](Authors Note: Molly hasn't written for a while and although we were planning on her writing this chapter, shes on vacation. So please don't mind the delay. She will be back soon.)
I had made it, even though the witch had led me here, I had made it. I had to find the ladders. So I started walking. I started moving left, walking quickly and quickly. I wanted to get to the enterence without stopping or revealing myself. I walked in such a way, that I had to think about every step.
I was still suffering from hunger, thirst, and exhaustion. I needed a kit kat bar and some Dr. Pepper basically. I was out of it. I mean, yeah, I was walking across the Retreat with ease suprisingly but it wouldn't last, eventually I would run out of energy. I would have to pace myself if I was going to get to where I was going. I mean, I had a really bad feeling I had a walk.
I looked at the wall, full of interest of what secrets it held within it. I had heard Molly talk about how the Masks were a terrible group of people, and from what I had seen, it was terrible. But what other secrets had it had. I mean, every thorn protects something beautiful. What were the roses of the Society of Masks? There had to be some. I just had to exploit them.
I finally found a ladder. I had thought about the Society of Masks the whole way. It had been a two hour walk. I had finally found my way though. From here on, the journey to find Molly would be a sinch.
I climbed the ladder, looking for any signs of life up top. A guard, maybe a video camera hidden, something that would give me away. The whole way up there was none. I looked for the ladder to go down and instantly found it. I was hoping the safety going up would be repeated going down. But with my luck, probably not. I looked down the ladder, scared of what I would see. Supprisingly nothing. Just some eerie buildings. Even during the day everything was dark. It was disturbingly dark and discreet. Nobody was outside at all, not even patroll. I was actually a little scared.
I got down to the ground, looking for anybody. But nobody was outside. From what I could see, nothing was outside. The buildings surrounding me were destroyed, mashed to crumbles. I then looked at the pathway in front of me. It almost looked like a road actually. I decided to walk it. The whole way I could see destruction and chaos. I looked towards a building that was actually in tact. Opening the door, there was nothing inside. I saw a shelf, and a long hallway that led into two doors. I walked down too the doors and went right. Inside the door was a body, or actually more like a skeleton. It had died a long time ago.
I closed the door and went into the one on the left where I found a bathroom with a skeleton in the bath tub. Everything was like a nuke had went off, (Trust me... That was one of the dreams I lived over and over again.) and a big one at that. I also found a huge sink. I tested it, to see if I could have my first drink of water for days. It worked, and I drank. Looks like my lucks changing.
I walked outside, a little water-logged from all of the water I had drank, considering how hungery I was. I then continued down the road. From all I could see, everything was rubble, ashes, and dead bodies as I saw skeletons scattered across the road. I walked and walked and walked. I saw nothing else in tact at all. Everything was dead, ghostly, baren. Nothing was left. Where was Molly, her captor, the surgery where they placed the masks? I couldn't see any operations I saw when I was there the first time. I looked, and nothing was there. All the evidence of the Masks, or Molly being here, was gone.
