CHAPTER 20

Level Three- Where in Hell are we?

Moni

Iwake up to warm brown eyes staring down at me. “Did I pass out again?” I ask before taking flight. “What number are we up to? What’s today’s bet? What are we betting anyway? Wait. This isn’t the bathroom,” I say, noticing the vast emptiness around us. “This isn’t even the church. What happened?” Frustrated, I put my hands on my hips and stare my mate down, looking for answers.

He pushes his glasses up with his middle finger and shrugs. “I don’t know what happened. We were all together just a moment ago.”

I turn around to take in the area that doesn’t look familiar at all. Instead of the stairs, we’re in a field covered in a thick white fog, and in the distance, I can barely make out dark structures. Are those people, trees, or are they buildings? How thick is this stuff? If I move away from Chester, will I lose him in it? I have no clue where we’re at. “Well, last I remember, I was inside talking to my bestie,” I tell him.

“Um, well, we hit our time limit, and Rez ran out here with you. We got a note on the door saying that we needed to become one with rage or become part of this world. Something like that, and then bam, it’s just you and me in this,” he says, waving his arm, indicating the mess we’re in.

“What does that even mean?” I throw up my hands, and my helpful mate shrugs once again before hiking up his backpack. Hmph. “Well, I think the first thing we should do is find the others,” I suggest, and Chester agrees as I fly forward and slam into an invisible force. “Fart Tarts, that hurt,” I whine as I rub my nose and look up, finding a shimmering wall that expands past my vision.

Chester backs up quickly, hitting another wall that shimmers and expands in both directions. “Is this a maze? Which way do we go?” Chester asks, reaching out to run his hand along the solid wall.

Peering at the wall, it wavers slightly before blending back into the foggy background. Knowing that it’s still there, I reach out and find the solid wall, running my hand along it.

“Well, this is gonna take us forever.” I worry my lip as I think of a faster way of finding a way around these walls or at least finding the edges instead of using my face. Yes, I’m covered in bark, but that doesn’t mean I don’t bruise underneath after so many hits in the same area.

“Well, are there any sticks around here we can use as walking sticks or something to poke around?” Chester throws out as his foot shuffles along the ground. “It might help keep us from running face-first into the walls,” he says helpfully.

“Oh, I know!” I say, turning to smile up at my mate. “I can practice my booms.”

Chester’s eyebrows furrow in confusion as he meets my eyes.
