the figure approached me and said "welcome to the Labyrinth" he said with a Grimm expression. "the what now?" I asked "the Labyrinth," he said "everyone here is forced to fight in teams until one team is wiped out entirely then they split up the remaining teams. the last person alive gets to be let out," he said, "We should head back to basecamp before the others catch us." "what about my mom! my life? everything?!" I asked. "I'll explain at camp, kid." "But!" "there catching up it's now or never!" he grabbed my hand and started running. I ran behind him for what felt like miles before we reached a stone wall covered in ivy and leaves. "I thought we were going to basecamp?" I asked. "this is basecamp," he said grinning walking up to the wall and pushing a couple of stones in a specific order. "576409113," he said to me "remember that" then I nodded. a couple of seconds later the brick wall opened up to show 5 kids that looked about 12 to 19 sitting around a stone table." "you got the new kid!" a girl that looked about 14 said. "wheres his weapon?" said a boy who looked 12. "Frank Nelo at your service" frank said and tipped his hat." this is Emma Wilson, Jules Anacaletta, Leo Alnez, Sarah Ren, and Jason Peters," Frank said. "Nico Key" I replied and extended my hand for them to shake. we all shook hands before Frank said, "now we need to plan how to rush the enemy team." "we lost so many people already we can't afford to lose anymore" everyone nodded grimly and went to their stone seats. the only empty one was a chair on the right-hand side of Frank so I sat in it not knowing what else to do. "here's the plan," Frank said. at 3 O clock, we rush them. they should still be asleep then we can wipe them out." "After that?" Emma asked "The same thing that happened last time, we will have to fight against our comrades" Frank replied. "but what if there's another way?" Jules asked. "yeah," Leo said. "If there is one we'll find it," Frank said. "what if we can climb the wall?" Jason asked. "too high, we would fall to our deaths." Sarah replied. "Sarah's right," Frank said. "Doing that would be suicide." I replied "we need to find a way that all of us can make it out alive," I said. "maybe we can tunnel under?" Leo asked. "we could always try?" Jason said. "yeah it might work," Jules said, "We gotta try!" Emma said. We've lost so many people-" Sarah said. "for now just worry about tomorrow and get some sleep!" with that Frank went off to the boys' room. "goodnight guys," Leo said and followed Frank. "night," I said and followed as well. when we got there I saw so many empty bunks. when I found one that had my name on it I collapsed and fell asleep almost immediately and passed out.
