Llian's P.O.V

I wake up with a sudden fear crawling down my back. "WAKE UP YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!!!" Someone screams. I hardly even open my eyes then I realize that I've been dragged out of bed and thrown to the wall. I moan then look up. It's only Fletcher. He is just an ass. A hot piece of ass. Everyone here hates me because I'm different. I'm bisexual. Nobody likes that. I get up and spit out a splatter of blood. I have nobody to turn to for help. My one and only friend, Miles, ran away from here because his life was at risk. I cant say I dont enjoy the sexual abuse either. I walk to the bathroom to shower in the normally cold water. I hardly shiver anymore. The last warm shower I had was when I was 8, now I'm 22 and dont remember what warmth is too well. I should never have ran with that knife and accidentally stab Gavin. It's my fault he is gone. I have thought of running away all the time. Today is the day. As soon as I'm done with the chores. I wake up the others, cook their breakfast, prepare the food for today, and then start packing to leave. I turn around and see a picture I've never seen before. It's a picture of me, Miles, Gavin, and Fletcher. I put the picture on my bed. Then I hear a voice. "Llian...dont leave." I turn around and see Tyler. "Tyler....I have to." I answer. "But...Llian...you are not the only one that is treated like shit....i tried to stand up for you yesterday, and i got beaten up. I'm hiding it with makeup." Tyler says as he wipes off makeup. I notice a black eye, and a cut lip. I start to cry. I give Tyler a hug, "Tyler, I know this is something I shouldnt ask you...but do you want to run away with me??" I say to Tyler. "No....Ryker needs me." He says as he turns away. "Here is a map to my location. If you need me, I'll be there." I tell Tyler as I give him a map. "Llian please stay....someday, someone will need you more then ever." Tyler tells me. My eyes fill with some hope. "Ok...I'll give it another couple days, if nobody cares, I'm out of here." I whisper as I walk out of my room. Suddenly a smash comes over my head. Ryker. "Ow....." I say as I get up. I finially couldnt smile, or feel anything. I felt nothing. No anger, sadness, joy, pain, guilt, nothing. An emotionless slate...like a piece of paper. My eyes start to empty of the hope I just had. "Freak." He says as he walks away. I have nobody to care for, and nobody cares for me. I know because it's what it is. I look down and see a piece of glass that looks like the same piece of glass that Amari used to put a gash across my leg. I pick it up. I press it against my wrist, suddenly I start to smile, a cold and empty smile. I press deeper and deeper until I saw blood, I lift it up. A gash of blood dripped down my wrist. I go to the kitchen to clean it up. The second I even clean it up, I'm grabbed by Austin and thrown out the window, I land in a tree. "That's it..." I say to myself. I run inside, grab a pen and steal Cole's paper. I write a note,

"You guys are only hurting me all the time, if I leave, everyone is happier....thank you for even....nothing. You gave me nothing but grief and pain since the accident, while I'm Gone, someone bring him back...
-Llian"

I know nobody will remember me, I dont deserve to be remembered. I walk out the door with my stuff. I know I promised Tyler I'd wait...but I cant take it anymore. I walk down the stone stairs and start walking to a crossroad. I walk on and go past a sign, before you know it, I'm running in the dark, then I see the woods, I decide to run through the woods and into a maze. I sigh and sit down. I curl up into a ball of groans since I didn't pack food. "I told you, Nolan...I hear crazy shit." I hear a voice say. I shoot up and look around. "Is it a boy?" Another voice asks. I look up and I scream. A hand flies over my mouth. "I, the Ezekiel ask what you're doing at MY maze." I look up and see someone. "He cant answer if you have his mouth covered." The person says. "Right..." the man says as he takes his hand off my mouth. "I'm Llian Darby...I was abused so I ran away, and I accidentally ended up here, I had no idea your maze was here, Mr. Ezekiel...I can leave and forget this ever happened..." I say as I get up. "By who?" The boy asks. "Gavin's old friends, Fletcher, and the others....I accidentally killed Gavin because Mason got mad and chased me, I meant to put down the knife, but Ryker tripped me and I accidentally stabbed Gavin and he died......" I say as I start crying. "I didnt even mean too.....they hate me even though it was kinda their fault..." I cry harder. I can hardly breathe. "I mean, if they did some of it, we cant blame all of it on you." Ezekiel says as he helps me up. "That's Nolan, Josh and Mason are inside the maze somewhere." He says as Nolan shakes my hand. I walk to a maze wall only to feel a pain in my hand, I look ar my hand to see a black ooze leak into a cut that was left on my arm by Amari. I start to feel light headed, but I stay strong. "Llian! That's dangerous!!" I hear a voice....I look and see a familiar face. Josh. "Josh...." I try crying out weakly. I try to walk to him, I fall on my knees, and then everything went dark.

Fletcher's P.O.V

Where is that worthless piece of shit? "LLIAN! GET OUT HERE!!!!" I scream. Amari walks into his room. "Llian!?!??!?!?!" He yells out. Amari runs out of there, frantically looking for something. "What are you looking for?" I ask him. Amari hands me a note. I read it. "LLIAN RAN AWAY!?!?!?!?" I yell out. "Fletcher!!! There is a dangerous maze out there! Llian could find that and die!!! Then our haunted house could get shut down!!" Amari yells. I run to Austin, "Do you know where Llian went!?!?" I ask in fear. "He is at the maze....Josh ran away a long time ago...Josh could be dead....Llian can die." Austin answers. I open the door and run. I start running, then I see it.....a wall. The wall of stone. I cant break in!!! I feel....very weak....maybe i should take a rest.....everything has gone to a blur and now its dark. I'm blacked out now.
