Escape The Night ~ NCT

Chapter 1- The house

(Taeyong's P.OV)
I watch from the window from my room as they arrive. One of them going inside, one by one. I closed the curtain and went downstairs as the last person entered.

"Welcome everyone to my new fine estate!" I greeted all of them as they clapped, happiness filled their face.

"I want you to meet the staff of this house! Sarah, the maid, Jack, the head of staff, George, the housekeeper.

"Dinner is just being prepared so you can look around, play games with the other members until dinner has been served!" I announced

I saw Chenle and Jisung going to the library, Renjun, Jaemin, Haechan and Jeno talking while looking around, Jungwoo clinging onto Doyoung who was with Taeil hyung, Lucas, Winwin, Kun and Yuta, Mark is with Jaehyun,Ten and Johnny. I decided to go with Chenle and Jisung to supervise the 2 kids cause god knows what this two will do.

(No one's P.O.V)
While the others were busy playing around, Johnny and Doyoung decided to stray away from the group and go upstairs to explore the house more. As they went up, they saw a sight which they wished they didn't see...the maid was dragging a body. Luckily the maid didn't see them, Johnny went downstairs and Doyoung followed after.

(10 minutes later)

"Dinner is served!" Taeyong loudly announced so the whole group would go to the kitchen and eat. Everything was going well, The dreamies playing around with each other while eating, while the older members ate and talked. That was until, Sarah gave Johnny a letter. Everyone kept quiet and looked at Johnny, waiting for him to open the letter. Johnny opened the letter and read it quietly, suspense building up the atmosphere. Johnny dropped the letter and started coughing up blood, the dreamies freaking out, while Taeil, and the 95 liners helping him out. Doyoung picked up the letter and started reading loudly.

"Poison was put in your drink, unfortunately this will not kill you automatically. Open the dish to find out what your friends needs to do to survive, the poison might not kill you, but your friend might. Time will start once your friends starts to solve the puzzle."

"Johnny was poisoned?!" Taeyong exclaimed

The dreamies, that listened to the letter, opened up the last dish, and to their surprise, it was a human head! The dreamies freaked out even more but Mark looked at the head and took out a note found in between the mouth.

"Guys I found the note" Mark said

"Read it!" Haechan said

"To get rid of the poison you must need 3 antidotes found within the house. You must solve 3 puzzles to get the antidote, one is in the library, the other in the gameroom, and last one, is in this room, the dining room. To solve each one of the puzzles you need a clue, fortunately I will give you a clue...but it might be useless since no one's smart enough to solve it. Good luck.

Clue 1: Look for the symbol of Johnny's cult, it will be the thing you will need.
Clue 2: I wonder why the glasses on the table are different
Clue 3: 6 angels 4 demons and 8 mortals
Clue 4: I like my books mysterious...Maybe a book about mystery will satisfy me
Clue 5: Push the box into the hole, but the only thing to do that is with teamwork
Clue 6: Once someone's pride takes over them, there will be no teamwork
Have fun. You have 15 minutes to save your friend."

Mark gave the note to Haechan and went to a glass holder. The members gave him a weird look.

"Ok so the note stated something about the glasses and while wandering around earlier i saw this glass holder. And we have 15 minutes so split up to solve the puzzle and get the antidote." Mark stated

The dreamies stayed with Mark, The 96 liners, Jaehyun, Kun and Jungwoo went to the library, while Taeil, The 95 liners, Lucas and Winwin went to the gameroom.

The dream members started placing glass from the table onto the glass holder, they needed something to fit the glass holder so they went with the taller glass due to the first one being a tall glass. Within seconds a chest popped open and revealed the antidote, Jisung quickly grabbed it and gave it to Mark, who then let Johnny drink the antidote. The dream members thought it would be better to split up and help the others.
Renjun and Jaemin went to the library, Jeno and Chenle went to the gameroom while Jisung, Haechan, and Mark stayed with Johnny.

The library teams was looking good, they gathered every book with the symbol on it and started deciphering the symbol on the front of the books, they also found a chest with a lock on it that can be unlocked by a code. Doyoung thought the writings looked familiar and flipped the book upside down. And he was right, it was a mix of Hangul, English, Kanji, and Hanzi. Jaemin ran to the gameroom and called Yuta to help them. Jaehyun wrote down the English letters, Renjun and Kun wrote down the Chinese letters, Jungwoo wrote down the Korean letters and Yuta wrote down the Japanese letters. They translated it into Korean and the code spelled antidote. That was the code...with the code they unlocked the chest and got the 2nd antidote! They went back to Johnny and made him drink the 2nd antidote. With only 9 minutes left, they waited for the last antidote. The gameroom team didn't look so good...They had to push a box into the hole to get the antidote, but no one can see where the box is. They were trying really hard until Lucas accidentally pushed the game and it broke, at least they can get the antidote now...They went back to Johnny and made him drink the last antidote. The members rejoiced, they saved their friends with 7 minutes left. That is, until Jack came...

"I'm sorry to tell you this but...you need to find one more antidote" Jack told them

The members looked around the whole 1st floor trying to find the last antidote but it was too late....8 minutes had passed and Johnny had died from poison...

The members gathered around Johnny's corpse, mourning over the death of their friend while Jack stood behind them, smiling victoriously at the success of his murder.
