The Maze
IT WAS FORBIDDEN TO climb the hedge, but the path had come to a
dead end and Leyna was running out of time.
A terrifying howl ripped through the darkness, a reminder of the beast
that stalked her through the maze. She was the last one left.
Her eyes darted left and right, searching for an escape route. But there
was none.
Fear shot through her body. If she stayed trapped in this maze, it would
almost certainly be the end—her magic was drained and she wouldn’t stand
a chance against the beast. But if she climbed the hedge, everyone would
know she had broken the rules, and that was much worse.
Leyna looked around wildly, clutching her stomach as she drew in ragged
breaths, trying to settle the panic rising inside of her. The beast had her
scent, and it was close.
She scanned the tall hedge—her only chance of escape. If she leapt up to
seize the thick branches, she might still make it. But she would have to do it
now.
Now.
Or she could stand and fight, however hopeless, which was the
honourable thing to do. It’s what they all expected of her.
A bead of sweat trickled down her face, her heart thumping so hard that
her stomach churned. A deep growl rumbled nearby, signalling that she was
out of time. The beast was near.
This was it—time to choose.
She panicked and vaulted for the hedge, seizing thick branches and
pulling herself upwards towards the pink sky, where winged dragon-like
creatures circled high above, watching her flee. The branches rustled loudly
and scratched her hands and face, but she held on, digging the toes of her
boots in to try and gain a foothold as she reached for the next handful.
What if I don’t make it? She snapped her head back to look behind her
just in time to see a gigantic form of fur and muscle round the corner into
sight.
It was here.
She wasn’t going to make it.
Leyna cast a distracted spell in the beast’s direction, a feeble burst of
energy that threatened to fizzle out instantly. She didn’t wait to see if it
connected, reaching instead to grab more of the scratchy bush, and then
another handful, scrambling as she tried to pull her legs out of reach,
climbing upwards—
The beast was too quick. She screamed as teeth seized her cloak and
wrenched her backwards. Her body hit the ground with a heavy thud, the
violence of the impact knocking the wind from her lungs.
She couldn’t draw breath, could only lie there and wheeze.
No air. Pain.
No air.
