I walk down the hallway. The eeriness starting to get to me. I'm now wondering if I should have stayed by Damon's side.  It's weird how everyone is gone. I see up ahead that the hallway turns and I get my gun out. As I get closer I start to notice a weird glow coming from the next hallway. As I turn I find the source of the glow, jars of something are on the right wall. When I walk closer I realize what's in the jars are heads. When I walk closer one of them opens its eyes and snaps its teeth at me. I jump and take a closer look at the heads. Now I really wish I would have stayed with Damon and I wish I would have went past these without looking. They are the heads of the people my group has lost like someone is keeping them as a trophy. I spot Brandon and feel a lump form in my throat. I start crying. How could someone do this? When I spot my brother's head, I lose it. I place my hand on the glass as his head snaps at me and I start crying so hard. My knees end up on the floor and I'm trying to get my breath but all I'm getting is nothing because I can't breathe. I put my head in my hands. I start dry heaving. I can't do this, I need to breathe. I can't believe my friends and brother's heads are in jars. Is this part of the plan to make me weak? Well I'm not going to let this make me weak. I take my head out of my hands and take deep breaths. I wipe away my tears and slowly get to my feet. I don't even look at the heads as I walk by. As I walk farther down the hall I start to hear voices coming from one of the doors on the right. I walk really slow so my shoes don't make any noise and stop beside the door. I make sure my gun is ready and rush into the room. There's no one in here. A hand clasps my mouth and I try to scream but its so muffled no one could be able to hear them. With her hand still clasped to my mouth Mrs. Hope comes into view and smirks. Before I know it she stabs me in the stomach with a knife and pushes it in. Tears form in my eyes from the pain and I start whimpering. She leans forward and whispers in my ear.

"There's no way you can defeat me."
