"Change? What do you mean by that?"Rachel looked at Abigail. "Your attitude. Since you had free me, you always gave me a serious look. I mean I know the situation we're in, but the look of yours are different than the last time. It's like everything about you had..change. Rachel, just what happen to you the week before you decided to find us?"

Then only silent filled in the room. "That's.."Rachel tried to find the correct words to say but, not a single words came out from her mouth. "You don't have to know. It's none of your business."Rachel turned her back at Abigail,"Let's go."

"This room does look familiar, doesn't it?"Rachel said, tried to break the silent. "Seem so."Abigail answered as she looked up the ceiling. Her eyes widen in fear as she looked at the horrible thing. "Huh?"Rachel looked up too and saw a person, her friend. "ARNOLD!"Abigail and Rachel shouted. 

"He hung up in the ceiling with..."Abigail then finished Rachel's sentences. "....a spider's web.."Abigail said, fear that a giant spider may come. "We have to save him!"Abigail shouted. Then Rachel suddenly pulled Abigail's shirt, asking her to look at the wall where she pointed.

"IT CAN'T DETERMINE THE FAKE"

It's written in the wall, next to a dressing table. "It can't determine the fake? What does that's mean?"Abigail asked. "Beats me."Rachel answered. "We should find a way to bring Arnold down here."Rachel said as Abigail look around the room, trying to find an object. 

Rachel's POV

While Abigail was searching around the room, I'm trying to think a way to free Alex. 'It can't determine the fake...just what is its meaning?' I thought. Watching Abigail's movement then look up at Arnold. 'How do we get him down? He's too..heavy.' 

'Wait..Arnold caught up in a spider web, then that's mean a big size spider would come after him. It can't determine whether it's fake or not..does it mean the spider that can't determine the fake? Well, it's pretty obvious that a spider web were made by spiders. Right? But we don't know how many are there. In order to get Arnold down..we have to make a puppet of him? But that's impossible! How could we able to find a puppet of him? Don't tell me we have to make it..?'

Just as I was so caught up in my thought, Abigail suddenly called me, saying she found a hidden room behind the painting. "A hidden room..?"I asked. "Yea, I found it."Abigail answered. "I see..."Without even questioning, I went inside the room while Abigail follow behind me. 

In the room was the worst thing we see the most. Alex...was caught up in the spider web in this room. 

"DON'T GET FOOL BY WHAT YOU'VE SEEN. ONCE YOU SAVE ONE OF THEM, THE OTHER WILL GET EATEN BY A SPIDER"

"One of them is fake?"Abigail asked. "Yea."I nodded. 'These choices giving me headache.' I thought. "Alex is breathing, he has a body heat."Abigail said. Then we went to the next room.

"How do we see Arnold if he's real or not? He is up up in the ceiling."Abigail asked. "Yea. But from the looks of it. He's breathing..too.."I said. "Huh? Doesn't that's mean the two of them were real?"Abigail asked. 

"No, it couldn't be. Let's went inside the room where Alex were."Rachel answered Abigail. "It's real. Can't we wake them up or something?"I asked. "It's useless. They're under some kind of thing that let them sleep unless they're free."Abigail said. "How did you know?"I wondered. "It's the same as me. When I was trap inside the mirror, I can't open my eyes. Well, until you saved me."

"I see..."I looked at Alex then I said something that makes Abigail frighten. 

"Sacrifice Alex. He's fake."
