The Night Awaits

Chapter 4 (The Demon Inside)

"What the hell is that?!" Phillip stammered.

Keiona's Confessional: Out of nowhere, we hear this woman screaming from god knows where.

An old grandfather clock opened all of a sudden. They all quickly investigated it. In the grandfather clock, has a scroll and a ring. "The phantom queen has corrupted one of you." Phillip read. Everyone then gasped after hearing it. "I say its Senna! He brought us here to kill all of us. I mean, look at him. He can't focus, he hasn't solved any clue nor has he been helpful at all. All he does is joke around. He is a burden to our team and I think he needs to go home." Alya snapped. "What do you mean I brought you here? You know exactly what's to come. It's in the letter! Plus, you call me useless but what have you done, huh?!" Senna defended himself. "Dangerous and people dying one by one is different you lunatic!" Nadhira clapped-back.

Phillip's Confessional: I don't know what's happening between them but since they're so distracted, I try to do something with the ring.

While the group continued to argue, Phillip searched around the room and finally matched the ring to the missing hand of the Statue of Liberty. He looked through the ring and revealed something on one of the painting. It revealed arrow keys, 3 ups, and 2 lefts. He followed the steps from the painting and it leads to one of the sofas. "Bertrand, Leonna, Shalom stand up," Phillip commanded. He flipped the sofa upside down and revealed 2 symbols, one on the floor and one below the sofa. The symbol was a heart and a triangle. Even though he did find those symbols, no one had a clue on what to do with it. The group began searching for something that may use those symbols. Shalom had a brilliant idea to take off one of the painting to see behind it. It turns out that behind it has another symbol, a square. The girls began flipping paintings and searched below furniture to see for more symbols while the boys seek for something that can make use of it. "I found something!" Gazel exclaimed. He found symbols on book covers that resemble those on the lounge. Although there were 6 books, the girls only managed to find 5 symbols, square, heart, triangle, pentagon, and circle. "We're missing one!" he continued. It wasn't long before Bertrand managed to find the last symbol, a hexagon, in the grandfather clock.

Bertrand's Confessional: Biiiiiitch, no one tried to check the grandfather clock! It was there the whole time! They can't catch up with all these, honey.

"Try putting the books on those symbols." Rafa insisted. The group started to put the books on each symbol and bam, another painting dropped. Behind the painting has blood writing on it. "Find me." Turo read out loud. After that, the same girl screamed again. "Follow the voice!" Kenzie declared. Everyone followed the voice which leads them to the basement. They entered the basement quietly and saw three women in a circle around the bed with a girl tied on it. "Lrig eht retne ot eeht nommus i, nomed yht ho." the women chanted.

Nashira's Confessional: We saw a girl tied on the bed with three half-naked women. This is some kinky shit y'all

The woman on the bed was begging and screaming for her life. "Please let me go! I want to live." she cried. "So do they!" the 3 women shouted as they stabbed the innocent little woman. The group ran out in fear after what they saw and arrived in the Celtic Exhibit. While everyone was tired and panting, Gazel is just awed by the beauty of the exhibit. Above them, are beautiful visuals made of glass. Phillip noticed that in one of the chalice, has a letter beneath them, R. All of them searched for certain items with letters below them and found 7 letters. Bertrand and Leonna observed the color of the chalices and realised that it can make a gradient if ordered correctly. Leonna quickly ordered them based on color and read the word, Morrigan. Out of no where, a thick purple smoke began polluting the exhibit. The smoke lasted for a while but once it disappeared, so did Senna, Alya, and Shalom.
