The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize

22 – The Maze

Aurora POV

“On your mark…get set… RUN!” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

On those words, I find myself running through the cement fortress. The walls are tall, and you can see splotches of red color along the walls are you pass. I turned left only to follow the path into a dead end. I retraced my steps until I find another entry point and choose right.

I am winded and confused, frustrated, and exhausted. I cannot see anything other than identical cement walls; I cannot hear anything other than my staggering breaths. I stop dead in my tracks when a loud horn is sounded followed by the sounds of masculine battle cries. I realize my 5 minutes is up and I continue to quicken my pace.

I reach another dead end and quickly turn around, only to see a tall masculine blonde–haired man with a blue arm band. His sinister smile makes me want to vomit. I turn around and try to make it to the opening I had once passed through only for strong arms to wrap around my torso. I scream in distress and begin to thrash in his hold.

I am instantly thrown up against the wall, him pinning me with his whole body. I hear a whistle blow three quick times near my ear. I then feel my body being turned around. A knee is pushed against the wall and before I have time to register anything, my body is pulled over the knee, my ass is in the air and then I feel a hard SMACK!

Are you shitting me? He is actually spanking me.

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK

Then there is another whistle, three short blows and he releases me. Fuck that hurts! He was so rough. He tells me I better run, and I waste no time in staggering to the next entry way I see. I hear a long whistle in the distance and hear a piercing scream. Brianna! I pray that her punishment isn’t too rough.

Sadly to continued ear shattering screaming until another long whistle is blown makes me think she got hurt.

Next thing I know, I hear another horn blaring. This one was a lower baritone, like a mariner horn. Then a rumble is felt like a small quake and the panels of the cement walls begin to move. Some panels turn in different angles, others are lifted up. A panel I am near begins to move in my direction and I am forced to run as fast as I can into another passageway before the cement wall crushed me.

Are you kidding me? Moving walls?

“Oh come on!” I scream to myself. But then I realize that of course this little game wouldn’t be remotely fair. We are in a maze created by sick sadistic psychopaths.

Left, right, right, straight. I turned another cement corner and nearly run into a guard with a red armband. I scream and it must be the adrenaline because I raise my foot and kick his family jewels as hard as I possibly can. He grabs his manhood and instantly falls to his knees.

“Bitch!” he screams but I bypass him and keep running, veering to the right out of his site. I hear another long whistle and more screams. I come to another dead end, and I take a quick breather.

22 The Maze

Another long whistle blows shortly after the last one. Poor Brianna! Then I hear the low horn again and watch the panels move. I jump out of the way as a panel turned creating a new pathway.

I am momentarily distracted that I don’t realize a strong arm is wrapped around my torso pulling me close to a chest. I scream while I am being turned to notice another freakishly tall muscled man, thankfully wearing a blue arm band.

While keeping me in a tight grip around my arm, he blows his whistle three times and then knees me in the torso. The pain is sharp and knocks the wind out of me. He takes a fistful of hair and knees me again. Four more knees to the torso and ribs before the whistle is heard and he throws me across the floor. I am gasping for air, feeling like my lungs are on fire with every breath.

I somehow find strength to get up and wobble to the next hole in the wall.

Left, right, straight. It never ends. Another horn is blown, and the panels move. Then a long whistle and more screaming.

I enter another passageway but stop in my tracks as I see Jason and Ben, together. They are standing right next to the next entry point. I look behind me and see the guard who kneed me slowly walking towards me.

I take a chance and make a run for the next hole, only to of course be stopped by my captors. They chuckle and pull out their whistle and blow their whistle six times and my eyes widen.

“We get double the time my love, because we each get our time” Jason says next to my car. His hot breath fans the hairs on my neck and shiver.

They don’t waste anymore time and they both pull out a beating stick from behind their backs. Jason uses his forearm to push me against the wall, putting pressure on my neck. It’s difficult to breath and I feel Ben pulling one of hands to the wall next to me, pinning it down. He then proceeds to smack my arm, wrist, and hand over and over again. SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP SLAP. Fifteen smacks later and then he releases me.

Firey pain tingles in every nerve and black dots are in my vision. Ben moves to my other arm and repeats the process.

SLAP SLAP SLAP.

The whistle sounds and they release me after giving me a soft kiss on the forehead. I fell to the ground gasping for air, and they walk away. The wall moving horn sounds again and it forces me to pick myself up even though my

extremities are screaming at me to rest.

I make my way through a few more halls before I find myself in a little dead–end nook.

But something unexpected happens.

The little nook I found myself in allows me to see a few paths without necessarily being seen myself.

I noticed Kai up ahead and he looked around before pushing on a panel and disappearing. I took a look at the panel in front of me and noticed a small thin line like a panel. I follow the line and see an outline of a small door!

It all makes sense now. How they are able to move easily. This maze is clearly not meant to be won.

I take a breath and try to press on the door. It opens and I step through, I am on the other side of the wall. I hear the horn once again and the panels move. I figured out that the edge of the maze doesn’t

move, so while the panels are all

moving. I concentrate on the end panels. While the panels are moving, I hear another whistle for Brianna and more screaming, I use this moment to push the next panel Ind.

I continue to push through the panels, checking my surroundings before pushing on the next panel.

I see a guard with a red band down one of the passageways, but his back is turned to me. He is waiting at one of the openings. I quick tiptoe behind him and find another panel. That was definitely close.

I hear three more long whistles and two more wall hos before I see the other end of the warehouse come into view, I know I am close. I pass through a panel about to go to the next one when I hear Kai’s voice yell “ALRORA!”

ok at him and in a moment of courage wink at him. He begins to run at me, and I quickly push the panel in front of me and close it behind me. I hear him yell “FUCK!” but I don’t stop.

I get to the just hall and see the entry way. It’s a huge opening in the wall, not like the other ones. As I start runnin

to the ext. I hear a strange whistle being blown. This time it is long and then two short beeps and then long again. I bear a bunch of boots and howls and I hear a blood curdling scream from Brianna

mm around. I see Kai coming through a panel and he sees me with a sinister smile. But I gave it of my middle finger and run the last few feet through the final doorway,
