I take a deep breath and exhale. "The girl's right." I turn towards the teenage? Heart beating fast."We don't surrender."

The boy who holding the sheild  eyes grow big. "I surrender!" He says, eyes darting wildy around the room. My heart skips a beat. I look at the boy who's  shaking in fear. He can't . 

"That would be an excellent choice" says the teenager, seeming to smile under the mask.  

The girl takes his hand, quickly. "You'r are hope to getting out of here. You can't surrender!"  she almost shouts, desperatly. 

The young boy frowns, forehead creased. ''I can't fight that..skeeter." He whispers, voice cracking. My breathing almost stops. He has too. 

"Pleaze Leo" she whispers, looking into his eyes, gravely. 

The boy looks like he's about to faint. "Okay" he croaks.   

Under the mask the mouth moves like the teenage is grimnacing. "Very well" he say, icly.He bends down to the skeeter, talking to him in some strange language.

~~~~~~~~~~

Will they escape? 

Will they live? 

Or will the skeezter  have a big....meal.  

Time to find out. 

Soon...

But not yet.

Sorry i'll write tomorrow or this weekend. 

What is he saying to the skeeter!? Were dead...Were dead!

~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The things stalks towards us, small black pupils locking onto Leo. It's 

Sorry super short post. I got to go to dinner. 

lock on Leo. It skin looks like rotting decay and has the texture of molten metal. It licked its arm length teeth,  hungreyly. 

"It's going to kill me" gasped leo, golden threads of the sheild starting to retreat to his palm. 

"No! Leo you have to focous!" said the girl, cupping his face in her hands. 

The sheilds threads still retreated. My heart raced, sweat trickled down my back, and my palms were cold and cammy. I could barely breath. You have to keep the shield up!

The gilr kissed him! The threads started back towards the floor, brighter and stronger. I let out a sigh of relief. My heart stoped racing and i started to breath again. Hope flared inside me.  Were gonna live!

The skeeter let out a bloodcurlling screech. It sounded like metal grinding against metal and gurgling. Like it couldn't breath. I shivered. This thing was terrifying! It screeched again, flinging its self at the sheild. The golden threads didn't quiver. 

The thing shook its head, voilently back and forth, tail whipping the ground in rage, staring at Leo like a puppy staring at a squirrel...wanting it. To kill. 

It started to dig, its lonnnnnggg claws ripping up the cement in front of it,  like it was paper.

My heart stopped."Its going to dig under the sheild!' I screeched, eyes wide.  

Were dead!

"Run!" Someone shouts before i can.

"Keep the force field up!" I shout.

And then we're surging foward, bodies pushing, running to nowhere. 

But it wasn't enough. 

The skeeters leapt from the ground, cement flying. Its long scaly stomach stretches over me and others. It lands on Leo! sending him to the ground. The building shook , dust falling from the ceiling.

I can't breath. I can't move. My heart bangs against my rib cage. This can't be happening. 

The skeeter's long narrow face leaned close to leo, slavia dripping off its teeth. It opens its mouth, letting out a trumpiant screech. I nearly jump in shock. I could see two front teeth curved over its lip and thousand of its teeth retreating into its mouth. Leo's face was pale and his eyes were huge. 

My body started to shake. 

Leo put his hand up-

The skeeter went in for the kill- 

I can't watch. I turned away- 

The girl in the pink dress let out a heart broken scream-

-Blood splattered my shirt.

I screamed. The blood was wet and stitcky. Oh my god its Leo's blood. They killed him! Anger bubbles up inside me mixed with my fear. I want to lunge at the guard surrounding us, smiling evily. I want to lunge at the guy in the black suit. But if i do the skeeter will kill me.  

The girl in the pink dress started to sob. "Oh Leo....."

Against my better judgment I turn around to look and nearly  {goryness} scream. Leo's body lays sprawled against the carpet floor, blood pulling from a large gap in his chest. 

The worst part though is the skeeter sits by Leo's stomach, bent over 

Hey admins can u delete my last comment, plz? 

OK, done.

I'm not really sure how to do this next part, but basically the guards blindfold them and take them somewhere. They can't tell if this place is inside the building or outside. The main character is very distraught and shaken about Leo's death. 

