"Who's scream was that?!" Calum yelled, confused.

It sounded like Sydney, but that couldn't be possible? he thought.

"I-I don't know... It sounded like Sydney" Alice spoke, shocked.

Different things were swirling through each of their minds, thinking out berserk or reasonal possibilities.

"Do you guys think that...there could be more people trapped here?" Ashton added in, frightened.

What if other people just like us got trapped here? What if they were stupid like us and came into an abandoned home? Ashton thought.

"But that sounded exactly like Sydney" Alice argued.

"But... That's impossible, her d-dead bod-body on the ch-chair" Michael stammered, breaking into tears, again.

Michael could barely speak, shocked over the tragic, unexpected yet expected death of his beloved girlfriend.

"Then why did the scream sound exactly like hers?" Calum spoke up, voice shaky.

"What if she's still alive? She's smart, she could've thought a plan up" Joy began.

"But her dead body was attached to the chair!" Ashton whisper yelled.

The group quickly got up and headed over to where the dead body lay, shocked. They didn't realise this before...

"H-how?" Ashton gaped.

Sitting on the chair wasn't Sydney. The body and appearance looked like Sydney, but it didn't at the same time.

"B-but... Then, where's Sydney?! It looks like her but not like her at the same time?!" Calum yelled.

They heard an abrupt knock on the window, causing them to become wary and alert, the sound making their hearts thump in their chests.

"Guys!" A familiar voice spoke, loud enough for them to hear.

"Sy-Sydney?" Ashton whispered, wandering if he was dreaming or not, so he began pinching himself.

"I'll explain to you once we get out. I found a place nearby, hurry up and open the fucking window!" She half yelled.

So the window would've helped us get out, Calum thought.

They slowly and carefully opened the window, the entire group climbing down quietly. They were shocked and surprised that who ever was in the house, didn't follow them, or realise they had gotten down.

They were all careful to not crunch any leaves, otherwise they might get caught by their killer.

"S-Sydney. I thought you died!" Michael whispered, kissing her forehead and hugging onto her tightly, really confused as to how she was still, well, alive.

"I'm not that dumb, I would do whatever it takes to stay alive" she smirked, almost if it this was all a joke.

"Hurry up, follow me. But, be quiet" she whispered.

They all nodded, following her towards a small cabin, barely able to be seen.

"How did you escape? How are you alive?!" Calum yelled as they walked past several trees.

"Okay, there was another dead body in the room I was in. And, I knew I would die. So I let out a bloodcurdling scream, whipped the ground with the whip she was going to take my life with. Then the woman who is trying to kill us would think I killed myself. I put the dead girl on the chair, hiding myself near a window in the room I was trapped in. When she came in to see what happened, she cackled. She brought the dead girl down to the room room you guys were in, thinking it was me" Sydney began.

"But she looked like you?" Ashton spoke, more like a question than a statement, confused.

"She did, and that scares me. But there are meant to be seven people in this world who look like you, I got lucky I guess" Sydney sighed.

After moments of silence while walking through the forest, Sydney broke down.

"I'm the reason Luke's dead" she cried.

"What? How?" Joy yelled.

"Shut up!" Calum whispered, throwing a hand over both of their mouths.

"The woman made me a-answer riddles. I had two minutes per question, and I got through some but... I couldn't answer the last one she asked. She said if I couldn't answer any, one of you would die. And s-she killed Luke" Sydney whispered.

"It's not your fault. She would've probably asked you riddles until you couldn't figure the answer out" Calum spoke, comforting her.

They noticed cut barbed wires, broken wooden fences. There were horrid smells coming from all different directions. There were dark liquids stained on trees, little bits of papers and newspaper too. It was so dark, but somehow, there was a little bit of light.

They finally approached the little cabin Sydney was talking about, creaking the door open and hoping inside it.

"We should all duck down and stay quiet until we come up with a decent plan, okay?" Sydney ordered.

The others just nodded, shrugging their shoulders.

Then, they heard a rustling coming from outside, hoping it was only some leaves.

Oh, how terribly wrong they were.
