The tunnel was dark, apart from the torches hanging off the walls; we were all together, after our little swim and we were in a maze. Could it get any better?
"Great, three different paths. How can this get any better?" asked Adam
"I have to agree," said my brother
Three dark paths stood in our way of completing this maze and this game
"We are so fucked," protested Leah
In her anger, she punched the brick wall, splitting open her knuckles
"Intelligent," smiled Tori
"Oh bite me"
She ignored the pain, the blood running down her wrist and dripping down onto the ground
"Who's going what way?" asked Adam
"My little bro and I will take the left one"
"Tori and I will take the right one"
"Lucky me, I get the middle one," he smiled
"Well guys, good luck and see you soon"
Leah and Tori left us, going down the right tunnel and out of sight
"In the middle of the night," sang Adam, "I was walking through my sleep"
He too disappeared out of sight
"Well John, it's just you and me"
I followed my brother into the tunnel. Flames lit up in their brackets, lighting our way
"What can we find down here?" I asked
"Another Taxxon?"
"Hope not. My last encounter resulted in me losing a leg and Leah coming to the rescue"
"You're lucky you had Leah there. I'd say she's inherited her mother's fiery nature in battle. Handy sometimes, other times, well you see earlier"
He stopped
"Let me guess, we're gonna fight again?"
"Uh-huh"
He had already started morphing into the cheetah. I followed suit. Once I had morphed, I caught hold of an unfamiliar scent
(What is that?)
It stepped out of the darkness and I nearly jumped. The creature had two heads, similar to a Hork-Bajir. It walked about on its four legs, the toes ending in wicked looking claws, while it flicked its spiked tail
(What the hell is that?)
(Something with two heads. Well, as they say, two heads is better than one)
(But two bodies are better than one)
(Good point)
We charged at the creature, just as one head unleashed a torrent of flames
(Holy!)
We quickly backed up, away from the heads and the flames
(This will be fun)

TORI
I don't really like dark places. And they can be worse if your older sister is in a bad mood. Especially after she's split her knuckles open
"Hey Leah, how's your hand?"
"It's fine"
I'm guessing the pain had stopped, because she did not even attempt to look at it
"Okay, so you're in a bad mood. I can understand that"
"I think I would have been better with Adam. At least he didn't bug me as much"
I fell silent. It was a while again before I broke the silence
"I'm sorry"
"For what?"
"For being annoying"
"You're like that all the time, so how can you be sorry?"
But I could tell by the tone in her voice she wasn't cranky. I lightened up at that
"So how do you think Adam would go?"
"Adam can take care of himself, I'm sure. He's a guy isn't he?"
(Aaaaaahhhh. Evil weevil!)
"Was that Adam?"
"Yeah, screaming his pain out to us"
"Is he okay?"
"He should be fine. I mean, he's in a tiger morph, so he would be alright"
Hissssssss
"What was that?" I asked
"One hell of an ugly bitch"
The creature lumbered out. This one looked worse than the first creature we ever fought. Taller and uglier, spikes covered its body, fangs lined its mouth and claws grew from its spiky fingers
"This is gonna be bad, I can tell"
Leah didn't answer me. She was halfway through morphing to panther. I decided to morph into the jackal. Suddenly, I had to duck as spikes flew at my head
(Hey!)
(That's new)
Spikes were already filling in those fired out
(I hate this creature already)
(I'm gonna love this)
(Easy for you to say)
The creature lunged forward and swiped, just as Leah and I lunged at it
