Ian's POV

It's been about 6 days, and we have a total of 8 notes. But our most recent note was a triplet, not a couplet like the others. Right now we're in the basement studying them.

"Today is the day we shall wait,

Every day until our fate.

And each day we live in fear,

Minecrafters, we hold you dear.

Can you find us, cold and scared,

Reach us before we aren't spared.

After dawn we sent a note,

For you are our only hope.

The initial way to speak to you,

Ending with a final clue.

Death awaits, make it fast,

Hurry the clues, we can't last.

Ebbing sparks that were once lit,

Let us out, we're losing to fight it.

Please hurry, we're dying here,

Unsure of what is near,

Surely you know what we fear." I said.

"Wow, that's a lot of poems." commented Mitch.

"Maybe there's some sort of code written in them?" Quentin asked.

"You tell me, you're the one that found them." said Jerome.

"But Adam's the one that wrote them!" Quentin argued.

"Guys, stop it. Adam didn't write them, someone else did. First, he doesn't have this handwriting. Second, he doesn't know how to write poems!" Ty explained.

"Well I guess that's what the 'we' means." I canceled out.

"And the 'final clue' must be the triplet, it's different from the others," said Mitch.

"Now we're getting somewhere!" exclaimed the fish.

" 'The initial way to speak to you', what do you think that means?" asked Jason.

"Initial, hmmm.... I've got it! Guys, look at the first letter of each line!" I said.

"T-E-A-M-C-R-A-F-T-E-D-H-E-L-P-U-S....." said Jason.

"Team Crafted, help us!" I said. "They're sending a message for help!"

"We need to rescue them. You know what this calls for-" said Mitch.

"Oh no." Said Jason.

"-Ski Masks!" Mitch exclaimed. "Now, for a successful escape we must have a disguise, and some sort of weapon."

"What should we use as a weapon?" I asked.

"Isn't it obvious? Nerf Guns! duh." said Jerome.

"No. Just, no." said Jason.

"Come on! you know you want to...." said Jerome....
