This is Claire writing again. I would write what happened to me, but Meredith covered all that.
Other than going into detail how nasty those rooms were.
I'm talking disgusting.
I am surprised they did not do worse to me or just killed me.
I mean why keep us here if you aren't going to do anything?
Is there a disease going around?
Are they just trying to slowly kill children?
What is going on?

I can't stay on these thoughts now,
I'm just so happy to be back with Meredith. I do not need these thoughts to worry me now.

We have been looking at Meredith's maps of the old buildings trying to compare them to see if maybe one matches our building. We are down to five maps, but it is so dark in here it is hard to see.
Thank goodness her dad gave her those maps he found. When we would go over to each other's houses. She and I would use those maps and pretend that was our house or if we were playing spies that would be our hideout.

All I want right now is freedom from this place and the last thing I want is for this to be our house.

Meredith used to say the maps were fake, but now we are hoping they are real.

I am just so excited we might actually get out of here and go back to our family!
This journal might become popular just like Anne Frank's, but of course not as famous.
Then when we get back I bet Meredith and I could have more sleepovers and hang out more than usual.
When I see my family's faces I do not know if I could hold back tears or not. I would play with my little brother as much as he wants me to.

I miss them so much and it hurts on the inside, but now that I have a ray of hope I am happy.

The only thing is is that we do not know how long this will take.
We have very little food, we have plenty of water, though we have to get that from the sink.
I don't think there is anything wrong with it, if there was then we would be extremely sick or already dead.

Yesterday after I got back, we had a run in with a snake. I am not sure how being that we are on one of the top floors, but it probably just crawled through the walls or something.
Luckily, Meredith is used to killing snakes and spiders.
I love my best friend.

We have been through the most craziest things.
Being taken away and put in a dungeon like room in the dark, but somehow ending up together is on the top of the list.
Having to deal with some crazy teachers. We both laugh when we remember that.
Crazy sleepovers

Meredith is the best
