The last person standing

In

There is still a question that hasn't left my mind since I fell on that couch. Has the fire been lit all this time? 

Jennifer – Do you think anyone else is in here?

Bella – Well I don't know. I hope not. Do you?

Jennifer – Well yeah, I don't think the fire would have stayed lit for so many hours straight.

 Bella – Well, I'll leave the walkie-talkie with you and I'll go back to grab some water to put out the fire. I'll be right back. 

Jennifer – Don't take too much time, please.

Bella – I'll be back as soon as I can. 

I go back and get two bottles of water. James and Aria were in the kitchen when I went in there, they tried to know what was inside but I only told them that I needed to go back as quick as I could. They respected it and watched me sprint out of there and back upstairs. I got into the passage once again and I started walking in there. As I was walking, I noticed that it is actually going down. I didn't notice this before. I guess that it's too subtle to notice on the first time you go down not knowing what you could encounter. I crawl some more and I notice a turn that I also haven't noticed before. Once I get to the end of the tunnel-like passage, I fall on top of the couch again. Happily, this time Jennifer didn't fall on top of me. She was sitting on the armchair. With a Book sitting on her lap. 

Jennifer – Cool, you're finally here! So, remember the book that was sitting on top of the fireplace?

Bella – There was a book there?

Jennifer – Yeah! Moving on, it was a puzzle that we were supposed to do it together according to a note that was on top of the book but I solved it on my own because I was bored.

Bella – Okay, okay. Did the puzzle give you a clue or a key, something?

Jennifer – Nope, it just said 'challenge completed, you can go back into the house'.

Bella – Well I'll just put out the fire and we can go.

Jennifer – Okay, let me mentally prepare to go back in there.

 As Jennifer did exactly what I needed her to do so we could get out of here quickly I was putting out the fire. Once I had done it I noticed a little tunnel-like door inside

Bella – Hey Jennifer?

Jennifer – When we're alone you can call me Jen.

Bella – Thank you, also, I think I found something. 

Jennifer – What?

Bella – Yeah, come here.

She kneels beside me trying to figure out what I meant.

Bella - You see in the wall thingy that the fire was hiding? 

Jen – What?

Bella – It says 'IN' right here. *I said pointing to it an inch or so above the floor of the fireplace*

Jen – Oh yeah...touch it.

Bella – Why me?

Jen – You found it!

Bella – Okay fine.

 As I touched it we heard a bit of noise, as if there was something heavy moving, only to see the wall thingy move up. Surprisingly, when It stops a person can crawl through. This time, however, we could see exactly what was on the other side. It was a very well illuminated room. It looked like a bigger high school janitor's room.

Jen – We should go and check it out. 

Bella – Are you sure?

Jen – Yeah! 

I get through first. The first thing I do is stand away from the entry so Jennifer could also come in but with my back to the same wall. I look around to find a door on my left side. I walk over to it; the door looks familiar!

Jen – Does this look familiar to you too? *asked while standing behind me*

Bella - A hundred per cent.

Jen – I'm going to take a look around trying to find anything useful. 

Bella – Yeah, I'll do the same.

I'm sure it's been at least five minutes already and I haven't found anything useful so far. Well, nothing tells us that we will but it'll be nice to find something.

Jen – Bella?

Bella – Yeah?

Jen – Come here please. *she asked with a shaky voice*

Bella – Are you okay?

Jen – Yeah, just come here, please.

I walk over to where Jennifer's voice was coming once I couldn't see her. When my gaze met her she was petrified looking at a portfolio looking thing. 

Bella – What is that? *I asked when I was next to her*

 She didn't say anything, she just handed me what she was holding. I looked through it, the information about Jennifer that was there was impressive! A good part of what was written there was new to me. I had no idea she had been in a car accident what put her between life and death. According to the papers I was holding she spent three weeks in the hospital!

Bella – Jen, where did you take this from?

Jen – Here. *she said pushing back a box with 'J2' glued to it*

Bella – Crap.

Jen – What?

Bella – This is giving a massive déjà vu.

Jen – I'm not following, Bella.

Bela – It says 'J2' so, it might be a 'J1' around here with information on James. 

Jen – The whole room thing...

Bella - ...all over again, yes. *I completed her thought*

Jen – We need to tell the others!

Bella – Not yet. Let's walk around the room to see if we find another door or something a person could get through.

Jen – Okay so, besides that door that looks extremely familiar, I found another one. 

Bella – You what?

Jen – It's right there. *she said as she started walking away from me*

I fanatically followed her to this black door highlighted by the whiteness of the walls surrounding it. 

Jen – I haven't touched it yet but I noticed it cause it's black and all. 

Bella – Have you looked at the doorknob?

Jen – Not yet.

Bella – I'll do it. I never analyzed anything as deeply I analyzed that god damn doorknob. Unfortunately, I found nothing.

 Jen – Imma try to open it.

Bella – What are the chances of it being unlocked?

Jen – Certainly not zero though.

Bella – Okay, you're not wrong there.

Jennifer places her hand on the same doorknob I was intensely looking at moments before. Damn, that doesn't sound good. She placed her hand on it and took a deep breath. She pressed down on it, not to my surprise, it was locked.

Jen – At least we tried.

Bella – We should try the other one.

Jen – You're right, let's go!

We ran to the other door. We ran through boxes and bookshelves until we finally reached the door. She quickly placed her hand on it and proceeded to try to open it. Once again unsuccessfully, but it was worth it...right?With that, we decided to finally go back to the house and talk with the others about our finds.
