@olcharlieboi The beast lunges at them both. Maria shifts back to human as Charles half collapses against the wall. She raises her hand as it opens its huge mouth...
She shoves her whole hand in its mouth, shifting her arm into a sword before it clenches down on the metal, shoving her blade deep into its brain. Its whole weight still thrusting forward, her body moves backwards. Both of them collapse against the ground. The only difference was one of them wasn't breathing any more.
Shifting back to human form, exhausted, Maria pulls her arm out, saliva drooling down in ropes. She gives a good shake of her hand and shivers.
Disgusting. She pulls Charles up with her non-gross hand and wraps her arm around his ribs, helping him up.
"Let's find the damn end to this hell hole." She walks with him around corners. A cool breeze hits her face, she drinks in the fresh air.
"If there's an air current, there has to be an end to this place. And that means we're really close. Ugh I'm totally going to take a hot shower after this."

@sassy1085 Scarlet and Cara start moving faster... so close so close... Cara feels the fresh air against her face. Ugh how wonderful it felt. She kept running, so close to ending it. She runs through the door of the maze and collapse when she breaks through.
