                         Kapitel 3: Nami and the maze
                         ----------------------------


I feel cold grass under me. What’s happening? Where is the light? I open my
eyes. But the first moment I can’t see so well, because it’s really dark. I
only see what is 5 meters around me. After that, there is fog. Wet fog. Then I
recognise that I’m alone. Where are the guys? Why don’t they protect a lady?
It’s typical for them, but in this forest. I don’t think, that they would
leaf me alone here… Wait. Forest? I’m not in that forest anymore. But what
is it? A couple of moments later, I know it. It’s not a forest. It’s a maze.
The walls are so big, that I can’t climb up. I´ll have to go and find the way
to the others. But, are they here too? I don’t know: ‘Guys? Do you hear me?
Please help me.’ It’s silent like before. My head goes down. I’m alone.
I...I... must get out of here. Yes, I must go back to the others. They can’t
go away. ‘Guys?’ No answer. I begin to run. I don’t know where I’m
running. I don’t know if it is the right direction. I don’t know everything.
The only important think is, to get out of here. Fast. Then, there is a noise
behind me. I turn around and going to fall, but in the last moment I catch a
branch and rescue me so from falling. But behind me is nothing. My hard beats
faster. Why is there a noise because of nothing? ‘Ok Nami, don’t think about
it,’ I tell myself. You begin to see ghosts. I must come down. Suddenly there
is a second noise. Now I’m sure I heard it. It was on my right side. But also
this time there is nothing. ‘Luffy?’ No answer. ‚Zolo?’ I am going to
panic. ‘Usopp, that’s not funny!’ I run faster. More hands are unnatural
shaking. I´m afraid. So afraid, that I can’t think. I only run. Run. Out of
this maze. Out of this forest. Back to the others. Fast. The noises behind me
become louder. Now the maze is moving. It seams like the walls are moving. And
the sound is going to come near. I’m running faster than ever. My breath goes
unregulary and my hard beats really hard against my cheek. Wind comes up. The
noises come nearer and nearer. It sounds, like they are only one step behind me,
but there is nothing. Only the bad feeling. I begin to cry in fear. Suddenly I
fell to the ground. The wind pulls on my cloth and I hold my arms up to protect
my face. I scream: ‘Luffy! Where are you? Help me please.’ I’m crying and
can’t stop. All at once, arms laid around me. I open my eyes and see blue
hair. ‘Vivi!’ ‘Quiet!’ She holds me tight and pull her clother. I’m so
afraid, she will leave me alone. I hear her voice again: ‘Hear me. Wait for
Luffy!’ Then suddenly the wind and the noises are gone. My body lays on, this
time, warm grass and it’s not dark here. But Vivi is gone.
