Jack grew more and more worried about the death and Mariah took notice of it. "Your friends....... they're not dead....... yet" Mariah said eerily and Jack gave a breath of relief but his concern didn't stop.

The defense group was sitting around in silence, the outside world has long since grown dark, the sound of scuffling was outside but nothing had tried to force it's way into the room yet. Orianna had become a psuedo-leader and was directing the people to their appropriate positions, who should take watch, what supplies were given out. Everything was managed by her.

Mariah and I were sitting still, Mariah's eerie aura kept on pricking my spirit essence which kept sending me messages of danger and a person I should watch out for.

Mariah just sat there silently, grinning as she caresses a doll with blond hair attached to it. She kept tracing her fingers around the chin, down the chest, and messes with the hair on it.

 Jonah and Correy had talked and after a while came back to the group. "Right, Correy here is a big help, He can get the lights in the hallway on so that means we can actually see what we're up against." Jonah announced to the group.

Everyone nods and cheers but then his next words causes everyone to freeze "Who volenteers to find one of these panels?"

The room became deadly silent and Mariah laughs aloud. "Death is around us, not our losses but tonight it is death's victory." Morale across the room dropped low, Jonah gave Mariah a piercing glance yet he managed to salvage the situation by calming everyone down.

"We can wai't till first light, gives you all the best chance to make it back before night fall, People required to go are Mariah and Jack, sorry Jack but I need someone to keep Mariah in check and you're the best man for the job for now" Jonah grimaced and Jack could only nod.

Mariah smiled crazily as if she was excited to go out to her death and due to this fact no many were willing to go.

Another guy was forced to come alongside us as a reassurance policy but he was scared out of his wits.

I could only sigh as first light came around, the sound of scuffling outside ceased and the hallways lit up once more.

Correy took a backpack full of supplies and alongside Mariah and I we traversed down the hallway.

The area where the duo died yesterday was filled with dried blood yet no corpses were seen, as if the beings that wandered the night had taken everything for their own.

"Tick Tock, another one drops" Mariah smiles her eyes wide with glee as she hums to herself Afterward they walked in silence except for Mariah's humming.

Jack was becoming unnerved by Mariah's eccentric behavior when they turned the corner and saw a large bulky cache of packages on a push cart. Jack looked at the cart and took out his Walkie Talkie and spoke into it "Hey Jonah, we got a supply cache over here, send someone into the Math hallway that nearest to the lockers labeled 251" Jack said as he looked at nearby landmarks.

Without waiting for a reply Jack went off the walkie talkie and he motions for Correy to follow him, In his observations he noticed one package slightly ajar/

"Hey whats your name" Jack asked the guy who had accompanied them and he murmured "Otis"

"Okay Otis I got a task for you, you can watch our backs, we got a package to open"

Otis nerviously looked around, and when his eyes landed on Mariah she just smiled at him, Otis backed away unconciously but he stopped again and started to be on lookout once more.

Correy stroded up to the package and ripped it open, revealing a book with thin pages

"Meiro's Seven Mysteries and Tricks to Survive Them" Correy read aloud and thats when the hallway turned red as darkness descends, screeching from down the hall was heard and with my spirit essence I could tell that something big was coming.
