When we landed it's with a thud; I am silent as I look at my family. We're in a new universe, and I say nothing to my sisters and our mates. We're inside the car which is invisible; we're quietly sitting as I was checking the map, and I say nothing as I was using my powers. Once I know where we are I was quiet; when we passed through the portal between our last world and our next world all of the disease or whatever that might have been on the car and our bags were killed on contact with the barrier. It was also destroyed off our clothing and skin it felt like full body tingles I'd gasped.When it is being destroyed off our skin it tingles, and it made us very horny, but being strapped in we couldn't engage in sex without possible injury. It also killed any foreign disease in our body not just on our bodies. The men were silent as we're not saying a word. Then I was flying it’s the year 2015. We are silently sitting together, I got us set up with jobs and work; I am a student as are my sisters who aren't as smart. They're smarter than others. We're at school; I had been in an accident. It was one where I was the only survivor of my group when they found me clinging to the edge.We're standing there, there's a knock, and I went to open it. Then I look down right there on the stoop was a box, and I frowned as I stand quietly; I crouch down to grab the box. Then the men all had asked who was at the door; I said it was a delivery. It was for me; I held the box, it wasn't very big, and I walked back inside as I held it, and closed the door. Then I was locking the door; I went into the kitchen, and I set the rest of the mail on the island. Then I took out my box cutter, and I am silent; I had looked at the puzzle box. I was working on it while I am cooking. I solve it easily.Then I was silent as I looked at the information on the slip of paper. I was looking at my jacket, and I sat down with my tablet. I have my mini tablet; the escape room website is weird. I am sitting at my desk. I am tapping my nails on the desk. I go and I had RSVP'd, and I am quietly standing there thinking. My sisters looked at me with interest; we're silent as Simonette stopped in front of the building as Collette got out of the back, and she opened my door for me. Then I looked at the building silently; I am silent for a moment. “We're going to want the full Deetz when you get back.”“Yeah” I said. “this shouldn’t take long” I straighten, and then I turned. I am walking toward the building I walk into the building; I have on a long trench coat with hidden pockets. My phone had been hidden in one of the pockets. I have a camera on my glasses; I walk into the building and toward the security guard. He asks me for my phone; I look at his face quickly, as I stand. “I don't have a phone” I said. We're silent as we looked at each other; I don't give away my lie. Then he looked at me, and he asks for my ID; I had given it to him, he copied it. I took it back from him.“Through those elevator doors, up to the third floor” he tells me. “Thank you for your service” he said. I frowned at that; what the hell does that mean. I looked back at him over my shoulder frowning.I held the elevator for another person and then we're going up to the third floor. Then I had exited the elevator, and I walk to the door of the room. When I walked in, I see an older man, and I see a group of several others. We are silent then another woman arrived Amanda with a guy playing on a phone. The other guy is a dark-skinned guy, the one who rode up in the elevator with me; I don't speak to them as I stand there. When a young man came into the room, and we had been waiting a while he got up. He wants to try and leave to go smoke before the escape room starts.The doorknob came off, and I walk over; and I took the knob. Then I look at it; I was checking the knob, it’s a fake doorknob. “It wasn't meant to open once the door was closed” I stated. “Start looking around the room. DON'T do anything until you tell us about it. The last thing we need is to have major fuck ups” I said. “We are locked in this looks like a stove dial” I said. I looked around the room; I had been crouching; I stand up and I walked over to the pillar. “These aren't support pillars.” I tell them. “I'm a structural engineer I would know” I am looking at them, and I don't say a word as I look.“If those are heating coils” I said mostly to myself I moved over to the table and I start moving stuff looking at the table. I pull out my flashlight and then I sat up. “not the table” I said. “check the books read me the titles.” They started reading the titles of the items on the table. “The dial only goes up to 600” I said. “A house fire burns at over 1700 plus” I was looking around the room. I stopped.“Wait repeat that book title” I am silent as I look at the girl from across the room from me. She is standing there at the bookshelf, and she's been reading the titles aloud with the other kid I stop.“Fahrenheit 451” she said they all stopped and looked at me. I look at them and she was standing there with her hand in the book cover, I looked around the room quickly and then at the dial.“That's it; Check the insides of the book.” I tell them. They start checking the books. I told them to clear one of the couched; I took everything off the table, and I am inspecting it. I have out my small flashlight. “Bring the books over here” I said. I have them stack the books. I touched one of the coasters and I see the cups and I press down on the coaster it has some give. I stand there. “This isn't a real extinguisher they legally for commercial use have to be red” I pull it off the wall I was looking at it. “Grab the cups put three of them on the coasters. Start filling them.” I tell them. I am silent.I pull the pin on the fake extinguisher and it’s a key. I looked around. I only see one place that needs a key. They looked at me; I stand there. I looked at them quietly for a moment and I think.