Who Will Escape?

Onto The Next Gem

Kyler's sitting on the couch, between Brynn and Kiersten, trying to process what's happen so far tonight.

Kyler
Everything happened so fast; one minute, we were having fun and enjoying the party like normal people, and now...Wyatt's dead, there's a Sorceress around and so many more of us will have to die!

"Here's the thing." Shangag's trying to keep his voice steady, but Mary's known him for too long to fall for it.

Mary
He's just as terrified as the rest of us.

"I'm trying to get back to 2018. We've got to find the rest of the gems and those seven artifacts, or...we can't go home. That's really what it comes down to." He tells the group. Octavia, hilarious as she is, is not helping the group's nerves "Well, people gon' die—maybe we can just decide who all gon' die.". "Girl, No!" Bryan gasps with a small giggle, trying to stay positive despite their situation. Mary shoots a quick smile his way. Even though the note was real—people really got to die—she know she still got Bryan on her side."People are going to die, regardless," says Tim "It said that we have to vote people in to do the challenges, as we did already once. I guess it just depends on us to decide which one of our friends we think should face death..." Tim's words sent an uncomfortable vibe throughout the group.

Sarah
But I have had enough talk of death and dying for one evening, thanks.

"I just want to get the hell out of here," she snaps "I've already cried for one person, but for the deaths to come...There'll just be more tears." She gestures her hands about. "Then I guess we might have to come to an agreement. No hard feelings." Amarie bluntly says and everyone starts yelling.
"That's completely heartless."
"She might have a point"
"We can't promise that everyone will be on the safe side!"
"So were basically agreeing that we might kill one another?"
"This is unbelievable!"

Cassidy
Everyone else is panicking and debating what to do next..I just wanna go home

"What do we know so far?" asks Nyadhol, trying to gather everyone's attention. Olivia sucks in a breath "Okay, well, we just received this goblet. That's all that we have so far.." she complies. "So what's our next clue?" Kiersten asks, then proceeds to check the gem map. Rita joins her and examines the token "It looks like some sort of like cloud you guys.." her voice trails off in curiosity. "Is it heaven? If that's our next stop then that's where I get off." Octavia comments as she joins them at the gem map "Oh most definitely Tay." Bryan playfully rolls his eyes and there's some small giggles from the group. "So we've got to look for a clue then or something." Cole adds on. "Okay, you know what?" says Tamaya, Being in the center of the group, "I think that we should just, like, start looking now y'all.". Rita squirms in her seat, the panic on her face giving way to a resigned determination "So should we just split up?". "I think we should split up guys," Amarie agrees, "No!" Kyler shakes her head, holding her tiara "Splitting up is never a good idea, okay?". "How much time do we have?" asks Brynn, already forgetting some details. "We have until the sun comes up. And then at Midnight things will change" Shay responds, her voice a little quiet and filled with fear. Nyadhol's standing behind Shay, eyes wide, mouth open "What? Y'all must be joking!". "We have the one night," says Daniel, with a mixture of determination and sadness "Or no one makes it home and there'll be no home to get back to.". Cassidy stands up, dusting off her outfit "Why are we standing here? Let's do it.". "We need a clue," says Octavia and seconds after her remark, Thomas notices a box outside one of the doors. "What is it Thomas?" Bryan asks, noticing Thomas's gaze out the door. Without answering, Thomas approaches the door and carefully opens it. He sees a giant wooden box, looking around each corner of the house before picking it up with caution. He brings it inside and places the box on the table, and Kai instinctively steps away.
