Dinner Party To Die For

Chapter 10: We Finally Got One

As they come out of the portal, they run to the Family Room, and everyone is shocked. Zeke gets up and runs to Alice.

"I told you. I knew you would do it." Zeke says while he's hugging Alice.

"James, thank you." Alice says as she lets go of her brother. "He said he would sacrifice himself so I could go and spend time with you. But, he didn't have to. He beat Lily after I got out."

"Did you guys get the gem and chalk we need?" Cassandra asks the two winners.

"Yeah. And A little something extra too." James says as he pulls out the chalk and bag. "We have a shard."

"Nice! But we need to hurry up and get the chalk and gem onto the mat." Kevin says

"And, who is this?" Jack asks as the Ringmaster walks into the room.

"Ah, I am Stephen, I am the Ringmaster. Thank you for saving me. I am so sorry for what happened to your friend. But that needed to happen to get out. Hopefully you can finish what my team could not. You see, this 'Watching Woman' has done this to so many people before. She has taken control of so many people and put them into the same situation. Including me, I was the one to hold the last party. One by one I saw all of my friends die, and when they were all gone, she made me wear this costume and wait for the next group. That being said, I know where the next gem is. I could join you guys. I have some unfinished business to get done."

"Ok. If you can help us I get we should." Kevin says

"We should put these on the mat first. Just to see that we've made some progress." Alex says

Everyone agrees and they walk over to the mat. They draw a line on the mat over one side of the hexagon and put the gem in the top left slot.

"Hey. Did anyone ever go to find the gem shard on the fourth floor?" Sally asks.

Everyone shakes their head and immediately know what to do. They all run up to the fifth floor, and start looking around for the bag. They find a hallway with three rooms on each side and look through each room. Zeke and Alice went into a room near the beginning. And they find the bag. And another clue.

"Ah, so you listened to a dead man. That's your first mistake. But sadly, that's what one of your friends are about to be!" From the stairs they hear a scream and a fall, everyone runs over to the stairs, and sees Stephen being dragged away.

"Stephen!" Sarah screams.

He's getting pulled away by something, very fast. Everyone runs down the stairs and sees him, dead in the middle of the Foyer. With a note across his chest.

"He wasn't one of the guests! It's you who were invited so it is you who shall die! Not any other guests from previous parties! You!"

They could tell this was the Watching Woman. And they could tell they have to play by the rules. Otherwise this would happen, and maybe, to one of them.
