Dear Diary

I know it seemed to be a very constant thing now, but everything hurt so much. I had felt a whole new range of terror since the Slayer had beaten me with Intruder's arm. Not only did I think he had broken my nose, but it also showed me just how serious this was. Of course, it had always seemed that way, and I knew him to be a monster, I did not suspect him to be quite this deranged. I don't think anybody could have.

Bear's condition had only been getting worse. Our captor had not been feeding us, and had only been giving us small amounts of water in bowls. Bear and I were both starving. We were almost ready to eat anything.

Several hours after I woke up, it became apparent to Bear and I that Intruder's torture had started again. I didn't know how much time she had left until she was inevitably killed, but I wanted to do whatever I could for her. I wanted her to stop dating Prey, but I never wanted it to get to this level. Not only that, she and him had broken up as well!

At some point, the captor came back to our room in the bunker. He just stood there in front of Bear and I. He didn't even say anything. He stood there, holding his knife. He was taunting us, and it was working.

Eventually he walked away.

Bear and I sat in silence for some time. Time seemed to pass ever so slowly. Unfortunately, it wasn't silent. Intruder's screams captured every moment.

Eventually, Bear broke the silence between us.

"Do you still have your phone?" she whispered. I felt my pocket as best I could without any hands, surprised to see that it was still there.

"Yeah" I replied, "What do you want it for?" I asked.

She lifted her arm up as far as she could, pointing at the ceiling.

"I just noticed that there is a security camera right above us, angled towards the ceiling. I was thinking that maybe Mouse could do whatever he does and change that." Hope flooded through me. If anybody would be able to do something with that, it was Mouse. The only problem that stood between us was trying to type of the message. The phone wasn't in my pocket that tight, but I did not have any free hands.

When I asked Bear what we were going to go, she said "Acrobatics."

For the next several minutes, I carefully pivoted on my restrains, getting my pockets as close to Bear as I could. It took a while, but she was finally able to reach my phone. She gave a small shout of 'Eureka" when she had it.

"I can't see it, so you're going to need to tell me what to press."

We very slowly navigated across my phone, unlocking it, opening the text conversations, finding Mouse and telling him to move the camera in the bunker.

His initial response was almost immediate.

"Sure thing, I've been trying to contact you guys for ages, where have you been?."

Several moments later, we heard the buzzing of the camera moving.

"Oh my gosh" he sent back.

"Oh my gosh"

"Oh my gosh"

"Oh my gosh"

"Oh my gosh." He seemed rather shocked. I did not blame him.

"The authorities are on their way" he sent back very shortly after that. He had not messed around.

"I am so sorry" he sent.

We hid the phone underneath Bear.

A short while after this, Intruder's screams had stopped. It appeared that her torture was over for the day.

Several hours later, sound filled the entire bunker. Sounds of Sirens, sounds of banging, sounds of people running everywhere. All of this was taking place outside. It seemed that the authorities had decided they were going to start trying to do something thanks to Mouse's call.

The captor stormed into our room, bearing his knife. His white clothes were getting even more covered with blood.

"What did you do?" he practically shouted at us.

"What could we do?" I answered. "We've been tied up, too weak from hunger and thirst to do anything." I didn't know if he got the hint that we were starting to get weak. Even if he did, I doubted that he would take it as a sign to get us some supplies.

We walked up the the doors and shouted

"Who goes there?"

Swiftly, a person replied over the loudspeaker.

"Hello, I'm the Constable in charge of the situation here, could we speak to the person in charge inside this bunker?"

Slayer seemed to spend a few minutes deciding whether he should respond or not. He chose to, probably because they already knew he was in there, and had already responded.

"I'm in charge" he said, very proudly. It almost sounded like he was boasting.

The officer in charge started to address him.

"Excellent, now that we are talking, I'd like to discuss terms of..." He was cut off very quickly by Slayer.

"NO!" he shouted. "I will not leave under any terms. I have three girls in here with me. You might know what is going on in here, you might not. It doesn't matter. I will continue to do to them what I have already done to them, until they are all dead."

He paused, using a moment to catch his breathe and think his next words.

Definitely, he slammed is chest and shouted "You cannot stop me! I've checked, this bunker will withstand anything and everything you can put up against it! Everyone on here will die."My hopes which had just been raised so high dropped so low, mainly because I knew he was right.

"Very well" replied the officer. "We will do everything in our power to get them out."

Slayer had one last message.

"Go to hell!" he shouted, before angrily stomping back into the other room. Intruder's screams soon followed.
