Ballroom

As the two girls entered through the archway, they found themselves standing in a large open ballroom. The black and white tiled floor in front of them expanded to form a large dance floor, a chandelier up above providing some decoration. Or at least it would have, but the room was far kinkier than that. Scattered around the room were black figures seemingly frozen in poses and lewd positions. One girl was kneeling with her hands in her lap and her mouth wide open. Another statue of a girl was bent over as she grabbed her ankles. Yet all that paled in comparison to the chandelier itself which was composed of latex sacks that swayed gently back and forth and with a start samantha realized there were people trapped in the latex sacks up there.

"So what now?"

Rachel simply pointed to the corner where a crystal ball sat on a pedestal. "We get that, and we get to the door on the other side. Then we are in the clear."

"Okay, but how? Im really hoping this isnt trial and error."

Rachel rolled her eyes and smiled. "Relax Sam. Its simple as long as you have a good memory. Ever play simon says?" As she spoke, rachel stepped up to the edge of the floor where a single tile was marked in red and jutting up much farther than the others. As Rachel stepped on it, the room was plunged into darkness. As Samantha held her breath in anticipation, suddenly the floor lit up, a pattern of blue glowing tiles that zigzagged across the room. As she traced the outline, suddenly there was a click and with a flash, the lights came back on.

"There you have it. Hope your memory is good because we cant reactivate that sequence."

So that was it. Memorize the pattern of dozens of safe tiles and then cross. Simple in concept, sure.

"Relax Sammy. I can get us to the crystal ball. But ill be depending on you to get us to the exit door. Oh, and if you screw up, we will both end up as statues down there to be fucked by the hunters at their convenience so...dont screw up."

As they headed across the floor, Rachel seemed to have a perfect memory of the route to the crystal ball. She walked with absolute confidence and every step she took was safe. As they reached the ball, Rachel hefted it and tucked it under her arm. "Okay. I memorized this part because it was the longest chunk of the route. But now its your turn. Okay?"
