What? Ivan is smiling, he knows what it is, it seems the psycho planned the poem according to our experiences. James and I knew the first poem, Lisa knew the second, and now Ivan. Maybe that's why he said that we're lucky.
"Okay guys, now think deep! We have like twenty minutes!"
"Is it something you can eat?" Lisa asks.
"No," Ivan answers.
"They said it's pure, any liquids or gases can't be pure, so it's definitely solid, everything so far is all natural things, blood, and spiders, so is it a stone?" James says.
"Yes!" Ivan replied.
"It's definitely a semi-precious stone," I say.
"Great! Now let's search before the time runs out!".
We ran down the hallways, and searched for any shade of blue, that is a stone, which is round.
"I found it!" Lisa yells.
"Are you sure it's the right one?" James asks.
"It's the only round thing that looks like a blue marbled pearl".
"What is it?" James asks.
"It's a Larimar, a beautiful semi-precious stone," Ivan says.
"Come on guys! Let's go!" I yell.
Knowing that there is barely any time left, eight minutes tops. We all ran towards the frozen looking door, and placed the stone of the middle, it pressured something, and then the door started lowering.
In our shock we saw eight people! Everything was cold, they look frostbitten! Something that looks like a two sided grappling hook was jammed to two torsos and the thing was attached to a vertical pole!
"You have to make your decision, one by one, choose one of them, and choose wisely, you have an hour until I decide to kill them all," the psychopath says.
Ivan is crying, seeing Stephanie and his driver Elliot Tubic, James is shocked, seeing a little girl, and a teenage boy, Lisa petrified, seeing her Mom, and Bradley, and I just stood there, motionless, seeing both my brothers, John and Jonathan...
Looking at James' reaction... The little girl is her sister, and seeing Ivan looking at the teenage boy a couple of times... It must be Henry Hollsworth... Another best friend of James and Ivan...
"Dude... Let her survive... Kill me," Henry says.
"No! I'll see if I can save you both!"
James took his gun and tried shooting the pole in half, but no use! It's only dented.
"Like I said... Let her live," Henry tearfully said.
Henry inhales, he immediately pulled the pole towards him, setting Anne free, and killing himself. As he forcefully pulled the grappling spike inside him, and as blood splatters, Anne struggles painfully. And he screams in pain.
"No!" James shouted.
He ran towards them.
"Stop it Henry!"
Blood spurts out of his mouth, and smiles at him, giggles a bit. Anne was then released.
"Shut up... You're one of the best friends... I-I couldn't... have asked for... Same goes... To Ivan."
"No..." James guilty says.
"Just promise me you all will get out of here..."
James just smirks at him, Henry finally falls down, and gave his final breath, and looks at James with a blank look.
Ivan's turn... He looks at Henry, and then back at Elliot and Stephanie. Stephanie cries, Elliot is just sitting there, out of breath, deep thoughts.
"Whoever you choose... It's okay... So choose Elliot..."
"No Miss... You've been kind, and optimistic for the past couple of hours, you deserve to live."
I look at the clock, and see forty minutes left. Ivan sees it too. Elliot and Stephanie started quarrelling on who should live and who should die. Ivan is just paranoid now; he's walking around, making gestures, his lips moving, but not making a sound. Suddenly Stephanie grabbed the pole like how Henry did it, Elliot does the same.
"I've already spent my life! You should be given a chance!" Elliot yells.
He's pulling it towards himself; Stephanie is countering it by pulling it towards herself. We all watched in shock, they're giving each other their own lives to save another! Ivan finally interferes and then... Lisa screams dreadfully, our eyes widened in terror... Stephanie and Elliot... Ripped in half... Ivan falls to his knees, dwelled in sadness.
Lisa started crying as she knows... She now has to decide between her boyfriend... .And her mom.
"Mrs Summer, you should live... You should take care of her... As her mother, something I can never do" Bradley says.
"Bradley, dear... You'll be the one living with her, for the rest of your lives... I think it's proper that you get through this..."
They both said under lost of breath, tiredness, and pain... We all watched in sadness... We love them both equally...
"Mom... I can't let you just die like that... But I also can't live without Bradley... I don't know what to do..."
Mrs Summer smiles... Knowing that she'll have to be the bigger person...
"If you die... Lisa wouldn't forgive Bradley for it... But if Bradley dies... Lisa would be scarred for life... Either way... There's a..." I stopped. "Is that a key hole?"
