Walking the Maze (Xadrian and Annabella)

[xadrian]

Xadrian bit his lip in disappointment. Their last guess was incorrect. Luckily though, their helper allowed them another try to guess what the item might be that felt like skin. Suddenly, Xad had a brilliant idea. He felt with his hand something that he had not felt before. On the opposite side of the slimy smooth feeling of the 'skin,' he noticed a slightly dry feel along with a fuzzy texture. It reminded him of the outside of a peach and the peach fuzz that felt similar to the little hair that covers the skin. "Could it be a pile of peach peels?" he questioned, hoping that this time his guess was correct. He wasn't sure if they would get any more chances if he was wrong. His heart sped up a bit as he waited for either Annabella to agree or for the girl to acknowledge if he was right or wrong.

Annabella felt a little disappointed as, they had been doing so good up until this point. Oh well...the bowls were bound to get harder as they went on anyways. She just hoped Xadrian was not mad at her, for guessing wrong. She heard a scream coming from the distance, as their guide told them that they could have another, guess. She bit her lip as she felt around some more, she could also feel Xad's hand feeling around as well. When she heard what Xadrian had guessed, she felt around some more trying to feel what he had. When she ran across the dry area, with a fuzzy feel to it, she sighed softly and nodded her head. "Yeah....I'm going agree with Xadrian and say peach peels."

[Little Lindsey Volunteer]

Lindsey smiled gleefully and nodded, but that didn't do too well. She led their hands to the next bowl, "Feel these drops of his blood. All the rest turned to mud." She peered into the bowl and shook her head, they get harder and harder each time they came upon a new bowl. With a small sigh, Lindsey whispered; "You've come so far, don't give up, just one more guess, c'mon do your best."

((Both of you do not have to guess this time. Just one.))

Xad smiled when the volunteer led them to the next item. Apparently his second guess on the skin was correct. He listened as she explained that they only had one more to go. He and Anabella were doing well, or at least he thought they were. There were only a few that he thought were somewhat tough, and the last one was the only one that they needed two guesses for. Just a couple more tries and they should be ready to move on, he figured.

Blood he thought to himself as he felt toward the bottom of the bowl. There was a small, shallow puddle formed, and he felt droplets of the liquid clinging to the sides of the container. It was obvious that it was some type of liquid, but he wasn't quite sure what. It could have been almost anything. Well, anything besides water. He had always heard the phrase "blood is thicker than water." If he could only just think of some type of liquid that was a little bit thicker than water was. Well, there was milk, juice, soda... He thought of all the basic liquids that he knew of. They were all pretty close to the same thickness as water though. But then he had a good idea- oil! He knew that oil was somewhat thicker than water, and it was the only thing he could think of. "Is it oil?" he asked, in a slightly unsure voice. He hoped that it was so that they could move on to the final bowl. His heart sped up a bit as he waited for the girl to respond.

[Annabella Valentine H3]

It seemed that their secon guess had been right, as they were now moved on to the next bowl. She listened to the story and it seemed, that blood was next on the list. She bit her lip as she moved her fingers around, there were so many guesses that could be made, as to what it was. But she was satisfied with Xad's answer. She took her hand out of the bowl, and waited for the guide, to say weather he was right or not.
