“Kri... Kuri!” I knelt down beside him, I couldn't hear his broken voice over the agonizing screams of Aletta writhing behind me, I bent over slightly, lowering my ears to his mouth as he whispered to me. “We should get him to safety.” I shouted to Zoko. I began removing my shoes, before unthreading the laces. “W-what are you doing?!” Zoko shouted over the torturing cries of the girl, echoing around the huge pole lodged down her throat. “I need to get Kuri somewhere safe, and we need to take Aletta too – She knows something vital to us getting out of here.”. I threw the black shoes laces to Zoko as well as 6 linked chains I found next to us. “Tied her hands, with the chain in the middle like a leash.”, “Okay...”. It was easy to pick up Kuri's body, he was extremely light as I threw him over my shoulder, the top half of his body dangling behind me.
Taking control, I slammed my sock covered foot down onto the sobbing girls chest as she squealed out in pain. I took hold of the pole before slowly pulling it up, Aletta began to scream uncontrollably again. “Please! Stop!” Shouted Kayne, I didn't have time for this though.
Once the bloodied pole was out, as well as flesh and broken bone - I had Zoko pull the whimpering girl to her feet. She held the chain leash connected to the girls bound hands, denying her the ability to hold any objects, pulling her along as we left the dark flooded room. “So where are we going?” Asked Kayne, trying his hardest to keep well away from the girl being dragged along, broken cries escaped her leaking mouth as she trudged slowly. She must have been becoming light headed from the blood loss. “We need to find a way to get to the courtyard, Kri said to check there for Lynne.”.
It took us a while to navigate down to the 1st floor, with how slow Aletta was but we made it. He whispered to me, telling me of a giant hole in the floor that we could use to get to ground level since the staircase wasn't an option.
“Okay, now drop him down slowly!”, Zoko passed down Kuri's body to me, this time I piggy backed him, he had just enough strength to wrap his arms around my neck as I held his legs. We'd need him if we wanted to escape as a group. “Okay. Now you guys come down.” first came Aletta, she was dropped down carelessly by Zoko - landing on her feet she couldn't grip the floor as she fell forward, face planting the floor with a squeal. Next jumped down Zoko, and then Kayne until the whole group was here.
The doors to the courtyard were shut and worse, an X inscribed the cracked doors. “What do we do now?” Whined Kayne. “There's only one thing to do.”, my attention turned to Aletta. “You've caused us enough trouble. You go first.”. She just glared at me blindly, her dark green eyes have lost most of their light. “Go on - open the doors, we'll take cover behind this wall.”. She didn't need much persuading in her current state, Zoko dropped her chains as she paced towards the double doors. We took cover behind a cross corridor, a safe enough distance from a trap door. “Is she going to be okay?” Kayne seemed worried for her well being, I didn't mind though, she could die for all I care. It seemed as if 10 minutes passed before a refreshing breeze blasted throughout the hallways. Although, everything seemed fine. I peered round the corner to see Aletta stood in a daze at the double doors, there was no trap. Unlike the one that took Roxxy... “Alright it's safe, let's go.” we moved towards the doorway to the courtyard outside, with zoko picking up Aletta's leash as we passed.
“Haha...Hahaha...HAHAHA.” Aletta suddenly switched personas, she began giggling before laughing manically at what presented before us. Zoko wasted no time with uppercutting the girl with raw power, instantly forcing her into the air before dropping to the ground with a thud until her body laid unconscious.
