Todd waited for the rest of the frozen kids by the park. Roger and Austin said to meet him there, and one by one they all came to the park.

“Glad to see we're all here.” Said Roger, hands buried deep into his pockets.

“What are we doing here? Couldn't we just wait for our deaths?” Asked Nick, another one of the frozen kids.

Everyone looked at him, how could Nick give up so easily? How could he just want to wait for his death to come? Why doesn't he at least want to fight back?

“We need to complete the game, only then will we be truly free,” Austin said, drawing the attention back to him instead.
Todd nodded understandably, he just didn't know how.

“But Pamela…”

“Must be saved so that she can finish the game.” Roger interrupted Todd, and a discouraged smile came across his face.

“We don't know where she is,” Todd said what was on his mind, and was surprised that Austin and Roger were smiling as if they found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

“Art room.” They said together.

*****

The frozen kids had an idea, they were going to ring the door's bell and demand that Mr Aldin give back their freedom and friends, while Austin, Roger, and Todd sneaked in through the back door.

The mansion was cold and dark and there was no life there.
They could hear the kids complaining, louder and louder, as they made their way up to the top floor, and the art room.

They pushed the doors open and were taken aback by the strong stench that lingered in the air.
Their eyes saw all sorts of art, the rock art which is Philip, the frozen statue which is Blair, the wax doll which is Lacey and the portrait of Pam looking happy and peaceful.

There was other art too, and each piece was sickening and disturbing.

“How do we get them free?” Todd asked, standing before the wax doll of his sister, tears started to swell up in his eyes again.

“I don't know,” Roger said and pushed the ice statue over. It fell to the ground with a loud thud, and slowly started cracking open until Blair gasped for air and sat upright as soon as she could.

She was shivering, and she was still very wet from the ice. She sat there trembling.

“Blair! Are you okay?” Austin asked and gave her his hoodie, she quickly put it on, to at least try to stop some cold.

“I… I… I'm f… F… Fine.” She said, stuttering her way through.

“Blair, do you know how to free the others?” That was all that Todd wanted to know.

“J… J… Just… B… B… Break them free… L… L… Like you did me.” She said he scanned the room for anything sharp, and since it was Mr Aldin's art room, knives were laying on a tray on a nearby table.
He retrieved it and started cutting through the layer of wax to get to his sister's body.

She also gasped for air once she was free, and wrapped her arms around Todd.

They wept, holding each other. Todd didn't think he'd ever see her again and sure was happy to see her.

“Todd… I missed you.” She said, hearing her voice made him happy, and he chuckled, he was happy.

“How do we set these two free?” Asked Roger, speaking about the two portraits that couldn't be cut through.

“Go inside the painting.” She replied, they exchanged looks.

“Inside a wall?” They asked.

“It's magic… Just take a step inside, " she explained, they looked at each other again.

“Okay… I'll go for Philip,” said Austin and walked up to the rock art. Philip's old blood against the rock stank, he pinched his nose and reached out his one hand, trying to enter it into the rock.

He was surprised to see his hand going inside the rock. They all were and spoke together in awe.

Once his hand was in, he popped his head through and then his whole body.

Once inside, he regretted not entering with a torch or something to shed light. It was all black, and he couldn't see a single thing. Causing him to stumble and fall over some things, which hurt since he landed on some sharp rocks.

He took slow steps and was relieved to see a blue glowing light.

Like any sane person, he made his way towards the light and saw Philip weeping, sitting underneath the light. It looked like there was a hole on top of the light, that's what was shedding the light in the first place.

“Philip… Are you okay?” He asked, Philip held tightly onto his hand, it was in unbearable pain. He slowly lifted his head to look at Austin.

“No.” He said in a scratchy morning voice and cleared his throat. “No," he said stronger.

Seeing Philip in this state upset Austin, it was a sad sight.

“I came to take you to the real world.” He said. Philip tried smiling, but it hurt.

“I can't get up, I've been beating with a rock, my body is still aching.” He spoke slowly because every movement was painful.

Austin made his way over to Philip and gently picked him up. Although they moved very slowly, they made it out of that rock, and the moment he came out of the rock the pain was gone.

Both Lacey, Blair and the others were in a better state.

“Okay Roger, he's out. Go fetch Pam and let's finish this game.” Said Kim.
