"Ugh, come on!"

For a while, Kate struggled against the wall and I tried to help her.

"It's no use. We're stuck here. We need to find another way."

Then suddenly the power went out, similar to what happened when I was in the Silver Ash Institute.

Kate was then able to open the wall all of a sudden.

"Wow...I don't know if that's luck or someone's messing with the power."

"Maybe it's Jamie..."

"Let's keep moving..."

We heard distant banging from somewhere else.

Investigating it we found a book preventing one of the walls from fully closing.

"Who says self help books don't work."

I chuckled as Kate started to push against the wall, opening it and allowing me to quickly squeeze before she came through as well.

I heard someone crying...

"Do you hear that?"

"Crying?"

"That doesn't sound like Jamie, does it?"

Kate investigated a door.

"Hello? Can you hear me?"

Without an answer I told her to keep moving.

---

We entered a room which looked like it a family lived in.

Kate and I investigated the room. I found a book.

The author was Joseph Morello.

I looked at Kate who scribbled on a piece of paper with her pencil.

"Kate. Look at this."

She went over to me and I offered her the book, which she looked at.

"That wasn't Du'Met on the ferry. It was Joseph Morello."

"The true crime writer?"

"Yes. Now it makes sense."

"So I was right. Du'Met is in reality who is...after us."

Kate noticed how uneasy I was getting and held a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't worry, Y/N. We'll get out of here. There will be a way."

"I hope you're right. I just...we lost Erin. I don't want to lose you as well. I know we all didn't get along well together but now..."

"It's alright, Y/N. We can talk about this later. Now we have to focus on getting out of here."

I gave her a nod and continued investigating.

"Bethany..."

I heard Kate say.

"Was her name on the guest book?"

"I guess so. We definitely aren't the first guests here."

I saw a bowl with the name "Connie" on it.

They brought a dog with them?

I left it behind for now and then I spotted something.

A newspaper article. I picked it up.

It was an article about Manny Sherman. I was shivering. His corpse was stolen from it's grave.

Oh shit...that means he was already dead. And someone stole his corpse?

Some dreadful feeling started to make itself known inside my stomach. It was as if something that I don't want to have true is making itself known to me.

"Focus..."

I heard Kate whisper to herself, when she entered a code on the keypad to open the door next to it.

We went inside and found something covered by a blanket. Kate pulled it off and I screamed when I saw it.

It was dead woman's head...with her eyes gouged out...

"Oh my god!"

"No! Oh my god, no! This is too much. I can't deal with this..."

I almost puked and turned away.

"I'm gonna be sick..."

"We have to find Jamie!"

I knew Kate was right. We had to find her. Fast.
