Day 7

Melanie woke up in a mansion, she was yet again stuck in a room. She checked her phone, which is now dead, so she had to search her pocket again for her watch and checked. "10 am already" Melanie said. She ran out, the mansion was huge, with many hallways and rooms, she carefully sneak from room to room, after getting lost for 1 hour, Melanie stumbled across a dimly lit hallway, and found Mia in the last room. Mia was on the floor, her hands tied, her face lit up the moment she saw Melanie, who was walking carefully into the room. Melanie rushed in and cut the ropes. "Let's go look for Varian" Melanie suggested. "No, let's wait here, he was just here, Varian will come back" Mia begged. So they waited for what feels like eternity, then Melanie checked her watch, 45 minutes has passed, and there was no sign of Varian. After a while of discussing, they decided to go out and look for him. 
Meanwhile, Varian, well, he wasn't in a very good position, since he wandered around and is now lost in another dimly lit part of the mansion, but he knew he isn't the only one in here, Varian could feel the presence of someone stalking him at the corner of his eye. Suddenly, he felt a strong pair of arms gripping at his neck, his mouth covered making breathing a struggle for him. Varian shivered in fear as the figure's head leaned closer to his ear. "Do you have any un full-filled wishes?" The voice whispered making him shiver even more. He thought about it, then nodded. "I-I, haven't confessed to my crush yet" He replied embarrassed. The figure chuckled then knock him out.

While wandering around, they heard a muffled scream then quiet. Melanie and Mia went there to investigate, they felt eyes watching them from behind. With the sound of knife clashing, Mia wanted to scream, but nothing came out of her mouth. Suddenly, footsteps echoed in the hallway, a shadow of someone reflected on the wall, just one more right turn, the figure would reach the two. With her quick thinking, Melanie shoved Mia into the basement. With boxes all around, it was an excellent hiding place. They made their way to the corner at the back of the basement which was behind the boxes. Mia, wanting to contribute, decided to stand in front of Melanie to watch out for enemies. The door to the basement creak open, Melanie looked at her watch. Footsteps got closer to them as the duo duck down behind the box. "Sorry Mia" Melanie whispered. "Wha-" Before Mia could finish, she felt a needle inserting her arm, then fell to the ground with a thud, her whole body feeling paralyzed at the same time sleepy. With her last moments before fainting, she felt a presence near her and a voice said: "Good job, Melanie"
