After falling for a while, Jon, Liz, Lyman, Garfield, and Odie were on Level 14, something was off with Lyman, Garfield, and Odie, they seemed a bit too relaxed. Jon realised immediately that something must be off, Liz checked her tablet and tried to make sense to what was the reason for Lyman and their pets acting like this.

Jon shoved some Almond Water down the three's throats, Lyman, Garfield, and Odie, the three snapped out of the trance, and Liz soon realised that this was from the blue fog, "Are you guys okay?" the two asked the three.

"Going completely fine." Garfield thought, he soon facepalmed this face because he couldn't speak. Odie barked in confirmation that he was indeed okay. "I am alright," Lyman told the two.

"I wonder why we are not affected by the fog, Jon?" Liz asked him, Jon thought for a while and came up with something plausible. "Maybe, Liz... just maybe we are blessed with the power of the couple."

Liz understood what her boyfriend meant by "the power of the couple" but didn't want to ask questions as she soon read that despite the way it was written, and the people who came here made it out to be, It was a hazardous place and should be exited from as quickly as possible.

"Where should we go?" Lyman asked the other four, "There is nothing but a blue fog in front of us, and there are also trees scattered along this area!" He observed with a look of slight terror in his eyes.

"I think we should go that way!" Jon responded with a bold demeanour as he pointed to the northwest of himself. Jon ran into the distance, Liz was about to call for Jon's name but Jon came back looking pale and scared.

"Nevermind!" Jon told the four "I found a dead body." He explained in defeat. Liz looked at him and decided to venture off to see what Jon was talking about she soon returned and agreed with Jon without any disagreement.

Garfield tugged on Jon's pants pointing in the opposite direction. "How about we go that way?" he thought, Jon realised what his cat was talking and the fest of the four agreed with Garfield's suggestion.

Garfield hopped on Odie's back once more and the two speeded off into the distance. "Garfield! Wait up! We are not quick as you!" Jon exclaimed as the two whizzed past like racing cars, however, Odie couldn't quite see because of the fog, and soon ran into a tree.

The three managed to catch up to the two as they saw Garfield as they saw Garfield's figure in the distance displacing the fog, Jon saw a dead body just behind the tree that Odie crashed into. 

"Are you alright Odie?!" Jon asked his god, Odie managed to get up, moaning in pain, Jon was relieved that his dog was alright despite the crash. "I see a dead body," he told Odie "I think we should go that way," he added pointing to his left.

The five were soon running north to a bunch of trees, Liz saw that the fog was slightly changing in colour, and the blue mist now had a purple hue, Lyman decided to look to his tablet and find a hidden log for Level 14, after a bit finicking he found a log of Level 14 that wasn't affected by the effect that would happen to people to entered the level.

"Look, guys!" Lyman exclaimed pointing at his tablet with the log on Level 14, it wasn't contradictory compared to the log that the three saw when they went into the logs for the level, the log explained how the blue fog entrances people into believing that this is a paradise and the people die in there.

Jon and Liz were shocked by the hidden log, they knew that it was red which meant that it was very dangerous, but they were not expecting the environment to be the killer and they were also terrified of the entity that lurked around that most certainly wanted to kill them.

"What do you suppose happened to the author of the log?" Jon asked just before seeing another dead body and he suddenly turned left to go east again. Liz, Lyman, Garfield, and Odie managed to catch up to Jon. "I think the author was brainwashed by the fog!" Liz concluded slightly running out of breath, Odie realised this made Liz sit on him along with Garfield.

The fog was becoming redder by the minute, or that's what the five thought was happening to the fog, they were horrified of the implication if they didn't get out in time. Lyman was starting to feel dizzy, Jon and Liz immediately realised that the fog was getting to him again, Jon poured another bottle of Almond Water and he snapped back to reality.

Garfield and Odie didn't feel dizzy or entranced as Lyman was, in fact, they didn't need to drink Almond Water, Jon and Liz were surprised by Garfield and Odie's willpower but Jon saw another dead and the five went north once again, this time it seemed as if the trees were grown in a way to block the five from escaping the level, which Jon and Liz expected considering that the level was banking on the belief that they would be in a trance.

Odie saw what he thought was a squirrel, running towards it barking and yipping like mad, he soon crashed into the tree booting Garfield and Liz off of him. "Liz, Kids, Odie, never chase a fictional squirrel in a dangerous place," Garfield thought in his head, despite Odie crashing into the tree he was still doing fine.

"Are you alright, Odie?" Jon asked I'm in a panic "You can hold on, I think we are almost out of this place." he added, just as Jon finished his sentence the fog became a bright red. "Congratulations, Jon you jinxed it!" Garfield told him, Jon was not amused with Garfield's comment on the dire situation.

A beast soon came out of the fog, and everyone was terrified, Odie once again became a horse and everyone went on Odie including each other, they were this terrified of the beast that they didn't even think of organising who went on Odie.

Odie barked and yipped several times, Garfield looked at Jon, Liz, and Lyman thinking in his mind with an enthusiastic smile "We are almost out of this place." he climbed on Jon to see the beast that was chasing them "What are you going to do, Garfield?!" Jon exclaimed in a sharp panic "Watch this!" Garfield looked at Jon winking at him.

Garfield decided to pull some silly expressions to make fun of the beast in the same way he did with the buff dog that somehow got into his home, the beast was enraged by Garfield's expressions, Odie leapt, and the four realised that they were finally free from this hellscape.

The beast roared in a rage for losing what it thought was its prey as the five escaped its grasp.
