It left just y/n and Iris, the two surviving acquaintes. But what if the story has more to it? The murder of her friends, the discovery of horrific things in Iris's basement, which leads to the kidnapping. How's she going to get through this? What secret about Iris will she uncover? WARNING: gore, sexual content, cursing also I wrote this story a while ago and looking back on it, it's not written the best.
