I never thought I could reason with Taxey, I'd thought she would stab me immediately. Well, looks like now we're walking around these accursed hallways with a potential psychopath. Ty, Seto, and Mitch were all weary of me choosing to take Taxey to reality, but they accepted my idea anyway.

"So Taxey, do you know the way back to the mural?" Mitch asked, walking between me and Taxey protectively.

"Yeah, I do. What, you didn't think I would?" Taxey replied.

Mitch just looked at me, his eyes showing signs of regret.

"Mitch, don't worry. Ok?" I said.

He sighed and just kept walking. Seto and Ty were behind us, they were talking amongst each other in a quiet fashion. Other than that, the little trip was quiet.

We every so often encounter a statue or mannequin head, but Taxey would tell them to not attack us. This left us safe from any harm, and it was a bit weird. Mitch and I have been in this place for so long that we always anticipated for any possible danger.

We made it back, almost. I don't know how but Taxey managed to get us back to where I started. I never thought I would see that familiar hallway again. The two doors, the vase ,the staircase.

"Well, we're almost there. But one small problem, how do we get back up. I've been through here before and how I got down was not pleasant." I brought up, remembering the very vivid near to death experience.

"Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that your still human." She laughed nervously, and cursed silently under her breath.

I could tell she was hiding something again, but I decided to not push it. Although we left the palette knife back there, it still doesn't mean she's not deadly. I sighed, I guess we just have to learn it the hard way.

"Taxey, isn't there any other way to go?" Mitch asked.

"Oh yeah, there might." She replied, and ran off back where we came from.

We all looked at each other and ran after her. She ran inhumanly fast, and we could barely keep up with her.

"Taxey! W-wait up!" Ty panted.

She didn't seem to hear us but I knew where she was leading us. She was leading us to back where I found Mitch.
