COMPROMISE

Nobody was in the room it look like a perfectly normal room.this made Anika scared cuz Isabella was meant to be here, she was always in her room and here it was a strangely neat and arranged room.

Anika pointed the flashlight towards the bathroom and Lisa followed. They searched everywhere but couldn't find any clue.

"Where can the door or passage to the secret room be located?" Lisa asked.

"Anika?"

Anika was busy knocking the walls.

"Anika what are you doing?"

"If there is really a passage to this secret room, a door should be somewhere...yes, here."

She began to remove the tiles with the help of Lisa. When they were done, they saw a door. The door looked like it was made out of old wood. Anika opened it and saw some stairs leading down and she began to go down the stairs. Lisa was reluctant to go at first, so Anika took her by hand.

Mark was still trying to trace them. He got to find out the house they stayed the previous night. It really got him pissed off that he couldn't find them but he got into his car and continued to search.

Rebecca and Daniel were still waiting downstairs for them and at every little noise they would jump at alert. Rebecca would always never believe a day like this would come, she could actually get her revenge.

It was right there, right in the middle of the room, but it was so beautiful. Anika and Lisa were facing the knife, Anika carefully walked towards the knife while Lisa looked at the surroundings. The whole life of the dog was in paintings on the wall but there was a space on one of the walls, Lisa guessed it may be for the rest of it's life story. Anika grabbed the knife then she and Lisa headed back up the stairs. Getting into the room, it was different. There was now blood on the walls but the blood was used to write names. It wrote a list of names including Anika's parents, Anika, Daniel, Isabella, Rebecca, the agent, Edwin and at the very bottom wrote in bold letters, 'THE WORLD.' They heard Isabella laugh and turned to see Isabella and the person next to her was tied to a chair. Anika was trying to make out who it was.

"Oh pardon my manners Anika. Poor loverboy here dropped by to see you," she began to laugh again.

"Don't you dare touch him," Anika said violently stepping forward but Lisa drew her back.

"Like I care, I've been trying to find that knife but now you helped me find MY knife, I want it."

"We can't give it," Lisa answered. Isabella began to tighten her hand into a ball, somehow making Sean begin to choke.

"What's it going to be, the knife or his life? I know you're a smart girl Anika."

Anika was confused, petrified, she didn't want him to die.

"Tick-tock says the clock, your time's almost up," she began to tighten her hands the more.

"Take the knife!"

Isabella took the knife from her and began to try to destroy it.

"Ugh, I forgot, it's indestructible."

Anika began to shake Sean but he wasn't responding.

"What did you do to him?" Anika asked.

"He's been dead ever since, what a waste though. He wasn't even on my list but yet it was fun killing him. I just needed you to give me the knife."

"Impossible."

"Oh sweetie, everything's made possible."
