Chapter 12
Jenny silently prayed as the growling grew closer. She could hear as the shuffling of whatever had been following them came nearer. She could only imagine what was going to happen to them when that growling got to them.
Jenny turned her head slightly to where Angel had been when the torched blew out, "Angel, do you know what's following us?"
"Guardian, it's a guardian of the labyrinth." He mumbled deep in thought.
"Guardian?" She whispered as realization began to dawn on her. If she was remembered her Greek mythology...
"No." she groaned and further added insult to injury by adding, "And what exactly is a guardian of the labyrinth?"
"Come, come now Jenny. Didn't you learn anything in your Greek Mythology class? What usually resides in labyrinth?" Julian flippantly put in moving next to her. Even with most of his shadow powers gone he seemed to be able to see fine in the darkness.
"You are so impossible." Jenny declared and shoved at the air in front of her. She grinned triumphantly when her hand contacted with denim.
"Will you two shut up." Angel huffed as he came to stand with the duo. "In case you've forgotten we have some business to attend to right now, as in minotaur business." If Jenny didn't know any better she would have thought that there was a twinge of jealousy in that bossy voice, but it couldn't be. Could it?
"I vote that we get the hell out of here. This minotaur thing hasn't gotten here yet so let's move." Julian said obviously resenting the fact that he had been reprimanded by Angel.
Jenny took her back pack off her shoulder and pulled out an industrial sized flashlight. "I second that vote." She said draping the backpack over her holder and turning the light on. The labyrinth was immediately illuminated in a bright light that seemed to pierce the darkness surrounding them.
"You had that thing the whole time?" Angel asked incredulously as Jenny began to walk..
She shrugged remaining silent.
"I forgot I had it. So sue me." she resorted sometime later.
Julian fell into step behind her and held out his hand, "Maybe I should take the backpack for a while before you forget that you have something else."
"Oh fine," she said removing the backpack from her shoulder and tossing it to him. "But I'm keeping the flashlight."
Both Angel and Julian sighed shaking their heads. This was never going to end.
