|EUGENE|

Terrence was getting on my nerves. Who was he to judge me?! I was grieving too but What. The. Hell?! "Let's get out of here." Terrence said in a causal confident style. But I could tell behind it was anger. Anger towards what I don't know. Terrence reached the door and turned the knob. But for some reason it wouldn't open. He kept Turning and soon enough he got frustrated. "Great. We're stuck in here." A giggle filled the room. We turned our heads towards the sound. "Luna?" Another giggle. "Luna!" Evelyn shot up from Airi's grasp and ran towards the sound. "Evelyn! Wait! We don't know if that's Luna!" They ran and soon we followed. "Tanner.." another giggle. "Evelyn? Eugeneee!" She sounded confused with Evelyns name but with mine it sounded playful. I smiled. Was she not mad at me anymore?! I picked up speed. "Eugene? Eugeneeee. Eugene." She laughed. "Tannerrrr, Tan Tannn, Tanner!" I heard footsteps while we reached a door. Airi was struggling to get it open. "It's stuck!" "Move." I nudged her shoulder and tried opening the door to no avale. Once the guys were on board, we worked together to open the jammed door. "Tanner!" We heard more footsteps and soon saw two people standing in front of a window. The woman, supposedly Luma, hugging the man. Tanner. Another happy laugh came out of her mouth and they watched the outside view. "HEY! YOU-!" A loud mechanical sound rang and a light flashed in front of us. Revealing that the people were just two mannequins.  "Aw.. You really thought that was her?" We looked to the side railing to find Tanner. He snickered and walked to the female mannequin. Putting a hand on her head. "Too Tall... but It's not like you would know the difference. In fact you wouldn't even care to know." Tanner took his hand off the mannequins head and flicked it making the surprisingly easy to break head fall from the railing to the floor we were on. Rolling to my feet.

I stared at it as my voice croaked. "Where is she?" ... "You don't have to worry about that." He wore a cocky smile as he sat on the railing. "Let's begin with some questions. You seem confused so it would be rude to not answer at least 3 of your questions." He put his hands up, one on his heart and one in the air. "And don't worry, I'll tell the truth." We turned to to huddle as we scowled at him, well.. everyone bedsides Terrence. Weirdly enough Terrence looked the same. Like they were best buds or something. "What should we ask?" "We have to be carful, we only have 3." We brainstormed and decided to ask about the elephant in the room. "Where's Luna? And is she ok?" "That's two, but since I'm so generous I'll treat it as one." He cleared his throat. "She's currently in a lodge, where we just got back from a nice picnic date. Right now she should be asleep but I suppose there's no harm in checking in." Tanner took his phone out and opened an app. Only to have his eyes widen with a sinister smile. "Well.. that was certainly unexpected." "What? Is she hurt?!" Airi yelled. Tanner shook his head. "No.. but she has a long night ahead of her." He put the phone back in his pocket. "I'm sorry, but it seems I have to be going now. I have a lot of hours to fill and I don't want them to be rushed." He smiled one last time as we all yelled at him to stay and answer more questions. "YOU SAID WE HAD THREE! YOU ONLY ANSWERED ONE!" "See you all later." We kept screaming but with a slam of a door he left leaving us frustrated. "WELL?! SHI-!"

Flump.

We all looked behind us to find Daniel on the floor. With a dart sticking out of his neck. "D-Danie-?" Flump. Another one. Evelyn. We all panicked. Xavier holding Airi, me trying to hide, Terrence.. calm? I furrowed my brows but soon I felt a sting and fell to the ground.

~TIME SKIP~

My eyes slowly opened. Focusing in on a dark room with my arms strained to a chair. I turned my head to see there wasn't anyone there. Not Doc, not my brothers, hell not even Tanner. "Thank you! Ladies and gentlemen for your patience.. as you see we managed to capture Eugene Ballon for tonight's entertainment and are excited to finally give him what he's owed. But the question remains.. what punishment does he deserve? And what pleasure are you insured?" My eyes watered and I started screaming through the cloth in my mouth. Acting as a gag. But abruptly stopped with a hard smack on the back of my head. "Hush, Now Eugene! It's not polite to scream in front of guests." I kept crying at the thought of me dying like this but as I sat there I realized I was in front of a glass wall. It had a grey tint behind it but through it I could see a bed, torture devices, and a big door leading in. I got confused, was I gonna watch something? "Oh, I see you found interest in tonight's game. How exciting, but I'm sad to say we have pre party decorations to get to." I furrowed my brows and looked over to find him with two knives. I screamed but that didn't stop from the knives entering my skin. Deep into my thighs.
