Dear Angels and Demons,
It seems that at lest one of you 10 is awake. Good, good just like I wanted. Now pay attention you are here because of a reason that doesn't concern you. I have my reason for every single one of you, but let me explain what is going on. You are trapped in a big mansion and there is only one exit. The front door is the only way out, but their is always a catch. Find the key with the big star, you will know when you see it. It doesn't sound so bad dose it? Plot twist their is a second catch. 9 of you are innocent, but one of the people here is me. You need to find the key, try to figure out who I am and don't get killed by me, okay?
Hugs and kisses,
The Helper
