Sisters Elsa and Lia are on a train and do not remember how they got there.Elsa and Lia were panicking and wanted the train to stop. Elsa tried to pull the emergency button, but it showed no signs of it working. As the train was moving so fast, the sisters were trying to make the train stop. They walk to the back door of the train and try to open it. They can see other people on the other side of the train. Elsa and Lia are happy to see that there not the only ones on the train, so the sisters run up to the door and try to get it open. After a few minutes, Elsa and Lia get on the other side. As they jumped onto the other side of the door, a guy helped them up. He introduced himself as Elias; he woke up on the train without memory. He walked up to Elsa and Lia and asked how they were feeling and if they were okay. Elias then introduced the sisters to the other people on the train. There were three other girls on the train. Elsa and Lia introduced themselves to Elena, Mariah and Kayla. The sisters thought this was a coincidence. Elsa and Lia were like, haven't we seen you someplace before?! Elena, Mariah and Kayla were like, “ I don't think so” Elsa and Lia were like, “ I heard your names somewhere before, but oh well" there were about five girls and one guy on the train. Everyone wanted something, and that something was to get off the train. Elias thought of a plan, thinking of something, and Elsa walked up to him. Elsa talked with Elias for a couple of minutes while Lia talked with the other girls. Everyone thought it was best to think of a plan to stop the train before it crashed into a wall. That obviously would not be pretty. So everyone was on board. The crew split up into two groups, Elias, Elsa and Mariah and then Elena, Lia and Kayla. Everyone was trying to figure out how they got on the train and didn't remember. Elias said, “ I think this is some government doing” Elsa responded with," Wow, you know what, that could be true," Elias responded what about that door over there? There should be a train attendant “ Elsa was like,” let us check it out" Elias and Elsa walked up to the door and tried to open it, but it wasn't working; you needed some code or access card to open it. Elias then said, “ Here, give me your metro pass?” Elsa was like, “ Okay, what will that do" Elias then said it could work, you never know,” So Elias used Elsa's card to swipe the door to unlock. After swiping and jiggling it a bit, the door hatched opened. Elias yelled at the other group to take a look. The girls, Elena, Kayla and Lia, ran up to Elsa and Elias and met them at the door; after the group got together, one of them had to go inside, so Elias volunteered. The girls were like, “ Be careful,” so Elias walked into the room and saw that nobody was operating the train, and all these buttons were green, showing that the train was moving still and had no way of stopping it. then suddenty Elias found a piece of the note attached to the buttons it said “ Welcome to to the tunnel clues if you are reading this you must have found the door, and now as the train goes through the tunnel you must find a way to stop it, good luck" Elias was like" What kind of sick game is this?" the girls were like “ Yeah, someone is up to something” Elias" I guess will find the clues somewhere on the train" the group try to find clues on the train. The girl's search on one side of the train, and Elias search on the other. Nobody likes that this is happening. everyone thinks this is an experiment, but they want to get off the train as soon as possible. They noticed the green buttons in that room; if they find the clues, the green colours can change to red, and the train will finally stop. So as Elias was walking down the train hall, he noticed something on his right side. it was, of course, a chair, but he noticed something under the train seat.Elias told the girls to come here. The girls were amazed to see something, but the train was still moving; how could they open what was under the seat. Elias asked one of the girls, Lia, to use her bobby pin to unlock what was under the train seat. Elias thinks something big is in there, the girls thought it could be a first aid kit, but it was something else, something big. Elias reached his hand in it and pulled out a box, and inside the box was a key; The note said, “ if you were reading this you have found the key, now there are two wholes if the key fits in one of the wholes, the train will stop and if the key doesn't fit the train will crash. Elias yells some words, and the ladies think this is a nasty and cruel game. So the group panicked and tried to figure out which part this key fit into. The ladies thought there was one key and spot; if we put it into the wrong spot, the train would crash. Elias says," there has to be something else; which spot does it go into" The group runs over to the little train room, and they see two spots the key can fit into. The group decided to flip a coin, so Elias and Elsa flipped a coin. If its heads, it's slot A; if its tails, it's slot B. So the group flipped the coin, and it landed on slot b. So Elsa grabbed the key from Elias and pushed it into slot B. Everyone was quenching their eyes and closing them. The train started making this big noise, everyone thought it was going to crash because the lights were not turning red, and then all of a sudden, they saw the light at the end of the tunnel, and then the lights turned red, and the train stopped.
