"Alright!" Ria shouted. Startling Elsa who was already extremely nervous.
"Please tell me this is going to be easy." Elsa mumbled.
"NOPE!" came the enthusiastic reply. "Today is your first day of training. Since the tasks are random I'm not really much help. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see."
The lights went out and Elsa jumped, grabbing Ria's sleeve in fear. Ria smiled and put her hand on Elsa's to try and calm her friend. A moment later the lights were back on and a letter was sitting on a small table in the middle of the room that hadn't been there before. Silence filled the room before Elsa spoke.
"... What-" She spoke before she was interrupted.
"It's a little cliche but it gets the job done." Ria laughed as she picked up the letter and tore it open.
"Today's task is simple." Ria read aloud in her best impersonation of the principle, making Elsa giggle. "Each room will be called one by one to the grand maze. They will be given instructions then."
"I-I don't understand." Elsa stated quietly.
"Well. The uh… the grand maze is a bit much for your first time but… uh well I suppose it can't be helped." Ria said in deep thought.
"What? You-you're not making any sense." Elsa said.
"OH! Right sorry. I forgot you haven't seen the grand maze since it's usually closed off. Well It's pretty much just that, a giant maze. The walls reach from ceiling to floor." Ria explained with a smile. "One of us will be put in front of a monitor with the maze on it and the other in the maze. The one in front of the monitor has to instruct the other out of the maze."
Elsa nodded in understanding. "So we just wait?"
"Yep and since you're new, I'll go in the maze and you can show me the way out. Just remember the only thing you need to concentrate on is the maze, Ok?"
"Sure?" Elsa said but Ria's words had caused a bit of concern in the back of her mind.
***Perfect***
They had been waiting in a small office room for 20 minutes. The room had two doors, no windows, and a single table in the center of the room. Elsa and Ria sat side by side in two of the many chairs that were placed strategically throughout the room. Suddenly one of the doors opened and the principle walked out.
"Hello Girls." He said with a laugh. Ria and Elsa both stood as two men in scrubs walked out from behind the large man. Elsa shied away and moved behind Ria, grabbing the back of her black cotton jacket.
"I see you two are getting along well. These men will prepare you for the Maze." He smiled before turning and walking away.
"Um-Sir? Since I've already done this, we can get ready on our own. If that's Ok?" Ria asked.
"Of you prefer." He said nodding at the other men who then set two large brief cases on the round table before they all left. Ria immediately opened the case marked "Seer" and pulled out a headset before she beckoned Elsa over. when Elsa got close enough Ria began putting the headset on her. she then Pulled out a large laptop computer that she placed on the table before she moved a chair in front of it.
"Sit down." She instructed with a smile. Elsa did as she was told and watched as Ria pulled out a matching headset from the other box marked "Runner" and put it on herself. She then pulled out gloves and sunglasses. both of which she immediately put on. She then closed both boxes and placed them under the table before kneeling in front of Elsa.
"Now, this isn't gonna be easy for you, but I need you to promise not to move from this spot. No matter what you hear just concentrate on getting me out. Ok?" Ria said in a calming tone.
"But-I… I thought it was just a maze?" Elsa stated in fear.
"It is… For you. Just don't worry about me. We're going to work through it... together." Rai smiled. She leaned forward and gave Esa a reassuring hug before she pulled away and stood up again. She walked to the door and opened it, standing in the doorway looking back at Elsa.
"See you in a bit snowflake." She said with a smile before she left the room through the same door the other men left from. When the door closed Elsa was filled with sudden fear and doubt.
