Andrew had been walking throughout the whole floor for quite a while now and fatigue had started to set in . He needed to stop . He hadn't eaten anything for so long , he was losing his energy at a high rate . Unfortunately , he did not have the time or the luxury to take rest if he wanted to survive the night . He thought in case he can't get out on his own it was better to come up with a contingency plan .

 So he approached the nearest landline very carefully , not wanting to alert Amelia . He dialed Emma's number and gave her a call . The phone rang for quite a while but no one picked up , and it went to voicemail after sometime . Andrew told her to call 911 to his office to get him out . He said he couldn't explain everything on the phone but told her to do as he said . He had just finished when he heard a woman shrieking and screaming in a demonic voice . " Amelia , she found me !" . Andrew ran as fast as he could to the cafeteria , not stopping anywhere in between.

 Once inside , he took a quick look around to see if anyone was close by or not . But Amelia wasn't there for as far as he could see . Breathing a sigh of relief , he started searching for the batteries desperately . He checked everywhere and finally found them in one of the cabinets . But before he could he put them in the flashlight , he heard footsteps approaching his way . He looked behind him and saw Amelia's shadow just on the other end of the corridor . 

Without wasting another moment , he quickly hid in one of the cabinets and was just closing the doors when one of the battery slipped from his hand and rolled away under another cabinet on the other end . Andrew wanted to curse as loud as he could then and there in frustration , but he regained his composure and quietly sat inside the cabinet with his hand covering his mouth to stop the sound of his breathing .

 He could see the woman enter the cafeteria but couldn't see her face . She kept searching desperately for Andrew and came right till his cabinet . She lingered around for a while right outside the cabinet . Andrew had never been more petrified in his entire life than he was right now . All the while he was thinking that somehow just somehow he could survive the night . He knew for a fact that he would never step foot in this building again after this . The woman was gone by now . He waited for sometime before coming out . Once outside , he quickly bent down and retrieved the fallen battery .

 He then put all of the batteries in the flashlight and turned it on . Voila ! the flashlight flickered at first but then was shining brightly in the pitch black darkness the floor was in . Andrew had never felt more relieved and happy ever before . He still didn't know how to use it against her though . Robert had warned him not to look at her directly , so what was he supposed to do now.  "Robert would surely know what to do ." thought Andrew and raced back to his cabin and closed the door . 

He could hear footsteps were approaching the cabin . He frantically searched the cabin for a clue and found another note underneath Robert's desk . It read , "Weaken her with the light Andrew , it'll give you just enough time to escape this place . This is my last advice to you . You're out of time , she comes now . This cabin will no longer hold her back . 

Whatever you do , do it fast my friend . " The footsteps were now right outside the door .Andrew looked at his watch - 3 am . His time was now almost up . Suddenly, someone from the other end started bashing at the door trying to bust it open . Andrew was trapped . He hid underneath Robert's desk but he knew he would not be that lucky this time . And surely enough , the door was soon broken down by the woman . She walked around the whole room , then bent underneath and pulled Andrew out from beneath the desk . 

Andrew had his eyes closed the entire time . He knew better than to look at her . But the woman was now choking him with both hands tightly wrapped around his neck . Darkness started engulfing him . In a desperate attempt , he switched the flashlight on . The woman let out an agonizing cry of pain and took a few steps back . "This voice , I've ... I've heard this before ..... No , no no no , it can't be no way !" thought Andrew as he slowly opened his eyes . 

He was frozen in shock , horror and frustration . Before him , writhing in pain , dressed in tattered clothes , a pale face and bloodshot eyes , he could clearly see the woman's face in the flashlight's bright beam of light . It was the person he cared about the most . Standing before him , was Emma ................
