Cleo went to another part of the section Mabel pointed out and picked up more books then she proceeded to sit on an arm chair close to Mabel and picked up her first book,it looked like a diary of one of the founders. She looked at the front cover, Steven Walteriz . Then she opened the book and read the first entry

5th June, 1994.
Dear diary,

Today I have successfully left my small town to a new place, it looks rather undeveloped,dirty,remote and full of sick people. Hmm mostly the men are sick
The women are healthy as horses! Oh I wish I had some kind of adventure or something interesting and worthwhile,still haven't found someone to have pounds of flesh with tho. Women here are so... Well not cooperative. On a bright side it seems they don't force religion on anyone here so far.

"Wow, the founder sounded kind of weird and a rebel. Hmm it seems this was when he arrived here. Let me see a few months after?" Cleo said to herself as she flipped the pages until something caught her eye and she stopped.

15th November, 2002.

Dear diary,
Making this place a city was the best thing ever, now the people look up to me and I've gotten more pounds of flesh than I could ever want! The women are really good tho. At last I have a wife, Millie, Millie is my sunshine on a rainy day. She's my queen whose stolen my heart with her elegance. Since she came into my life, I've never been happier.
Well not really I am happy about the success of my new founded city and my lovely wife and children but I've been keeping a secret from her, They said I have to that she wouldn't understand what I'm doing is for the good of everyone. It's killing me it is! I have a feeling it'll kill me too......

Cleo flipped the page to see the next entry but she couldn't because the other pages were torn off.

"You guys, you have to see this" Cleo said as she went to go show her friends the entry,"I found something as well" Charles said as he made his way to a central table in the archives. "Same here" Liam,Kelly and Josh echoed as they also made their way to the centre table. They looked at each other in silence expecting the other to go first but nothing.

"okay let's do this since Cleo said she found something first, let's listen to her then I go" Charles said as he looked at his friends expecting complains but he since he heard none,he gestured for Cleo to go on.

"Okay I read about this Steven guy,tho I didn't finish the book I saw that in the beginning of his entry, he talked about how this city was once a remote place and how he was happy but then I saw another entry about him being happy about the success of the city so far and his marriage but he mentioned a secret that was killing him to hide. I would have read more but the pages were torn off" Cleo said as she showed them the entries and torn pages.

" Well I found out that this Steve guy was actually involved in dark practices, maybe that was the secret.

He talked about it being an obligation he has to keep secret because 'they' told him to" Kelly said as she handed her friends an old letter she found among the books she had picked.

"Well, I found out that his dark practices involved sacrificing human beings and he raped women as well" Joshua said as he set the letter he found on the table.

" I um.. found that he... He... Well tortured his Victims to death and apparently had to um.. eat their flesh raw after killing them." Liam said as he blinked his eyes repeatedly, he was extremely disgusted by what he saw. This Steve guy must have been a sick man. "I.. I found this" Charles said as he showed his friends the letter.