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“Okay so when we turn the dial it's probably going to get hot in here. So, we need to be ready to move” I said. “This key opens that patrician. The screwdriver, I don’t know what it's for yet” I say. “I advise you leave your warm clothing on even if it gets hot. We're likely going to go from the frying pam straight to the icebox.” I am standing there; they're looking at me. “So, when you're ready I will turn the dial and then we need to go to the patrician and get that opened.” I ask if they're ready, and they tell me yes. Then I turned the dial to 451, and then it has begun. We're working “books give me the books.”“stack them on them cups” I said. Soon all of the cups are fully depressed down into the table, and the gate opened. “Run” I said. Then we're moving; we were climbing through, and we made it to the end, right before the fire came after us. The kid with the phone thought it was fake. “Clearly not fake.” I pull out the pills and I took one. I swallow it with some water from the bottle carry. “Let's all just take a beat and catch our breaths” I say. “We just escaped one room and it nearly killed us” I sat on the floor. Then I am getting up; we're silent as we looked at each other. I start looking around.I looked and observed the room; I don't touch anything while I looked, and I look for clues to the lock. “That's the door to get out of the cabin we need a key.” We found the key; I looked at them as they opened the lock. I looked at the lock its letters; they're talking I had seen letters and I figure out the password. I put the letters in, and the door opens. They look at me. “the antlers have letters” I said. They look at them and came back over. We open the door, and it is cold; they're looking at each other. Someone needs to stay, and I keep the door from closing. I have a feeling if it closed.We'd all be freezing to death very soon. They look at me; I am looking at the door. “Someone needs to keep the door opened” I said. “If it closed; we’ll be locked out and freeze pretty quickly. I can already tell you it's below 32 outside of the cabin” I said. “Look for something to use to keep the door opened” I tell them. They're looking at me standing there as I was searching the room. I found looked at the door its made with cheap wood, and I kick it I break the door off the hunches. “Yeah, sorry I am not sorry” I say in a very snotty voice looking at the camera. I stand quietly looking at them now.“Okay so before we keep going something about this room and the last room were bugging me.” I state looking at them; they look at me. “The newspaper that Amanda picked up said 5 died in house fire.” I look at her. “I saw the way your face looked the expression changed dramatically. That expression is an expression I have seen many times in survivors” I said. “So, fire?” I asked. She looks at me now.“These rooms don't feel random, my mind is very adept at finding the answers to puzzles. So, you have a traumatic house fire in your past. “Who has ice or extreme cold?” I asked. The kid, the smoker; he'd said he'd had an accident on ice. The other guy the African American said he'd had in incident with cold water. They looked at me; I was standing there. “What?” I asked. They look at me.“So, what did you have?” the girl Amanda asks. I look at her; we're silent as we stand there; I look at them I put the door over the door sized whole so we could keep the heat in; I look at them.“Abusive parent” I stated. I walked away. They looked at each other; I walked outside. I started looking and I found a coat. I brought the coat inside. “So, you need to take turns in pairs searching for clues. I stopped ignoring my gut feelings when I was 10.” I state. “My gut says there will be trouble if we try to all pile outside. If you're going to smoke stand in the doorway to do it.” I tell them. “I have had a bad feeling about the doorway since we came in here.” I tell them. I look around; I pull the snowshoes off the wall. I put them on. I tell them to stay cleared out from the middle of the room.The room that was outside of the cabin. They look at me; I was standing there I had come back in. “It’s a large self- made lake/pond” I said. “It is frozen over and that likely means there are weak spots that will break.” They look at each other; I stand there. “I heard the cracking as I walked across the ice.” I stated. “Hence why I ran back here so fast” I stand there quietly. “there are 3 pairs of these” I'd said. We found the frozen ice block. I told them to wait a minute, and I grab a large metal wash basin and put it in there. I went, and grab wood and I put it into the fire. The ice was melting now.