Alison

Walking through the dark alley, we (Crayton, Felicity, Artemis, and myself) search for newly awaken mazeborns. Hoping, at least, we rescue some, rather than none at all. I've heard stories, rumors, about this place. Klinkers - random looking vicious monsters created to not make anyone in or out this maze - that appear out of nowhere, walls shifting - sometimes, even barely knowing what's on the other side - from time to time.

Crayton, is like my poker-face-type of a big brother. He makes sure I'm safe, no matter the circumstances. Keeps me hidden because of my colour. He's been with me even before I met Felicity and Artemis. He's a green. I'm not really sure what his specialty is...

Felicity, an elder-like sister of mine that teases everyone she gets comfortable with and likes tugging on anyone she gets too close with. She makes sure any newbie would never feel out of place, no matter how random she gets. She's a red, strength is her specialty.

Artemis, the strict kind of brother anyone would ever have. He makes sure everything goes according to plan, everyone does what they're suppose to do. He may be strict but he's caring and kind. He even have a soothing voice that makes you feel safe. He's a blue, his specialty? Ally enhancement: he enhances any specialty anyone has.

Me, Alison. I'm a pink, a rare colour that barely ever survives. Many would call me freak, outcast, abnormal, alien.. and many other names. I was forced to live in secrecy, Crayton as my big brother. He would hide me from any danger. Ever since I was being called names and I never met a pink, I don't even know what pinks are like, what my specialty is... Not since my first-hand experience, a long time ago, which made me learn to hide the glow of my mark.

I don't even know how long we've been strolling around these alleys, that I started to trudge unconsciously. Felicity - wearing red shirt and blue jeans - has been teasing Artemis randomly from time to time, while Crayton - wearing a green shirt and black pants - keeps a watch around us incase something appears. Artemis - wearing blue shirt and black pants - has been guiding us towards the cells where they held the newly awaken mazeborns.

"It should be around here somewhere..." Artemis said, looking at his map.

"I get the feeling that we've been walking in circles." Felicity complained.

"We'll fine what we're looking for, just stay alert." He commanded.

"You're not the boss of me." Felicity snorted.

"Yo, you okay?" Knocking me back to my senses, I realized that Felicity had been loitering to match my pace.

"Yes, everything's cool." Was all I could think of saying.

Poke

I realized that Crayton slowed down to match my pace. Poking me by the arm and asking, "you sure?"

I look at him, "yeah."

He looks at me, examining me.

"What...?" Asking him anxiously.

He looks at me, sternly, with his deep brown eyes making my skin crawl. I hate it when he does that. When I can't take the tension, so I mumble under my breathe and say, "..just a little tired.."

He sighed and went to Artemis and whispers something to him. Then they both stopped and turned to face us.

Artemis says, "okay, we've been wandering around this place for a while now. Let's take a quick break, but stay alert. We don't know when an enemy will appear. Everyone, got it?"

"Finally!" Felicity exhaled, as if she were too tired.

Felicity jumps in excitement tapping rapidly on me then runs towards Artemis, tackling him. I walk towards the wall and sat against it, pulling my knees to my chest and resting my head on it, making my hair fall to cover my face. Crayton sits beside me and places his arm around me, while his other hand brushes off my hair from my face. I hear Felicity's clattering and Artemis growling at her.

"You're too focused since we got here. Chillax a bit, would ya?" Felicity said.

"Something can happen anytime, especially here, in the maze." Artemis argued.

"He's right." Crayton agreed.

"She alright?" I hear Artemis ask, once he was close to us.

"She's a bit warm but she'll be fine." Crayton said, solemnly, but with worry hidden in it. So that the others won't have to worry about it.

"Ok, breaks done, lets go." Artemis commanded.

"Awww..." Felicity complained. "Done already? But we just stopped..."

"We're here for a mission, not just slacking around." Artemis said, walking away.

I stood up, exhaling heavily as I follow Artemis.

"Who made him in-charge?" Felicity said, moping.

Artemis turned just to give Felicity a stern glare. Making Felicity flinch as she exchanged glare with Artemis, sticking her tongue out at him.

I flinched, feeling something at the other side of the wall. Walking towards the wall, it bend just inches before me with a thud.

"Alis-" Felicity called out.

I shot my head up towards them. Felicity looked surprised. Artemis had his arm out trying to reach me. Crayton glowed green, artering his speed just fast enough to be able to push me away from the wall, tackling me.

CREAK

The wall starts to shrink, squeaking. Then the wall blasts its way straight ahead. Two girls and a guy appeared from where the wall was once placed.
