Hell Maze?
Bobby, Aliya, and Lime stood frozen, their minds racing faster than their bodies dared to move.
Aliya's breath shook. Blood soaked the front of her clothes, warm and sticky. An eyeball, someone else's—had rolled to a stop right in front of her shoe. It stared back at her, lifeless.
Her stomach twisted.
She wanted to scream.
She didn't.
Her face twitched as nausea surged, but she swallowed it down hard, clenching her teeth until her jaw hurt.
The light ahead switched back to green.
"Run. Now."
Ezra's voice cut through the silence, sharp and steady.
The moment he spoke, Aliya snapped out of it.
"Ahhhhhhh…!" she cried as she jumped forward, rubbing at her clothes while sprinting after the others, trying and failing to wipe the blood away.
"What's happening?!" Lime shouted, fear clear on his face.
"The light turned red," Bobby answered between gasps, his legs moving on instinct. "Then they just…started dying. One after another."
