"What time?"
"Time to wait and see!" She announced.
"See what?" Her sister asked her.
"Why are you interrogating me? You just wait and see," she said.
"Day one? Are we going to be here for long?" Lucy asked. Mia's words had finally caught her attention and made her voice out.
"We don't know, baby girl but there is a possibility seeing that the door hasn't been opened by now. How long have we been locked in here?" She asked, suddenly sitting up and looking at everyone in an expectant manner.
"Probably two hours?" Chris interjected.
"Two hours?" Some of them chorused.
"I think it took more than two hours," Mia said, lying back on the ground. She definitely is shameless to lie on the bare ground.
"Why did you say that?" Saya asked.
"When the door shut initially, there was a space out. I felt I zoom out but realisation came and everyone sort for light and the rest," she explained. She also felt what I felt.
"Then we don't have to be here!" Maya announced.
"What are you trying to do?" I heard Amy say to her as she lifted her bag.
"Where else will I go? We need to leave this place to be able to get out of this cave, I guess," she responded.
"You guess? You aren't even sure," Charlotte said to her.
"Then are we just going to sit here? Waiting for what? For who? When?" She asked in anger, turning back to glare at her.
"What do you mean?" Mia asked her.
"What do I mean? I mean that we need to get out of here," she yelled, "someone just died, do you think this place is safe?" She said looking agitated.
"And to think she died because she touched the wall when we were clearly told not to, though she got what she deserves for disobeying a very loud instruction from a weird guardian but isn't that more than enough hint that this place is not safe?" Maya announced.
"How can you say that? How can you say she deserves what happened to her? How can you!" Zoey yelled.
Well, everything was getting intense. So, what is wrong? What is right? Is Maya right? Or is she just being paranoid? But I don't think so, everything she said is true, correct but that doesn't mean the place is dangerous, if we had just followed the instructions then we are good to go, right?
"Then what is that door for?" Maya asked, pointing at the door, the only visible door in this room. Woah! When did they get there? What are they even doing there?
"The door looks accessible!" Andrew yelled from where he stood not too far from the said door.
"Do you hear that?" Maya said with a smirk.
"So?" Mia snapped.
"The door is accessible! What if that is our safehouse? Our only means of escape? Just what?" She yelled, startling me. I definitely have lost the will to talk, move or even listen but I have to listen.
"This is our safehouse! This place is safe if you just fucking abide by the rule, will all this have happened if that… that… that im… that," she yelled, snapping at the end, "if that… lady had listen and paid attention to a clear instruction? No, none of this will have happened and you won't think of going through some door that has been standing there since we entered this cave. So let's just stay where we are and hope for the better. Who knows, Teach Caroline might be trying to get us out of here. If we decide to leave then we miss our quick shot at leaving this place.” she explained intelligently.
“I agree with her, we have all we need to survive this place, food, water, sleep bags… we can survive here and watch out for any rescue team that might be employed by Teach Caroline because I know for sure that she won’t abandon us here,”Saya added.
“What are you guys spitting out of your mouth? This place is not safe! NOT SAFE!” She yelled and I definitely felt the foundation of this cave quiver.
“What are you saying?” Mia asked, frowning. “What makes you so sure that this isn’t our safehouse?” She added.
“HER!” She yelled, pointing at the dead girl. Her loud voice was beginning to hurt my ears, I felt sorry for them.
“Can you please just shut up! You have been making stupid and disrespectful comments towards the dead and that is rude, we all know Hartley was disobedient which lead to her death but it isn’t something you wish your enemy nor friends,” the gang leader of the five ‘ey’, Zoey said and I find it hard to comprehend that she was the one who just said this sensible words without mincing words. Maybe I need to stop assuming someone is like something without even having a bare minimum of information on them. I will definitely stop, it isn’t good for myself and my reputation.
“So?” Maya questioned, “in essence what’s the point behind your tales that you just narrated,” she added.
“And that’s enough! We will all be here till Teach Caroline comes for us, they are definitely doing something to get us out of here,” Saya said buttering in.
“How are you so sure, are you in one way connecting or should I say connected to Teach Caroline for you to know what and what is not going on?" She also questioned Saya.
"It's common sense, babe! Common sense!” She said with frustration. “Where do we get common sense for this young…" she added before getting interrupted.
"Umm, lady…" she cut in with some sort of authority.
"What?” Zoey asked, confused.
“She might try saying ‘girl’, Iam no girl but a lady,” she announced.
“You are definitely sick,” a beautiful asian girl with this crazy beautiful mullet uttered.
“Finley, stay out of this,” Zoey yelled.
“What did you just say?” Maya also yelled simultaneously at the girl. Oh, so she is a part of the ey girls? Woah!
Before I could blink my eyes, Maya was on the girl, slapping the hell out of her. Woo, that isn’t good! Saya and Zoey are trying their best to get her off Finley and everyone just kept shouting, not even trying to help them.
“Oi!” I yelled, getting up to help out but Mia beat me to it by kicking Maya off her. For a few minutes, there was a total deafening silence as Mia and Maya kept staring at each other to death.
“Aahaahaahaahaah!” Filled the room without a source. Like a roar. Was there a Lion here? Hiding somewhere?
“Who was that?” Saya asked. Negative reaction from everyone.
“Aahaahaahaahaah!” Came again but louder than the first one, now I was feeling some sensation running through my legs. A small sharp jolt to my feet, my boots weren’t a hindrance. Everyone’s face wrote plain fear and confusion as to what is going on. This isn’t a lion, bro!
“Something is wrong,” Mia yelled, “but it will be fine,” she added reassuring everyone.
“Aahaahaahaahaah!” Followed closely was a sudden shaking movement of the ground which stopped for a while before coming back in a faster rapid motion through the ground.
“The ground is tearing! Run!” That was the loudest I have ever heard form Saya.
“What the heck?” Mia said aloud, I stood upright and there before me was the most dense woods I have ever seen. I turned to look at the door we all just ran through and it was there, IT WAS THERE!
“Oh my gosh!’ I cried.

