The Night Awaits

Chapter 11 (Not So Fun-House)

"Is it even worth for us to try and get all the 7 crystals? It's not like any of us are gonna leave anyways." Phillip asked. "Who knows what games they have for us. If we give up now, our friends died for nothing." Bertrand answered. "Look, the painting has changed!" Diana pointed. "It's the map of Everwood! Right now we're at the museum and I believe we're supposed to go to the funhouse." Rafa investigated. "I can't believe you guys." Phillip sighed. They decided to follow the map and went outside, to the funhouse.

Nashira's Confessional: We were just having fun going to the funhouse and this 4-foot girly doll came chasing us with a bloody knife.

The group then got separated in two, Phillip, Bertrand, and Nashira found themselves in the dollhouse whereas Gazel, Nadhira, Rafa, and Keiona arrived in the funhouse. "Where did the others go? Aren't we suppose to meet up here?" Gazel panted. "All I know is that we don't have much time before the bitch doll appears again," Nadhira answered as they went in the funhouse. "There will be 4 rooms, each with different games. A person will come to the elevator and arrive in a random room. One person will only have 5 minutes to be in a room and they have to switch rooms. Every 10 minutes, the doll will come into a random room and capture one of you." Keiona read the rules of the game. "I'll go first." Rafa volunteered. He enters the elevator and arrived in the balloon filled candy room. He noticed that there was a box stuck to the wall with a 4 numbers lock. While he popped all the balloons, Nadhira arrived in the same room with him. She helped him pop the balloons and collect the 4 numbers. Rafa then mismatched the numbers and it finally opens. Turns out it wasn't a box, it was a small window connected to the next room which was the upside-down house. "Gazel, Keiona, we need a ladder to go up this thing!" he waved his hands through the very small window. "We have a ladder but we need 2 candles. Do you see any candles in your room?" Keiona yelled. Nadhira quickly found the two candles and traded it with the ladders from the room across. Rafa and Nadhira climbed and opened the upside-down door and arrived in another room called "Winter Wonderland." While Rafa could observe around, the elevator began ringing which means its time for him to move. He arrived in the lava room with Keiona. "Did you finish your room?" Rafa asked. "Of course!" she replied. Rafa told her that they need to throw the rocks in the volcano without stepping on the lava. With only 2 more rocks needed to be thrown, the doll appeared and dragged Keiona by her hair to a cage located in front of the funhouse. Rafa finishes the game and left the funhouse. He met Gazel and Nadhira in the entrance of the funhouse, trying to break free Keiona from her cage. "We'll find a way to get you out of here, okay Kei?" Rafa comforted her prior to leaving to search the rest.

"I hate this place." Nashira disgusted. The dollhouse isn't what they thought it was. It was filled with a jar full of blood, torture methods, and dolls with missing body parts. They spot a chopped off hand in a glass case with a clue on it. "Complete the torture of dolls to open the glass casket." they read. They looked around and realized that the dolls aren't fully executed. Nashira went to the guillotine one, Phillip went to the burn on stake, while Bertrand went to the drowning dolls section. "To complete this execution method, put the doll on the guillotine and slash its head off." Nashira read. Then, she completed the task with ease before going to Bertrand. "Blood itself is too thick to drown a doll. You must find a way to sink the doll without putting your hands in the acidic blood." Bertrand read. Nashira and he took all small but heavy kinds of stuff and tied it to the doll so its mass can carry itself down the blood. Once they completed it, they went to Phillip. His task is to burn the doll to ashes so he did it quick and easy without the help of Nashira nor Bertrand. The glass case opened but also a jug full of tar. Before going to the hand, they went to the tar to investigate it. "Inside is a coin of Lazarus which can be used on the rainiest of days when three is collected." they read the clue on the tar jug. Phillip quickly put his hand to the tar and took the coin after a while. Not long after, two dolls come bashing in the dollhouse and captured both Bertrand and Nashira while Phillip hides behind a drawer. The Mobster took a closer look of the hand and discerned that it's an object needed in the death challenge so he took it and ran. As he went outside, he heard the yelling of Rafa, Gazel, and Nadhira running away from two more killer dolls. "Phillip, run!" they shouted from afar as Gazel and Nadhira is being captured.
