Escape The Night S4 - A Fanfiction story by tqylorsdress

Prologue

It started with an invitation to dinner.

"To my esteemed friends. I invite you all to attend a dinner party."

Shane Dawson, Andrea Brooks, Justine Ezarik, Glozell Green, Sierra Furtado, Matt Haag, Timothy Delaghetto, Lele Pons, Eva Gutowski, Oli White and Joey Graceffa all sat around a big dinner table, talking and laughing with each other.

But the conversations were cut short, as Shane started spewing and coughing up blood. His friends start screaming in shock around him.

We cut to later on in the night, as the very car they had all arrived in was blown up. High pitched screams echoed into the night, as the guests now knew their very fate rested on the house's shoulders.

"I unleashed an evil."

Shane Dawson - Poisoned.

Andrea Brooks - Asphyxiated by Poison Gas.

Justine Ezarik - Buried alive and Suffocated.

Glozell Green - Choked on her own Blood.

Lele Pons - Electrocuted in an Electric Chair.

Joey Graceffa, Eva Gutowski and Oli White, the survivors of the house, bury the artifacts outside, deep in the ground. However, as they start to leave, Joey Graceffa stops in his tracks as a weird sensation comes upon him. His right eye turns black, and small black veins illuminate on his face.

Cut to later, the Sorceress uses magic to enchant Joey, as he, under a spell, writes out yet another invitation to a new group of friends.

"I want to invite you to a masquerade ball like no other."

Lauren Riihimaki - Eaten alive by Vampires.

Alex Wassabi - Stabbed in the chest.

"My friends paid the price for my mistakes. I thought I had defeated the evil."

We see Joey lift the Crown of Oblivion, as Andrea Russett smiles next to him. "Guys, we did it." However, the Sorceress awakens and stabs Joey in the chest. Andrea and Tyler Oakley lay Joey to rest in a coffin, laying the Crown of Oblivion on his head, as they walk out, happy to be alive.

"Only to find it, with a new face."

"My friends, I am in need of your help, and so are hundreds of others."

Manny Mua - Shot by Y/N L/N.

Y/N L/N - Eaten alive by zombies, as her friends refused to save her due to them finding out she was the Carnival Master's daughter.

"So many lives were lost...and it's all my fault."

"What I want, is a way to make all the wrongs I did right."

At the same time that Joey went back for the crystal in the Carnival Master's chest and held it in his hands, over in Purgatory, a powerful blue surge went through a few tree vines on the ground, making its way to a certain person's glass exhibit.

Liza Koshy falls to the ground in shock, as glass explodes around her. She pants slightly, as she looks around and took in her unknown surroundings, as a strong breeze brushes across her face, making some of her curly hair fall into her eyes.

Her heart almost skips a beat when she sees a bunch of different YouTubers, all of whom she recognises, frozen inside glass boxes. In the aftermath of Liza's cage exploding, a few armed guards rushed out to see what was going on.

Liza just manages to hide behind a tree trunk, attempting to control her heavy breathing. As the guards turn away, Liza looks at her friends. "I'll be back. I promise."

She runs inside the museum, just barely escaping from the armed guards who were definitely searching for her, and surveys the many exhibits around her. She hears footsteps behind her and makes a split-second decision to run into a room.

She slams the doors shut, as a metallic clank echoes. She pants slightly from the running before her eyes take in what's around her. "What the hell is this place?" she whispered to herself.

She spots a jar glowing green with...a weird substance inside. What was inside?

She comes closer and shapes start to form as her eyes go wide. "Shane?" questions Liza, as she makes out the faces of her friends. "What?"

She then sees a glowing blue light, much like the one that freed her from her cage and walks towards it. There, she saw the face of Joey Graceffa. "Joey? Joey, are you there?" she says into the crystal. "This is your chance to make things right. We need you. Please. Please, come save us."

Before she could say anything else, a woman walks in, no doubt the owner of this wretched place. Liza turns around to see the woman glaring at her. "What are you doing outside of our exhibit?" she demands. 

Liza shivers from her icy voice. Fear clutched at her.

"There will be punishments." Liza sucked in whatever courage she could muster and responded: "What have you done with my friends?"

"There wasn't enough room in my collection to hold them all. But I do enjoy feasting on souls when I'm hungry."

There was a glint of something in the Collector's eyes that Liza couldn't quite place. Liza was frozen in place. She had been through so much, back at that mansion, why was this woman so frightening to her? The Collector raised her spear, and there was an awful squelching noise as the spear plunged deep into Lisa's stomach.  "Don't fight it."

And just as Liza's soul was sucked out of her, it was then that she realised.

It was the same look a predator gave its prey when it knew its prey was cornered and had nowhere to go.
