Lil'T P.O.V
We started walking, and we had no absolute clue where the hell we were going. It was dark, pitch black, even with the lantern. It was like we were at a dark sea abyss. I was scared to death, if the crews weren't here I would have been already crying.
I couldn't let them see weakness, I had to stay strong.
I was supposed to be the little sister of Taye. Taye is remarkably strong and courageous. She fearlessly snapped us back into our senses.
Taye really isn't scared of anything.
This is one of the reasons why I look up to her. If it wasn't for her we would be stuck back there wallowing in our fear, feeling sorry for ourselves. I should really be thankful to have such an amazing sister.
"Where are we going?I don't see anything!" Miss Aubrey scowls.
"Hey we had to do something, there is got to be a way out," Bodie says.
"Tan says this is a Labyrinth No? Based on greek mythology? Princesa and I has studied about it before," Angel says.
"Why did you guys study it?"
"Daddy wants the best education for his little girl" Aubrey says with a smile. Which makes me gag a little.
"Well if you know soooo much about it, then why don't you get us out of here," says Emilia rolling her eyes.
"How am I supposed to know? A labyrinth was made to fool you. The best you can do is not think."
"Yea, not think...that makes sense...Awesome..."Glitch says rolling his eyes. The crews really don't get along.
It seemed forever, as if we were walking for miles on the same spot. Everyone started huffing and sweating like they just ran all around the world. Imagine getting tired out of a good 14 mile run, now imagine it one million times worse. Yup, that's how it feels. We started growing weary.
"Okay I'm done! I shall not waste my sweet time and energy on this!" Jaryn yells stopping.
"We haveta keep'n movin! Or we'll nevah git otta here!" Mo tells her.
"Its not like we were getting anywhere in the first place! and don't dare speak to my sister in such a rude way!"Kerith says defending his sister.
"Oh common guys, we can't just stay here."
"NO..."They both say in unison.
What were we going to do?
I mean we can't just LEAVE them...can we? No, if we didn't stick together we'd be toast! I mean I wouldn't say I like these losers but...hey, they are all I've got.
After a few seconds of silence a miracle given by the lords angels happens.
A little light shines in the distance.
A little speck of light, no bigger than a book.
But that speck meant hope...hope that there is...a future.
We ran, ran like there was no tomorrow. We forgot about all of our throbbing legs. We were so happy to see that light. The speck became bigger and bigger and our hope became stronger and stronger.
As we walked into the white light, we were stunned. It was so bright! And wandering around in black darkness for some time does NOT help. As our eyes adjusted we find ouselves on the stage of a gameshow studio with millions of blue seats, but no one sitting on it.
Music blared , spotlights blazed, and we hear the audience cheer but we couldn't see had blue glitter, and colorful streamers flew from the ceiling, which was just black darkness. Then what stunned me was a robot. It had the silver robot body of a huge lion, wearing glittery accents (accessories,jewelry) of blue, and a tech human head, we couldn't tell if it was a girl or boy. It wasn't like the human robot we have seen but it was a...
"Sphinx..."I said aloud. It was weird seeing it robot style. Dr. Tan has gotten creative with his work. The Sphinx began to speak in a low gameshow voice,
"Welcome lucky contestants! get ready to play...ANSWER THAT QUESTION!" and the invisible audience goes crazy. "If you win you will win a passageway, If you miss a question you will stay here...forever."
...That didn't sound good.
"First question, Your casualty has a weak rapid pulse, pale skin, is cold and clammy, Do you suspect Asphyxia?" the sphinx says in a low voice, fast rapid pace.
"What da hell?"Mo says. "Is that your final answer?" the robot sphinx responds.
"NONONO!"
"No, It is shock, not asphyxia" Bodie and Emila says and we look at them amazied. I guess we were lucky haveing lifeguards with us.
"That is wrong!" it says. "WHAT NO IT ISN'T!" Bodie says.
"scanning, scanning, brrrr, COMPLETE...THAT IS wr-CORRECT!" Its says. Then the invisible audience cheers.
"Next question, Using the SQL GROUP BY phrase with a SELECT statement can help detect which problems?"
"What da hell?" says Taye. "Is that your final answer?", "NONONO!"
Glitch steps forward and I look at him as if he was crazy. He answers confidently saying,
"The inconsistent values problem."
"That is wr-brr-brr -scanning,- scanning, *ktch ktch* COMPLETE...That is WR-wr CORRECT!" The sphinx says now twitching. Sparks began flaring, and now it didn't talk normally. I guess it wasn't programmed to say CORRECT.
"NextQ-QQ Question , Who-"
"HOW MANY QUESTIONS ARE THERE?" Taye asks sternly.
"Next Q-QQQuesttion, What is made of 4 letters,yet is also made up of 3, Although is written with 8 letters, and then with 4, rarely consists of 6, and never is written with 5?"
...
What da hell?
We were completely stumped. That question made no sense. We all thought long and hard and it was silent. Then the jeopardy music came on, which pressured us even more. But before we were gonners the unlikely of persons stepped up.
Mo stepped forward and everyone gasped,
What ever he said would equal either a way out, or imprisonment forever.
He took a deep breath, everyone was listening intently, because
the words he said would determine our fate.
"Everything is true, What equals four letters, yet equals three letters, although, eight letters, then, four, rarely has six letters, never is written wit' 5. Yo' jus 'xplained how many letters are 'n each word."
We stared at Mo wide eyed in shock. He just grinned in pride. Who knew he was that wise?
The robot sphinx started to twitch, shortage, head spinning, and make strange noises. All of which are not good signs for technology. It started to move strangely.
"T-TH-THAT I-IS-IS *ktcchh ktcchh* WR-WR-W CO-CORRECT," after it said that it basically exploded. Fire blazed from all of the sparking. The invisible audience didn't cheer. But streamers fell again and horns blared.
The lights dimmed and we could see a tunnel, was this our way out?
Then a silver hovercraft came *beep beep* and with giant robot claws took the sphinx. Before it left a voice recording said,
"This is not the end, do you think this is the last of your troubles? It is not, there will be more obstacles and how you will ever leave, WILL BE AT MY DISCRETION. MUAHAHAHAH."
The hover craft left and it turns pitch black again. The only light was our trusted lantern and the passageway.
Will we ever get out?
What 'obstacles'... will we be facing?
Will this end happily? Or into imprisonment forever?
Has our fate already been decided?
There was nothing we could do to answer our questions. The only thing we could do is...
Move forward, and don't look back.
There may be many hardships. But as long as we had the light of the passageway, There will always be a future.
As long as we had each other, We will never be alone.
To be continued...
-If you didn't know already. The lantern=hope. The passageway=the future, The crew members=the friends and family that are there to do the journey with you.
-There will be more character P.O.V's
-Please review~ Thank you.
