Chapter 12

“Dominic!” Maria looked down to see him grinning up at her. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked tired, but he seemed to be all right.

“”How are you feeling?” Maria asked as she gently pulled him upright. He grunted a bit but managed to stay sitting up on his own. Maria passed him her flask and he drank some water.

“Sore, tired, stupid. Pick one.” He sounded irritated and embarrassed at the same time. “But I'm okay.” He looked around the room. “Well, it's good to see that I made it back. Wish I could remember how.” Then he noticed the plug of solid stone in the doorway. “Whoa! How did that happen?”

“I was just about to ask the same thing,” Richard added. He was eating a fruit bar voraciously and Dominic asked for one as well. As he began eating, he turned his arm around to look at the bite mark behind the bicep. The bite was gone; all that was left were two pale scars where the holes had been.

“So, I'm guessing that it was Richard who fixed me up?” Dominic asked.

“Yeah, he was amazing, Dom,” Jason replied enthusiastically. “He sat beside you for an hour trying to heal you up.”

Dominic looked intently at Richard, who reddened a bit. “Thank you, Rich,” Dominic said earnestly. “I owe you my life. I'll never forget that. Ever.”

Richard shook his head vehemently. “You did most of the work yourself, Dom. I just aimed your energies to where they would do the most good.”

“Yeah. Well then, I thank you for having a great aim,” Dom said with a broad grin.

Everyone laughed, including Richard.

“Now,” he said. “About that plug of rock in the doorway?”

“Oh right,” Maria answered. “It was Justin's doing. We had a um, visit from some friends of Dominic's.” At Dom's confused look, she added “The long skinny ones with scales?”

“Snakes?” he gasped. Maria nodded. “Damn it, they followed me!”

“Not to worry, Dom. They're gone,” Justin told him. “So relax, you two, and get your strength back.”

Once Dominic and Richard had eaten and rested a bit, Justin decided that it was time to find out what had gone wrong.

“So, Dominic...” he began, but Dom cut him off.

“I know what you're going to ask, Justin. What happened and how did I get bitten.” He took a deep breath and drank a bit of water. “Okay,” he continued. “This is how it went.”

Dominic sat back on his heels, then he dipped his forefinger into his water flask and began drawing lines on the stone floor. “Okay, so this circle is this room. The hallway outside turns left and right. I checked the right hand hall first. It splits at a t-junction but the hallway simply turns four corners and meets itself. However, here in the farthest part of the corridor is a room.” He drew a line square off of the hallway. “It's a lot bigger than this place. I think we should move there first chance we get.”

“Why?” Maria asked curiously.
