Chapter 8

Sarah doesn't have time for much but she does look at what is pulling them down. The hand that is wrapped around her ankle with its nails dug into her flesh, is webbed and scaly. The glowing yellow eyes are attached to a head with teeth. It reminds her of a Parana's mouth. Its got gills on its face and fins on its arms and legs. She thinks oh my god this is a merfolk, half human half fish. She lifts the hand with the knife up over her head, Stacy will not die down here. Sarah brings the knife down sticking it in the creature's forearm, it releases Sarah's leg. Sarah with Stacy still on her back rushes to the surface gasping for air. Sarah is moving again, her muscles are burning and starting to cramp up but she pushes on for Stacy. As they get closer to the labyrinth entrance she sees two shadowy figures standing in the doorway. She notices they have flashlights. Sarah and Stacy finally make it to land.
The two figures came running up to Sarah and Stacy, Sarah noticed immediately one of them was pointing a pistol at them. "Put your hands where we can see them, please." The one toating the gun said. Sarah and Stacy put their hands up. The other one that was traveling with the guy who was pointing the gun asked. "How do we get out of this place? Just tell us and we will let you go, I promise." It was a female voice. Sarah was very nervous this man she did not know had a gun in her and Stacy's face. He looked even more scared then Sarah felt. Sarah carefully replied, "we are trying to get back to the place we came through, it's just a little ways ahead through the Labyrinth." The lady that was with the man carrying the gun looks at Sarah's leg and says, "you might want to pull that bone knife that is protruding from your leg out, it looks like it hurts." "I will as soon as i get out of here." She looked at them with curiosity and asked, "did you to come through a portal?" The guy lowered the gun and put it back in his holster. "Yes, we did, about a month ago by my calculation but i have no clue how time works here." The lady traveling with the guy says, "the wall in our closet opened up, and here we are. My name is Carla and this is Anthony." She pointed to the guy that carried the gun. "I just want to get Stacy home," Sarah says. Carla gives her a sad look and replies. "I don't think you can go home! Are portal closed, I'm sure yours did too." Sarah knows she can't give up even though she's exhausted and her leg is killing her. As the group of four were heading back into the labyrinth... Back in their world, an A.P.B. was going out for a babysitter who had kidnapped the six-year-old girl she was babysitting.
