"Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."said I feeling happy after reading The Bible as my friends had heard it carefully.

I am Alexa and I am 16 years old, I like to investigate upon anything that feels suspicious because that makes my family and me safer. For me my friends are also a part of my family because they have always been with not matter what it is...

And I would like to introduce my friends to you. I have two Best Friends who are Sarah and Diana.

Sarah was my Best Friend since we were at Kindergarten. We fight,trash talk and prank upon each other but no matter what she would not allow others talk bad about me and me on her too. Sarah is 16 too.

Diana is more than a Best Friend... A Fashionable Friend, That is, Because always help me in dressing up for any event like on a date and so on and she always motivates me at the time of depression and I would say she is the coolest person in the world for me. Diana is 17 years old.

Oh I almost forgot about my Family, I lost My Dad when I was just 8 years old in a Car Accident when he was on the the way to the Hospital When he knew that I was sick and was admitted, My Mom is now everything for me as she tries to overcome the disasters in life or you can say she is trying to be a Good Mother to me and to My Brother, Oh I had a Younger Brother who is Allan, I would tell he is the Best Brother in the whole wide world as He is a funny fellow and just 14 years old but acts like a wise man who trys put some sense into me. We play Wrestling against each other and I always do Suplex and make him pissed off at me, I motivated him in his baddest of days.

My Brother has had a rough life being bullied and made fun off and darkest of them all was when he heard that Dad had died when He was just 3 years old He was the one who lost a lot of tears as Dad was the closest to him.

Then are my other friends some of them are so close and are just friends.

George is the coolest boy in school and the Handsomest too. He proposed me when I was 15 years old, I didn't know what to say at first but my mind told to say, "I love you too" but didn't kiss him as I resisted to.

Andrew is a kind off like a Best Friend as he has been like a Brother to me as I helped him in having a date with Diana as He always had a Crush on her and wanted my help as He felt that I was the closest friends to her.

Benjamin is a wierd but a kind person lovable but a nerd who does like to investigate a lot upon a small detail and explain it briefly. He trusts me the most in out of the rest of friends that I met him to.

Hassan is George's most valuable friend as they were friends since 6 years old and never left either of their sides even if it is for good or bad, As a promise of life to each of their lives. The only time I talked to him was when I was left alone when George had a work to do at that time Hassan was there to talk to me and seemed like a good friend to me too.

Xavier is a good friend, who has a crush on Sarah . Well I got to know it since the beginning as he was talking to me to just get Sarah's attention to him as a easy of attracting her. Well I couldn't say that to her as I felt that she also had an affection to him.

John is a shy friend of George and I don't get it why does he run away from me whenever I wanted to talk to him but George told me that he has got a crush on me. At that time I seriously blushed I wanted to talk to him ever since then.

And the rest are who will be there with us has not been essential to us in our lives, but were apart with us in our journey, you will understand them through the long journey.

And there is a maze in every single floor, maybe !

Well it all happened in Sarah's 16th Birthday after the celebration we all thought to go to the park at midnight well at that time we all got kidnapped and this is how over story started...

When I opened my eyes I saw myself in a cell and felt that I was injected with something into my neck and after feeling what it was I felt it was a navigator and didn't see any of my friends nearby. Then I knocked at the door of the cell asking for help, then suddenly the door just slid open and I felt like I was in a torture asylum and wished what I had thought couldn't be true because I never expected there was such a thing, and when I got out of my Cell I saw a corridor on my left and right of me and I felt scared, I just gulped and went ahead to my right, as I suddenly I heard George crying out loud for helping, literally crying I felt like laughing and sad about the condition that we had been caught up into.

After I had found him I told him to knock at the door to check whether it will open or not, and well it worked, it opened and he stopped crying and asked me how did I know how it would opened like that, I told him that I just simply knocked on mine and it opened that's how.

And after that I was thinking where could be the others and he asked, "Where could the others be ?"

He asked that to me in a Heroic way, the same guy who was crying in his own cell, after that I got pissed upon his attitude I felt at that time was the first time when I felt it was a big mistake in considering him as my boyfriend. And then it was up to us two to find the others and get together.

