Erins pov

We were walking to the radio station, Marks hand in mine. On the way we double checked the cable car, to see if we could get it to go down the mountain. Of course it didnt work, as we had suspected. I looked up at Mark. He smiled sympathetically back down at me. Before we left, someone had left an axe on the floor. Mark picked it up. We trudged down a slope and was forced to go down a little empty space, at the top of a mountain. It was overlooking the emptyness below us. As we turned back around so that we could head back on track, a deer came up towards us. A couple more deer came to sniff us. Soon we were surrounded.
'Mark, mark, what do we do!? Im gonna die!' I cried.
'It'll be ok. We be fine. They are just here to sniff us and then they'll leave us be.' He tried to reassure me. I shook my head in shock. He edged slightly towards them. They took a step back. He raised his axe a little, trying to scare them. One came a little closer towards him. He raised his axe, ready to hit.
'No!' I screamed! He stopped just before he hit it. The deer backed away a little. I could tell he hadn't wanted to have hit it but he had no choice. I gave him a sympathetic smile to tell him i-know. He nodded. We edged around the deer, not dieing. We walked through the forest, sticking to a path.
Eventually we found it. I sighed with relief. A bright light shone.
'Ah, my goodness! That's flipping bright! My eyes!' I moaned.
'Probably motion censor light.' He replied. I nodded. I ran up the three wooden staircases leading up to it. I started to climb a metal ladder. After a few steps was a platform. I waited for mark. I climbed up the next set of ladders. Eventually i got to the top of one and there was a trapdoor. I pushed it open amd climbed onto the platform. I waited for mark before i did anything. He closed and locked it behind us. I sighed. First thing i did was check inside a cabinet. A missing poster of hannah was hanging on the door.
'Im sorry your still missing hannah.' I apologised. I walked over to the radio but no power. I opened a door and went outside. There was a power box.
'Thank goodness!' I flicked the switch and walked back inside. There was a printer and i pressed the on button. A missing poster of beth printed out.
'Im sorry your missing, too, beth.' I looked at mark. I suddenly remembered the radio. I started to walk over to it when the motion light flicked on.
'Probably a deer.' Mark said as a banging started to break its way into the little room. The trap door was vibrating.
'No, no, im gonna die, mark! Im gonna die! Hes coming for me!' I started to panick as the noise died down and went. Quickly i rushed over to the radio, paranoid. I fiddled with the control, trying to get it to work.
'Hello! Hello!' I called into the speaker.
'Hi, hello. Is someone trying to contact us. Please speak loud and clearly. '
'Yes, yes, thank goodness! Im erin. We are on black woods mountain and theres a maniac and one of our friends have already died, please help..please help us!' I cried into the microphone.
'We picked you up. Help will be coming. We have to wait until the storm has finished. Stay there.' It replied.
'When? How long? Please help us quickly!' I quickly rushed back.
'Maybe dawn at the earliest. Wait there until dawn. Help is co..m..m..' and it cut off. I sighed, relieved.
'People are coming. We are going to be fine.' Mark told me. I nodded, believing him. We heard a crack and the tower suddenly started to tip.
'Ahhh! Mark!' I screamed as i was thrown at the window. The tower tipped sideways, heading towards the mines below. Mark grabbed onto something as i leaned on the window. The printer fell towards me and i had a split second to react. I rolled sideways as it crashed through the window. Seconds later, i fell through the window. I grabbed onto the rail, dangling obove a terrifying drop.
'Mark! Save me!' I shouted!
'Im trying. Let me think a moment. Its tipping this side.' he cried as he tried to come nearer to me, climbing along the window ledge.
'Dont think you idiot, just save me!' I cried back. He huffed and nodded. He edged closer to me. I tried to grab his outstretched hand. The tower started to tip and he jumped to safety as i was plumeted towards the ground. My leg got tied to a wire and i was attached to the tower. I groaned to myself as i dangled upside down from the tower. I swung myself so that i could try and grab a handy ladder near to me. I swung twice and then pulled myself onto it. The tower suddenly collapsed, crashing into the ground below. I monkey-barred along the broken ladder and dropped onto the ground. I rubbed my knees as i stood up and limped along the passage, hoping for daylight.
'There goes $600, and i looked good in that top!' I moaned. Down there was lots of dirt and darkness. I wondered through endless tunnels and corridors. Eventually i got to an elevator. I rushed over to it and pulled the lever. It slowly pulled me up.
'At last, something actually works.' I said to myself. When i got to the top, there was a long passage way. I began to walk down it. A scream hissed behind me. I turned around quickly and then started to run. I slowed at the end of the passage. A flame thrower guy walked nearer to me. He looked down a passage and i ran. He caught my hand and passed me a sparkler thing. I was then pushed down a slope and tumbled over backwards. I groaned as i twisted my ankle. I lit it and first thing i saw was a skull. I screamed in horror and stepped backwards. I dodged around it and headed into the cave. On the way i saw a wooden cross. I lifted it up and it had beths name ingraved into it. I dropped it in shock. I carried on down and found hannahs necklace and beths watch. I was getting near to an end of a passage when i noticed a heap. I uncontrollably walked towards it. To my horror it was beths coat and her head perfectly balanced on top. I screamed and ran out of the mines.

Joes pov

I was shocked and horrified by Erins findings. I would hate to have been Erin in this part of the story. I hated every second playing it and controlling my friends. I hadn't meant her to be freaked out by what she saw. I didnt want her to find it. I would be traumatised if i were her. At least now its only 7 hours until dawn.
