Chapter 7

Sarah and Stacy left the goblins where they were and traveled back to the beginning of the forest and out onto the sand. Sarah stared at the dark blue water, she did not want to go out there again. Sarah knew that there was a good chance whatever had grabbed her was still waiting for her. Stacy was looking scared she was shaking. "Stacy we must cross this water to get you home. We will need to swim fast." Sarah said this calmly as not to scare Stacy anymore than she already was. "I cant, I'll drown." Stacy pleaded. Sarah looked into Stacy's eyes and said, "you won't drown Stacy because I promise I won't let you." Sarah reassured her. Sarah wasn't even going to tell her she had no clue how they were going to get back up the hole once they got back. She would deal with that when the time came she decided. Sarah gets in the water first, gasping as she does, it chills her bones. "Stacy its cold but you will be ok, come on take my hand," Sarah says. Stacy takes Sarah's hand and gets in the water. "This water is freezing cold," Stacy says. Stacy gets on Sarahs back and they begin to swim back to the labyrinth; from under the dark blue water, glowing yellow eyes start their hunt. Stacy is shivering badly, Sarah can't help but feel sorry for the poor girl. Sarah is swimming as fast as she can when something speeds by underneath them. She is frightened but has to remain calm for Stacy. She carefully pulls a steak knife out of her tool belt and stays swimming at the same pace. Sarah feels another object move past. Ignoring it she continues to swim, about halfway across she can see the entrance to the labyrinth, that's when something pierces her thigh, Sarah screams out in pain. Stacy has no clue what happened and asks, "are you okay Sarah, what's wrong-"that's when they are both dragged underwater.
