Stormi

"Damn we've already been here before!" I yelled smashing another dent in the metal wall. I looked around and noticed something. We weren't going anywhere. "Fang, we've been going in circles."

I sighed deeply, angrily and looked around for something like a camera or a control panel. "What if I flew above the maze? Then we could see where to turn." Fang suggested. This guy was a great help. No honestly, he was. He was smart and he could fly. Perfect for getting us out of this situation.

"Good idea. Go for it." I said with a nod. Swiftly, he took up into the air. A familiar tingle worked its way up my leg and finally into my body. The bastard was shocking me! I could feel my blood almost boiling and my fingers twitch.

"No cheating kids." The intercom boomed. Fang looked down, saw me clenching my jaw against the pain, and landed. Instantly, the jolt of electricity was released. The tingle started to die down. Although I was breathing heavily, I nodded toward Fang and continued. There had to be a solution to this thing.

After dodging several obstacles, I began to feel like this was a never-ending process. Perhaps they were going to kill us at the end anyway. I didn't have time to think about that though. A giant boulder had dropped behind us now. This was not only turning into a pain, but an Indiana Jones movie. Uber Wonderbar.

"Turn right." Dammit. The voice was back. Well, my voice that was inside my head was back. Quickly, I grabbed Fang's arm and jerked him to the right. The boulder kept rolling straight and then I heard a crash. Breathing heavily, I noticed we were in a dead end.

"Fang…huff huff…I'm not fit for this…" I commented with a smile.

"Huff…neither…huff…am I." he said hunching over and grabbing his knees. We both had an out-of-air laugh and turned back. The moment we did so, I heard a click. Slowly, the wall in front of us melted and another part of the maze was revealed. That would've been great had there not been at least fifty gun-wielding Erasers waiting for us.

Max

The early morning sun had awakened me from my sleep. I estimated it was about seven a.m. due to the position of the sun. Time to wake everybody up.

Slowly, I rose to my feet and rubbed my eyes to regain my bearings. Starting with the youngest, I woke everyone up. I then walked over to wake up the wolves. Sleuth was still asleep and Stormi wasn't there. Come to think of it, Fang wasn't over by the flock either…

"Everybody! Get up wake up now! Stormi and Fang are missing." I shouted grabbing my bag and throwing granola bars at everyone.

"What's going on?" Sleuth said groggily, propping himself up on his elbow. I turned quickly and smiled. He would freak if he knew his sister was missing. "My sister's missing isn't she? Guess I have to get out of bed then."

"No! Your injuries aren't…oh my gosh. They are healed." I stated noticing that the bullet hole and the scratches had left nothing. No scars even. These guys were amazing. They could heal overnight and do Eraser-y things? I would hate to go against hem…

After everyone was ready, I threw Sleuth a stick of jerky. "You'll need some energy." He smiled and downed the jerky in one bite.

"Yeah. Catching Stormi is sometimes impossible. She likes to disappear." Sleuth stated with a chuckle. His voice was typical of an Eraser's--smooth, deep, and dreamy. Wait…hadn't we already discussed this? My brain must be going into jell-o mode.

"Oh, here's your shirt. I managed to get some blood out of it. Although black doesn't show blood very well…" I muttered tossing him his shirt. He looked at it for a split second and then tossed it on top of his belongings.

"Thanks. Sorry I can't wear it yet though. My wounds have to have air circulating on them so they can dry out." he stated moving out into the forest. "Let's go."

Stormi

Shit. I looked toward Fang who was looking at me and gulped audibly. This was going to be fun. There had to be someway to take them all out. They weren't moving yet, maybe they were only supposed to shoot when we came inside the room.

"Any ideas?" I asked Fang. Quickly, his eyes did a search of the area.

"Get to the shapes. They have something to do with this." he stated taking of into the room. I followed behind him knocking out two Erasers that were trying to get at his back.

"Fang! They all have shapes on their backs!" I shouted over the grunts of some of the Erasers. I take it they didn't like guns. Most of them were doing hand-to-hand combat and only shot when close.

I jumped as two Erasers charged at me. Their heads collided and they fell over backwards, dazed. It was amazing to see that my predecessors were no older than three or four. Yet they looked like adults. They had thick skulls too. The pair that had collided with each other was now aiming their guns at me. Damn.

Quickly, I grabbed a nearby Eraser and shielded myself from the onslaught of racing bullets. I heard three shots hit the one I was holding and let him slump to the floor. Gracefully, I leapt into the air and came crashing down on top of the first Eraser's head before jumping and grabbing the other's neck with my feet.

Skillfully, I placed my hands on the ground and flipped him into the other who, on impact, went spiraling into a red square. After a short buzzing sound, holes opened in the ground and Erasers fell through howling and cursing. Ok, that worked. Only thirty-seven to go.

I looked around for more symbols but saw none. Suddenly, a furry hand grabbed my neck and began to pull at my throat. I clawed at him and bit down hard enough to draw blood. The Eraser laughed and whispered into my ear, "That's no way to treat an old friend."

Fang rammed two Eraser's heads together before seeing me. This looked great. I was being schooled by a four-year-old.

"Ari you bastard! Let her go." Fang growled. Ari chuckled again and made his grip on me tighter. Fang clenched his jaw as the Erasers all backed up toward the wall. This couldn't be good.

"Nice seeing you again Fang. How is Max? I hope she's dead by now." He seethed dropping putrid saliva on my shoulder. Fang clenched his fists and started toward him when I heard a voice behind Ari that made my heart jump.

"I wouldn't play with my sister without my permission you scum." Sleuth whispered in his ear before grabbing the back of his neck with his hand. I could feel the pressure around my neck decline as Ari gurgled. The Erasers were starting to creep forward when a sudden streak of colors emerged from behind me taking out as many Erasers as possible. The flock had come!

A new energy surged through me. With a smile, I bit down on Ari's arm to my fullest extend hearing him wail. The arm around my neck suddenly, loosened and I ducked out. Sleuth then took Ari, spun him around, and proceeded to whack him across the face with his fist.

"Don't you ever touch my sister you slob." He boomed before running to my side. "Are you ok?" I nodded and he smiled. "Good. That means I can kick the crap out of these guys." He growled launching himself on a nearby Eraser. While the others were fighting, I had time to see all of the shapes on the walls.

Quickly, I ran over to a blue triangle. As I pushed it in, the guns flew to the walls as if magnetically. Now that the guns were out of hand, there was only one thing the last shape could do.

"Fang! Hit that circle!" I yelled over the sound of punching, screaming, and growling. Fang looked up from his opponent to me and noticed that I was pointing toward the ceiling. He flung himself off the ground and looked down. "Go go!" That seemed to be enough evidence that there was no shocking in this room, for he happily pressed it in.

Ari was just about to launch himself at my throat when something tied around his wrists and ankles making him fall at my feet. I smiled manically and leaned down to whisper in his ear, "Here, you can have your spit back." I took off my over shirt and proceeded to wipe it on his face. "Oh, one more thing…" I stated as I began to walk away, "I'm not your friend!" I yelled as I kicked him in the face. He let out a menacing growl, but I couldn't help but chuckle.

"You just wait Stormi. You'll be ours before long. I'll get you and make you dog food you just wait!" He yelled as I walked out of the room behind everybody else. I'd honestly like to see him try.
