The Night Awaits

Chapter 2 (The Lost Tome of Egypt)

Alya's Confessional: Bitch, we literally have arrived here for like 2 seconds and everything is already dying like what the hell?!

"Senna! Khaira! Behind you!" Alya screamed on top of her lungs. The Ferris wheel had stopped from moving to cause the clowns to be unable to kill the guests. Senna and Khaira looked behind them thinking that there are more clowns. Turns out, it's a museum. Museum of the Dead, 1970, it said. They both immediately ran inside to find something to kill those clowns with. They stopped by the entrance and saw something so surreal but is real. It's their dead friends frozen in time in a glass case arranged in a circle with a pentagram in the middle. Below their glass case is written their name and their roles. Phillip, Bertrand, Gazel, Rafa, Nashira, Nadhira, Shalom, and Leonna. In the very middle of the pentagram glows a yellow crystal imbued with magic. "Sen, what do we do?" Khaira asked. Senna looked around and finally seeing a pickaxe. "Sen, what are you doing?" Khaira worried. "Trust me," Senna said as he destroys the crystal with the pickaxe. The crystal exploded causing a huge energy wave to hit the whole town. Every single glass case broke and everyone is now... alive? Everyone looked at everybody to check if this whole thing is real. "What the fuck just happened?!" Phillip exclaimed. "Ayyy, it worked thanks to me!" Khaira laughed. "Please, deh." Senna eye-rolled. "No one has answered my question yet," Phillip confirmed. "Right..." Senna said as he continued to explain what just happened. "So basically this blue ass crystal came to my house telling me to save y'all and I don't know what goes after that so..."

"So you saved us but not really because we don't know how to get out of this place, now do we?" Bertrand sassed.

Bertrand's Confessional: I don't know what just happened but all I remember was my friends and I was in this mansion being killed by a demonic bitch.

"A thank you would be nice but we don't have much time. My friends are out there being killed by clowns." Senna said. They all quickly went outside to see what's happening. Only those who are alive can exit the museum and those who aren't are locked inside by a magic barrier. "Bitch, there's a wall," Nashira spoke. Senna recommended them to stay inside and let him and Khaira save the other friends. They both swiftly murdered some of the clowns but it was too late. "Move one step and one of them dies." One of the clowns snapped, as the rest of them tied his friends to a Merry-Go-Around. "Let's play a game..." the clown laughed. "I'll roll a dice and if it lands on a six, I'll let one of them go. But if it's anything but a six, EVERYONE DIES!" The clown continued. The clown proceeded on rolling the dice. The dice landed on a 4. But before any of the clowns gets to touch his friends, a random man came out from one of the carnivals with a bike and shot every single clown. "Quickly, untie them!" the man commanded. Senna and Khaira untied all their friends before retreating to the museum with the man. "Who is he?" Rafa questioned. The man opened his helmet and inside, was a charming man in the mid-20s with slick and shiny blonde hair. "The name's Maximus." he introduced himself. "I work with the Society Against Evil (SAE) and I'm here to help every one of you to escape this hell hole. The SAE has placed clues and riddles around the museum to help you escape. Come, we enter the lounge where it's supposedly safe." Maximus continued.

Nadhira's Confessional: this random good lookin' ass dude appeared out of the blue to save us. I don't know if I'm supposed to trust him but I'm not dying anymore.

They all quickly made their way to the safe lounge. The lounge itself isn't that bad. It's quite large and cozy. "So, what now?" Gazel asked. "I have this scroll that was located in my exhibit. Maybe this could help." Maximus said as he gave Leonna the scroll.

"Long ago, lived an ancient god named Baphomet. He was known as the King of Gods. it wasn't long before he was revealed that he was working with Hades to gain such immense power. Baphomet was banished from Illyria, Kingdom of Gods forever. As time goes, Baphomet is forever forgotten. Hades, Bearer of Death, came to Baphomet to make a deal. "Rule Hell and all shall be yours." He said. Baphomet wanted nothing but power so without a doubt he agreed. He gained an immense amount of power not even 10 Gods can defeat him. He was capable of turning every God into stones and dust with only a snap. Baphomet commanded his servants to kill SAE members for himself. But after SAE heard of his evil plan, they quickly stopped his bidding. SAE isn't powerful enough to defeat Baphomet so they did their best and lock Baphomet in the Cursed City of Everwood. Now, his servants are searching for souls to break loose his chains. The soul of mortals is kept in the museum of the dead. Using the time crystal, everything has stopped from moving, rotting, or breathing, essentially like statues. Breaking the crystal will not only break free the guests, but also everything kept in the museum. To escape the museum, you must collect all 9 jeweled keys owned by each lieutenant to open Pandora's Box. In the box is the Stone of Life which is powerful enough to alter reality as willed. Your time is limited by sunrise. All will turn to dust if the sun has risen and will forever become Baphomet's servant in hell. Good luck, adventurer." Leonna read the scroll.
