"Yes..." Silver said, noticing his reaction and feeling guilt for shocking him.

Nebi fell quiet, watching the hallway for signs of any more interlopers. On a whim, he took a coin and flung it as far down the hallway as he could, listening to it clatter and roll until it stopped. Dead end? Probably. Or the wall curved around.

He sighed and leaned back against the wall, flicking the chain around his neck back over his shoulder with a soft rattle. "Shall we get moving?" He wasn't very patient, unfortunately.

"Yes, lets go." Elizabeth began to walk in the direction that jayce had come from.

Jayce walked up to Silver and smiled as he patted her shoulder. "Don't worry, I get used to things easily." he said, then turned to walk after Elizabeth and Nebi.

Jayce was getting increasingly frustrated in this place. While usually he could easily feel his surroundings through vibration waves, he could now feel nothing further than one, maybe two corridors. The huge network of tunnels and hallways confused him, and he couldn't place any information he got back. it frustrated him tirelessly, as he tried to hide it from the others.

Solver looked at Jayce and smiled, even though she knew he couldn't see it. She followed along with the rest of the group, now trailing behind everyone.

(edited my last post cause I felt it had to be posted like that as I reread it)

Nebi took the lead, cautiously keeping his eyes peeled for any further traps--like holes suddenly appearing out of nowhere as it had before.

Instead he led them straight into another dead end. He growled as he turned back the way they had come.

"Okay, this is getting ridiculous," he muttered, flipping a coin into the air before catching it again.

(thread dying?)

(Sorry. Took me a while to remember I hadn't posted my reply yet.)
Elizabeth followed nebi until they reached the dead end, in which case she turned around and began to lead onward. She remembered to keep an eye out for anything that might be suspicious and sensed no enemies closeby at the moment.

(got nothing to say for now, please go on )

(Sorry! I've been sick and My mom jacked my computer! >.<)
Silver Continued to glide her fingers along the wall, thinking of something to 'say' to break silence. She looked over at the three people that continued to weave their way along the maze with her and bit her lip. "So... how are we going to get out of here? Do we even know if theres a way out?" She asked in their heads in a small voice, scared to know the answer to her own question.

Nebi didn't flinch this time when Silver 'spoke', which was progress! He was getting used to it.

"Well if we got in, there has to be a way out. No one's that cruel to just drop us into an unsolvable maze."

Just then he froze. An inhuman sound, a low growling rumble, rolled through the corridors, making the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

"Either that's the ceiling about to give in, or...we're not alone after all."

Elizabeth turned in the opposite direction and listened for a minute. "No... We're not alone in here. I could sense that from the beginning. Although it wasn't as close from the sounds of it."

Jayce just froze. Whatever they all heard, he'd also felt. Meaning it had to be extremely close. His body was shaking and he tried to suppress himself. What the hell is this? He had felt the unknown entity that followed his sister, and that was terrifying, but this was a completely different kind of terror. It didn't try to sneak or hide, it was going to meet them head-on.
"We may want to turn around and go that way." he said slowly.

Silvers nails dug into the stone walls, making them throb. She didn't notice though, she was too focused on the sound. Her eyes widened in terror and she bit her lip. She had always been able to hide in a tree if something came after her in the woods.
This time, there was no where to hide for her. Her heart started to pound and without thinking, she took off running in the other direction, hoping that everyone would follow her actions.

Nebi looked at the motley assortment of people he was with--a blind dude, a girl who could only communicate telepathically (and was currently running away), and another seemingly innocuous girl. It would be up to him to face this oncoming monster. Lovely.

"Uh, yes, let's see if we can't lose it in the winding corridors of chaos," he said, turning to take up the rear of the party, making sure that neither Jayce nor Elizabeth were left behind.

If worse came to worse, he had a dagger on him, and he had a heavy sack of coins. He could at the very least hope to knock the monster out--but it would require close-range fighting and he rather doubted the creature that was coming after them would be the kind he would want to take on hand-to-hand.

"Just go, keep your hand on the left wall and follow it." If they did hit a dead-end, keeping their hand on the left wall would at least get them around and out of it again...but whether before or after the creature caught them, it was anyone's guess.

(You know, if someone has nothing to say, then they can just say 'I got nothing' or 'skip' Like Othian! I don't think anyone will judge. )

Elizabeth put her hand on the wall and began to do as she was told. She could sense the creature drawing near, and she knew that if she had to she'd use her magic to defend herself. She wasn't quite sure about the others besides nebi being able to defend themselves so she kept a sharp eye out and kept track of the monsters energy.

(Sorry, my phone didn't give me a notification that anyone had responded yet so I didn't check.)

Jayce wished he had a weapon. He could sense the creature now. Its shapes, its features, and started to scan for weak spots. He found a couple, but they were incredibly hard to reach, and life threatening to do so.
"Faster!" he urged them. The fact he could "feel" what the creature looked like meant he was almost on them. And what he felt was terrifying.

(I'm leaving the actual description for now, cause I wasn't sure any of you had a set idea on what they wanted it to look like.)

Silver had over heard Nebi's advice and shot her hand out to the wall, trailing along the left side. She stopped dead in her tracks when something caught her eye.

Just as she turned the corner she saw on of the walls shift to the side, creating a new pathway. Silver stood there and blinked, thinking that she had just imagined it. For a moment, she had forgotten all about the beast that she was running away from.

On closer inspection, she found that when the wall had moved, a small hole was reviled. It was small, but big enough to get into if you got down on your knees and crawled.

Silver remembered the people the were currently trying to get away from a beast, and started towards where she came from, hoping to find them. She stuck her and out to the wall and followed it back to where she was.

When she saw that others, she beckoned them with her finger, hoping to get their attention.
