Natalie groaned and looked up at Emily, who was tightly holding onto her. Emily was hanging upside down, with a cord connected to her ankle, that's what saved them. "Em!" Natalie shouted.

Emily winced, "I can't hold on much longer!" She yelled. She quickly looked around "Here!" Emily started switching them back and forth until finally, she let Natalie go which made her hand safety on a cliff, the cord snapped and Emily landed next to her.

"Holy shit," Natalie said and stood to her feet, the rest of the tower collapsed. A piece of debris hitting Emily's knee.

"Fuck!" She winced in pain. Natalie grabbed a hold of Emily and pulled her out of the way. Emily ripped a piece of her shirt off "Two hundred dollars down the drain..."

Natalie shook her head slowly, Emily used a piece of her shirt to make a torch. "Perfect. I'll buy you a new shirt." She joked.

Emily smiled, the two girls linked hands and walked together. "Where are we?" Emily asked.

Natalie shook her head "No clue." She answered and looked around. "Maybe this is where the psycho has been hanging out at."

Emily sighed "I hope not." She said. Natalie agreed. "Nat?"

Natalie looked at her "Yeah?"

Emily sighed "So this has been bottled up since, maybe even before Mike and I broke up. But you are amazing and pretty, funny. Just what I'm trying to say is that I love you, a lot. And more than a friend." She said, looking down at her feet.

Natalie smiled slightly "You know it's horrible timing to tell me this right?" She asked. Emily looked up at her "I love you too Em." Natalie smiled, cupping her face softly. What she had dreamed of and had nightmares of. She kissed Emily, their lips touching. And for a moment they both felt like nothing could hurt them. But they were interrupted by screeching.

Emily pulled away "What the hell was that?" Emily asked.

Natalie shook her head "I don't know, but I don't think I wanna know either." She admitted. "Let's go."

Emily limped and Natalie walked until they came to a door. "It's locked," Emily said. "Like every fucking other thing."

Natalie looked around "Watch out I'm gonna push that cart." She said and walked up to the cart, pushing it. It smashed into the door and the two kept walking. They made it too and the elevator shaft "fuck it's broken!"

Emily sighed and looked around "Up another ladder we go." She said pointing to a ladder. Emily climbed up and then Natalie climbed up but the ladder broke, dropping them deeper into the mines. "For fuck sake can everything just stop going wrong!"

Natalie helped Emily to her feet "Apparently not." She remarked. Emily pulled out her phone and turned the flash on.

They both saw skulls and bones and screamed "Holy shit!" Emily shouted, disgusted. They both turned around, rushing off. They walked for another few minutes before Emily's phone died and she started up the torch again. They exited the cave and saw a rockslide.

"Finally! Fuck yes!" Natalie said and the two of them tried to run up and slid down.

"Fuck no!" Emily yelled.

Natalie sighed, smiling at Emily's comment. "Guess we keep walking." The two of them moved some boards around and turned around, what they thought was a doll. But revealed to be Beth's head. They both screamed. "Beth!"

"No no no!" Emily cried "No! It can't be!"

Natalie grabbed ahold of Emily's hand tightly "She- she's actually dead." Natalie whispered. Natalie looked around. "Look it's a picture- of Hannah." She said. Picking it up.

It was a photo of Hannah showing off her new tattoo "They fell down here. The day they disappeared." Emily suggested.

Natalie agreed "Had to be." She agreed. Stuffing the picture in her coat pocket.

Emily sighed "Guess we should look around here?" She inquired. Natalie nodded and the two started searching. Emily found Hannah's glasses and her locker. While Natalie found marks on a rock and Beth's cross. "Find anything interesting?"

Natalie nodded "Yeah uh, across. Hannah must of made it when Beth died and some markings on a rock. You?" She answered.

Emily sighed "Hannah's locket and glasses." She replied.

Natalie frowned "They're really dead then... aren't they?"

Emily sighed "Unfortunately I think so..." she admitted. Natalie covered her mouth, sobbing. Emily pulled her into a tight embrace. "Shh shh, it's okay. It's gonna be okay." Emily assured her. Natalie cried heavily. Before wiping her face.

"I can't believe they're gone. I mean over this past year I hoped I just hoped, they would be alive. Would have found a safe spot to stay. I hoped they were just missing and we would find them." Natalie explained. "I just wanted to fucking find them! It's all our fault, Emily! That stupid fucking prank ruined everything! I killed my best friends!"

Emily shook her head "It's not your fault they're dead! It's my fault- the prank was my idea!" Emily told her.

Natalie shook her head quickly "N-no Em! It's not your fault. It's all of ours?" She lied, still thinking it was her fault.

Emily nodded, linking their hands. "Okay." She said softly. They glanced around the mines. And got back in the elevator. "Finally!"

But the elevator came to a stop after riding up a little. "No..." Natalie mumbled and the two girls stepped out of it. The girls went to turn the corner but stopped when they saw a guy. "Fuck!"

"Shh!" Emily hissed "Hide!" She and Natalie leaned up against a wall. The two stayed silent, holding hands tightly.

"We gotta make a run for it," Natalie whispered, Emily nodded and the two ran off, the stranger chasing them. Emily threw down a barrel throwing the torch on it. It lit up in flames and they kept running.

"Hide here!" Emily said pointing to a small spot. The girls squeezed their way in between two boards. "Shh."

Emily and Natalie stood as still as possible but the stranger still found them. Emily and Natalie shared frightening looks to each other, squeezing each other's hands tightly. The stranger stared at them and Emily and Natalie backed away. "Don't hurt us!" Natalie screamed, protectively throwing an arm in front of Emily.

"Shh! I'm not here to hurt you!" He hissed, "Take this!" He tossed the two girls a bag and they stepped backward rolling down a steep hill.
