The Manor Killer

Chapter 1: The Invitation

It was a normal day in 1968, everything was going smoothly for Walter as he went to do his daily hobbies to ease up his boredom. One day, he receives a letter from Leopold Schmidt that he is invited to his manor, Walter was surprised at how he is able to get an invitation from someone rich in his town. In the next hour, Walter begins to pack his things up and goes into his car as he drives off from his house.

After a long road trip, he is now greeted by Leon's large mansion coming into view. As the guests vehicles were also seen parked outside the mansion, Walter In the other hand then parked his car. As some of the guests are already entering the mansion carrying their things. They were now greeted by the servants, who informed the guests that leon is busy with something personal.

The servants: Welcome to the Schmidt manor, ladies and gentlemen. (Said the servants in a welcoming tone.)
We're here to inform you that Mr. Schmidt is busy with something personal right now, please follow us on the third floor and we will show you to your rooms. He's been expecting you all to eat dinner at 8 o' clock.
(Said the servants as they led the guests into their guestrooms.)

Hours passed as everybody made their way on the dining table and they now wore their suits and dresses for the manor. They all now sat down on their chairs and sipped some wine while having a conversation at each other while they waited for the host. Suddenly,  footsteps can be heard outside of the dining room. As it gets closer and closer, Leopold suddenly walks into the dining room with his twin brother, Leon. Leopold, then introduced his twin to the guests.

Leopold: Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
(Greeted. Leopold to everybody.)
Thank you all for joining me at my humble manor. I'd like to introduce you to my twin brother, Leon.

Leon: it's nice to meet you all, everyone.
(Greeted, Leon to everyone as well.)

The brothers then went to their seats as Leon made a little speech.

Leopold: this is truly a night to celebrate, not just for me, but for all of us.
(Said. Leopold confidently.) The fact of the matter is I have wronged each of every one of you in some way, and since I'm a man of god. I am truly repentant, so I invited you all here to make amends.
(Explained. Leopold. As he then returned to his chair after making a speech.)

Leon: if you'll excuse me, I'll just check on our dinner for tonight.
(Leon, stands up on his host chair as we went out of the dining room.)

Charlie: is it that nice? We were being invited by some rich dude who is a man of god?  Maybe if I sit in his chair, I can get the feeling of his energy!
(Laughed. Charlie. As he stubbornly sat down on Leopold's host chair.)

As the guests were having another conversation in the dining room, thomas is seen opening a champagne bottle. As the cork popped off, Walter then caught the cork to avoid it hitting at charlie. After Walter had caught the cork, Charlie's shirt began to bleed. The guests were horrified to see charlie suddenly bleeding as his eyes widened in fear as he suddenly felt his shirt got soaked.l

Charlie: d-don't... Tell me... that cork..... Just hit me?....
(Said. Charlie faintly. As he slumped on the table.)

After charlie had slumped on the table, Walter went to examine charlie as he checked his pulse. But he didn't feel a single beat.

Walter: he's dead! He's been shot!
(Screamed. Walter.)

While the guests gasped in horror after, charlie was shot to death by an unknown circumstance.

After the incident, the guests were frightened at charlie's death. While the other guests then attempted to flee the manor in fear of getting killed. As they ran outside, it was raining heavily. Bright, flashing lightning lightened up the sky like a roaring beast. The lightning then struck a dead tree which caused it to fall down under the bridge, destroying it completely which makes all the guests stuck in the mansion. The two had no choice but to go back to the mansion. As they went inside, they informed the rest of the guests that the bridge had been destroyed.

Frankie: Everyone! The bridge had collapsed!
(Cried. Frankie.) The causeway has been flooded!

The guests were both shocked and terrified of what they had heard, as the rest of the guests also had no choice but to stay in the mansion for the night.
