"You may see some of your friends along the way too." It finally connected, I knew what he meant by that, and he wasn't being helpful. He was going to do the same thing that he did to Hannah, to my friends, or maybe worse! I was so scared I could hardly move, both Emily and I looked at each other and we instantly knew, that this was going to be a living hell.

Even though I knew this, I also knew that we had to save Hannah so I had to stay focused. Pyron started to say something when Emily asked, "How are we going to find the numbers to the cards?" Pyron hesitated but then answered, "The cards are like a compass they will lead you to the numbers, and once you have found them the cards will glow bright green."

"When you find them, place the cards back on the template and then place the numbers on top." Jackson started to ask him something, but of course, Pyron interrupted him, "I can't give you any more information besides what I have already given you, so I must take my leave....." The screen blurred out again as he disappeared.

When we started exploring, I noticed how beautiful this floor was, it looked like a garden. There were bright green trees that yielded bright red apples, ripe and perfect for eating. Flowers of all shapes, sizes, and colors were alongside a beautiful blue stream with colorful, happy fish that leaped through the water.

After a while of just looking around, I noticed that we weren't doing anything. So I grabbed a card and started using it as a compass and sure enough, it glowed just as Pyron said it would. I twisted my body right (the card grew dim). So I twisted my body left (the card glowed brightly), so I went left until it started glowing dimmer again and I followed it until I led me to the stream.

Emily was staring at me the whole time with amazement because I was actually doing something smart for once, I chuckled to myself. Then Jackson said, "We all need to grab a card and help look for the numbers. Jessie can't have all the fun."

Then Emily, Jackson, and Christian all walked to the template and they each grabbed a card. I continued to look for the number, and I found it laying in the stream, blending in with the sandy bottom. My number was 9, and what I found coincidental about that was the number 9, was always my lucky number. Anyways back to the situation at hand, "I found one!" I yelled to no one in particular.

Emily yelled back, "I did too!" Then we started heading to the template with our card and the number. We placed our cards on the template, put our numbers on top. "Well, that was easy," Jackson said as he was doing the same thing that we did. I looked at Christian to see that he had found his too, and was walking this way.

When he put his number down, the numbers read, 9753. The numbers started to glow green, then they flew to a door that no one knew was there. The door looked like a door at a hotel because of how creepy it looked, the paint was chipping off and one of the door hinges looked very loose like it was about to fall off.

We all just looked at the door for a long time "Are we going or not?" Jackson asked rather impatiently, "Why, are you excited or something?" Emily asked confused. "No! I just want to get out of here as soon as possible!" Jackson yelled. We then started to go in making sure to watch our steps along the way.
