's nothing in here. I stare at myself in the mirror, and think. My jeans are torn and there's blood stains on them. My shirt has holes and so much dirt and blood stains on it. My hair. I'm not going to talk about by hair. It's so messy and frizzy. There's leaves in it. And blood. Oh look, I just talked about my hair. My face looks like I had been in a deadly fight. I'm done criticizing myself. I make my way towards the exit when it slams shut in my face.
"NO! Dammit! No...." I yelled. Im so tired my voice hurts. Im trapped. I look all around me, but there's nothing in here except me and my reflection on the wall. I'm so tired... I just need to sit down.
I can't think straight. My mind and my body aches in pain. I feel so freaking light headed. Maybe if I close my eyes---

Keith's POV

This tunnel seems to never end. I've been walking for probably 3 hours. I regret splitting up with Beatrice. I was so scared I didn't want her to get scared either. Hopefully she's ok. Either way, I shouldn't be scared. I've practiced all my life when I went hiking and cave exploring. This would always happen to me.

Finally after what seemed like 3 hours, I can see a light hanging above a white door. I run faster to it. I try to open the door but the lock is jammed. I had nothing else to use, so I couldn't think of anything else but to slam myself I into the door. I could give it a try.

Stepping back, I cracked my bones and got ready for the impact.
1, 2, 3
I ran as fast as I could and I body slammed myself into the door, knocking the door down.

Plaster flew around everywhere. Dust make thick clouds in the (what it seemed like) room. I coughed my way away from the debris.

I was so dizzy from that impact, I need to regain my conscious.

The thick clouds of dust had finally dissapeared, and I was able to search the room.

"Beatrice!!" I screamed and ran to the thick glass that viewed Into another room. Beatrice was laying on the floor. I tried to hit the glass as hard as I can to awake her, but it didn't work. Is she dead?! She couldn't be!! I started to panic. My face became hot and wet with tears. If Beatrice dies, it will be my fault. I can't imagine a life without her. I would be so desperate, blank, and emotion-less. She's my everything thing that has ever happened to me. My life would be over.
