Kaliyah hears footsteps coming from the kitchen (it's a house, i dare you tell me a house is not a mansion) and runs into a bedroom, with two doors, a bed, and a closet. Kaliyah finds a flashlight with  two batteries in a drawer, she tells herself "What am I going to do with this?" The doors do not have a lock, and the 'monsters' will surely come from the doors, her best guess is to use it to find them and shut the door on them until she hears footsteps to leave. Outside, Ember and Pyro talk to each other, Pyro tells Ember "Dude, is that a monster?" Ember says "I think so, let's go away from the house before it sees us." They end up running to their house, and then leave Kaliyah inside. The monster, a "Trampler" comes out of the Kitchen, who has heard Kaliyah's footsteps into the bedroom, having heard her footsteps, the Trampler comes 'Trampling' into the right hallway, Kaliyah hears it, and blasts the door open and turns on the flashlight, luckily it wasn't close enough to the door where it could crush Kaliyah to the floor. By that, and it was running, Kaliyah had quick reaction time to shut the door, crushing a part of its' loose skin. In Kaliyah's mind, all she told herself was "Why would my friends do this to me..?" The Trampler was running away from the hallway, where Kaliyah had the door open again, due to it only being able to be closed temporarily by holding it shut to find the loose skin sitting on the floor, and by turning on the flashlight; finds footsteps marked with blood on the floor of the hallway. "That's it. I'm going to kill Ember and Pyro once I get out of here." Kaliyah spots an Entity Book on top of a desk, the first thing her eyes spotted was the entity "Scrambloat", she finds the description for it, and reads in her mind "It is a humanoid and animal-like creature, covered in black sludge. The way to avoid it is to hear the sounds of balloons activating despite no balloons, and heading to where I hear it from. From using the flashlight, it stops for a brief moment, which gives me enough time to use static-3-loaded darts to throw one at it. Doing that, it will fastly crawl to your door, where you have to... what? All of it is just scribbled now. I'm assuming I close it." With the help of that information, she can surely be able to survive in this place, right? Kaliyah rests for about an hour or two, and as she wakes up, she hears Balloons from the left hallway, but hell does she not know where the darts are. She looks all over the place, and finally finds four in a drawer. She says "...only four?" Upon holding a dart, she feels herself being damaged 7 times for 3 damage in a single second, to that, she goes to the left hallway, turns on the flashlight, and IMMEDIATELY throws it at the Scrambloat, to that, it runs fast into the hallway and boy did that backfire because Kaliyah slammed the door on its face. The Scrambloat gets angry and starts headbutting the door, and finally goes away. She opens the door, but this REALLY stresses Kaliyah out, because there is now a small crack at the door, and she knows that it will break through at some point. Being that there are no creatures around her for now. She feels the need to rest, she gets a 'Guide Book' from a drawer, inside she looks for the part where it says she can sleep, but, the only thing related to sleep was "Rest is a death wish at night. You can only rest at the day." Knowing this information, things started looking grim. She had NOT slept for 2 days due to training her punches due to a supposed 'war' that was going to be declared, and today being a Sunday, hoping she could rest. THIS SHIT HAPPENS, how unfortunate. Kaliyah looks at the small clock, and it says that it's about 2:00 AM, she says "So I have to stand four more hours until I can get out? Great." And with no sarcasm. However, she hears running from the left hall, and balloons from the right hall. (the balloons are slow btw) Knowing how slow balloons are, she closes the door on the Trampler, and it runs away after half a minute, knowing she has time, she grabs a dart and flashes the light onto the Scrambloat, but it was WAY too close. She touches the Scrambloat with the dart instead of throwing it and IMMEDIATELY closes the door right after. After a while, the Scrambloat leaves, She says "That was way too close for comfort, but I guess i'll re-" Running. Kaliyah goes to the right door and closes the door, as she waits for the Trampler to come and pass by, when it is near the door, she opens the door, SLAMMING it into the Trampler's face. She goes outside to check, and it is dead. Well, that's one down. She goes to the Entity Book and puts a cross on the Trampler's page using fire magic and burning it. She then puts an 'extinct' below the page, again, by burning it. She again, finally rests for an hour, and wakes up to some sounds in the closet. She wakes up, checks both hallways, and sees no entity, she says "Oh, that's weird. Maybe someones went to the store to get the milk." She sees the closet creak, so she walks up to it, and spots a Lurker. She shines the light on it, and puts it near the eye. This seems to greatly affect it, and build up three stacks, so she punches it, and sets it on fire. Then she shines the light at its other eyes and closes the closet doors so it goes away. She realizes "The entity did not go for milk... It just wasn't a hallway person." And, seeing that it is 4 AM, she spots a light switch, and turns it on to no avail. It does not work, so she grabbed a dart and put it near the switch, it seemed to turn on, but it stopped when the dart went away, so she stuck it to the light switch to keep it on. And of course, to no avail, she realizes it might be for another entity she'll encounter, and is the case. It has not appeared yet, nor will it be appearing anytime this night. The clock quickly turned to 5 AM, so she started focusing on entities, so she will not die. But she hears running from the right, the closet creaking, and balloons activating from the left. She says "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?" THE TRAMPLER IS NOT DEAD. She closes the right door until it goes away, and immediately ran to the left to shine the light and pop the balloons and slam the door on it for a few seconds, the Lurker starts getting its hand and face out of the closet, but Kaliyah shines the flashlight on it, and punches it, then she closes the closet. the time was 5:27, so she knows it takes a bit to end the night, so she just waits until the night ends, and the time is now 5:44. Kaliyah is getting distracted by the time, and the Trampler gets into the room, she hits it until she can do a fiery punch, and finally does it. When she does, the Trampler grabs her and punches her in the head, she blacks out due to that, and before the Trampler could get anymore hits, the time is now 6:00 AM. The Trampler fades, and the lights turn on, the bad part being Kaliyah's fractured skull. And most likely brain damage, as it is now day time, this night, comes to an end.
