Thin lines of dim light appeared between the moving walls, as if the maze was splitting open.
At the same time, a howl echoed from somewhere ahead. It was short, but it came again and again. The bell began ringing faster in the same rhythm, as if the two sounds were guiding them, telling them where to run.
It was a confusing situation, but Roxanna knew better than to just stand still where she was. She dashed forward with Calen and their hands were still tightly intertwined because they wanted to make sure no one was left behind.
"W-what's that?!" Roxanna gasped when the darkness in front of her suddenly disappeared. Two massive walls moved toward each other, slowly closing the path ahead.
When she glanced back, her heart dropped because the other paths were closing too.
If they didn't get through in time, they would be trapped. Worse… if the walls fully shut, they might be crushed inside this twisted maze forever.
