One half of the guests went into a state of shock and began to freak out. The other half began to cheer and enter a good vibe.  All of a sudden, out of nowhere, a demented voice boomed across the room. "Silence!" It screamed "Who said that?" asked a curious Alex. A small tornado surrounded by a scorching red fire started to form above the middle of the dining table and then a boy with wings came out of the fire tornado. He looked transparent and it was obvious that he was a ghost. "I did." he replied in a firm voice towards Alex's question. Most of the people were screaming out of sheer terror. All except Chandler. "Oh no. It's a little boy pretending to be a ghost. Everybody run for your lives." he said sarcastically. The ghost ignored him and continued his statement. "Nawdren is my name. Your so-called Carrano..." He said Carrano in a very strange voice as if he thought that name was cursed. "Carrano has been found dead. I will tell you this once and once only, Carrano and the rest of the chaperones didn't die of natural causes such as a heart attack, they were all murdered in an act of cold-hearted hate!"

"How can you tell? It was pitch black. Nobody in the entire room could tell what was going on." defied Harrison. Trying to contain his short temper, Nawdren floated over to him and said in a monster like voice, "I'm a freaking spirit. I can see anything during both the brightest days and darkest nights. One of you people in this very room killed him and I know exactly who did it." Everybody gasped. Even Chandler began to start getting concerned about the whole matter. They all wanted the answers to what was going on and what was going to happen. "Tell us, please! We want to know everything!" requested Taine. Nawdren had other ideas for the night. "No! I won't ever tell you! Why? Because you're on your own with this one. There will be more than just one death tonight." 

Tommy was resting his hand on his face and slowly let it slide down. "Great, just what I thought." he moaned. He hated the fact that he knew this was happening and that he was right. Tommy then knew he should've trusted his instinct to stand up to Alex and let him go alone. Nawdren continued talking. "You're all the suspects. It will be my personal job to torture the culprit if you find out who it is. I will give you all until midnight and if you don't find out who it is, you'll all be getting dragged down to hell with me! Happy Halloween!" All of a sudden, Nawdren vanished and everybody in the room fell silent. Just when somebody was about to speak, a burst of fire exploded violently.  The electronic devices flickered on and off consistently before they all broke into sparks. Before the fire disappeared, Nawdren's face flashed for about 1 second and the fire disappeared altogether.

 Everyone was screaming and crying uncontrollably. "Oh, god. This is serious!" Lewis cried. "We got to do something! Quick!" Just as Lewis was about to do something,  he noticed something warm across his pants. He was also hearing a whimpering sound. It was quiet and full of fear. In fact, war, fluid was on everyone's pants. It was human urine. None can remember pissing themselves and tried to find the source of it. After looking around the candlelit room, everybody realized the source of it: Caleb. Everybody then had their own separate input. "Oh, god, Caleb!" 

"What did you do that for?"

"I know you're scared but come on!" A scared to death Caleb could only say three words. "I. Hate. Halloween." he stuttered when he said that. Tears were flooding down his face and he just wanted to leave. "Christ. It's already 9:47." Chandler stated. "So what?" Jackson replied. Chandler was shocked with his reply. "So?! So we have until midnight! And I know for a fact that nobody is gonna fess up until then." 

"How do you know that?" Grant asked. Chandler then put a hand on his shoulder. It was a struggle since he was separated from him only by Harrison who was between them in the seating arrangement. "Haven't you seen any horror movie ever? It's such a cliche." Chandler explained. "If nobody fesses up, then we have to go for the facts," Alex said. "I'll begin." Alex then pointed towards his subject. "The food, what happened to it?"

"I reckon the old bastard ate it," Taine said, giggling. "No seriously." Josh was getting strict at this point. "He's right." contradicted Lewis.  "We're all edging closer towards our demise by the minute and we're still not onto something." Alex thanked him for getting the attention he needed. "Carrano was getting excited to show us the meal and then poof! It disappeared." Caleb spoke up. "Maybe misplaced it or something." All of a sudden Cory cut him off. "Fine. Listen, I ate the entree and everything else that came with it. Big deal. I saw the plates and ate them. It's not a big deal." Cory felt good that he finally said something. "You what?" Mason asked with frustration. "I ate the gourmet five-course meal. Big whoop. Now I want to talk about what I saw." Cory said as if it was a massive fluke. Mason couldn't believe what he was hearing. "We were all starving and you ate it?" 

"What's it to you? This has been established!" 

"Maybe if you didn't eat the gourmet awesomeness, then maybe the old hag wouldn't have died."

"Wait, what?!" 

"You killed the Teachers!"

"No! I..." Cory suddenly started to cough and choke and then in about 3 seconds, he was dead. "I think the food was poisonous," muttered Tommy.