And later to be honest, we didn't take even a step after deciding what to do, because we heard a scream across the corridor, when George heard that he just jumped into my hands but I couldn't carry him so he fell off my hands. After a minute we both decided to move forward and find our friends. After a while, George and I came across my Cell and I felt that we were in a maze, that is a Torture Asylum and after walking a little more we came across George's Cell and He also felt shocked and afraid too about it.

After a little time, I noticed George's Neck, that there was a navigator like mine on his too and that he hasn't even noticed it was there and neither did I tell him about it.

At that time, the thing in our neck just beeped and someone started talking to us and asked,"Are you afraid and have you been asking yourselves why are you even here ? Well I am the Overseer of this school of mine... Oh! My Apologies, I am your Principal of the school and you are my new students and the school is huge that it will take you a lot of time to find your way out of it. You can tell this is a maze, Basically. Don't worry, you will find yourselves through this, as you will meet up yourselves through some teachers and the rest of the students too".

And then he started to laugh. I told him that why did he bring us here to a Torture asylum and call it a school. After saying that he didn't speak as he just cut it as we heard the beep as the first one. At that time, I realized that my younger brother Allan was also there with us as we got kidnapped.

I felt sad about it and started to Cry at that time, George was there to confront me I felt a bit happy as he was there and He told,"Whatever happens I would not leave your side". But I felt that he might have been kidding about that because I had seen what happened when he was in his cell. And then we moved on to find others.

I didn't understand what the Overseer meant by teachers, and I went on thinking about it as by students he meant my friends,my brother and me.

I told George," Maybe he meant by teachers as the things that are going to kill us ". After hearing that George got shocked and fainted just like that. I felt sad when I saw that. I knew that he has been through a lot already and I know that he won't be able to face through that too. I tried to carry him upon my shoulders and to move on at that time I heard that same scream but closer than before and felt that we were getting closer to where we had to go and then now I got to know that was Hassan's sound.

I slapped George a lot first with an anger towards him and after that with curiosity to know what is ahead. And after a while he woke up and then I told," The scream we heard before was Hassan's voice ". When I told that to him, He just stood and started to run were we heard the screaming. when we went a little we met up with Hassan who was running towards us. And well I felt it a bit weird as I was thinking what was he running from and he told us," Why are you guys just standing here, run ! ". And then we just started to run with him without even thinking of what are we are running from and after a while we stopped to find a hiding spot.

We hid behind a large broken wooden shelf and I asked Hassan," What are we hiding from ? ",He told," I was so Scared after the cell that I just opened after I knocked on it ".

I just got pissed on his action but George just hugged him and said he would do the same thing if he was alone.

George asked me," Why aren't you scared ? "

I told," It is just because I am responsible as Allan was there with us when we were kidnapped here ! "

At that moment they kept quiet and stood brave by my side.

At that point of time the tiny device in our neck just beeped again and started to speak saying," Finally there are three of you and I would like to reveal something to you, The Teachers that I told are not friendly and approachable attitude but would try to kill you, you should find a way to get away from them or try to kill them. Oh! I almost forgot those creature are called Haveks they are basically like zombie but I hate calling your teachers like that ".

Well I didn't ask him anything because the last time I asked him something he just ignored it and beeped off. This time he also beeped off. So as I said, I didn't talk.

After that we went on to find the others and to check whether Allan is also a part of this mess. George and Hassan were talking about how they enjoyed their life and what would they do here and so,

I just intervened and said," Why do you talk like as if the world is over or as if we don't have any hope to get through this or so, I will tell you one thing I am ready to go through this alone even if I have to because I am...I am just too tensed and afraid whether Allan is alright or not because I am not ready to lose him too ".

After telling that I just felt to Cry on my knees, on what I was going through that moment.

George showed me his hand and said," I will be there for you ", and hugged and smooched me to make me feel better.

