Casper picked up the door. They all stared into the black nothingness before David jumped into the hole. He was followed by Hula, then the rest of us. Eve hit the ground swiftly and lifted herself up with one hand.

"Look it's Amber!" Matt shouted and pointed to Amber's body laying on the ground.

"Shh, keep quiet," Bailee responded right before Raven virtually tossed everyone out of her way.

She dropped to her knees and picked up Amber's head full of orange locks. "Amber wake up! Amber!"

David felt for her pulse, "She's unconscious. Look at those marks on her arm."

"Urg! I can't wait to just get this over with! So many people are going through too much for nothing!" Eve shouted

The door squeaked eerily open. "I'll carry Amber, Matt, Casper, David and Hula. You guys go with Eve ahead. Try to find him. Bailee come with me" Raven ordered. Bailee didn't complain this time. They all sprung into action.

Bolting out the door, Eve examined the twist and turns. The walls weren't dirt anymore, but a shining blue metal like framed the pipes of the wall. Eve's feet slipped with every jerking move. She was starting to breath heavily, her heart ached, and she was starting to want to turn right back around, yet she couldn't wait to just get it over with. 

"Casper!" Bailee shouted behind us. He looked back and told them to keep running. 

Not five minutes later they found an elevator labeled 'Head'. David picked Hula up. "This is it, isn't it?" 

"Eve and I will go up there together. David, when the others come, you guys will head for the head. Ha, get it. No, Um anyways it will give us an element of surprise," Matt suggested and David declined it hastily. 

"Like I'm letting a perv- like you go up there with her. Why don't you stay?" 

Matt smacked his lips, "I'm an actual trained hunter. Can we not argue about this right now?" 

"No! You can stay here. My families up there. I want to take part in the action too buddy," David shoved him. Matt shoved him back. 

"Guys! Please, David can you just please stay here? For me at least?" Eve begged

The brother nodded at his sister, but gave a deadly glare to Matt, "Try anything and I'll kill you. Don't you dare lay a single-"

"Okay Matt let's go," Eve shoved him into the elevator. Her heart stopped at she read the word 'Head' like it was taunting her own head at her. She was running right into the base. They know exactly what's coming. One press of a button and I can die. Never thought it would happen this simply. Right when I thought I could have a new place to chill. 

"Eve, are you okay?" Matt gripped her shoulder. She shrugged, but they both knew she was mortified. She stretched out a shaking finger and pressed the blue button. A robotic lady voice came over them: Going to floor one, up. The doors seemed to unlock and shift closer together. 

"Eve there's something," Matt looked into her dark eyes, "I've been wanting to tell you."

Eve looked up at him, "What is it." The doors were half way there. 

Before the doors closed, he uttered, "I'm-"

Clank! The doors stopped. Bailee's hands pried them opened. "HE'S THE SPY!" 

"Matt!" Eve starred at him in disbelief. 

"What! No I'm not! Eve you don't believe her do you?" He questioned frantically. 

Eve stepped back with a shocked expression. David yanked Eve out. Bailee dragged him out and held him against the wall by his throat. He started to gasp and choke for air. He kicked and pulled, but Bailee didn't budge. 

"Let me go! I'm no spy!"

"Isn't that right? Matt CRUDE isn't it? You stole the necklace didn't you. You were going to take her right up there weren't you! Why!" Bailee spat. 

Eve stood still. It couldn't be Matt. It just couldn't be. Amber looked around in a haze. Raven held her hand in comfort. David held the elevator open. Hula barked loudly at Matt. Then fell the unsettling silence. Matt's jerking movements stopped and went still. His head fell. Then he looked up with a wicked smirk and started to laugh cruelly. 

"Well done Bailee, but you've guessed wrong," He retorted back at her. 

Bailee loosened her grip, "What are you talking about? Amber saw you. I suspected it was you from the start."

He cocked his head, "Oh but you are so very wrong, I am only a decoy to a much larger plan" 

David scoffed, "Shut up! We know it's you. Let's tie him up already. I never trusted you around her anyway."

Matt turned his head towards to David,  "Don't worry about me taking Eve up there. Logan will." 

"Logan..." Bailee dropped Matt and turned quickly. 

Casper appeared behind her. He smiled at her. 

"Casper..." She whispered. He grabbed her waist and kissed her, but there was no love in it. Only bitterness did Bailee feel as he shoved her out of his face. 

"Don't call me that," He lowered his gaze. 

Like Eve's haunting past, it flew through the air like an eagle for its prey, or like a shark. This time with a red tip. No sooner did it hit Bailee's shoulder. David lunged at him, but it stung his chest. Hula barked and hid behind David's limp body. Amber screamed as one hit Raven's back. Then it got to Amber. Eve stumbled back and fell. 

"Matt! We need to-" Eve tried to talk to him, but she looked into his glass eyes and knew it was no use. She started to crawl back, her hands slipping. Casper walked over never meeting her gaze. He stretched out his hand. 

Her eyes started to become wet and fear rose up in her heart. She couldn't breathe, "No. No! NO!" she screamed. A strong hand yanked her hair back and dragged her across the floor. "Please, no!" she sobbed. 

Casper stopped, "Get up," he ordered 

"No. Please Cas-" 

"SON OF A," he grabbed her hair again and slung her into the elevator. There was a loud thud as she smacked the metal walls. She shivered as he walked in next to her. Eve tried to get up. He looked at her and sighed. He kicked her gut and she fell right back down.  Threw the last cracks of the open door, Eve saw Matt stumble up. 

"Matt!" She screamed, blood dripped down her face. 

"Eve!" he yelled starting to run for the elevator. 

"...help." The doors shut in her face. She wearily looked up with a mess of hair and bloody face. "Why? Why you?" 

"You don't know me. Don't judge me. I think you'll find out soon enough. The truth and the story," Casper's face hardened, "Accept the Fate and break the promise." 

With those words, Eve fell in a deep panic. If she dies tonight, everyone will too. David, Bailee, Matt, Raven, Amber, and everyone. Her tear stained eyes watched as the elevator counted down the numbers till her death. I can't do this. I can't do this. I'm alone. I-I.......
