When we got there, we found Lydia and Lora standing in front of a dead janitor, with his blood all over the floor. We moved closer to both of them.
"Lydia, Lora, what are you guys doing here?" I asked.
Lydia was the only one who wasn’t shaking like Lora. She was shaking just like a jelly fish.
"We discovered the janitor's dead body over here while looking for Jack," she explained."And what are you guys also doing here?" she asked.
Me and Josh looked at each other, reasoning about what was going on. "We also received a text message from Jack," I replied.
"Don’t you guys think something is wrong?" Josh asked.
Lydia said, "I feel the same thing, because how can we all get the same message?"
"Maybe someone is trying to get us here," I said.
I walked to Lora, to help her get up from the floor where she was sitting down. I think she had never seen a dead body.
"Lora, it’s okay, I’m here to protect you," I assured her, while I bent down close to her.
She looked up at me slowly while she still kept on shaking. She extended her right hand slowly towards my face. She rubbed my face with her hands. I guess she was trying to confirm that what she was seeing was actually me, or just her imagination.
It’s me, Lora, it’s me Adam, "I said, pointing at myself.
After she had confirmed it was me, I was actually real: "Martin!" She said, "I'm touching myself again." Then she hugged me tightly, and I placed my hand on her back and rubbed it.
She finally came and overcame the fear that gripped her. I brought her up back to her feet gently, and when I was sure she could stand alone, I left her.
Then I turned to the rest. "What do you think we should do now?" I asked.
We began to hear voices and fast footsteps approaching us. It seemed to be the people we knew, so we were not ready to attack them. They stopped a few steps away from us.
"Adam!" Ellie exclaimed.
Lora! " Stephen exclaimed.
"Josh!" Elizabeth exclaimed.
It turns out that we knew each other.
"Stephen!" Lora exclaimed.
"Ellie!" I exclaimed.
"Ellie!" Josh exclaimed.
"No, you got it all wrong. You mentioned the wrong name. It’s Elizabeth you are meant to say," I whispered at him, correcting him.
"Like seriously," he responded, whispering.
"Yeah," I replied.
"Okay, I have heard," he said, "Elizabeth!" He exclaimed.
Lydia and Lora turned to look at him to see if he was normal. He turned back at them when he noticed they had their eyes on him.
"What!" he exclaimed. "I just followed orders, what I was told to do," he said.
While Stephen, Ellie, and Elizabeth began to walk closer to us, they stopped when they were in front of us. I guess Elizabeth got her eyes on the janitor's dead body.
She covered her mouth with her hands; it seemed like she wanted to vomit. This made Stephen and Ellie see the dead janitor.
"What the fuck, what killed him?" Stephen said.
