TRIGGER WARNINGS - STABBING, DEATH, DECAPITATION, GORE

Adam, Kaz, and Vik all stormed back to the mansion. Their emotions were mixed with confusion and rage. Mason had to be behind this. They don't give a single shit if the cops were still there. Vik slammed the mansion door open. He ran into the kitchen and found the biggest knife he could see. He gripped it with nothing but rage flooding through his blood stream.


Mason was currently hard at work in the basement. He was trying to find a good way to subtly kill one of the four without them immediately knowing it was him. All of a sudden, he felt something disappear. He looked up at the chart he had created to keep track of the targets and noticed Elliot had vanished from the "ALIVE" side.

Was the guy stupid enough to get himself killed? It's not like Mason really cared, it was one last life he had to take himself. Mason got back to work. His plan was to create different hypothetical situations. All he had to do was kill his victim, leave some weird shit around the body, add some stuff to make it look "accidental" and then boom.

Mason suddenly remembered that he let his victims free. He quickly got up from his chair and dashed out of the basement. He made sure nobody saw him. He went up the stairs and peaked into rooms. Surprisingly, all three of the remaining targets were in their rooms doing whatever. Mason noticed how Vik started acting around him. He found it quite strange. He was sure to have to talk to him about that.

Mason walked back to his little office and continued his work.


Kaz and Adam walked into Vik's room. They decided to all meet up there after they were certain Mason wasn't around. As soon as they entered the room, they noticed how weird Vik was acting. He seemed to be really triggered by Elliot's death. He had every right to be. Elliot was his closest friend. He was still so confused why all they found was just a raspberry macaroon. Where was Elliot's body?

The three were caught by surprise when a random voice suddenly started speaking. It sounded just like Elliot. Had his soul been sucked into the macaroon?

VIK - "Elliot?"

??? - "Do you finally understand me?"

VIK - "ELLIOT!"

Vik felt like he was going to start crying.

"ELLIOT" - "I'm so sorry for letting you guys down."

ADAM - "How did you die?"

"ELLIOT" - "I stepped on one of the forest worms. They tore me apart."

ADAM - "Oh..."

Vik passed the macaroon towards Adam and started to use his blanket to wipe his tears. He slowly got up from his bed and clutched the knife resting on his bedside. He wanted to make this quick and easy.

ADAM - "What are you doing?"

Vik turned towards the two with a determined look.

VIK - "He will die."

Vik stormed out of the room with the knife clutched in his hand. Adam and Kaz quickly followed after exchanging a look of shock to each other.

Vik noticed Mason sitting at the table in the kitchen enjoying a smoothie. He immediately starts confronting him.

VIK - "Hey you!"

Mason looks up at Vik and they meet eyes. A confused look is displayed on his face.

VIK - "Yeah I'm talking about you!"

MASON - "What?"

VIK - "What the hell is your deal!?"

MASON - "What do you mean?"

VIK - "Do you seriously not know what I mean?!"

MASON - "Well I'd appreciate context."

VIK - "Are you seriously not aware of Elliot's death?"

MASON - "Who?"

VIK - "Are you fucking serious?!"

Vik lunged at the unsuspecting man. He immediately started stabbing him as hard as he could. He wanted to avenge Elliot. He couldn't believe this man was laughing in his face like this. The deeper he cut, the more he healed. 

Vik stabbed him so deep he could feel his heart. He was in complete shock that it was still beating. He stabbed directly into it. Mason went limp. Vik stepped on him one last time before getting off of him.

To his surprise, as soon as Vik stood up, he was pulled back down. A very much alive Mason pulled him back down and brutally stepped directly onto his neck, decapitating him. Adam and Kaz watched from the stairs as Vik's head rolled around on the ground like bowling ball.

Mason stared in their direction. Adam yanked Kaz's arm and ran for it. They didn't know where they could go to hide from him. Mason decided to let them run away for a bit. He looked at Vik's headless body. He took the bloody knife out of his chest and plunged it directly into Vik's. The nerve that guy had.

Mason made his way to the basement to fetch something. Not a single person can know about this. His plan to make their deaths anonymous had already failed. 

He might as well drop the act.
