"Step three..." Morghan shifted her eyes quickly, "...Turn off all the lights in the house and stand at the front door. The door must be wooden," She read out. They split up and each turned off every light in the house, unplugged everything that would make a light, and closed the curtains, "...What next?" Kate asked. "Step four, place the piece of paper in front of the door. Light the candle and place it on top of the piece of paper," Morghan said. They each placed the piece of paper in front of the door and lit all five of the candles, placing them on their papers. "...What time is it?" Morghan asked. Damien looked down at his watch, "11:40," He said. "M'kay. In twenty minutes we will begin the game, but for now I will read out the last few things," She said. "Go ahead," Ellie nodded. "We must walk around the house in the dark with the lit candle in our hands. The goal is to avoid the Midnight Man at all costs until exactly 3:33 AM... If your candle goes out, it means the Midnight Man is near you. You have to relight the candle within the next ten seconds or the Midnight Man WILL get you. The candle is your only protection... If you are able to relight the candle within this time, you can continue moving around the house, avoiding the Midnight Man. If you are not able to relight the candle fast enough, you must immediately surround yourself with a circle of salt. You must remain within the circle of salt until 3:33 AM. The salt is your last line of defense. Do not step outside the circle of salt or the Midnight Man will get you. If you make it to 3:33 AM without being trapped within the circle of salt, it means you have won the Midnight Game. Whatever happens, the Midnight Man will leave at 3:33 AM and, if you are still alive, it is safe to go to sleep. If you spend the entire game staying in the one spot, this will only result in the Midnight Man finding you. It is HIGHLY advised that you keep moving throughout the game. Signs that the Midnight Man is nearby would be the following. One, your candle will blow out. Two, you will suddenly feel extremely cold. Three, you will hear a low whisper. Four, you will see the shadowy figure of a man in the darkness. Now it's time for the rules of The Midnight Game. Do not turn on any lights during the Midnight Game. Do not use a flashlight during the Midnight Game. Do NOT fall asleep during the Midnight Game. Do NOT use another person's blood on the paper that bears your name. Do not try to use a lighter instead of a candle. It will not work. DO NOT attempt to provoke or anger the Midnight Man in ANY WAY. It must be exactly 12:00 AM when you begin performing the ritual, otherwise it will not work.... That's about it. Now, what time is it?" Morghan asked.
