Chapter 10

Sarah heard someone screaming loudly, it took her a couple seconds to realize it was her doing the screaming. It took about 4 seconds after the chomp for Carla's body to hit the ground. Sarah watched the blood pump out with every last beat of her heart from the spot where her head was. The shark-man kneeled down and started ripping chunks out of Carla's headless body. Anthony bent down and scooped up the handgun, then he grabbed Sarah by the hand and they ran back to Stacy. Sarah picked Stacy up in her arms and they hauled ass through the labyrinth. They stopped and Anthony looked back the way they came and said, "I think we are good, he's to busy eating... Eating Carla." Sarah could see he had tears on his face, running streaks through Carla's blood. They continued to travel the labyrinth through twists and turns, they finally came to another opening, Stacy had awakened and started walking alongside them. " where is Carla?" she asked. Sarah was going to lie to her and tell her she left when Anthony said: "she was attacked by a shark-man, she was killed." He looked at the floor and wiped his face. Stacy said, "we have to get out of here, I don't like it here." She was hunched up against Sarah. Sarah said, "we will get home Stacy, I promise you." She hugged Stacy tightly. The truth was Sarah was scared to death and she would put money on that Anthony was also. Stacy said, "I'm getting hungry and very sleepy." As she rubbed her eyes. "Yeah, we need to find a safe spot to hold up for the night," Anthony added as he placed the handgun in his belt. "Well, I highly doubt there's a safe place to sleep in this place," Sarah said quietly. Anthony looked around and said, "we will just sleep here and I will grab the first watch." Sarah laid down beside Stacy and tried to sleep but she couldn't here mind kept going back to the hole in the floor. What if she never went after Stacy? She pushed the thought away, after all, she did go after Stacy. After a while, Sarah drifted to sleep, as she slept she had an unexpected visitor in her dreams.
