deal for me. Sadly it was a lot better than the shit you got into. Clarice and I have had a great life here since I took that deal and I can’t complain about the perks. Having unlimited power is awesome and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. You guys however made a very foolish decision and decided to become the Alchemic Council’s lackeys. I don’t think I can forgive you for becoming the one thing you promised me you would never become brother,” William said.
“Well we decided to try going a different way. We didn’t want to play into the darkness like you guys,” Renee chipped in. She had a stern look on her face and I could tell she was starting to get angry with everything he said.
“Oh don’t be such a sourpuss Renee. Unlike you I don’t have a temper. Probably why my daughter is a prime and proper woman and yours looks like something I would find under a subway train dead. Which is where she should be,” the woman quipped.
“Oh shut it Betty. God you need a fucking stick shoved down your throat and honestly everything I hear coming out of your mouth is a complete and utter lie. You sicken me you ugly whore,” Renee replied.
“Oh whatever. At least I don’t have to resort to petty names to make myself look better. Let’s settle this, I’m sick of looking at your ugly face,” Betty said cheerfully. They all started to fight as well, and even the daughters were fighting with one another. The daughters were fighting very roughly like the three girls downstairs, but the adults were fighting like two graceful dances about to settle a score. Darren grabbed my hand and we made it to the top floor. There was no one waiting for us, but we noticed there were two ways. A small voice came through our minds, almost penetrating our thought processes.
‘I’m hiding somewhere on this floor. Why don’t you guys come find me so we can settle this score together? I love a challenge,” the voice boomed. We both immediately knew what it was and started to run in one direction, only to have the walls almost seal up on us. We knew then that it was the other way and went that way. There were little spikes on the ground and Darren grabbed me. He hoisted me on my shoulders and even though I wanted to struggle he put his hand next to his mouth.
“These needles have a toxic substance on it. Be quiet and keep your thoughts quiet. I don’t want him hearing us,” he instructed.
I nodded and he started to move a little bit faster through it. We finally made it past that barrier only to be hit with another trap. There were fire bombs everywhere, but I held on and Darren avoided all of it. He was amazing and his fancy footwork was very impressive. We almost got hit with a log that had black earth alchemy on it and if it hit us it would kill us instantly. He jumped over it, my hands holding onto him for dear life. We got through that and walked down, only to realize we were in a giant maze. We started to try and retrace our steps, but to no avail.
“Alyssa I need to you to listen to him to see if you can figure out where he is,” Darren instructed.
I nodded and started to hear in. I didn’t hear anything for a moment but then I was soon hit with chortling and was being told I need to go back and turn left to actually find it but I probably wouldn’t figure that out. After a moment I came back and looked at him. “Go back and head left. Now!” I yelled. Darren started to run back to where we went but went left this time. It took us through a small tunnel that had little bombs going off around us, but I put up a magical water barrier in order to protect us. We started to walk until we got to two doors, each of them with a “Go back. Do not enter” sign on them.
“Which one Alyssa?” Darren asked.
I looked into his mind again. Most of it was