“Rayne...” I was met with no response, although I guess that was to be expected. There was a huge tree that stood before us, it didn't have a very many branches but a few. The lowest branch had a rope tied to it, which was also caught around the neck of a girl with long white hair. Her body, with hands loosely by her side - slowly rocked in the breeze, her shoes sat at the bottom of the trees trunk. She didn't seem to have any other injuries although her uniform seemed stained. “She said... She said that it would make things better...” Kuri whispered into my ear. “You did this to her?!” I shouted back at him. “I.. Don't... know.” his voice was weak and barely producing any sounds as they escaped between small gasps. “Should we cut her down?” Kayne whimpered more. “She's too high up... I can't reach the rope and even if I could, I don't have anything to cut it with?”. I may of sounded a bit too harsh towards the boy seeing him lower his head down in defeat. “There's nothing we can do for her...” At least that's what I thought. I heard a low, breathless voice from above. “Li...br..ary...”, it came from Rayne. “Rayne! I... I thought you were dead...”, although I couldn't hear her voice anymore, her lips created soundless words. Judging from what I heard, she's saying “library” repeatedly. “The library...” I asked, “The room... that the Juggernaut... guards...” came from Kuri, resting on my back.
“The...” that's when a flashback filled my mind, from when I saw the huge troll-thing rip the poor girls jaw apart. It almsot caused me to vomit once more. “Let's go then.” Zoko cheered gloomily. “We need to find Lynne too, to make sure she's alright.”, the others agreed. We then left the courtyard, deciding to leave the psychopathic girl behind, she was unconscious anyways.
Metal chains sounded in the distance as we passed through into the Library. “It stinks in here!” cried Kayne. “Shut up, we don't want that Juggernaut.. thing hearing us, we're screwed if he corners us.”. “What are we looking for? Every book here has been destroyed..” claimed Zoko. There seemed to be a number of books unharmed though, so we began reading them first. I sat Kuri against a standing bookshelf while I checked some of the legible books out.
“Hey look, I found something...” Zoko blew the dust off of a few pieces of paper stapled together. “What is it?” I asked as me and Kayne sat beside her. “The title reads 'The Way Out'. It's about a group of others who got trapped here.”

I've been trapped in this place for atleast a week now... my mouth is dry. I need water so desperately... My tongue has swollen up like a sponge too, it hurts so much and I don't have the heart to eat my friend, although – something tells me that when my backs turned, he won't even think twice about killing me and satisfying his cannibalistic needs.
I've rounded up a few notes for anybody who finds this, for anyone who becomes trapped in this gloomy place. I'll start off with the chemical... it's a watered down toxin used for biological warfare in protecting farm crops..
I have to stop here for the day... I've come to a conclusion, I'm going to have to eat my friend. It's a heavy decision, but I can't stand this hunger anymore... If I'm going to research more, I'll need energy, I'll see you tomorrow.

I don't know if you may have found out yet, but there's a huge control room on the top floor which controls the vents of this place, as far as I know, the power doesn't work. Although, you may be able to turn off the vents, and the chemical – which has another property, it contains many vitamins and something else which I haven't found out yet, it's primary use is to feed the brain of the being that breathes in the gas, slowly eating away at the inside and the mind although at the same time, keeping the being alive. As far as I know, this means that the only way to come close to suicide is by hanging, cutting off the air and gas to the brain... although that doesn't do the trick either...
21st February
I found a book in the library, it contained valuable information about the huge troll that wanders around the school. They call him 'The Dream Weaver', he is huge, the full width and height of the average corridor and with his super human strength, he makes an almost unbeatable opponent. In my current state, I don't have the strength to beat him and all of my friends are gone... Bethany got hit by a trap door... Gavin and Ben got obliterated whilst trying to take on The Dream Weaver, and up until yesterday, Peter was also with me, they're all pretty much alive though, I can hear their cries. I'm writing this to you as the chains stand outside the Library's door... I don't have long now.
To destroy this place, you must kill the Dream Weaver, dismember each of his limbs and place them atleast 200 meters away from eachother, this is the only way. Although... the only way to beat him is to c”
“The rest of the page becomes unreadable...” claimed Zoko. “Well.. How are we supposed to kill the Dream Weaver? There's 2 of us, a young boy, and Kuri's in a pretty bad state... By now, the stomping came pretty loud, he was just outside of the room. “Quickly, get behind the shelves!” I grabbed Kuri, dragging him towards the back of the Library where it'd be hard for the Dream Weaver to follow
