The Nulls (Rewritten)

Chapter 5

It has been an hour of silence and countless minutes of hunger. Amber's eyes were heavy, as if she was going to fall asleep soon.
"How about we rest a bit?" she asked eagerly. "Yeah, I was thinking of that too."
"There's a truck over there, we could sit down." The rest nodded and walked over to the truck.
Ruby sat down and stuffed her hand in her bag, grabbing a box and opening it. Inside were fruits like apples, oranges and grapes. Pine's eyes beamed at the fruits, taking one and munched on it. Rudy handed everyone some fruits and placed the box on the flat part of the truck so it wouldn't fall. Amber took the time to take out her pocket camera, snapping multiple pictures of her friends and the scenery, it was nice and peaceful.

"WOOO! I'm full of energy now, let's get going" Pine exclaimed, stretching. "Right, everyone agrees to keep going?" Ruby asked, crossing her arms.

Amber was looking down, her hands laid on her legs each step she took, everyone was exhausted. Suddenly she stopped, causing all the people behind her to bump into each other. Both Pine and Ruby let out a groan. "Why'd you stop?" questioned Dinner. "Is this the place...?"
Pine leaned over to the newspaper Amber was holding. "Northfold Street 17, District 3, Hollowshire" it read. "Yeah, it seems like it." Lunch stated.

The building was sure huge, and long. The left side of the building was more square than the other parts, Amber also heard the faint sound of water, maybe it was the sea? Ruby's pat on the back forced her to go back to reality, "What are you waiting for?" she commented, before stepping inside. Lunch, Dinner and Pine followed quickly after. Amber chuckled slightly and went through the entrance, inside were metal bars that surrounded them, there was boxes and multiple blood stains on the floor. Dinner and Lunch were in front of the group, they were facing the door. "What's wrong? Why are you guys standin' still?" Ruby uttered. "The door's locked." Lunch replied, her tone sounded like she was disappointed but she still wore that grin on her face...

Pine stepped forward and squeezed himself past Lunch. "I got this!" He declared. Next thing I knew it Pine whipped out a whole axe and started bashing the door, luckily it was wooden so it broke instantly.
"Damn Pine, have you ever considered being a professional thief?" Amber commented, receiving a nudge from Ruby. "Maybe."

The group walks in, revealing dark grey walls and light grey floors. There was a door, a rusty one at that. Followed by 2 other doors going left and right. "So, which way are we goin?" Lunch said, crossing her arms.

"I say we go left" Ruby announced. "No right is always right so we should take right." Pine breathed. "LEFT." "RIGHT." "LEFT!" "RIGHT!!!!!"

"GUYS CHILL." Amber exclaimed, pushing Pine and Ruby away from each other. "Let's take left." "WAIT WHY?" Pine cried, grabbing Amber's sleeve and pulling it right. "Because it's almost Ruby's birthday." Amber noted, grinning. Pine sighed in defeat and followed Amber.

They headed left, Pine, once again bashing the door open. There was a large glass tube looking thing that raised all the way to the top of the roof. There was some strange green glowing liquid at the bottom. A part of the tube was broken. Behind it was another door. Above it was a set of spiral stairs, leading to what Amber can't see. Amber sighed, once again asking. "Which way?" "I say we go in the door then go up the stairs." Dinner replied, finally saying something. Amber shrugged but agreed. Once again, Pine bashed open the door, once again the door broke the same way the other doors did. From middle, to right, to bottom. "SerIOUSLy?" Pine sighed. It was a bathroom. Just toilets.
"Up the stairs we go then." Ruby chuckled.

They walked up the stairs, it was like the stairs were never ending. Each step they took, more flights of stairs appeared. "Is this ever going to end?" Pine complained, panting. Suddenly the stairs started disappearing. "HEY! What is happening?" Ruby shouted. Holding onto a rail that disappeared seconds after she touched it.

Out of nowhere Amber found herself back in the main entrance. The same 3 doors that she knew nothing about. She looked around trying to find her friends but she saw no one. For a second she wondered where everyone was, but rubbed it off. The longer I think the slower I get to 'em' I guess. She strolled around, going to the rusty door in front of her this time. She tried to open the door. Is this some kind of life or death parkour course??? There was bright lime liquid on the ground flowing. The used-to be parkour blocks were rusted, clear claw marks were eternally stuck there. She had a sudden urge to try it. No. No. If she tried it she would legit be dead. Amber blinked and slammed the door closed, hearing a crash inside in the process. Slowly, Amber opened the door again. Oops... she broke one of the blocks.
