I walked through the entire level 1 and little by little I saw new things, I reached a white corridor in which, on the walls and on the floor, I saw from time to time one or two paintings and drawings, they were drawings without any meaning for what I couldn't understand them much, they were like doodles, I walked until I started to hear voices in the distance, I went to where that was heard and I saw three boys, they seemed to be 16 or 17, when I saw them I thought that at last I could find someone to help me, I came out of hiding and called them and when they saw me I saw how they got a little scare, but when they saw me they were surprised since they had not seen any survivors in the Backrooms and one of the guys tells me

-Hey boy, who are you? And how did you get here? - said the confused boy

-Ehhh .. well ..- I happened to tell them everything that happened before I got there and when I finished one of the guys approached me

-Hey, calm down child, don't be afraid, you can stay with me and my friends, so you'll have people accompanying you and you'll be able to leave here with us, besides it's dangerous for you to go alone through these places- the boy told me while one of his friends were approaching

-It's true, these places are very dangerous and there are creatures that are scary- said another of the boys approaching me while the other boy who was speaking answered

-¿What's your name?- asked the boy who was in front of me

-My name, is Aaron- I replied

-Well Aaron, my name is Esteban and they are my friends, Robert and Mark- he said pointing to the 2 guys behind him, while they greeted me and introduced themselves

-And tell me, Aaron, ¿do you know what kind of place this is?- robert asked

-Uh, emmm... we are in the Backrooms, in level 1 of them more specifically- I told them while they seemed to have more doubts

-The Backrooms?- Mark asked me confused

-Yes- I started to give them a short summary of what the Backrooms were and they seemed to be surprised and somewhat scared with my words

-¿¡So we're in a place where it will be almost impossible for us to escape?!- said Robert who looked quite nervous and could be seen trembling a little

-Robert, calm down, don't panic, there must be a way out of here, it's not the end- mark said to robert as he went towards him to calm him down

-Aaron, ¿do you know more about this place than we do? So I want to know if there is any way we could get out of here- esteban told me looking at me

-Well... if it exists, there are levels which have an exit from the Backrooms to reality, although it is difficult to get there- I told them while I saw robert still trembling

-Robert, relax, don't be afraid, ¿didn't you hear what the boy said? There is a way out of this place and even if it is difficult to get there, we must not give up, we have to give our effort and fight to escape- mark said to robert

-It's true, there is still hope of being able to get out of this place, don't give up Robert, upstairs- Esteban said as he went to Robert and helped him up and when he heard the words of his friends, he took Esteban's hand and got up

-You're right, there is still a way to get out of here, besides that we have a new partner and he can help us get out of here- robert said looking at me

-Okay, now it's time to get out of here- he said looking at all of us

-Yes- we all answered as we began to walk through the corridors of level 1

In some moments we managed to find boxes of supplies on the way, we found only 2, one did not have very useful things for our ''luck'', but at least it was better than nothing, while we walked we felt that someone was close, until in a moment the lights went out and I saw that Robert was motionless and looked paralyzed and sweating something in one direction of a corridor

-¿Robert?? ¿What's up??- mark said confused until he looked into the corridor and saw what Robert saw and opened his eyes shocked and nervous

When I looked confused to see, I was shocked to see 2 humanoid monsters that had long hair and were on 4 legs as if they were dogs, they were hounds, I told myself in my shocked and nervous thoughts while those monsters saw us and began to run qui...

When I looked confused to see, I was shocked to see 2 humanoid monsters that had long hair and were on 4 legs as if they were dogs, they were hounds, I told myself in my shocked and nervous thoughts while those monsters saw us and began to run quickly towards us to attack us, we all went on alert and started running as fast as we could but we saw that Robert was paralyzed and didn't move

-¡¡Robert!! ¡¡run!!- mark yelled at robert

But it was in vain since Robert did not react out of fear and runs towards him to make him react, which was a serious mistake for the hounds and being in front of him, but Mark kicked the hound and he fell and when he got up he aggressively bit his leg knocking him to the ground

-¡¡No!!- esteban shouted seeing that and as the hounds aggressively bit their friends

-¡¡Esteban!! ¡¡go away!! ¡¡save yourself and Aaron!! ¡¡they must not die here!! ¡¡Go away!!- Mark yelled loudly at Esteban while he was bitten by the hound and his leg bled too much

-I'm sorry, friends...- esteban said sadly and ran out with me while in the distance the screams of his friends could be heard

Esteban and I ran as fast as possible to escape, until we managed to escape and get quite far from where there was danger, but when Esteban stopped running he sat on the floor sad and began to cry for the death of his friends, he was quite bad and I put my hand on his shoulder and comforted him while he was sad and crying for his friends, Esteban cried for 5 minutes

-Esteban, I know that the death of your friends was too hard, I understand you, this was too surprising and out of nowhere, but I'm sure they would want you to survive and leave this place, I will not leave you alone, I will be with you and I'll help- I said putting my hand on his shoulder and he looked up with red eyes from crying

-I... miss them... they didn't deserve that cruel fate... - Esteban said shedding tears

-I know, what happened was horrible and I know it will be difficult to overcome this, but you must be strong for them, I'm sure they would want us to get out of here, don't give up, life is sometimes too hard, but don't let yourself fall, be strong for them and move forward to escape from here and return to your home- I said as I raised my hand towards him to help him get up

-... Thank you ..- Esteban said taking my hand and getting up and drying his tears

-You're welcome- I told him as we walked back

Esteban still looked sad, I understand perfectly, what he just saw was too cruel and hard for him, at one point he and I reached a door which we crossed and...
