Chapter 7 by Moot Moot

What's next?

Assistance...with a cost!

Vanessa spent the next 10 minutes feeling like she'd been going around in circles. She was certain she'd walked past the same corner over and over again. She began to get very frustrated. She stopped dead in her tracks, bent her back and screamed at the top of her lungs in anger. "WHERE THE FUCK DO I GOO!!!" She screeched, her voice echoing around the maze.

She slammed her high heels through the maze yet again, determined to find the center. She hadn't noticed until now, that there was a wooden box attached to one of the hedges she'd been continuously walking past for 10 minutes. The box made a chiming noise, lasting a couple of seconds, as Vanessa walked past it for the 10th time.

The former CEO stopped, spotted the box, and walked over to it. A sticker was stuck on the front of the box, it read: "Need assistance? Use me for a price!". Vanessa smiled, she'd finally found a way out of this loop. She couldn't care less about a price, with her being a millionaire.

Vanessa opened the box from the side, opening small wooden door. All that was inside the box was a red button. Vanessa didn't hesitate to push the button, eager to get this whole thing over with. Suddenly, out of nowhere, robotic arms with white hands attached to the ends shot out from within the bush. They each grabbed one of Vanessa's limbs and pinned her to the hedge behind her.

Vanessa shrieked in shock. "AAHHH!! WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING!!" Vanessa yelled, she tried to move but the arms kept her firmly spread eagle across the hedge. "The cost for directions!" The robotic voice she'd to deal with on the last two dead ends spoke.

A final arm stretched out of the hedge, carrying a permanent marker pen. "Oh noooo you don't!! Those are impossible to wash out!" Vanessa struggled, she tried to move away from the pen but was unable to. The arm went to work, drawing on Vanessa's face. She screamed and tried to wriggle around, but another arm held her head completely still.

Once the arm was finished, all of them retracted back to into the hedge. The last one reappeared momentarily to place a mirror and a sheet of paper inside the box. Vanessa, who had stumbled to the ground, marched over to the box furiously. She picked up the mirror first, and gasped. The arm had drawn a comedic curly mustache above her mouth, and had written "Fool" on her forehead.

Vanessa shaked with anger, furious beyond words. "....When I get out of here... I'll have all of their heads!" She threw the mirror on the floor, causing it to crack. Vanessa then snatched the paper from the box, which was indeed directions to the next section of the maze. Vanessa stormed off, following the directions.