~~~~

That had a lot of spelling mistakes in it. XD

The guards leave us standing in front of giant stone walls with deep shadows inside them. I know I should be scared about what hides in those shadows, but all I can think of is leo, lying there....bloood dripping onto the carpet floor. His pertrifed face flashes across my mind. The girl's scream. 

My shirt is still bloody, but I do not care. I'm angrey at the grauds. Angry that Leo died. All can think about is him. I can't even think about were Justin is right now. 

Someone nudges my shulder with her shoulder. I barely feel it and do not turn around. 

 "I'm suripsed your look upset...since your the one who killed Leo." whispers someone in my ear.

Anger sears across my chest and I whip around. The girl in the pink dress stands beside me, eyes narrowed. Her eyes are icy and evil. "I did not kill him!" I yell, clenching my fists. 

"Sure, sure. Believe that if you want, but know its a lie and you know it. "

 I glare at her. "Its not a lie! How did I kill Leo!? I'm not a Skeeter!, genuis!" 

Flames seem to spring into her green eyes. "Do I really need to explain that, dummy?"

My heart pounds. "Yes and i'm not a dummy....you are!"

She fakes being hurt at my insult. She grabs were her heart would be under her skin, like I'v peirced it with a spear. Rage fills me. "Okay....heres how you killed him! You gave us a big rally, gave us hope and now....hes dead. If you didn't do the rally known of this would of happened! If you didn't give us hope known of this wouldn't of happened! And trust me....I'v asked people who were besides me when I was blindfolded and they think so too! Thats how, you stupid, girl!"  

Surely Justin dosn't thinl I killed him? My heart squeezes. Did I? Am I some kind of monster!? "You encouragde him too! When I said we surrender you told us not to!! Gave them false hope like I did!"   I shout, trying to sound like her words didn't get to me even though they did. 

She slapps me in the face. I grab her hand, mad and hurt. She pulls free, leans close and looks me in the eyes. "I didn't start the fire. I didn't ingnite the flame. And don't go there ever again or you'll regret it the next time you do."

I watch her walk to some girl with flower pants, hurt, confused, guilty and mad."  

ow that had a lot of spelling mistakes in it.

A few hours ago a disemboided voice had spoken from someowhere, telling us to go into the maze.If we got to the middle "we would survive" she told us. But thats unlikely.  I wanted to resist, but that would only cause death and that probably be my fault. I was too afeard to, too. 

I've managed to shut most thoughts off about leo, trying to think about were Justin is right now but his face does come back. 

Most of the teenagers separated into groups. I have no one. Figures, Its my fault Leo died. 

The maze is dark and lonely. Stone walls surround my either side. Sometimes screams pierce the air. Ones like leo. I shiver. Sometimes there growling.When that happens I start to run, shivering, hearting beating fast,  but nothing follows.  I guessed it was somewhere else. 

"Hi.." 

I whip around, heart beating fast....only to find Justin standing in front of me jacket sleeve torn, a small cut on his arm. "Justin!" I say, forgetting how mysterouis he's been. Forgetting how he's hiding something. Forgetting his words of caution against resisting that I didn't listen even though I should of. Fogetrting he may blame me for Leo's death. Ignoring the torn sleeve and small cut.

"Your a nice site, even though your shirts bloody....what happened?' he asks, quirking his head.

Memories of Leo's death flash. Tears sting my eyes. "We tried to......I don't know get out? Show defiance against the women?" I stop and take a deep breath. "there was a skeeter...I guess you don't know what that is, anyways it killed Leo."

Something like shame? madness and something else fills his eyes. Again he looks like he remebering something. He almost looks like knew that this would happen. 'Wow....that sucks.' he opens his arms like he's going to hug me but quickly retracts them. Huh."Survive the guards?"

Images of the shield flash through my mind. The shield. Runnning. The skeeter. And suddenly I'm sucked into the memory again. 

A hand touches my shoulder, gently. "Hey....its okay."

With a shake of my head the memory is gone.Tears trickle down my cheeks, but I suck them in. Tears show weakness. "He had powers. It was crazy. He could make a force field, but...the skeeter could dig under it..."

