Ryan's P.O.V

I held my phone close to my chest as the cool breeze of South Korea fanned my face. Erika and the others hopped out of the huge taxi van that picked us up from the airport, our driver took our luggage out. We were staying in South Korea for three days before going to our Japan trip. The driver bowed, at each one of us.

"Saranghae." I tried to say. I think it meant thank you. The driver gave me a strange look before mumbling some words to himself and stomping back to his car seat. I scratched my head, wondering what angered him all of a sudden. Daina snorted, and pursed her lips to make a thin line. I gave her a questioning look, but she strolled to her luggage to retrieve it. As i tried to enter the hanok (traditional Korean house) we were going to stay in for a few nights, Sean ran past me knocking me to the ground, over the tiny flight of stairs, and into a small bush. Derrick, Will and Greg also ran inside the hanok, not noticing i was stuck struggling to get out of the bush. What had gotten into them? Where were Daina and Erika?

I hauled myself up to escape the torturing prickly sticks that were poking up my pants, and grunted as i made my way out. Sighing, i took my shoes off and rolled my luggage inside. It was awfully quiet, and the halls were a perfect scene for a horror movie -- long, narrow and dim. I rolled my eyes, thinking that the RHPC were pulling some prank to scare me, so i decided to pretend that i was fine being by myself in my tiny room. I sat on the white sheets on the floor, and unlocked my phone. A short, but chilling message from Sean made my hair stick up. Was he joking?

Sean 🐰

HELP!

Knowing Sean, i concluded that he was probably just joking, and the RHPC were playing hide and seek, and i was the seeker. I ignored the message and continued to scroll through my twitter, tweeting and retweeting lamps. A soft ringing began to fill my ears, ocassionally going away, then coming back again. A scream filled the air, which sounded an awful lot like Erika's. I jumped up and peeked out in the hallway, hugging my arms to warm myself up from the chilly hanok.

"Hello? Guys?" My voice cracked. I was actually crapping myself, i didn't like their prank at all. I was so going to get back at them once we came back to Vegas. "This isn't funny guys, pleae stop." I paused for a few moments, and still did not get a reply, so i straightned my posture and walked down the frosty, dim hallway. One of the floorboards creeked, and turned around to see where the noise came from. A shadow appeared, disappearing into a room, i decided to follow it, thinking it was one of my friends.

"Sean!" I groaned. "Come on, we have better things to do han play hde and seek in this creepy hanok!" The door slid, slamming hard against the wall, making me jump out of my skin. Footsteps and giggles sounded the hallways, pattering and runnning crazily around. I was locked in this tiny room. They had locked me in. "Guys, seriously. I will so get back at you guys so bad once we get to Vegas, so let me out!" I threatened. The giggling and running stopped instantly, and the hallways turned dead silent. I decided to go on my phone to call Sean, it rang and rang and rang. I tired again, until i heard the sound of his ringtone in the closet. I finally found his hiding spot. I was so ready to attack him with a pillow.

I slid the closet slowly and pushed it aside. "FOUND YOU!" I yelled. But my heart dropped instanly, chills filled me from head to toe. I had expected Sean to chuckle and raise his hands in the air in surrender, but he couldn't. Because he was dead. Along with Derrick, Erika and Daina. They had been mutilated, swimming in a pool of blood. I struggled to breathe, and took a step back from the closet. My hands shook as i tapped the emergency number in Korea. But before i could dial the number a hand knocked my phone to the ground. Fearing it was the killer, i moved forward, not bothering to take a look. Unfortunately, the person had grabbed my wrist.

"Shhh." A voice hushed, before spinning me around to face them. A wave of relief washed over me, as i realised it was only Greg.

"Greg! OH MY GOD, i'm so glad it's you!" I hugged him tight, but he did not hug me back. I pulled away from the hug, to see him satring into the closet. I pried my eyes away, from the murdered bodies of my best friends. "Greg, someone murdered them! There's a killer in here! We gotta send help!"

"No need." He replied calmly.

"Why?" I furrowed my brows, and staye silent for a moment. Where was Will? "Greg, where's Will? We have to find him!"

"No need." Greg repeated again.

"Greg, stop this. You're scaring me.

"Happy Halloween." Greg leaned in towards me to whisper, his moustache tickling my ear. The sounds of heavy but slow footsteps made their way into the room Greg and i were in. My eyes widened, and i turned to face Greg, to say something, but no words came out of my mouth. The person stopped at the door, their shadow faced the direction where  i was standing. The knot in my stomach squeezed tighter and tighter as i watched the door slowly slide open. First a hand, then an arm. Then Will appeared by the door, a calm look on his face.

"Will! Greg is acting strange." I pointed to Greg who stood stone still, staring at me not blinking at all. "We have to send help! Look what happened to our friends!" I was on the verge of crying. Tears began to cloud my eyes, but all Will could do was give me an eerie smile.

"Happy Halloween, Ryan." Were the last words i heard before Will thrust a knife deep into my heart.
