We came to a stop when the notes were no more also because everyone was complaining about being tired. I saw a mysterious cabin and I figured this is the destination.

Of course going in was the dumbest idea but curse my self for being curious.

"Where are you going?" I here one of the guys say.

"I'll be right out!" I say. Even though it doesn't answer his question it was the first thing I can come up with. I here the wood crackle as I take my first few steps. This is it. This is the moment where I die. Wish me luck. Just kidding.

I gulp as I walk towards the door. I was so ready for what might happen to me that nothing but that door was clear to me. I slowly moved my hand onto the door knob when I felt a hand land on my shoulder.

I shriek as I quickly turn around with so much force that I nearly fall from fear.

"Jeez, its just me. No need to piss your pants" said Eric. I squint my eyes and slowly turn around.

I lay a hand on the door knob and flick my wrist. And then when I opened It I saw nothing but the silhouettes of the dark. What was I waiting for? go in.

"Hey, you OK?" I hear Eric say behind me.

"Ya. I'm just. Focused, let's split up" I say. "How about you too can stay here and search the first floor I'll go down to the basement" I say while clapping my hands once to make a joyful point.

"How about you stay here on the first floor. And we check the basement" Alex said stepping in front of Eric to face me. God he's so Tall.

"Alright but beware the creepy crawlies of the dark" I said wiggling a few fingers around in sarcasm.

"I'm not scared" Alex said behind me as I walked around" the place looked old but new as if someone had purposely put the dust around and teared up the walls.

It smelled like sand dust and I decided to stop snooping in the main area and start at a room.

I found an old jug box in the next room that wasn't on but definitely looked like it still worked. I bent down and dusted it off from the top where some hidden words laid unnoticed. Sort of creepy.

I squinted my eyes and looked at the words.

"Owned by: Pen Joyce" I wonder who that could be? Wait. The notes. The guy who attacked me! Could he be? Could that name belong to him? I stood up and slowly turned around. Shit! This is his cabin. And I just know he's behind me. I can feel him breathing on the hairs of my neck. I gulped before looking behind me with the corner of my eyes then turning around.

"Surprise" the man said while holding up a knife. I almost screamed but with a knife now inches away from my throat I think the best thing now is to zip it.

He put the knife in his pocket still watching me as he grabbed shackles from his other pocket.

"Stay quiet. You know your consequences right" he said quietly. A tear ran down my cheek as I felt him tie the cloth in my mouth."I'm quite happy you were dumb enough to follow the path of notes" he said. I was about to say.

"I'm not stupid because right now in about 40 seconds you'll be sorry"

But instead I stayed quite and tried not to show any signs of fear. After tying the ropes to my feet and arms, He turned around and went to the closet of the old fashioned room.

This place was so raggedy and old I'm nothing more than sure that there was broken glass shards. And thankfully I'm right. I carefully slide myself to the other side of the Jug box where the broken window was by. I raised myself to my tippy toes as i spread the curtains ever so slightly trying to not make squeaky noises. After that I squirmed my hands around to cut the ropes with the broken shards after that I was able to slip of of the foot shackles easily. But just in case I grab a glass shard and try to use it as a weapon.

Wait. I'm so stupid. Why can't I just jump out the window? I felt an arm wrap around my stomach and pull me into it/him.

"Trying to escape huh? Nice try babe" Pen said.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Because your Father was my friend. But sadly it didn't last. He betrayed me. Hurt me. And now-" he said before rising his knife to my neck. "It's my time to return the favor" he said as he turned me around quickly and leaned me on the window. I held up my hands in defence. This was going to end so unfortunate for me. He raised his knife and before you know it.

A gun shot fired. And I didn't dare open my eyes to see a dead body.

Pens dead body. I felt hands grab me and pick me off from the window. I opened my eyes and saw Alex comforting me in his arms. And while I hugged Alex I saw Eric behind him holding the gun still with furrowed eyebrows in anger still pointing the gun to his body. He dropped the gun same for his hands.

It's over. Everything is alright.
