Ramona, Iris, Lauren and Donovan all loaded up with weapons and headed for the old swimming pool. That's where The Countess kept her infected children.
Iris felt more alive than ever before. She was a little nervous about going after The Countess. But it had to be done.
When they got to the swimming pool, the kids were gone. They're coffins had been moved somewhere else.
"You think I'm stupid." said The Countess; walking up from behind them.
"It's- it's not what it looks like." said Donovan in fear.
"It's exactly what it looks like. You think that by killing my babies, you can hurt me... Well you can. Emotionally and physically. But I've placed them somewhere else. The only ones that know are me and Mr March.... And you do know, that if I die - any creations of mine will die shortly after me. I made you, Donovan. And I made you also... Ramona. It's how the virus works. When you're creator dies, you can feel the pain. And that explains why I'm still alive. My creator must still be out there, I just haven't found him yet. But my point is; don't try me. It'll only bring a damage to yourselves." said The Countess.
"Why didn't you tell us then?" asked Ramona.
"Because my dear, if I told you - all you would've done is worry yourselves. There's many things that come with this virus that you have not yet discovered." she added.
"We're- we're sorry. We won't try it again." Iris stuttered.
"You better not. But you shouldn't have anything to worry about. You're not infected." The countess smiled.
"R-right." said Iris nervously.
The Countess wasn't yet aware that Donovan had turned her. And they planned to keep it that way.

John Lowe woke up in his hotel bed. Sally was sitting at the edge.
"I think I can help you." she said.
"With what?" John questioned.
"The Ten Commandments Killer.
In fact, we all can help you." said Sally as Will Drake and Liz appeared in the room.
"Woah what's happening?" he said hopping out of the bed.
"We're dead John." Will said.
"Shh we can explain that to him later." hushed Sally. "We're pretty sure that The Countess is committing these murders." she added.
"How do you know?" John asked.
"We've been around this place for a while now... Well I have. And everything seems to lead back to her. Like last night, Will and I were walking down the hall and could hear Mr March and her planning to kill you. They said that they had to do something before you found out. They're after you John." said Sally.
"I talked to her last night. No wonder she knew so much about the murders." he said.
"Exactly. We have to do something. We're all willing to help you." she added.
Will and Liz shook their heads.

{1992 - Los Angeles}
Tate Langdon sat in his language arts class fantasizing over his teacher, Ms. Dayton. They always have a talk after class because recently his grades have been dropping.
But she promised him something... She promised that if he would at least try to do his homework, she would let him pass. But he also had to have sex with her on the days that his mother, Constance was at work.
When the bell rang, Ms. Dayton dismissed the students and called Tate over to her desk.
"Yes Ms. Dayton." He smiled; after everyone left.
"Oh please. You know you can call me Sally by now. I mean, you do when we... Is your mom working today?" She asked while grabbing ahold of his hand.
"Yeah. She does every Tuesday." said Tate as he started to get hard.
Sally noticed it and rubbed his d*ck with her hand.
"Why don't we go take care of that?" she smiled.
-
When they got to The Murderhouse, Tate and Sally ran up to his bedroom. She started to strip down and so did he. As Tate took his jeans off, his thick c*ck hung out of his boxers. Sally giggled.
"What?" he asked; continuing to take his clothes off.
"I want it so bad." She moaned while biting her lip. "Do that thing you always do. The daddy thing." she added with smile.
"Okay. You want some of Daddy's d*ck?" He asked in a seductive voice. Sally giggled again and nodded her head.
-
About 8 minutes later, Constance came home early from work.
She heard the sound of Sally moaning and screaming Tate's name from upstairs.
When she opened his bedroom door, her jaw dropped.
Tate was laying back on the bed, while Sally rode him. His big hands grasp her hips while he pumped in and out of her.
"You f*cking like that?" He shouted.
Then he saw Constance standing at his door in shock.
"Mom?" Tate questioned while forcing Sally off of him.
"Who is this?" asked Constance in anger.
"I'm Sally... And I guess I'll be leaving now." she said gathering her things and putting her clothes back on.
"Get out of my house." said Constance pointing her finger out the door.
"You don't scare me." Sally laughed.
"Don't test me." Constance added.
-
Once Sally left the room, Constance shook her head and looked up to the ceiling.
"Don't you ever disrespect me in my house again boy." she said.
Then she left his bedroom; shutting the door behind her.
-
Tate took off the blanket that he had covering himself and started to get dressed. He couldn't believe that his own mother walked in on that. A few weeks later, Sally was fired from her teaching job at the high school. Constance reported that she was having an intimate relationship with her son.
Sally became depressed because she could no longer see Tate. She checked into The Hotel Cortez and got into some drugs. That's how she was able to feel happy again.
Now she's trapped in the hotel and can only visit Tate on Halloween night. That's when the spirits can roam freely.

{Present Day - 7:34 PM}
Donovan laid on his bed in just underwear and socks. Lauren rested her head on his chest.
"Do you like killing people?" She asked.
"... Well I don't really like it. But I mean, it's the only way I can stay young." He laughed.
"Oh. I want you to turn me." said Lauren without hesitation.
"Are you joking?" He asked.
"No. I'm serious. I want to be like you. I wanna stay young and enjoy life for as long as I can. What do I have to lose?" She asked.
"Everything. I was only turned because I was on the edge of dying. I had some heroin that was too much on my body, and she saved me. You don't just do it, to do it. It's not suppose to be a choice." said Donovan.
Lauren stood up and walked over to the dresser. She grabbed Donovan's pocketknife that was inside his jean pocket, and opened it.
"Wait what are you doing?" He asked; standing up.
"I trust you."
Lauren took the knife and slit her throat. Donovan quickly cuffed his hand over the slice as blood sprayed from in between his fingers. She fell to the floor.

An Italian man walked into the hotel lobby and asked for a room. The Countess walked down the staircase in a red dress.
"Elizabeth." He said turning around. His eyes lit up with love.
".. Valentino. Is it really you?" She asked with a smile.
He held his arms out, waiting for a hug. She quickly walked down the steps in her expensive heels.
"Do you two know each other?" Iris asked.
A tear rolled down Elizabeth's face as she looked into Valentino's eyes.
"Yes we do." He smiled.
"My one true love." The Countess smiled back.