After going through the long corridor, we came in front of another cell and saw Sarah in it, but Hassan was looking at something else and said quietly shivering,"Guys! didn't the guy who talked to us through the device in the neck say that we are not alone right, Well then I feel that this is that Havek thing ! "

When we turned to what he was looking at we saw a creature that was facing towards us and coming so slowly I understood it didn't have any eyes. It's body shape was as a human but the head of it looked like a human skull without holes where the eyes should be seen and the teeth of it were full of Canines and had hearing senses but no nostrils with its intestine visible in the front and looked a lot scarier and felt like crying but we all had to keep quiet at that time by covering our mouths with hands-on. It slowly reached us stopped Infront of me, tears just started to fall out my eyes but I had to control it.

After a while a moment it heard a sound ahead because Hassan threw a rock ahead of it and then it started running where we had come from. And then after a while we all started to talk quietly to each other.

After a while as we were waiting for Sarah to wake up, we heard her asking," Where am I ? "

I looked at her, crying and told," We all were kidnapped here and it looks like the person who brought us here wants us to either survive or dead. And...and I don't know what we are going through right now. I should also be looking for Allan as he was also there with us at that time and... "

George just held his hand on my mouth and said," Enough she gets it ! ". And He started to Cry too.

Sarah asked," How do i get out of here ? "

I told her to knock at the door. And then it opened again. Sarah held on to my hands and told me not to worry about Allan. I get it why she told that as he was clever at any situation and would find a way through this. But I was worried whether he had got into any Haveks or not as Sarah hadn't seen one. If she had seen one then she would fainted too already right now. I told her about the creature but then she thought I was joking then so I didn't keep telling about it to her anymore.

Right behind us we just heard a gunshot and started to get frightened and stopped there for a moment and looked back as we heard footsteps coming towards us, as we saw a kid ahead then, at first I thought of Allan and moved first slowly and when I could see him clearly I just ran towards him and hugged him saying," I missed you ! "

Allan told," Me too ! ", but after a while he showed me a gun and I just got scared and asked what happened. After that I heard what he had gone through to reach here...

Allan told that he was not alone in his cell. He said," As he woke up, he saw two Adults with Guns with them and were hiding inside the Cell. When I was about to ask them where am I they showed me a gesture to shut my mouth. So I did what they told me to do. At that moment a creepy creature with no eyes was moving past us but it had ear holes and shaped like a human with its intestine visible Infront of it and one of them started to slowly point the gun in aiming at its intestine and just shot it as it died. But after a while I heard a wierd scream from afar and we got to know that were the rest of those creatures. And then one of those two adult just gave me a pistol and told me to get away from here and stay somewhere safe. After that I just started to run till I saw the same creature again and then kept quiet and stood still. After a while I thought about the adult who shot at and thought why don't I try it. So I slowly pointed the gun at its intestine and shot. After that it died but I flew on the opposite direction due to the power of the shot from the gun. And then I reached here "

After hearing that I told," Allan you have already been through a lot more than us and can't believe you survived through and I was in a doubt whether you are here or you have been left alone or not ".

After a while we heard a roar from the direction that Allan had come from and I told Allan," Those creatures are called Haveks and does not stand a chance against us if we use our mind ".

Then Hassan toke the pistol and told that it was a semi-auto pistol and triggered it towards the direction we heard the noice from...

After a while when he was pointing the gun we heard someone say,"Come on faster !".

After hearing that we just ran facing our opposite direction to get away from what they were getting away from.

Suddenly the device in our neck just beeped again and that same person started to speak and told,"I am impressed of the little kid as he is the first one of you to kill one of my Haveks. To be honest Haveks are nothing compared to the rest of my creatures whom you are left to see. But don't worry about them seeing as they can't see and..."

As he was about to continue I had stop him and ask him,"Why us and what do you need us to prove to you that we are here because I don't get it why in the world are we here".

Well this was the first ever time he ever heard me and gave me an answer for it that I didn't like.

The Overseer said,"I get it why in the world are you suffering for nothing well I would say it is for my satisfaction and Even if you get through my school you all will have to go through my examinations in which no one have survived" And he just started to laugh in an evil way.

