CHAPTER 9:
Mighty looked off into the distance to see Cutie running away, she had threatened her a few seconds ago, and she looked off into the distance until she could no longer see her body in the distance, then she looked down at the hard ground.
Thank the mods she's finally freaking gone! She sighed in relief.
She took off her backpack and set it down. She opened the backpack to reveal a few fruits. A bright, red, beautiful apple, an orange, and a bunch of grapes combined together.
She grabbed the bunch of grapes and put 5 in her mouth and ate it. Mighty wasn't that hungry anyways. But now she needed something to drink, and she was very thirsty. Running around the maze wasn't easy because you needed to have your eyes peeled on everything. Anything could pop out at anytime, friendly or not.
She put the remaining bunch of grapes back into her backpack and stood up. She slowly walked through the maze. It was midday, and there were only a few more hours until the sun would set, and she would have to sleep or else the monster of the maze would get to her, and there was no spawning at night.
She looked side to side, nothing was in sight yet.
But Mighty was shocked when she found a small puddle.
The water was clear and very clean, and it was drinkable.
She gasped.
The reason why she's been acting weird was her trying to have food, she knows she's never that rude, but she knows she has to survive. Even if friendship couldn't help her survive and she was on her own.
Friends can't be with you all the time.. You have to manage being a loner. She thought.
She thought of the happy memories she, Cutie, and the others had.
Hugging, talking, the party which got ruined by Cutie being a savage...
Mighty remembered all of that.
She got on her knees and looked down at the water.
It was so clear she could even see her own reflection in the small pond!
She grabbed some water in her hands and began to drink out of them, since she didn't have a bottle or anything to help her drink it more in a 'classic' way.
Even if I don't have a water bottle... I'm glad I have this water all to myself! She thought happily.
After a few minutes she finally drank the sustained amount of water but most of the water was still in the pond. But Mighty decided that she would save more of that water for later. She didn't want to use it all up at one point.
Oh but wait! In the corner of her eye she saw an empty water bottle. It looked like it wasn't being used at all. Mighty got to her feet and walked to the bottle and picked it up.
This is perfect!
She put the bottle on top of the water which floated right on top, then she scooped the water into the bottle, water gathering inside of the bottle.
She twisted the cap on top of the bottle.
She smiled.
It was the first time in days that she actually smiled.
Ever since she was forced to go to this stupid maze.
Mighty got up again from her crouching position and put the bottle in her backpack among with the other fruits.
She began to go on her journey again.
She was walking through a straight path.
But then, she saw something.
There was a dead end with a beautiful, single fruit on the tree.
The fruit was something she'd never seen before.
A golden apple! Wait, is that real? Thoughts of wonder and curiosity came to her mind as she approached the eye-catching apple. Her mouth was drooling.
Literally drooling.
She finally approached the apple and touched it,
It was shiny enough that she could see her own reflection through the apple and she was very shocked by the beauty of the apple! It was like as if she were in some 'fantasy' setting!
But the next thing she attempted was to pull it off the tree so she could have the apple all to herself.
She began to pull the apple from the tree, but it wasn't like any ordinary apple.
It was very hard to pull it out from the tree but she kept on trying to pull it.
"Hnngggg!" She heaved and grunted, but there was still no effect.
She kept on grunting and pulling on the apple with a lot of strength, when finally, the apple broke free of the tree's grip and Mighty fell on her back with the apple in her hands. It was bigger than a normal apple.
And it was one of the most beautiful things that she has ever seen. Just by looking at it, she fell in love.
So much love that her eyes filled up with tears of happiness.
She hugged the apple and kept it close to her body. She didn't want anybody to take the very precious apple.
But then, there was danger.
The ground began shaking and rumbling, and she was lying down right on the floor with the golden apple in her arms.
"!"
Oh shit I have to get out of this damned place! She thought in shock and worry.
She got up on her feet carefully and she was feeling like a clumsy person.
She could fall over at any second. But the shaking got more intense and the tree was cracking. Worst part was that the ground was starting to crack too!
Big cracks.
The cracks then revealed a pool of burning lava, it was waiting for Mighty's demise, and now she was scared for her life. And the cracks were heading for her. She quickly ran outside of the maze room and into the hall of the maze.
The cracks took the tree and the room down and they fell deep into the hot, red lava.
She was lucky to have escaped, with her backpack, her bottle, and her golden apple besides her.
I feel like a survivor for the first time that I have ever been on this planet. And I want to be that way.
