Chapter 3 - Finding the keys

"Five keys are needed for the door to unlock,

But scattered they are, like hands on a clock.

To escape the tale and end your stay,

Gather the others and start to play.

Time is fleeting, don't let it slip,

Find the three, or you'll lose your grip."

"Now what the heck is this supposed to mean!?"Jane said."it's obviously a riddle". annoyed Jane told cyndi "yeah I can see that""so why ask?""you know what lets forget it we are stuck here and trying to pick a fight""If you dont want to pick a fight dont ask obvious questions?"*sigh*"Mrs.cyndi I'm so so sorry that I asked please forgive me""apology accepted""thank you"as they were fighting the golden letters that appeared in the air suddenly disappeared. Cyndi and Jane were fighting and didn't notice the letters disappearing by the time they noticed it was already to late.

"Dude what the hell,you asked that stupid question and now the riddle that appeared in thin air disappeared.""I said I was sorry""your sorry changes nothing *sigh* do you at least know what was written on there""yeah yeah it was about a door opening with five keys and they are scattered and we need to find them to get out but the time in our hand is running out""huh? I think it's telling us to find five keys to open the door that leads us to the outside of this book"" I don't think it's really talking about kyes I think its talking out 3 people cuz it said 'gather the others' that must mean that there are other people around use that we need to find""your right" as Cyndi said that she saw a 3 over Jane's head.

"Jane what is that over your head""huh?what?""there is a 3 over you head""really!?""yeah..I think it's part of the riddle and the riddle told us to find 3 people""yeah you must be right""I know I'm a genius" when Cyndi said that Jane playfully slapped Cyndi on the back of her head then a 3 appeared over Cyndis head to.

"You..you have a 3 on you head too.""huh? Really?""yeah,that means really need to find 3 people" as they both nodded their head they realised that it was getting dark in the forest.

"Umm..don't..don't you think this place is getting to da..dark" Jane told cyndi."ye..yeah" cyndi now scared of the darkness suggested to Jane "Jane forgive me for earlier..hehe..at times like this friends should stick together you know""Now that your scared your telling me all this,I'm leaving.Bye" as Jane started to leave cyndi scared shouted"you don't know what might be in that deep forest.we should be together at all times"Jane while turning around said "yeah,yeah" then jane was frozen for a moment.so,cyndi said"what?now your scared standing there alone""ye...yeah but I'm not scared for myself I..I am scared for you""what?why are you scared for me all of a sudden?""cyndi what ever you do don't turn around""why are you trying to scare me or something?" As Cyndi said those words she turned around and saw that a 10 feet long snake was above her looking at her with it's Sharp eyes as if it was about to inhale her whole.before cyndi even could do something the snake ate her whole at that moment jane mumbled ' I told you not to move' now the snake was looking at her too.

Jane was in shock and she thought now that her was eaten she was dead and that will never come back and that she might be in the real world as Jane was thinking all these things Cyndi appeared from thin air and grabbed Jane's hand and said'run..Jane before it eats you too run' before Jane could process it she was dragged by Cyndi with her they kept running but the snake being too big it was catching up with them.

As they kept running the in the never ending forest another golden line popped up of nowhere it read

"In shadows deep, you're not alone,

A name can save, a name well-known.

To escape the peril, a friend you must seek,

A voice of strength, though it may seem meek.

His name is hidden, but here's a spark:

The one you need is called... 'Mark.'"

"Read it before it disappears' Jane exclaimed.Cydni said ''the book really wants to kill us both we are trying to save our lives how can we run and read it"" we left the snake really far we don't have to run now" as jane said that she turned her head and saw that the snake wasn't really far so said again"I guess not but read it out loud hurry up ""ok ok it says "In shadows deep, you're not alone,

A name can save, a name well-known.

To escape the peril, a friend you must seek,

A voice of strength, though it may seem meek.

His name is hidden, but here's a spark:

The one you need is called... 'Mark.'"that means we need call some one named mark" jane exclaimed.

"What the hell is this mark gonna do" as Cyndi finished her sentence she was that the snake was inches close from eating them."I don't care I'm calling this mark guy" as she said that started screaming" Mark...Mark...Mark".

Suddenly and swored slashed through the snake and the snake disappeared into thin air. There stood a tall figure staring at cydnis and Jane shocked at what happend. Mark asked "Who are you guys? Where is Kate?how did I get here? Did you something to Kate?" As mark was questioning Jane and cydni. Jane asked mark to step out of the dark and when he did Jane and cydni both exclaimed "Mark " .

Before Jane and cydni could say another word there was another riddle it said

"To call for help, you must be bold,

A name three times, as the tale foretold.

But one named Kate, you cannot forget,

Without her, your goal is not met.

Say her name and say it thrice,

Only then can you break the ice."
