All i could think about was the sound of the clawed legs thump against the stone chasing after a straggler we lost . Everyone was cowered behind me in the small overhang too low for the greivers to reach us.
Mogi : I'm scared.
Andrew : i know but we can make it out of here .
Mogi: is he going to be alright ?
Andrew ; i don't know , only time will tell . ben was laying on the cold stone floor struggling to breathe . the open wound in his chest still bleeding profusely. He'll be okay .
Moose : i don't know , he's lost alot of blood .
Andrew : hang in there ben .ben had started half mumbling and half singing a song in french .
.....
The world slowly faded away and the scraping sound of the walls closing to the glades was replaced by my mother's soft voice as she sang a lullaby to me . i started to sing along with it but some of the words were washed out and empty . The house i grew up in as a child replaced the stone walls and thorny vines of the maze .
Mother: benny what's the matter sweetheart ?
Ben : i had a nightmare.
Mother: about what?
Ben : i was trapped in a maze with a few other people and i almost died .
Mother : it's gone now . You're alright nothing can hurt you here .
Ben : mom , i have something to tell you .
Mother: yes ben ?
Ben : i -uh .she handed me a glass of hot chocolate . i smelled the richness of the cocoa and was tempted to drink it but i didn't. Mom , i know this is a dream but i just can't go on anymore without telling you .
Mother : benny, I have to go a business trip soon . i won't be back for a few weeks .
Ben : mom , I'm not here . This os a dream and i know I'm in that maze bleeding to death and i never heard you once say i love you . I'm dying without ever hearing my own mother saying "i love you ."
Mother: goodnight ben .
......
Andrew : he's back.
Mogi : ben , you finally wake up .we're so close to getting out of here .
Ben : guys i had a dream about my mom.
Andrew : we could use a tension breaker .
Ben : my mom and i had an argument but before that she was singing this lullaby in French and i sang with her .
Andrew: explains why he was mumbling.
Ben : it was weird . she didn't act like my mother, well mean she did but weird. Like she was going crazy or forgot who i was ..
