I could feel us getting nearer to something. As if my tether were really an elastic band that was contracting as we went. The pain in my chest, however, was still strong, and tears continually ran down my face. If I didn’t have a purpose, I would’ve probably curled up and cried for days.

I wasn’t getting tired, though. The farther we went, the more the crippling cement in my veins dissipated. My legs felt as strong as when we’d first set foot in the maze. Cole started to fall back, but I kept running as fast as I could.

“Slow down, Nik!” he said in between pants.

“But I’m close to something. I can feel it.” The harder I ran, the better the pain in my chest felt. I realized that maybe I was following that pain.

“Wait! Nik!” Cole called out. I could hear his footsteps behind me, but I was outrunning him. Whatever power it was that beckoned me forward, it was strong.

“Trust me. It’s this way!” I called out to him over my shoulder.

I ran at a flat-out sprint. Cole shouted for Max to catch up to me, maybe because he had the longer legs of the two, but I was too far ahead. Even Jack wouldn’t have been able to reach me.

Jack.

My feet faltered, but only for a moment, and I glanced down at my hand. I was clutching a piece of paper; but I didn’t know what it was, and I couldn’t think about that because I was so close to my destination. I made one more turn before the maze opened to a clearing and a large, beautiful lake.

There was one moment of warning, a split second when I knew that everything about that lake said stay away; but before I could pass that message along to my feet, I was running—sprinting—to the water.