After hearing that Hassan was pissed and told,"You are a Fucking Bitch who thinks looking upon other bitches are cool, what a Fucking loser are you bastard ".

The Overseer told," Anyway I was not done, ahead you will see many Haveks that you wish you had never seen but... With the Haveks there will be another amazing creature of mine I call it The Dent and You will wish that you shouldn't have come across it and learn to respect it's creator because I will bet you that one of you are going to die in there ".

And then He just beeped off. I felt happy as finding some of my friends and my brother and sad about hearing about his next creature that he had warned us about and he calls it the "Dent".

As we went on I always kept on thinking about how in the world did we get trapped in here even about the Overseer and his monsters and also whether I was having a nightmare that I wished had sooner than later because I am literally scared right now that I felt like slapping myself a hundred times hard to check whether I was having a nightmare or not.

When I slapped once on myself, Allan told," Alexa, it is not a dream and I have already tried that way on myself ".

I was embarrassed when Allan, my younger brother told that to me. We all went on while I was thinking about the creature and felt it might creep us. And finally after walking past the long corridor we came to a large hall which was decorated completely luxuriously and felt it would be fine in here as it felt empty.

Suddenly an adult came through the long corridor which we had come from and told," Kids take cover because it is not going to be safe here for any longer now ! ".

He went to where a shelf of books and was trying to pick a book out of the many till he picked one out of them which opened a secret room in which guns were kept in it and He took a lot of them. While He went to pick guns Hassan went as well to pick for himself and then picked for himself and introduced to us saying it was a Vector and also told us what gun the other guy took saying it was a AR-15.

I asked Hassan," How do you know a lot about guns ? "

Hassan replied," I was a soldier..... in COD "

I asked Hassan that Whether he knows how to handle the gun and He replied," If Allan killed a creature so can I too ! ".

Meanwhile We heard sounds of the creature snarling from afar towards us. So we all went to take guns. Hassan told us to take AK-47 as I know what it is.

We took and hid behind different spots to take cover. I hid behind the shelf of books with the gun and we all kept quiet so that the creatures can't hear us and then started to take aim slowly at it till Hassan shot the first one down. Then rest of it ran towards the direction of Hassan till the stranger shot the one which was the closest to Hassan and the creatures were on to him as we all also helped him to take the other creatures out by aiming and shooting at it so we don't miss hit anyone else.

When we all felt it was over then one of those creatures just woke up and screeching on top of its lungs at that point Allan just shot it with balance this time because he this time didn't fall on to the ground after the shot and that to

single handedly.

The stranger went towards Allan and asked his name and Allan told his name. After that, the stranger said," My name is James, You are such a brave kid, at a young age stood alone to fight against all the odds to stay alive ".

James gave Allan the AR-15 and told," Use it carefully, if it is out off bullets then remove the reinforcer out and find a new one exactly like this and then it is reloaded ".

James was teaching Allan how to use the gun but we all were learning from it too, As we were Amateur ourselves.

Well I felt it was inappropriate for teaching the contents to Allan because he was just 14 and is too young to understand that. But was the bravest among us too. Also I was wrong that he would not understand the mechanism of it because he learnt it really faster than we ever thought about him.

After we all started to get a hang of these guns we saw an elevator in which we saw that we were in the top most floor and that was 66th floor.

After seeing that James told," Kids no more kidding around because you are not going to have a lot of fun time. It is going to be a hell of a ride now. But I am going to have a lot of fun ".

Allan asked James," Where is the other guy who was with you ? ".

James told," He sacrificed his life to help us but now it was all in vain because that was just the 1st wave and there is more of that wherever it came from ".

When I saw James's neck I didn't see the device on his neck but and I asked him that whether there was a device attached to him before.

James told," Oh ! the device that is on your neck. No, it was not there for me but I and my friend were kidnapped just like you guys till here ".

Suddenly the elevator stopped and the device beeped and The Oveseer said," I am Sorry, I can't let my students leave the school off so fast even without meeting all of their teachers who are just as excited as you James to meet all of you ".

