His Beautiful Addiction

''We'll just look at it? ''

Bella asked, and she nodded;

''Yes. ''

''Alright, finish eating your food, and we'll go. ''

''No, I'm done eating; I'll just keep the plates in the kitchen. ''

Her eagerness to see the maze filled her up. She couldn't even eat again. Standing up, she took their plates and kept them in the kitchen.

''Alright let's go. ''

She said to Bella as she stepped into the dining room and they both walked out of the house.

''It's a little far from here and quiet. It kind of has an eerily feel, I don't like going there. ''

Bella explained, her face scrunched up in displeasure.

''Oh my, I just love the sound of that!''

Tiana exclaimed excitedly; Bella turned to look at her;

''What? ''

''Yea, it sounds like a horror movie! I love horror movies, it's exciting! ''

Bella watched her eagerness and at that moment, she knew that it would be hard preventing her from entering the maze.

They walked past the pond and into a little pathway which had tall trees planted on both sides; as they walked down the pathway, it grew quiet, just the chirping of birds were heard which slowly died out into the distance as they walked further in.

''I told you, this place is scary, let's go back.''

Bella said and Tiana immediately shook her head;

''Come on, we're almost there, we shouldn't turn back now. ''

She pleaded and Bella sighed;

''Fine, but we shouldn't go in, ''

''Alright ''

Tiana replied, but she knew that nothing would prevent her from entering the maze.

Bella continued walking forward, and she followed eagerly.

''Wow! ''

Tiana exclaimed as a beautiful sight met her eyes.

''It's so tall! You can't even climb!''

She exclaimed aweing at the sight in front of her;

''Yeah, that's the more reason you shouldn't go in because you can't even climb your way out. ''

Bella explained and Tiana chuckled;

''mm, let me take a closer look. ''

She said and walked closer to the maze.

''Tiana, don't go in, ''

Bella warned, and Tiana nodded right away;

''I know, I'm just going to take a closer look, that's all. ''

She said and inched closer to the maze;

''Wow! This is amazing! ''

Tiana exclaimed, walking around the maze and touching the thick bush of flowers.

''Yeah, very! Now, it's time to go. ''

Bella said;

''Argh, so early, let's stay a little more. ''

Tiana whined, but Bella shook her head;

''No, we can't. Let's go now, I know you want to get in but we'll come some other time, maybe in the morning, so before it's late you have found your way out. ''

Tiana heaved a sigh; ''Okay, let's go. ''

She replied and Bella turned around and started walking forward;

''It's exciting if you go in during the day but it's scary at night and it's already past three… ''

Bella stopped talking when she did not hear any footsteps following behind; she immediately turned and her face paled when she did not see any trace of Tiana;

''Tiana!! ''

She exclaimed as she ran back to the maze and when she got to the entrance she stopped, her eyes fell to the ground and she saw fresh footmarks then she knew Tiana had entered the maze.

''Tiana! Tiana, you need to come out!''

She screamed, but she did not hear any reply.

If she knew Tiana was this stubborn, she wouldn't have brought her here in the first place. Now she would have to wait for her to come out of the maze. Bella angrily walked to a nearby column and sat down. She was not even with her phone, making the wait more boring.

6 hours later…

Tiana had not come out of the maze and it was already late into the night; there was no-one in sight and the quietness of the place made everything scarier.

Bella was already sweating from fear, she hated the darkness and coupled with the creepiness of the place, she was almost peeing in her pants.

She had walked around the maze screaming Tiana's name but there was no reply, she was already nervous. She had warned her not to get into the maze, now who would find her?

She couldn't go into the maze because she would get lost too, and she was the only one who could get help. She waited another one hour but Tiana did not come out. Giving up, she turned around and ran back towards the mansion, to find help.

…

Nicklaus was working in his study since he had come back early; suddenly an email popped up on the screen, he clicked on it and scanned through the contents;

It was a document he needed to review, he wanted to forward it to Fredrick but on a second thought he decided to print it out and let Tiana review it. Quickly he sent it to the printer, and in the matter of seconds, the document was printed.

He stood up and took the documents, stapling them together; walking to his room, he dialed on the house telephone;

It rang a few seconds; then Ma Lee picked up;

''Send Tiana upstairs ''

He said and dropped the telephone, walking back to his study.

Nicklaus looked towards his door, his brows creased; thirty minutes had passed, yet she was not yet up.

Just when he stood up to inquire what was keeping her, the telephone started ringing;

He strode towards the bedside and picked up the telephone, placing it on his ear;

''Boss… The Miss is nowhere to be found. ''
