Before the guests arrived.

A woman had a huge mansion. It was the most beautiful in all the land, however that brought her danger. Many people tried to kill her so they could take everything in it for themselves.

The woman walks out of her home, and goes for a walk along the river. As she is walking, a man jumps from behind a bush.

He whacks her over the head with a stick, and stabs her in the stomach. He runs off, towards her home.

A cloaked figure approaches the dying woman.

"You will die," he says. "But I can give you life after death."

She looks at him, terrified.

"Just spin it upside-down," he says. He holds out a stone with a cross on it.

She takes it, and spins the cross upside-down. The blood from her stomach starts to bubble, and she begins coughing out smoke.

The man who attacked the woman runs into her house, but instead of it being a beautiful home, it's a dusty mess. He walks around and looks for anything nice.

He then hears footsteps and giggling.

"Who's there?" he calls out.

He looks into the mirror and sees his reflection. He turns his back to the mirror, but the reflection doesn't. His face in the mirror begins to grin, and it transforms into an old woman.

Without him noticing, she creeps out of the mirror, then hisses as he grabs his head and sinks her teeth into his skull.

"So what now?" Sophie asks.

"I'd like to point out that I am the only guy left," Llama says.

"I mean you literally killed one of them yourself," Amelia mocks.

"Amelia shut up please," Llama yells.

"Enough!" Lizzie yells. "Look, I know we have had our differences, and we have both killed each other's friends, but we should all be a team!"

Amelia and Llama both look at each other.

"We are all in the same position," Lizzie says. "We need to do things to survive, so we should be working together. Nobody should be happy to see somebody die."

"She's right," Sophie says.

"Okay..." Amelia agrees. "You're right, Lizzie."

"I guess so..." Llama says.

Llama and Amelia shake hands.

"Thank god," Sophie says. "Now we can actually continue."

Sophie notices that the bottom of the glass is a star shape, and then she also sees a table with a star shaped imprint.
