What the...
“This way,” said Chastity and pulled me off the elevator.
“Is this the right floor?” asked Madison.
Chastity ignored her and pulled me down a hallway. The walls were suddenly stone. And the farther we walked, the darker everything grew. We took a few more turns.
“I think we’re lost,” said Frankie.
I nodded. “Agreed. Let’s backtrack to the elevator.” We tried to take the same turns, but the elevator was nowhere in sight. And everything was just even darker.
“Yeah, we’re definitely lost,” said Madison.
“Oh my,” said Chastity. “Are we in some kind of underground labyrinth? Oh no.” She didn’t sound very surprised by this.
A labyrinth? Really? “Damn it! I should have brought a string. What were we thinking going into a labyrinth without a string?!”
I froze when I heard footsteps echoing down the hall.
“Who’s there?” said Madison. “Don’t take another step, we’re four beefy men, and we know how to fight!”
Say what?
“Maybe whoever that is can help us get out of here perhaps,” said Chastity. Again, she did not sound sincere. She pulled me toward the footsteps instead of away. We turned down another hallway.
Speaking of beefy men... There was a beefy guy with tattoos standing in the center of the hallway. In a red skirt and a bull mask. His tattoos looked a little familiar. But it was so dark That I couldn’t really tell for sure.
The minotaur beefcake grunted at us and took a step forward.
I screamed at the top of my lungs and took off running.
But Chastity grabbed my arm before I could get too far.
“Girl, chill. He’s chained to the wall with at least a dozen chains. And there’s a note for us.”
“What?”
She pulled me back toward the minotaur man. About ten feet in front of them, there was a scroll on a pedestal. I picked it up and rolled it out to read it out loud.
“Congratulations on your engagement! Your maid of honor told us that you’re a loyal bride and that you like games…so we have a game for you. Escape the maze before the minotaur catches you, and you get to stay loyal. But if the minotaur catches you, we can’t be held responsible for what he does to your body. ;)”
What the hell? Chastity what did you do?
Metal clanged.
I looked up from the note. One of the chains holding the minotaur released.
Then another.
And another.
And another.
He was straining against the chains. All his muscles were bulging. For a second I stared at his abs.
What am I doing?“Ah! Run!!!!”
We all took off running but almost immediately hit a dead end. We backtracked and then hit another dead end. But this one seemed different. Part of the wall was back farther. Almost like there was a doorframe, even though it didn’t look like a door. I stared at the doorknocker.