Ulric’s Point Of View “Hell no!” "Oh my goodness! Oh my goodness!" Charlotte cried. Everybody was saying one or two things as they realised that we were fucked up. There was no returning door, we couldn't go back to where we were a while ago, it hadn't even been up to five minutes. We don't even know where we are anymore, this might look like we are standing in what someone might call the entrance to the woods but this isn't normal. This isn't supposed to be, how can the woods be in a cave? This defies all odds, scientifically, physically, and so on or maybe not mentally because our minds can be playing games with us now and we might not know. But I'm not surprised because this cave has been full of shitty wonders since I stepped or rather set my eyes in this cave, from the first day this trip was announced. "Why did you drag me here? Why did you pull me with you? Just why?" I heard someone cry bitterly, hitting someone on the chest. Oh! It was the Justal couple, Justin and C
The Escape Room Day 61
Unknown Point Of View"What day is it?" He asked, using a stick to beat a rock lightly out of frustration. But he isn't as frustrated as I am."Day hundred?" Milicent replied with a doubt."No! It isn't!" A voice said from the crowd."Then what day is it?" I asked yelling. My voice, carrying the anger I was hiding from my face."I think two hundred!" The voice exclaimed and all heads turned to her direction."You say what?" Charlotte asked, surprised."What has day got to do with our situation? It won't solve anything and instead will keep on increasing if we don't act fast. Who knows what before us now!" Eunice exclaimed. That got everybody and she was right, we don't know what we will face when we take the next few steps. "Let us all stay prepared and alert, something might appear from anywhere, you know that right?" The timid girl said, now she has something to talk to the group about. It isn't her fault."As always!" The big guy in our midst yelled from the back."This is a daily

Ulric's Point Of View"Oh my God!" "Where is he?""Andrew!" We were all calling out to him."What happened? He was here one minute and he wasn't the next minute," I asked Joyce, she seems terrified. Visible shaking!"I don't know," she replied before she started crying."I was just talking to him when he lost it and started walking away when he stop suddenly and started looking to his left and right, gripping hard to his sword then he tripped and fall then boom, he was swept off," she explained still crying while my eyes survey our environment for the creature I saw earlier."I should have paid more attention to what he was looking at than at him or instead quickly try to help him when he fell," she complained."You did your best, Joyce! You can't blame yourself or anybody for anybody's death here," I consoled her but it wasn't working."It's fine! It's going to be fine! It will," I said reassuring her but more to myself."Guys!" Saya screamed, startling all of us but I knew where it

What if those shadow creatures reside here? You see how one of them stood before the stream the other time," Milicent emphasized."Then you shouldn't have come in anyway," Mia yelled but she was facing the other direction. What is she playing?"Are you talking to me?" Milicent called out to her, getting upset."Miss, can you just shut your trap and focus on the damned mission?" Mia questioned still looking at the other side."You are obviously not talking to me," Milicent said."Who is the rat making noise?" Mia questioned before turning to look at her."What?" Asked Millicent. These two shouldn't have been chosen in anywhere, Mia should have been left behind but everyone was visible trying to avoid being called out by Saya. If Milicent had stayed back, obviously Amy will chop her head

I groaned as I got out of bed and shut the brat up. "Not your fault!" "Ulric!" Someone yelled before barging into my room."Haven't you learnt to knock yet?" I asked without turning to the intruder or intruders."Good morning!""Good morning!" In a singy tone."Ya! Same to yous, now get out of my room," I said finally turning to them."Yous?

I will miss you guys too and your unnecessary troubles but I surely will be back by tomorrow evening, latest. So don't miss me too much," I said to them before ruffling their hair. "Then who will play video games with us? We have nobody to do that with us," Ultan asked. "Oh, you can always ask Ultima to help you," I said to them."I have to go now," I announced. I could see people filing in one after the other with their camping bags. "Be safe baby boy and always remember we love you," Mum said looking concerned. What's wrong? I'm worried because my mom's gut feelings are becoming more serious."Of course I know this and what's with all this talk like

We were standing in front of the said cave, by the front of the door where its stones appear different from the rest of the body. I was just taken away by the pattern of the stones on the wall of the cave, it looked like it was drawn or carved by someone or some people. "Hey!" Andrew called out to me, hitting me by the side. "What?" I snapped, he just pulled me from my world. "Are you even listening?" Jack asked me as I stared at a particular pattern on the wall.

But now, she isn't moving anymore nor breathing. Her friends aren’t helping matters, we have been trying to revive her for the past ten minutes, no response, no pulse, no heart movement. "She is dead!" Elian announced for the umpteenth time today. He isn’t helping matters either. "We get man! We get it, so please just shut up," Jack shouted at him from where he was sitting criss crossed, beside me. It sounded far off. Weird! For some reasons best unknown to me, I wasn’t just motivated to move from where I was and do anything, even to preserve my image. "Come on man, don't say that," I warned, using the noisy background to my favour. "Don't, please!" He came off harshly. "Hartley! Please!" There was a loud piercing cry. This definitely broke the Ey girls' heart, I haven't seen them this distraught since I knew
