Eva stood motionless in horror upon having to witnessed Simon's body laying on top of a long rectangular table with fresh blood dripping at the sides of it. Thought he was unconcious but the sound of his breath could be clearly heard which urged Eva to escalate her steps towards him.

"How did this happened? Why--Who did this to you?" Eva questioned with voice filled with concerned as she hold onto his cold arms

Due to the amount of blood loss, Simon's complexion was getting paler and weak that he have no strength to even gave her a simple reply. All he does was to stare at her with eyes filled with hope that she will be able to safe the rest before they were to end up like him

"I'm gonna help you get out of here. Hold still while I unlock the chains," Eva assured when Simon stopped her by weakly, grabbing onto her fingers

He shook his head from side to side to signal that there was not a need to do so. A little did she realised, his body was being attached with sharp medium size hooks that was deeply pierced all over the sides of his entire body  which explained a lot of the continuous blood dripping.

"Don't...wast..waste..your..time," he told her with eyes looking like as if he was half conscious

"What are you talking about? We have to get out of here," Eva sobbed at the same time figuring out a way on how to remove those hooks 

"The..others...they will get hurt. Safe them...before it's too late," Simon informed, trying to add some sense of urgency in his tone

"Get hurt? What do you mean?" Eva asked in confusion

"There is someone..else in this mansion...he did this..to me,"

Suddenly, the sound of stomping footsteps and steel rubbing against the floor could be heard coming from outside the doors that captured Eva's attention in an instant. She was roused by the sound that brought her heart to . She focused back on Simon when she felt his cold hands touching her arm.

"Go..don't..mind me. Hurry before you're..his next victim," he utteredly weakly with one tear rolling out from his right eye 

"No, Simon I can't just leave you hear," Eva cried as she hold on tight onto his hands

Although she did not know Simon that well since there were not so close in college, she still respect him as a senior and could not bear to leave him in an awful state like this. Only God knows how guilty she felt inside. Eva was startled upon the stomping sound that was getting louder each time.

"It's..not your..fault. I started...this whole thing. I've put everyone at risk.It would..only make sense..if I make some...sacrifices," he lamented 

"But...how could I just leave you here. He will definitely kill you!" Eva insisted

"We all...have to die..someday. Do me a favour will you?"

Immediately, Eva's hazelnut eyes focused on Simon as he struggled himself to speak up, like a fish who was fighting for breath upon being out of the water. Eva brought her ears closer to him.

"It's clear that I...will never...get to see..the light again...

Simon's words totally shattered Eva's heart when she fought back her tears that threatened her so badly. Giving Simon to continue his sentence, she remained silent. The stomping sound could be hear again and it felt like as if the killer was right outside of the door to the room they were in. 

"... *cough* whatever that is going to happen to me, don't show yourself up to help me, keep it only yourself and do not tell the rest about it. If you ever.ha..had a..chance....kill...that..son..of..a..b****h...for me.. I don't care...if I am related..to him...or whether...if I..know him...whoever...is behind that mask...kill..him or make his life a suffering and torturing one. Now go..," Simon instructed

"But Simon--

"There..is an exit..door if you run through...those strip..curtains. Go!" Simon raised his voice in order to safe her

*STOMP!! STOMP!!!! KEYS UNLOCKING* 

"Hurry up!!! He is coming. GO!!!" Simon exclaimed

"Simon please don't do this," Eva lamented sadly 

"The rest...their..lifes are in your hands..GO!"

Eva sobbed as she reversed back her steps slowly feeling so heart broken and bad for not saving him. 

"Whatever you do, don't look back ok?" Simon choked with tears

With a heavy heart, Eva fasten her pace, passing through the strip curtains and hid behind there and try not to move a single muscle to make her presence obvious since the killer was already walking towards Simon. She was lucky that she did not get caught by the killer who was wearing a long black cape complete with a skeleton design mask on his face.

Before she continued her tasks being assigned by Simon, she gave one long, abstracted stare at Simon who was staring back at her. The feeling of watching someone you knew being murdered right in front of your eyes was the most hardest thing anyone in the world could ever go through. From far, Eva watched as the killer began to sharpen the butcher knife and after a few seconds. It was like watching a scene of someone being executed.

"Go~~" Simon signal Eva with his lips, with his eyes swollen because of heavy flowing tears

Eva did what she was being told but kept shedding non-stop tears as many gruesome imagination started to appear in her head upon what the killer was going to do to Simon. Once she was out of there, she took some moments to compose herself while taking a few deep breath to calm herself down to have to witnessed such a horrific scene.

"Sorry Simon, I'm sorry..tsk..tsk..sorry...tsk..," she kept repeating as the trauma started to develop in her

"Mum? Where are you?" claimed Chaerin who had been following the figure who looked like her late mum for the past few minutes

She gave her back head a good scratch when she realised that Jay was not with her and she had no idea where she ended up at. She let out a long exhaustion sighed and decided to head back by trying to remember the route back to where she originally was. Chaerin was strolling along the eerie looking hallway when she heard an infant crying out loud and it was primal. It had a raw intensity to it that told of urgency, of desperate need.

A shadow appeared from one of the doors that got Chaerin wonder who that might be since that person was standing under the dark lights making it complicated for Chaerin to identify.

"Jay, is that you?" she asked, squinting her eyes to get a much better view of her assumption

The person in front of her remain still like a statue and it gave Chaerin one of a kind feeling but made a choice to not believe in her negativity.

"It's got to be one of you guys. Enough with your pranks alright?! Now bloody show yourself, I'm not that dumb," Chaerin assured with hands on her hips

Some movement was being made and she saw something sharp and silver pointing to her direction.

"Really now? Jay, I know it's you, stop messing around alright?" she raged when whoever the unknown person was stepped out from the dark

She was scared stiff upon the unknown's presence standing in front of her .

"Who...wh.who..a.are. you?" Chaerin stuttered in fear 

The sinister smirk being plastered on the skeleton mask man made Chaerin shrink in fear as she slowly reversed her steps backwards, preparing to run for her life. Out of nowhere, the crying could be heard again and a male toddler emerged from behind the killer's cape. 

"Wh..what..are you trying to do?" Chaerin uttered, already drenched in sweat and paralysed with fear when the blade of the sharp, silver kitchen knife in the killer's grip was being positioned at the toddler's neck, waiting for the blade to cut through the flesh.

Like what was being imganied by Chaerin in that imaginative mind of hers, the killer in a split second slashed off the toddler's head causing it roll and landed right before her two black boots with his eyes still wide open. Situation was too gorry too handle that only tears could be expressed on how bad she felt for the poor toddler.

Chaerin felt sick to her stomach at the horrendous sight  when she jumped in fright as the detached head let out a hysterical laugh. 

"You're next! HAHAHAHAHAHHA~~~~~"

"AAAHHHH!!" she yelled her lungs out and ran as fast as her legs could carry with the killer chasing her from the back

The more effort she inserted in her running pace, the more she sense that the killer was closer to her which eventually was true as she made another loud scream when her hair was being pulled harshly backwards. A strangling sensation could be felt when the killer's arm surrounded her neck and threatened her to remain silent by placing the blade near her pulse area.

"Sssshhhhh," warned the killer as Chaerin tried to losen his grip from her neck but unfortunately failed to do so due to the force being inserted between the knife and her flesh

She forced herself not to scream when the killer began to run the knife, following the outline of her face, leaving some blood stains on her fair complexion.

"Any last words?"

"Tsk..tsk...your perfume...it smells familiar..tsk..," Chaerin sobbed

"Pfft....See you in hell," mocked the killer

"NOOO!!!" Chaerin scramed aloud
