12 Level Eleven

12 Level Eleven Violet gasped. "Level eleven? That's the one you always lose!" "That's right," Jolt said. "I always get lost in the maze. But I feel really good about my chances this time!"

Jolt dashed into the maze. He ran down a hallway and made a left turn. "Violet, what's going on?" Leon asked. "And why is that blue guy from my room here?" Sprite frowned. I guess we can't keep the secret from Leon anymore, Violet thought. "The blue guy is a gremlin. He trapped you in this video game," Violet said. "We have to catch him and trick him so we can all get out of here!" She ran down the hallway. Leon ran after her. "But that's not part of the game!" he said.

"It is now," Violet said. "Hurry up! Follow that gremlin!" She made a left turn. There was another hallway. Jolt was nowhere in sight. Leon stepped in front of her. "Let me lead," he said. "I know this level really well. I can get us through it fast." "Right. You've probably done this a million times!" Violet agreed.

Violet and Sprite followed Leon. They made turn after turn after turn. But there was no sign of Jolt.

"That blue gremlin guy wouldn't let me play my own game this morning," Leon said. "What's his problem?" "He just really likes video games," Violet replied. Suddenly, Leon pulled her down to the floor of the maze. "Hey!" Violet cried. Leon pointed up at a giant bird flying overhead. "You have to duck right here, or the hawk swoops down and gets you." "Thanks," Violet said.

They stood up and kept running. Then they heard a voice: "Drat!" It was Jolt. "Double drat!" Jolt cried. "Over here," Leon said. He made a right turn. Violet and Sprite followed. Jolt was at a dead end. There was nowhere to turn. "I hate this maze!" he shouted.
