"Thank you!" She squealed and turned to thank the snake properly, but he wasn't there. Puzzled, Kat looked around before hearing a foreboding hiss from the ground. She jumped back just as the snake struck at her leg, missing her by centimeters. She could now see his long fangs, one with a drop of venom on the end.

Kat ran, not caring which way she went as long as it was away from the snake. How could he? He seemed so nice!

Kat forced herself to slow down as she realized that, somewhere, the thorns had given way to black stone walls. She noticed she was staring at several open pathways.

Eenie, menie, miney, mo, she thought. She chose the path to her right and moved quickly through the archway. A rumble, like rocks grinding against each other, sounded behind her. Kat turned to see a section of the wall shift and the opening she had just walked through was covered. For a moment she simply stood, open mouthed, staring at the solid wall. She growled in frustration and continued down the path.

"How could you expect me to get though this giant maze when you are changing things?" She yelled to the empty air. A feminine chuckle echoed off the rock walls. She doesn't expect me to get through, Kat thought, she expects me to give up.

"I won't give up! Just figured I would let you know."

Another rumble of rock-on-rock caught Kat's attention. Another wall moved, closing off the path ahead and revealing what looked like a dead end. Her green eyes glared at the cloudy sky as she moved into the freshly opened area. Sure enough there was nowhere to go; the only opening was behind her. She rolled her eyes and turned around, only to find herself boxed in.

"This isn't fair!" There had been no noise this time and Kat realized that Natalia was toying with her. "Freaking psycho blonde…" she grumbled under her breath.

"You shouldn't speak of our mistress that way." Kat spun around, her hair flying over her shoulders. Two identical hooded figures stood in front of two equally similar doors, the space that had been an empty wall.

"Choose a door. One leads to what you seek, the other to death," one of the figures said. It had a breathy voice, as if they couldn't get enough air. "We can only answer one question but be warned, one of us is always truthful and one tells not but untruths."

Kat wondered if they could answer a question each but that would be a stupid way to waist a question. She waited, expecting the voice to go on but apparently it was done with its instruction. She was left to think in silence. After several moments Kat believed she had the right question. She moved to stand in front of one of the figures, so it would be obvious which one the question was for.

"Would your friend tell me that this door leads to the city?" She asked, almost the same question her mother had asked 30 years before.

"Yes."

Kat quickly walked to the other door, "This one please."

The figure nodded, "Wise question. Our mistress will be most disappointed."

"Good," Kat said as she pushed the door open and walked through, "psycho bitch needed a good wake up caAAH!" The last word became a scream as the floor dropped out from under her, again. Unlike before, however, she did plummet.

A/N: YAY new chapter! Ironically I'm watching the anime one of my other stories is based on (FMA). Maybe when I get yet another copy of Labyrinth (somehow every time I get a new one it vanishes) I'll get inspiration for that story.

P.S. You what's really annoying? I have a large chunk of this story already written, by hand in notebooks.... the kicker? They're ALL at my mom's house (I currently live at school)
