Tied up

Aisha's pov:

This maze is huge and definitely was not on the map. I wonder why dad made so many mistakes or maybe this isn't the real map but so far it's been right about where the parts are being kept.

She reached a point where she has to choose between left and right. The left side looked dark and then the right side was bright.

I guess I'll go with right she thought.

She had walked for what felt like hours and found herself back at the same spot.

"Why are there two ways if one of them brings you back to the same spot."

She then proceeded to use the other dark way. As she was walking she began to think of Mike.

"I miss him it was nice having someone to talk to. Sure he's dumb but he does have nice black hair, bluebell eyes, light brown skin and soft pink lips that make you want to..... Whoa that was weird, back to reality now.

Then suddenly she started to remember her past. The day she cried when she found out what happened to her dad and planet, the way her mother used to beat her up, her mother said it was for her own good but it felt like her mother was trying to cripple her. After having those memories resurface, Aisha broke down into tears and a branch slowly started to tie her up. The more sadness she felt, the more she was tied up. After it was done, the branch began to slowly squeeze her, whenever she remembered something sad it would squeeze her more. Aisha felt her breath being taken away slowly and slowly.

Mike's POV:

Mike also reached a point where he had to choose between left and right. He made the same choice as Aisha and found himself back at the same spot.

"What the fudge!, I guess I have no choice but to use the darker way."

He proceeded down that path and as he was walking he thought of Aisha. Mike began to develop feelings for Aisha. But then suddenly he thought of his dad and sister and great feeling of sadness overcame him. Mike only had one sad memory and that's losing the two people he loved. So his sadness was more powerful that the branch tied him up faster and began to squeeze the life out of him. But then he remembered his mom and Josh and how they always made him happy. His mom played both the roles of a mother and sister while Josh acted as a father figure sometimes. The more he thought of them, the happier he felt and the branch withered away. Then in front of him the second piece appeared and he saw a way out.

"It feels good to be finally free." He said with joy.

But he noticed Aisha wasn't out yet and something didn't feel right so he went back for her keeping in mind that he should always remember the happy memories. When he went back he found Aisha tied up and unconscious. He tried to untie her but the branch was too strong. Mike saw that the only way to save her is to get her to think happy thoughts.

"AISHA!, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, YOU HAVE TO STOP THINKING ABOUT THE BAD MEMORIES, OR ELSE.... OR ELSE YOU'LL DIE." He shouted while slapping her but it was no use. He began to cry knowing he might lose her. Suddenly the branch began to loosen and Mike saw that, so he grabbed Aisha and got her out of the maze. But it was too late, she wasn't awake.
