It was the night of the 23rd of October when the staff members arrived at an old mansion, which was in the middle of the woods. They had decided it was time for a small break, a time to relax and have some fun together. They thought it was a great idea to go to a place away from everything and also in the mood of Halloween, so they visited a mansion which was recommended.

They were standing in the hall, their bags and suitcases laid on the floor as everyone was just looking around.

"Alright, so..." Neon walked in front of the others and immediately gained the attention. "We are with twelve and there are six rooms. I think it would be obvious we will need to pair up in two. I thought-"

"Dibs on Lizzy," Soul chuckled and wrapped an arm around them as they ruffled their hair, which caused Lizzy to laugh softly. 

"I will take Baby Bear," Alicia announced as she poked Sylvie repeatedly. 

"Shut the hell up."

"I will be with Sylver," Joker whistled playfully, then wheezed as always. Sylver was holding his ukulele, a smile on his face as he nodded and started playing a little on it. "I don't care."

"Okay," Neon grabbed the attention again as she sighed. Joker rolled his eyes as Alicia kept on poking Sylvie's stomach. "I will then go with Mai, Sydne with Jubilee, and Variak can go with King, alright?" Everyone nodded in satisfaction, except for Variak who was placing her lemons on the counter in the hall.

Soon enough, everyone had chosen their rooms and was prepared to go to bed. It had been a long trip anyway, and unpacking was an energy draining act as well. Unfortunately, no one ever expected what would happen the next day.

It was morning. Everyone had already woken and started on breakfast, except for Joker and Sylver. Everyone thought they were just casually sleeping in, until Joker stormed into the diner room.

"Guys! You seriously won't believe this," he said as he had tears in his eyes.

They all went up to Joker's room, but when they got there, they viewed the scariest sight possible. It was Sylver laying on the ground, his ukulele broken and blood spread on the ground.

Everyone was silent; not because of the sight, but of what was written in his blood on the floor:

"Challenge Me."
