A Twisted Halloween: Terror is Trending

Chapter 4: Are you Prepared?

At the coliseum - temporary stage, the Savanaclaw students are dealing with their own brand of Magicam Monsters. In fact, the Savanaclaw students are chasing the Magicam Monsters.

One of the students calls out, "Wait! Return the treasure right now!"

However, when they arrive, they see that the Magicam Monsters have disappeared.

"Argh, we've lost 'em. Where'd you go?!" Get back here!" The second student shouts in anger.

Then looks around and says, "Hey, let's go check that way!"

And with that, the students rush off to find the ones who have taken the treasure. Unknown to the students, the Magicam Monsters are hiding behind the pirate ship.

"Did we ditch 'em?" The man questions.

He looks out to see that students aren't around.

And says, "Whew! My feet are killing me."

"It freaked me out how hard they chased us. Night Raven College is legit scary!" The woman says.

They also notice a sign, "Please Don't Touch the Exhibits."

Then the man says, "There are all these signs around everywhere saying not to touch treasures... but they've got so many of them. Why get so bent out of shape over us borrowing a couple?"

"I know, right? We'll give them back when we're done, so what's the problem?" The woman replies.

"The rumor says if you take a picture of yourself with treasure, your wishes will come true. Wouldn't it be cool if that was true?" The man says.

Then says in excitement, "Anyway, we gotta stay on top of this trend! Let's get these pictures and post 'em while they're hot."

And soon, the two begin to take pictures.

Unknown to the Magicam Monsters, Leona and Ruggie are aware of their actions and aren't far behind either.

"Hoo boy. You see that there?" Ruggie says. "There they are, taking commemorative selfies and generally being a nuisance without a care in the world."

"Hmph. Let 'em have their fun," Leona says.

Then shows a small smirk on his face, "The moment your prey thinks they've gotten away is the moment when they're the most unguarded."

One of the students says, "Yeah! It was hard running just far enough behind that we wouldn't catch up with them."

The second student laughs, "Hyah hah hah! They weren't even worth catchin' up to. Let's corner 'em right now, Housewarden!"

"Not yet. I'm not the one in command today, either," Leona says.

Then turns to Jack who is close by, "Jack, you're callin' the shots. We'll be following your plan. Remember, our feast is riding on you. Are you prepared for that level of responsibility?"

"Absolutely, sir," Jack answers. "I guarantee you that my plan will get the Magicam Monsters out of our hair!"

"Ooh, Jack's rarin' to go," Ruggie says.

Leona then says, "Don't push yourself too hard and screw this up, frosh."

"Come on, guys!" Jack says to the students.

"Yeah!" The Savanaclaw students say.

Meanwhile the Magicam Monsters are still taking selfies with the treasure and anything else they can find.

The man says, "Okay, let's get these pictures! The selfie stick should go back... here, right?"

"Yeah, perfect. Ready?" The woman replies.

Suddenly, an odd sand-like wind appears out of nowhere. Soon, the treasures they are holding have turned to sand.

"Huh?!" The two react in shock.

And the sand falls to the ground. Then the sand atmosphere disappears.

"The treasure I was holding just... turned to sand!" The man says, shocked.

"You've gotta be kidding!" The woman says, and grows frustrated, "Ugh. try not to break the next one, will you?

But the man says, "Hey, I didn't break THIS one! Anyway, we can just take a pic with a different treasure."

Then notices a pearl necklace, "Ooh, this necklace is pretty rad. Let's use this."

Soon the man grabs the necklace and begins to get ready for a picture, "Pose, and..."

However, the sandy mist appears again, and the necklace has been turned to sand.

"It turned to sand again?!" The man exclaimed in shock.

Soon, the sandy-atmosphere appears without the visitors' notice, and one by one, every treasure they touch turn into sand.

The man panics, "And this one... and this one... and this one! Every treasure we touch keeps turning into sand! What in Twisted Wonderland's going on here?!"

He then turns to the woman in fright, "Y'know, this is creeping me out. Maybe we should just go."

The woman however remains silent and remains still in her position.

The man asks, "Are you STILL posing for a selfie? Come on, we're done here!"

In the moment of silence, the woman is barely able to speak, "...nt move..."

"Huh?" The man says, confused.

Then the woman screams, "I said I can't move!"

"What?! That's just -" The man says, about to walk, but then, "URK!"

The man struggles, "I can't move ei... ther... Ngh!"

The woman says in thought, "My mouth won't move!"

The man asks in thought, "What's going on?!"