“So now we need to find a door there isn't a door in here we'd have seen it. five me a minute.” I found a wool blanket and I was cutting and working on it and then I held it out. “it will keep you warm enough you can pass it back and forth we need two teams of 2 people start checking each side.” I had grabbed items and I hand them to them. “When in doubt always know how to make survival gear” I say as I look at them. I made gloves. They're not very perfect but I made 2 pairs that would help at least a little. “Swap the gloves and jacket one has the jacket the other has the gloves” I said. They nod.The key is free, and we soon found the door. That dumb naïve kid didn't listen about the ground, and I'd to save him from falling into the water. Then we're having to run; I am in the rear, and I was the last through. I'd run and slid through the doorway, and I bump into the others. We look at each other; I stand, I look around. I stand there; I take stock, and then I speak. “Okay now everyone off the floor” I say. “That's got to be the exit” I say. “I free climb in my spare time, so you tell me where to go stay up there and I will get over to it.” I helped them up and we're looking at each other. I stop.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“The wall art looks like it might be something” the girl said. So, I climb up and I heard the phone ring. We're silent as we looked at each other. I am moving the pieces and then the first floor-section it had fell out. They all looked at me; I am silent as I got the wall art solved. I looked at the pool table, and I see the balls. Then I made my way across the room I look at it from another angle and I'd spotted the safe. I climbed up to the bar and I am barely able to see the others. “There's a small safe read me the numbers” I said. They read the numbers around the room “What about the pool table.”I looked at the art. “Read the numbers based on the art puzzle on the wall” I said. They read it. “I GOT IT” I opened the safe and inside was the doorknob. I am silent as I looked at them; I took a deep breath. I took off the long trench coat, and my other jacket. Though I kept on the cardigan, and I pulled out my glasses, and I am silent for a moment. I dig through my pockets, and I found the rope. They were all staring at me; I tied a monkey fist knot and then I shove all of the other shit into my cardigan pockets. I threw the rope hooking it around the nearest table. I yanked hard.It's good; I used a simple knot to tie the rope to the bar, and I made my way across the bar. When I tug the rope end from where I had tied it off it came undone. Then I had made it to the phone; it was answered but there was no one there. I tried to call out and it doesn't dial out; I am silent. We're silent now; I look around the last floor panel fell out. I am sitting there; I took a breath and look at the bottom of the pool table. Then I crawled across the bottom of the pool table. Then I am silent as I look; I crawled and then I set myself. I launch across the gap, and they caught my arms.Then I had tuned, and I yank on the rope; I am silently standing. We walked through the doors to the next level; we started looking around, and I look at them. They start freaking out, and I had tried to shut them up, and I didn't listen. Ben and Jason wound up on the next level without Zoey. Mike, Danny, and Amanda died. Then I am silent, and I look at Zoey and Ben. We're walking out of the building afterward. Ben is hurt; I had killed the Games Master. The gamemaster tried to kill me; we're silent after leaving we went to the hospital. The cops didn't believe us; we're silent.We were meeting after Ben got out of the hospital; I looked at Ben and Zoey. We're sitting and Zoey was talking to us as we're sitting; we're going to Manhattan. Jax, Chibs, Happy, Nero, Russell, Marcus, and Baba are coming with us. We are in the cars. We arrived at the building, and I was silent my sisters are with us. Then a man robbed Ben, we ran after him all of us did; we are on his ass I tased him, and we took back what the man stole. We got onto the train it was quicker to get us back to the cars. We're all on the train; my sisters look at me. I am seated we're speaking grounder.Jax was wearing his leather Kutte and so was Chibs and Happy. Baba learned our language; we're silently sitting together talking, as I held a book in my hand. Then something happens to the train, and it is no longer connected to the rest of the train. Baba is sitting there; we're looking at each other, Nero got up and we look at each other. Then the guy with hearing aids freaked out, and he's getting very upset. “Nero deal with that mess man I can't think with him freaking out.” I say Nero got up and went over and got him to sit down. I was looking around; I start checking the signs.They're on the inside of the train, and I noticed the misspellings. I looked around me; I was silent as I look at the handles and I grabbed one and I pull it down and I caught the coin. It was an A; I went and look and found a missing B so I pulled another what should be the B, and it drops a coin. I nod. I tell Zoey to find you where the tokens go. “Baba, I need you to hold onto these I don't know who many there are.” I gave him the coins. I pull on the C. That's just a Hunch. I start checking the other signs. I hand Baba the coins. Ben found a coin slot. I look at them. “26 handles 26 letters.”“4 handle down left side pull the handle” I say. I see the bags lining. “Jax cut the bags lining everyone I will tell you which handles to pull the more handles we pull faster the electricity is arcing, so we need to go fast and correct.” I pull the C, that's good. “BAC” I said. “Letters” I point. I pull the E. Just out of curiosity to be right. “Pull the W” I said. “One before the red handle” I said. I start thinking fast.“W” the red head shouts. “there are 2 E's, 2 C's.” the girl said I looked at the word and then I ran through the permutations in my head. I have the answer with 95% certainty. I look at them.