Months Before the Guests Arrived:
The Cursed God Went to The Middle school after Dillon, Grace, And Tristan Escaped. He Searched Through the Halls And Eventually Found The Maruca Lying Down in a corner.
Cursed God: Why Aren't You a Precious Thing, I think That I can Use You Later.
He then Helped It get up and then Opened A portal to The Realm of Lies (Where the Cursed God lives). The Cursed god Then took the Maruca back home with him So he could Use it Again.

Present Day:
Kadence: Holy shit, why did the Lights Go out?
Dillon: You have got to be kidding me, this Thing again?
Then A drawer on the Other side of the room opened up and There was a glow Coming out of it.
Ta'lease: Guys Look! That Thing just opened up.
(they all walked over to it).
Tristan: Whats in it?
Ta'lease: There is an old, Dusty book.
Gage: Whats in the book?
Ta'lease: Nothing, all the pages Are Just blank.
Dillon: Are you Sure?
Ta'lease: Yea, ...Wait No. There is a page in the middle. There is a picture of some sort of Monster.
Grace: Monster?
Ta'lease: Yea, and There is a Description.
It says " The Marucas Are Creatures that are a Mixture of a werewolf and a demon. They can't see in the light but as soon as they are in the dark Their Vision is Perfect. If seen by one of these things Your Days are numbered but as long as your in the Light then you will be ok.
Tristan:Wait, why do these things sound Familier?
Dillon: We had to defeat them the When this happened at the middle school.
Grace: Oh yeaa, They killed London.
Kamryn: I hate to interrupt but I think you all should go check the hallway, I heard Something.
So they opened the door and Saw that all the lights were off except for Some spotlights that were Scattered around the hallways. Under one of the Spotlights was a Chest.
Ca'Ron: Yall there is a Chest over there.
Dillon: lets Go check it out.
Gage: Hell nah, Im not goin out there with a monster.
Dillon: Well we don't have a choice.
Ta'lease: Dont worry, ill go with you.
So they both walked over to the Chest and Opened it up. Inside they found a note and a key.
Before Dillon could Read the note The Maruca Came Running around the Corner.
Ta'lease: HOLY SHIT!
Stevie: GUYS HURRY, RUN BACK!
Dillon: No, if we are in the light then Were safe, if we run back it will kill us.
Gage: Ok suit Yourselfs but we are shutting the door.
So they Shut the door and The Two stayed under the light and read the note.
Dillon: ok, so it says " To Move on You must first Learn what Makes them Sleepy, Do do so you must go to the Kitchen and find a book Called "Monterous Recipes"."
Ta'lease: well, now we know where to go. Lets go back to the others.
So they both waited till the Maruca walked away and then ran back to the lounge. They walked in and told the other about what they had to do.
Tristan: Ok so lets go guys.
Kadence: What about that thing out there?
Kamryn: Some of you are going to have to Diatract it.
Gage: It's not gonna be me, I know that for Damn sure.
Stevie: Why not? Do you not wanna help?
Gage: no, I do wanna help I just Don't wanna Be eaten by a demon.
Kamryn: To make it fair I will Choose Two Peoples Cards at random.
So Kamryn shuffled all of the Cards and Pulls two
Kamryn: The Two That will be Distracting are Gage and Caron.
Caron: You have got to be kidding me.
Gage: Damn im unlucky.
So they all walked outside and The Two guys Started to Run in the Opposite Direction. After a few seconds the Maruca ran after Them. A soon as it was out of sight the group Ran to the Kitchen and walked in. Once they walked in they saw the School Cook sitting in the Corner Just Sitting there.
Cook: Well what brings you all here? Does this have Something to do with all of that yelling I heard Coming from the Halllway?
Dillon: Yea, we need your help. Do you have any Cookbooks Here?
Cook: Of course I do, Let me Get them For you.
(He goes and Gets a stack of books from the back and Brings them out.)
Ta'lease: Ok Great, Now we gotta look for the Monster Book.
Jessa: Yall I found it!
Ashton: Does it say Anything about The Maruca?
Jessa: Let me See (She Flips Through The Pages).
Yea, There is a Recipe For Some Kind of Soup. It says that we need Mushrooms, Beef Broth, and Some Sleeping Pills to make it.
Gage: Ok so how do we get that stuff?
Cook: I have all of those things in the pantry But That Cursed God Put a lock on it and hid it Somewhere in here.
Tristan: Is there anything else that he might have Given you?
Cook: Yea, He gave me this Note. ( He hands the note to Tristan).
Tristan: Ok so It says " To get The Key You must Search The Kitchen, But whoever Finds it will Be safe from Elimination This Round."
Ashton: Sounds Great!
So they all started looking around the Kitchen For a Key. After a Couple Of minutes Stevie found It hidden Under a pot in one of the Drawers. She then went over to the Pantry and Unlocked it.
Jessa: So you See the Ingrediets?
Stevie: Yea, they're Sitting on this box.
she then picked them up and Handed them To the Cook. He Got out a bowl And poured all of the Things Inside.
Cook: Here you go, This should knock That thing out in Seconds. (He Hands It to Dillon).
Dillon: Yall we Gotta Hurry, Caron and Gage Could be dead by now.
They all agreed and the Group went out into the hallway and placed The bowl down. Some of them then Started yelling For the Monster.
Dillon: HEYYYYY, COME HERE BIG THING!
Grace: WE GOT SOME FOOD FOR YOU!
Then all of a sudden the Maruca walked out form a hallway so they all hid bahind a wall. While they were hiding the Maruca Grabbed the bowl and Drank the Soup. It Started to Stumble and it eventually Fell over but not Before letting out a loud Shreak. As soon as it fell over the Group decided to go inspect it. Once they walked over to it Gage and Caron came out of the hallway next to them. As they were looking Dillon Found a note Tied to Its Foot.
Dillon: Guys look, Its a note!
Ta'lease: What does it say?
Dillon: It says " Now that You have Laid This Creature to Rest you may Walk amoung the halls without fear, Unless It summoned Its Cousin The Marikan. You will know that is Summoned the Marikan if it let out a deafening Shreak before falling over. If that didn't happen then you should be fine.
Tristan: Of course, there's another one.
Kadence: We should go back, like now. I mean the thing Did Scream so that other one is Comming.
They all agreed and Ran back to the lounge Once there The Group saw that there was now a light Shining on the door and The Dusty book from earlier was at the Foot of the door.
Jessa: (Tries to Open the Door) Guys the door is locked, Were trapped out in the hallway.
Gage: You have got to be kidding me.
Ashton: (Picks up the Book) Wait, maybe there is a Page on this New thing.
He Then opens up the book and A note fell out.
Stevie: Whats that?
Ashton: Its a note, It says " To Get rid of The Marikan You must Plit up and Solve Three Puzzles throughout the Halls, once all three are done something that can help you will be revealed. But be careful because if anyone is caught they will be Dragged away and automatically Put into The Death Challenge."
Kamryn: You all should Hurry and split up before it starts Running Around.
So they listened to her and got into three Groups.
Group 1: Ashton, Dillon, Kadence
Group 2: Tristan, Gage, Caron
Group 3: Jessa, Grace, Ta'lease, Stevie
They all split Up and Searched for the Puzzles.
