And I'll be taking over for now because Mia, well, I'm not quite sure where she is. And besides, this isn't just her story. Much as I like her, she can be a little paranoid and melodramatic, don't you think? But who could blame her? We were keeping a big secret from her and it's only natural her imagination got the best of her. We thought it was for her own good. But secrets and lies always have a way of coming back to bite you in the buns. Don't believe me? Just read on. My heart was beating like a jackhammer. I took a bunch of deep breaths to slow down the adrenaline pumping through my veins. Coming through the labyrinth was the biggest rush in the world, at least it was once you got used to it. My first time through was like the world's worst case of carsickness, and I threw up all over Alex. Now, I knew better then to try and stand right away. I had to be still for a while to let my body adjust and to wait for my molecules to stop zipping around like fireflies on an espresso high.