“O.” I point. “L” I tell Jax which one. “M” I point Nero pulls a handle. I took all the coins after we solved it, and I put them in the slot. “Get to the hatch” I said. Then I had put in the last one, and they all ran to the hatch. I ran and slid and then fell down the hatch before I was electrocuted. We're silent as we look at each other; I look at them. We're inside a cage and I pull out my satellite phone. It doesn't have a good signal. They looked at me; then the cage was dropping. I am holding on. The men looked at me quickly; we're silent as we looked at each other quietly I am worried.We're going down fast; we're silent looking at each other. Then I looked at the others, and I stand there; I was worried. We are standing there; I looked at them silently. “Can we all just take a moment to gather our wits” I said. The other contestants are losing their shit; I had looked at them. “CALM DOWN” I shout. When asking nice fails shouting usually works. We're silent as they look at me; I am silent for a moment. “What were your challenges. Nothing is random” I said. “What were your groups?” I asked. “Me, Ben and Zoey were all sole survivors” I said. “We survived an accident only us.”“Influencer” the girls said. I nod and another said priest. I look at them the Red head girl she replied and so did the deafened kid. We're silent as we looked at each other. “they didn't participate?”
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
“No, they were with us when we cane after the guy who stole Ben's wallet” I said. “Jax, Chibs, Nero, Marcus, Russell, Happy and Baba” I introduce them. “My sisters Simonette and Collette” I say. “We need to work smarter not harder” I said. We're looking at each other; they nodded at me, and we leave the elevator that started to rattle. “Okay call out what you see don't go anywhere yet after we get into the next bit.” We looked around. “Okay a bank that's the vault.” I looked at them. I look around, I see the suckers; I knelt down. I pull out the flashlight and check the table. I don't see any triggers.“Wait” I saw something I found a sucker with a key. “The key” I said. “find the other there are probably 2” I tell them. I looked at the suckers and they found another key; I am right I look around.“Lockboxes” the redhead said I took one key and Simonette came with me. “no one goes alone” I said. “teams of two” I tell them. I stop them. “check the counters for triggers” I said. We found none and so we cross the counters. “DON'T” I tell Ms. Influencer. “The floor tiles would be rigged that's what I would do” I say. She stops and steps back. “There's probably a path that is safe to follow” I tell her. I am looking at the boxes. My sister Collette and Jax went to the other side, and they're looking. One of the girls stepped on the tiles and we all freeze. We found the answer and we're looking at me.We wound up running through the maze after we solve it, and I am the last one through. I save the priest. We'd had to run when the rocks overhead collapse. Then I looked at the others; I am silent for a moment. “That's two puzzles I solved almost all on my own. So maybe trust me and listen” I say. They look at me and then nod; “don't touch anything look around before ye start grabbing shit.” I am looking around; the whole thing wasn't good. We're able to solve the beach and that is good next came the city I got separated from the rest of them. I woke up; I see the girl I flipped around now.Then I crouch looking at her. She's looking at me; she's telling me how she's a prisoner. I back up. “STOP” I said. I cover my ears. The words triggered my PTSD. I am shaking, and I have to get out of here. But I can't leave her here. I slowly stand up; I looked at her I see the numbers and the changing information on the other side. I went to one corner of the room. Then I had crouched, and I see the pentagram, the shell, and the DNA strand. I tell her what I see. Then she got the door opened; her father came, and I beat his ass. I took the gun from him, and I threw him in her old cell.“I changed codes if you try to tamper with the door, it will shut down for 24 hours” I said. “You get three attempts at the code then the panel shuts off for 24 hours.” I look at the man. “Your boned” I say. It is a shame; he is an evil prick. I looked at the man and I don't say a word. I look at the girl, I saved her friend from being killed. I sense something is wrong with her mentally. I use my powers then I made her an empath. I made sure she can't shut off the emotions. She's looking at me; then I went to save my family, and I was hugging them. We're silent as I look straight ahead without a word.I was worried; she's looking at me; we're quiet, my family is looking at me. We're hugging. The whole thing is a mess. I look at the cops, and I told them where I'd been taken. They arrested the man and his daughter. We all testify, and they are both going to jail until someone bought the judge. They'd made it so that the daughter wasn't charged the father is killed in prison. I look at my family; we're leaving. I am silent, We're leaving his place we're leaving this earth. The men are silent we're all packed and we're leaving going far away from this universe it was a fucked up one I hated it.The men are with me in the car. I am sitting with my sisters and we're taking off. The car is floating, we're silent as we're looking at each other quietly now. I am ready and so are they I open a portal to the next universe and we're going through it. They are all buckling up and we're all ready for the moment we're thrown back into the seat as we're sucked into the portal at Mach 2. We held on.