And then he continued," So, the elevator will only go floor-by-floor and you will have to explore it. Oh ! and here is the interesting part after Teachers and Students meeting the elevator will have only one go, upon the time I set. Then enjoy your trip on exploring the school because it is going to be a once in a life time experience ! ".

James told us," Get Ready Because that guy just made our survival a bit more bumpy and wants us to give him a fight that he should like, Well but he won't like it because we will be going to kick his *** ".

And finally the elevator door opened up and we all kept quiet and moved out slowly out off the elevator. After we all got out of it closed and then James tried to click the button that operates the elevator door to open and it didn't open. We went ahead and saw two paths Infront of us and were not sure of which route to go ahead but I was determined to move on ahead wherever James goes because he was experienced with using guns with us.

James told," I will be going to the right side of us and I want you all to stick together with each other and see that nothing happens to you all, Okay ! ".

Hassan was the fastest to responding quietly saying," Yes sir ".

And moved on waving over hands to him as a way of saying bye to him when he going to the right side path beside us, while we were going to the opposite side.

We were on our route without James and we all expected to see or hear nothing ahead upon our path, but it had not gone as what we had expected as we had heard some screechings and groanings ahead, so moved quietly ahead, we came across a big hall in which there a lot of those creatures of the Overseer and on top of the hall there were 5 cylindrical cages, in which Diana, Benjamin, Andrew, John and Xavier were in.

They had already woken up and were screaming on top of their lungs for help, looking at that I felt that the Overseer just won't let us get through this easily, but wants us to be tortured to the maximum, so basically I found out that he was a psychopath.

When I turned my to my head to my side I saw James and understood that both the paths leads to the same direction.

After a while, a woman came out of nowhere to shoot down the biggest creature down with a Rocket Launcher, well the creature that she had takendown was the Dent, that the Overseer was talking about.

James said," There goes the thing that he had told us about, Well that was not that hard at all, and didn't go the way he wanted it to ".

The woman who shot down was walking towards us and moved towards James and kissed him like that, after that James told," I missed you, Rebecca ! ".

Rebecca said," Me too, but you made yourselves some young friends while I couldn't find any ".

I had to stop them for talking anymore because I wanted the rest of my friends to be rescued from the cage on top of the hall and told," I am sorry but we need your two help to get our friends out of that cages ".

Rebecca replied," You are a good hearted person for your friends aren't you, Okay ! I am ready to help them but what do we do to get them out of there, Huh ? ".

Suddenly the device beeped and the Overseer started to talk again saying," Oh ! You do know that, I own this place because I am your Principal, But who cares right, still I will give you a clue for saving the rest of your friends but sadly there might be a setback or can I say, there should be a sacrifice for it, as you can see that all the cages are connected to the post on the centre the polls that are connected on to them, the only way to save them is to get to the lever on top of the post and pull it down, so the cages could move down but that person who pulls the lever will be stuck over there struggling to get out off there, so choose wisely on whom to risk ".

Rebecca looked so pissed that she took Hassan's gun and concentrated to shoot directly at the lever, and then she shot right at the lever, that cages started to move down on what conditions that the Overseer had given, that had failed twice when she was also part of the equation.

The Overseer continued saying," Well Done, without even sacrificing anyone of you that you had passed my first test ".

Rebecca replied,"Stop Fucking with our lives, Bastard !"

The Overseer told," I am not Fucking with your lives just because it is yours but also because it is mine when you are in my school and every Teachers over here will really mind and deal with you nicely, Oh ! I almost forgot that step up five minutes as the time when the elevator is permanently closed, and moves to the next floor, and more teachers comes into this hall again better get on it ".

And just beeped off again, We all this time were pissed and wanted to show him the consequences on messing with us.

But we also knew what we all were going through too, So broke all of our friends and we've got only a minute when the elevator would close, so we all ran as fast as we could to reach and did reach there with ten seconds to spare, As we all were panting on our way.

And then the elevator door closed and the 65th floor was of to the 64th floor, but we already feel that we had gone through hell to reach here, but our journey still continues...
