Hide

Atrius wakes up before dawn and finds the temple—the house at the center of the maze. The monster kills him.

When Mack awakens, she is surprised to see Ava sleeping next to her. She agrees to hide with Ava again, telling herself that the arrangement is just temporary, but in reality, she feels comforted by the other woman’s presence. They hide together on a slide ride with a tall central platform that allows them to see much of the park. Mack feels anxious at the thought of seeing what has been making the strange noises. As they settle down for the day, Ava quietly tells Mack that if Jaden isn’t eliminated today, she will beat him up.

Meanwhile, Rebecca finds the carousel where Rosiee hid earlier and is disturbed to see the other woman’s jewelry and a lot of blood. She exits the carousel in a hurry, shouting for help. From their perch, Mack and Ava hear Rebecca. As they try to decide if it’s a trick, they hear a horrific scream. LeGrand rushes by them, following the sound. Mack knows that the scream is a real scream, not a joke or a ruse, and she turns to see that Ava has squeezed her eyes shut.
