Well

At midnight, Mary sneakily walked out of her house. She was carrying ropes and a flashlight.

She quietly and swiftly ran to the well. She reached the well and opened her flashlight. She looked into the well and thought to herself.

How deep is it? Will my ropes be enough? Let me try throwing a rock in.

She squatted down and used her flashlight. She picked up a rock and threw it in. She heard the sound of water splashing. She knew the well wasn't empty.

Then, she threw the ropes in and tied the end of the rope to a stick near the well.

I hope the stick won't break. It would really suck if it did.

She held onto the rope and began to climb down. Suddenly, she heard a crack and she felt herself falling. Luckily, the well wasn't so deep.

She landed on the water with a splash. Mary yelled"Ouch" and she closed her mouth. It hurts but I shouldn't make so much noise. She rubbed her back using her hands and looked up. How should I get back up there? I should have known it would break.

Mary let out a sigh. Let me try climbing up. She stretched out both her hands and put them on either side of the well. She pulled herself up and put both of her legs on the well's wall.

She began to climb. About halfway, she put her right hand on the wall. She felt her right hand sink into the wall. She heard it make a loud crack and there was a hole.

She lost her balance and fell into the hole. She felt herself, sliding down into darkness.

After a while, she fell on the floor with a loud thud. She fell head first, she yelled "Ouch" again and rubbed her chin.

She pushed her body up and thought. Where am I? I can't see anything. She groped in the darkness, hoping to find something.

Then, she felt something, she took it up and felt a button. She pressed on it and light flashed into her eyes. She dropped the thing on the floor and rubbed her eyes.

She was blinded for a while, then, her vision went back to normal. She looked at the thing. I guess it's a flashlight. Well....that was embarrassing. She crawled and went to get the flashlight.

She stood up and flashed the flashlight around. She couldn't tell where she was. She saw a table in front of her. She walked towards it and saw the table was full of documents.

She looked up on the wall and saw pictures of kids, she didn't know. She looked back down and opened one of the documents.

She saw a picture of a little girl. She saw the little girl's name, age and her family's background. But there was something off about it.

At the corner of the paper, there was no.001 and below the numbers, there were words. It was written in black ink. She took her flashlight closer to the words. She reads out the words spider, chameleon.'

What does it mean?

She ignored it and looked up. She saw the little girl's pictures on the wall but there's a huge X across the picture.

She looked down and flipped the document to the next page. She saw another kid, it was the same-name, age, and family's background. But the numbers were different, it was no.002 and the words were different too.

Mary looked up at the wall again and saw the kid's pictures. There was a huge X across it too. For some reason, she felt worried. She continued flipping through, the pieces of information were all the same. The words and numbers were all different.

Then, she reached the last page. She felt her body become weak. Her body was trembling. She saw her brother's picture on the document. There were numbers,no.100.The words, bird, shark.

She looked up at the wall, there was a picture of her brother but good thing there wasn't a huge X across it.

Mary looked back at her brother's document with a horrified expression. She thought.

Am I too late?
