Irene screamed.

"Celina, she is missing!" She said after awile. Noone payed much attention to her.

"She must have gone to the bathroom or something." Jace said. He didn't think much of that. He liked exploring, yet solving wasn't really his thing. Ruby and Harry on the other hand jumped up out of the rocking chairs they were in. They tried convincing everyone.

"Your mental." Teddy said. After what seemed like forever, they gave up.

"Well if you guys aren't going to look for her I will. See you in an hour!" Irene marched off and they couldn't help feeling suspicious, but they started to think everyone else was right.

An hour had passed. Celina wasn't back. Nether was Irene.

Everyone got nervous right away. That's when the note came. Ruby ran to get it. She read the note and passed it to Harry. He read it shock. Camri saw the look on his face and took the note from the two, read it, and just like it was on fire, she passed it screaming, to Jace. He chuckled.

"Your friends are stuck in a box, we have hidden a key in your dinner. Look. This isn't real. They just wanna prank us."

"L-look on the b-back Jace." Loretta stuttered.

"Each hour that passes before you solve it another one of your friends are captured." It read. He flipped it over again to the front.

"Jace," Harry said "Could you at least help us look? If it isn't there, we will give up and wait." Jace smiled.

"If there is one thing I'm good at it is looking for something."

They ate and ate till Jace spotted something in Veronica's slice of pie. He was hesitant to point it out, knowing what this meant. She pulled it out. Ash and Landon looked as if they were gonna run away but were paralyzed with fear. Camri and Loretta looked like they were either going to scream or throw up. Ashley looked away from the key, as if it were gonna kill her if she didn't.

"Told you so,"Ruby said to Jace. After a moment of silence they all ran to every room in the building, Jace, Ashley, Harry, and a few others leading them. Loretta stayed behind clutched the doorknob in her hands and turned it.

But they were long gone by then.

They opened one door and Camri nearly fainted. They heard screams coming from two boxes. They inserted the key to both doors. Irene and Celina were were shook. Celina was leaning onto a pillar for support. After all, she was in there for 2 hours. She wasn't ready for anything to happen. She just wanted to go home and yell till her face turned red. Irene was only in the box for 1 hour, so she had less time in it. But the feelings were mutual.

"Thank god that's over." Ashley said as she rushed to the door, but some thing made her stop dead in her tracks. Loretta was lying dead on the floor with the words who is next on the door. Ashley turned the knob but nothing happened. Then she noticed something.

"It's written in blood."

It killed me to kill her of so soon... 😣😭🤒😔😢