Again a distant look comes to his face. His hand falls of my shoulder. I wish it was his hand was still there, but I'm curious about what I said that got to him. "Justin!" I snap. 

His eyes become again once aware. "Sorry...thats crazy. Wow...I never thought poweres could be real."

I shake my head. "Me either" I say, trying to end the subject. The memories were too painful. My eyes search for something to talk about. They land on his arm that is torn that I fogort about. Concern fills me. "What happened to your arm?" 

Fear fills Justin eyes. "There was this collous wolf! That just came running down a corner.....it almost got me, but there was a hole by where I was! So I jumped in the hole but it got my sleeve and a little bit of my arm!" 

Fear fills me. So thats whats been hiding in the shadows. I'm so glad it didn't get Justin....Realization hits me in a wave of sickening fear. "Do you think it.....could track you?"

Fear fills his eyes, then hard resilience. "No....Its head got stuck in the hole."

Fear bubbles up. I feel like I might throw up. "How big was it?' 

His hands shake. "Almost as big as these walls."

I look up at the walls. Their stretch up to the grey sky as far I as I can see. "Surely it could get free...." I say slowly.

Justins eyes are determined. "It's stuck. It can't get free. Now...we should get moving"

He gently nudges me foward and i go, sneaking glanced behind me. My heart is jitttery and my palms are clamy.

"Hi.." 

 I whip around, heart beating fast....only to find Justin standing in front of me. His  jacket sleeve  was torn, a small cut on his arm. "Justin!" I say, forgetting how mysterious he's been. Fogorting how he's hiding something. Forgetting his words of caution against resiting that I didn't listen even though I should of. Fogorting he may blame me for Leo's death. Ingnoring the torn sleeve and small cut.

"Your a nice site, even though your shirts bloody....what happened/' he asks, quirking his head.

I blush, bit in millisecond memories of Leo's death flash. Tears sting my eyes. "We tried to......I don't know get out? Show defiance against the women?" I stop and take a deep breath. "there was a skeeter...I guess you don't know what that is, anyways it killed Leo."

Something like shame? madness and something else fills his eyes. Again he looks like he remembering something. He almost looks like he  knew that this would happen. 'Wow....that sucks.' he opens his arms like he's going to hug me but quickly retracts them. Huh.” How did you guys survive the guards?"

Images of the shield flash through my mind. The shield. Running. The skeeter. And suddenly I'm sucked into the memory again. 

A hand touches my shoulder, gently. "Hay....its okay."

With a shake of my head the memory is gone. Tears trickle down my cheeks, but I suck them in. Tears show weakness. "He had powers. It was crazy. He could make a force field, but...the skeeter could dig under it..."

Again a distant look comes to his face. His hand falls of my shoulder. I wish  his hand was still there, but I'm curious about what I said that got to him. "Justin!" I snap.

Justin’s eyes are determined. "Its stuck. It can't get free. Now...we should get moving"

He gently nudges me forward and i go, sneaking glances behind me. My heart is jittery and my palms are clammy. 

Or maybe tonight. 

~~~~~

We run, the giant grey wolf pounding behind us, banging into stone walls as we turn  corners. . Fear fills me in sickening waves as it gains. The earth virbates. 

I don't know why were running. Its going to kill us, anyhow. Maybe it should kill me. I did kill Leo. 

"Were gonna die." I say, softly to Justin, heart beating as fast as a cheetah. 

He looks at me, hair wild, eyes huge. He grabs my hand. Squeezes it. ''Were going to make it." 

I shake my head. "It almost got us Justin.... There no way were going to live."

He squeezes my hand, tighter. "I promise you. I swear on my life were going to be okay." 

"How do you know?" I whisper, trying to run faster. I can hear the beast snarling behind me and feel its stinky, hot, rotting breath. 

His mouth opens. Closes. My stomach quenches. "I have a plan. Turn around." 

Fear and confusion fills me. "Your crazy!" 

Dead determination fills his eyes. "Trust me." He says, turning around. 

I stop. Turn around.  Fear makes my insides queezy. "JUSTI-"

I won't be able to write for a couple of days [sorry ] becuase a friend is over.
