 On the 1st of October, 2023, class 705 was going on a field trip, camping. They were leaving the school at 10:00 in the morning. The class went into a school bus to go. They all went to a seat to go on the long ride. "Is everyone ready to go on this week-long camping trip?" Madelle Roine asked. "Yes!" The class screamed excitedly. "I'm so excited to go!" Anhad told Elina. "Me too!" she responded. "Hello everyone," said the bus driver through the speaker. "My name is Beckett and I'll be taking you on your field trip!" The class cheered. He had messy brown hair and blue eyes, but he looked to be pretty young. The bus started moving, they were finally going on the field trip!

After what seemed like an eternity, the bus pulled up at a strange house that seemed to be abandoned. Everyone was confused. "How strange," Alia remarked. "Yeah, where are we?" Beatrice added. The class exited the bus and walked towards the strange house. "This house looks kind of creepy," Xiai told Celestia. Celestia nodded her head in agreement. The house looked haunted; it was three stories tall, built out of all black bricks, and there were hand gravestones in the yard. The class entered the house, Mr. Couzens leading the way.

Once everyone got in, they all carefully explored the house. Suddenly, the front door slammed shut and they all heard a creepy laugh. Then the lights started flickering and all they heard was the click of a lock. Levi walked over to the door, tugging on the handle. "We're locked in! Oh crapo," he shouted. The door had four combination locks on it to keep everyone inside. Everyone started panicking. "What will we do now?" Ketchup asked with a scared voice. "Okay everyone, remain calm, we'll find another exit," Madelle Roine reassured, but she was worried too. Everyone split up to find another way out.

No matter how long everyone searched for, nobody could find a way out. "We're gonna be trapped here forever!" Cooper cried. "It's very strange that the windows on the first floor are boarded up, but not on the second and third floors," Celestia pointed out. "It's true!" Avery added. "It's almost like someone doesn't want us to leave." Everyone stood in silence. How would they get out of here? "Maybe there will be clues around the house to find out the codes for the locks?" Autumn said. Kiana nodded. "That could work," she said.

They all split up again. Frank and Julian started searching the third floor. The third floor was much smaller than the other floors. It had only one room; there were spinny chairs and tables around the room. "Why does this room look like the Family Studies classroom?" Frank asked. "I don't know," responded Julian. Frank and Julian ran over to the spinny chairs and started spinning and zooming all around the third floor. Back on the second floor, Arianna and Mila were searching around and found a hallway with many doors. "I wonder why there are so many rooms on this floor," Mila said. "Let's go and see what's inside the rooms," Arianna decided.

Back on the first floor, Patrick and Robert were looking in the kitchen that they had found. Patrick opened a cupboard and to his delight, it was filled with coffee beans. "SO. MANY. BEANZZ! I wonder if there's a coffee maker around here." Robert walked over to the other side of the huge kitchen. "I found one!" he said. "It's covered in cobwebs though." Patrick ran over. "Who cares! I want coffee!"

In the basement, Madelle Roine and Mr. Couzens were searching through all the boxes to see if there was anything that would help. Tomer came and joined them. "Have you found anything yet?" he asked. Mr. Couzens shook his head. "Nothing but old letters and photos." Madelle Roine kept looking through the boxes. "Maybe there might be something hidden in here with all the paper." Suddenly they heard someone shouting. "Everyone, come to the second floor! We found bedrooms!" It was Arianna and Mila shouting from the second floor.

Five minutes later, on the second floor: "I think everyone's here," Madelle Roine said. "Wait!" cried Enoch. "Where's Julian and Frank?" They all started to worry, where were Julian and Frank? "I think they went to the third floor," Michael said. Mr. Couzens and Madelle Roine ran to the third floor to find Julian and Frank. "What are you two doing?" Mr. Couzens asked when he and Madelle Roine saw the two boys on the spinny chairs zooming around the room. "You two should be downstairs," he reprimanded. They both jumped out of their chairs when they saw their teachers.

Once Julian and Frank had joined the group, Arianna and Mila showed everyone the bedrooms they had found. "The strange thing about the bedrooms is there's exactly thirty beds, one for each of us," Mila said. Kiana shrugged. "I mean, thirty is a multiple of ten, so it kinda makes sense." (editor's note) Erhm, actually, 2x+35+7=3x+123 -Patrick

Everyone picked a room to sleep in, friends sticking together. It was getting dark, so after everyone ate one of the snacks they had packed for themselves, they all went to sleep.

Beatrice, Entry 01
Today, we arrived at this strange house, we're all locked in and can't get out. Me and Alia will stick together, you never know what can be in this abandoned house, maybe I'll see a bokoblin. I don't even know where this house is located, wherever it is, I hope it's somewhere near Kakariko village. I start exploring the house, in the basement I yank open a cupboard. It's bare. I ran up a flight of stairs to find a door. It's locked with four sets of silver & black locks we use for our lockers in school. This must be the front door. I turn the lock over, I can probably pick it, but not before whoever put them there hears me and removes me and replaces the locks. Kiana materializes beside me. "What are you up to?" She asks, examining the door. "Trying to figure out a way out of here." I replied. Kiana nods sagely. "I don't think there's a way out." Kiana says. "But if we don't find one, we'll all die soon." This isn't looking good. I only have enough TOTK questions for Alia to last the first hour. I hear someone yell from somewhere upstairs, I turn around to find Kiana is no longer standing beside me. I ran towards the source of the yell, Alia beside me.
