Addie

It was harder to leave than we had expected.

The tall hedges made it impossible to see over them, even if I climbed on Javik’s shoulders, and the endless snaking paths seemed to go on forever, endless bifurcations and dead-ends completely disorienting us.

We could still hear the servants shouting somewhere in the distance, windows being smashed and monsters growling...but inside the maze, none of that chaos reached us. Either the creatures hadn’t ventured inside the maze, or they were as lost as we were.

“How are we going to get out of this mess?” I finally asked Javik.

We had been walking for what felt like half an hour now, and we seemed no closer to finding our way out of the maze.

Never mind that, even if we managed to leave the maze, our situation wouldn’t have improved that much. We had absolutely no idea where we were, nor did we have a ship. Oh yeah, and the entire place was crawling with murderous monsters.

That didn’t help.

“We’ll find a way, Addie,” he replied, but I wasn’t buying it. He was just trying to keep me calm.

Even though I knew his intentions were good, I didn’t want to be treated like a scared schoolgirl. I needed to know what his plan was, or if he even had a plan. Judging by how shitty our situation had just become, I wouldn’t have been surprised to hear he had no idea about what we should do.

“Be straight with me,” I insisted. “We’re lost, and you have no idea how to get us out of here.”

He froze, and turned around to face me. His eyebrows were knitted together, but he didn’t seem to be mad at me. Still, I could see the gears turning inside his head as he tried to think of something to say that could placate me. “Don’t try to tell me it’ll all be alright. I can tell that’s a lie. You know as much about what’s going on as I do.”

“That’s true,” he admitted, then he lowered his head. “Thing is, we have to be strong. We can’t give up, Addie. We have to keep on pushing ahead. Do you hear those things outside? They’re going to keep on tearing through the estate, and sooner or later they’re going to find their way into this maze. You don’t want to be here when they finally do. The best course of action remains the same. We have to find a way out of this maze, and then we keep on looking for a way out of this place.”

It was frustrating.

Pursing my lips, I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down. It didn’t work. I felt angry, and I didn’t know how to stop it.

The worst thing was, I didn’t even know where to direct my anger. Part of that anger was directed at myself and at how stupid I had been to think that I could handle the entire process of being shipped across the galaxy...but part of it also flowed toward Javik.
