Day 3 Without Anna I
[I is written in pen.]
I usually write at the end of the day but I wanted to do a little something before I left.
[The following words were written in blocky letters.]
Good Luck Merlis!
[Handwriting back to normal.]
Ok, I'm off.
[Handwriting becomes shake-y.]
Writing while walking is harder than I thought. Trees cover the place and thankfully the sun can still shine a few rays through the leaves but that's probably not going to last long. I re

I found the room but someone's been here before me. There's a piece of paper lying on the ground and it's addressed to me.
"Merlis
I know you won't get it yet but whatever you do, don't let yourself be seen by yourself. If you do, we"
Now this is creepy. Someone knew I was going to be here but what does it mean? How can I see myself? A mirror? Or
[Handwriting is sharp.]
Something is buzzing.
It's getting louder.
There's a white light coming from the center of the room.
[Handwriting becomes sloppy and light.]
It's It's the ring.
