If we are not lucky enough I hear a loud shrieking and I could only imagine what that means, the endomins are moving irrationally all over the place, it grabs Ashley by the neck I pick up the book she dropped and realise their weakness is carbon dioxide, they have an extra layer of skin protecting them from the air, Chris grabs an extinguisher from his heavy backpack and the endomin drops Ashley down, "I knew this would come in handy!" Chris exclaimed "Alright, so we found its weakness, now theres a map in the book which says the bottle is down... wait where?" said Ashley in confusion, my eye catches something off in the distance, a tombstone! I say to myself "through here" I said pointing to the tombstone, as we run through multiples of endomins come diving towards us but Chris sprays them off with the extinguisher, just like I thought the spirits surrounding us like flies to manure, whats that blue light? That has to be the spirit bottle "quickly Sam, tip it over!" yelled Mike in a hurry, Smash! I threw the bottle on the ground as forcefully as I could, the whole ground shook with blue light everywhere then the endomins disappeared with the blink of an eye.

I feel like a whole weight just lifted off my shoulders, "Whoo hoo! Great job Sam!" Mike said "thanks for saving my life, again" said Ashley "Me too" said Chris. Suddenly a book falls from out of no where , I read the title and it says "The Wendigo's sister creature" "what? How could that be?" I said in utter confusion, "It has every single detail, even the dialogue of our journey!" said Ashley in surprise while reading it "you think we could sell this?" said Mike, the whole room grows quiet and everyone stares at Mike "Hey, it's a good idea if you ask me" said Mike in embarrassment. The passageway opens and thankfully I see no endomins lurking about, "alright," I said "Time to go home" we all say in unison, then we laugh.

The road back ispretty sturdy to me, I didn't expect for this to be the easy part I shouldn't speak to soon Sam I said tomyself, I walked up the passage with my friends as soon as we got up I felt anew era had just begun, all that was left to do was climb down from themountain, I got some thick rope from chris' bag and tied it like a lasso, I threw it on a treestump and with all my might I held my own weight while climbing down, I hearsomething chewing the rope, maybe it's a squirrel? I look over and see aterrible figure, sharp teeth, big alien-like head, it couldn't be an endominthey look far different from what I'm seeing now, it has to be Josh since he was the last person that turned into awendigo, I see my friends trying to stay still as a statue behind Josh, Joshchews the rope and with each bite he takes I'm trying to pull myself up but theweight overtakes me and I fall, "Sam!" yells everyone in unison, as I getcloser to the ground I lose hope of what I thought was over then I close myeyes tightly ready for the impact but there is none, I realise I have falleninto the arms of a wendigo at first I would've screamed but I think there is areason why it caught me. I look over on its shoulder and see a butterfly tattoooh my god! Is this Hannah? I think tomyself, I pull out a photo from my pocket and look at Hannah's shoulder and seethe same tattoo as there is on the wendigo, "Sam!" yells Chris "I'm fine!Hannah caught me!" I said "Hannah?" said Ashley. Josh immediately gives Hannaha death stare, Hannah drops me and instantly heads for Josh, they look likethey're fighting to the death. "I think it's time to go!" said Mike, they allclimb down the almost broken rope and jump down to reach me, "But-" I said withthen being interrupted by Mike "We have to go, yeah they are family to us and eachother but it's best that we stay away, we've already done our part" said Mikereassuringly
