Till The End.

Chapter Three: Lights, Camera, Chaos

The morning after the first night in their new place and what took place in the "sex dungeon" 🌚, the girls were buzzing with excitement. Moving in together had been a dream, and now they were ready to share their big milestone with their subscribers.

"Alright, ladies," Natori announced, her voice commanding as usual. "We're filming at 2:00 sharp. Don't make me come find y'all."

Rhedd rolled her eyes, laying on the couch. "We get it, Mom."

"I'm serious," Natori said, shooting her a look. "This is our first video in the new apartment. We need it to be perfect."

"Relax," Hennessy chimed in. "We've done this a million times."

Shay stayed quiet, fiddling with her camera equipment. She was the one who handled the technical side of their channel, and while the others joked around, she couldn't help but feel the pressure. This wasn't just another vlog this was the start of a whole new chapter.

By 2:00, the living room was transformed into a set. The girls had rearranged the furniture, the conversation pit glowing with LED lights.

"Alright, let's run it back one more time," Shay said, adjusting the angle of the camera.

"Girl, you're overthinking," Rhedd said, throwing her arm around Hennessy. "Let's just do it!"

Shay hit record, and the energy immediately shifted.

"WHAT'S UP, FOUR STARZ FAM?" Natori shouted, throwing her hands in the air.

The rest of the girls echoed her enthusiasm, their voices overlapping as they introduced themselves. The camera captured their excitement as they showed off the apartment, laughing and joking like they always did.

"And now," Rhedd said, her grin mischievous, "we're taking you where the magic happens!"

The girls said in unison.

"Rhedd, you are not showing them the dungeon," Hennessy said, stepping in front of her.

"Why not?" Rhedd shot back. "It's way too tea not to show them they are like our little family cmon"

"Maybe later," Natori said.

They continued filming, showing off their rooms and telling funny stories about the move. Everything was going smoothly until Shay caught something strange in the viewfinder.

"Wait, hold on," she said, lowering the camera.

"What?" Natori asked.

Shay frowned, pointing toward the hallway. "Did one of you leave a light on?"

The others followed her gaze. At the end of the hallway, the door to the room was slightly opened, a faint red glow spilling out.

"Shay," Hennessy said slowly, "I thought you locked that."

"I did," Shay yelled quietly, her voice shaking.

Rhedd's eyes lit up. "Ouu, spooky! Let's get this on camera!"

"Rhedd, no," Natori snapped, grabbing her arm.

But Rhedd had already taken off, the camera in her hand as she ran toward the room.

"Rhedd, stop!" Shay called after her, panicking.

By the time they caught up, Rhedd was standing in the doorway, staring inside.

"What the hell..." she whispered, her usual loudness gone.

The room was exactly as they'd left it except for the hot tub. The water, which had been clear the day before, was now a deep red, steam rising from the surface.

"Oh my God," Natori said, covering her mouth.

"Is that..?" Hennessy started, but she couldn't finish the sentence.

Rhedd leaned closer, her camera still rolling. "It's probably just dye or something, right?"

Shay stepped forward, her stomach churning. She noticed something floating just beneath the surface a dark, shapeless mass.

"Rhedd, get back," Shay said, her voice trembling.

But Rhedd didn't listen. She reached out, dipping her hand into the water.

The second her fingers touched the surface, the lights in the apartment flickered. The girls screamed as the sound system in the living room crackled to life, blasting distorted audio.

And then Rhedd gasped, yanking her hand back. Her fingers were stained red, and she looked at them in shock. "It's warm," she whispered.

Before anyone could react, the water in the tub began to ripple. A low, guttural sound echoed through the room, like a deep exhale.

"Turn the camera off!" Natori shouted, grabbing Rhedd.

But Shay couldn't move. Her eyes were locked on the hot tub as something began to rise from the water a dark silhouette, its features impossible to make out.

"Go!" Hennessy yelled, pulling Shay back.

They all bolted from the room, slamming the door behind them. The sound of the distorted audio cut off abruptly, leaving the apartment eerily silent.

"What was that?" Natori demanded, her voice shaking.

Rhedd was still staring at her hand. "I don't know. But... we got it on camera."

Everyone froze.

The camera was still in Rhedd's hand, the red recording light blinking steadily.
