CHAPTER 5


Johnny reunited with Tommaso, chuckled slightly when his best friend kept staring at the old portrait.

"Do you by chance know him?"

Tommaso shook his head, "I don't. It's just...weird that the man in this portrait was suddenly smiling." He uttered slowly.

"That's impossible, you're imagining things, Ciampa." Johnny reacted but the Black Heartfelt like he's not wrong.

Dakota tried to pull Tyler Breeze but he's too heavy for her own good. When Dakota saw the two, she immediately shouted at them.

"Care to help us?"

--

Tegan Nox carefully followed Kay Lee Ray who's still mumbling Shotzi's name when she suddenly runs. She's about to run after her when a frame of class picture caught her attention.

She picked it up above the drawer, and she suddenly got goosebumps because there's a person in there that looks like her co-wrestler.

"Is this...Marcel Barthel?" She uttered, she felt her feet move on its own making her way downstairs.

Meanwhile, Mia is getting scared because it feels like she's hearing weird noises but she can't pinpoint where and who it was.

"Keith...I'm scared."

"Ssssh, don't say anything. What if they'll hear us?" Keith Lee mumbled, their heart dropped when Shayna screamed while opening the door, "THERE YOU ARE!"

"Go back to the dining, everyone's there," Shayna said, making the two followed her while exiting the room.

-

Shayna saw a ladder near the attic, she smirked as she smelled a familiar scent, "The Undisputed Era huh?"

She checked up on the attic and screamed when she caught the 3/4 of the Undisputed Era.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

"THE HELL SHAYNA!"

"YOU F*CKING SCARED US!"

"Hurry up boys, I almost caught everyone. That leaves...Damian Priest, Kay Lee Ray, and Candice LeRae."

"That's amazing..." Adam Cole praised, carefully walking down from the attic.

"So where are we going to meet everyone?" Roderick asked.

"Dining area." Shayna simply replied.

Kyle couldn't help but take the love letters with him, saying he's going to show it to Bobby Fish later.

--

"Sister Candice, to tell you the truth I'm adopted...they were never nice to me."

Candice stared at him with pity in her eyes. The young man continues, "They keep hurting me whenever I made a mistake..."

"Why?" Candice curiously asked.

"I don't get it either...but then one day I realized that they were different..."

"How are they different?"

--

Shotzi went upstairs shouting Damian's name when Kay Lee Ray's head turned around after hearing her voice.

Damian Priest went outside of the room, searching for someone when he witnessed Kay Lee Ray stabbing Shotzi with her knife.

"Woah! Are you guys playing right now? It looks so real!" Damian praised, clapping his hands.

Kay Lee Ray immediately runs after seeing Damian Priest.

"Where is she running off to?" Damian asked no one in particular, he laughed once more when he reached the dining area.

"Hey guys, you won't believe what I saw! Shotzi and Kay Lee Ray were playing killers and victims. They're so damn childish!" Damian shared with everyone.

"And the children play once again..." Kyle humor, Adam, and Roderick laughed at his joke.

Keith Lee's hands interlaced together nervously, "Why don't we check it out?"

His co-wrestlers followed him leaving Io who's still eating food. Fabian resting his foot. Dream and Toni were left with them, feeling restless after what they saw for that night.

Everyone stormed to the second floor and someone's corpse was the first thing they saw, reaching the hallway.

"OH MY GOSH...IS THAT SHOTZI!!!"

Since the boys don't want to check on her, Rhea decided to approach Shotzi and grabbed her wrist.

"She's dead," Rhea announced and sighed. Everyone was shocked and terrified at the news, all eyes filled in fright.

"Shotzi!" Mia and Dakota cried out.

"Holy crap! Who did this?!" Adam cluelessly questioned.

Everyone looked at each other. Nobody knows who did it until,

"It's Kay Lee Ray!" Damian spoke up.

"What?!" Tyler's violent reaction as he couldn't believe it.

Keith furrowed his brows and turned to Damian, "Maybe it's you!"

"WHAT?! Believe me! It's Kay Lee Ray! I'm telling the truth. I saw her!"

"Liar! if you saw her killing Shotzi, then why didn't you stop her?" Roderick questioned.

"Look, I thought it's not real. Believe me, I thought she's just playing with a fake knife."

"How can we believe you! No one even saw you! You are a liar!" Adam yelled.

"YOU KILLED SHOTZI!" Kyle added.

"He's a killer!" Roderick announced, pointing out Damian.

Damian shook his head, rolling his eyes at the fact nobody's on his side. The others joined in and started accusing him that made Damian walks out from the area.

"HEY! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!" Rhea shouted but too late, Damian's nowhere to found.

"Hey guys, I couldn't find Candice." A voice boomed as she came out from a room, it was Shayna. "Crap! What happened to Shotzi?!"

"We found her dead. We don't know who did it." Tommaso told her.

The Undisputed Era looked at each other and placed their sight on their co-wrestler.

"Maybe it's you, Shayna!" The three gentlemen accused in unison.

"WHAT? HEY! Watch your mouths!" Shayna glared at the Undisputed Era. "I didn't do anything! I was busy looking for Candice!"

"She's hiding under the....." Johnny couldn't able to complete the sentence when he suddenly ran, heading to the room where they hide during the game.

The rest followed Johnny's footsteps and they didn't found her under the bed.

"Candice?! Candice, where are you?!" Johnny desperately yelled, searching everywhere at the four corners of the room.

Keith, Mia, The Undisputed Era, and Raquel started helping Johnny to find her.

"G-guys," Everyone turned around to Tegan when she called out, her eyes were staring at the picture frame she's holding all the time.

"Guys, this woman looks like Shotzi."

Rhea and Walter furrowed their brows and took a peak as well.

"Look at this man," Walter pointed at the other side. "He's like the carbon copy of Marcel."

"What?! I didn't know Marcel and Shotzi were classmates during their high school days." Roderick commented.

"I beg to differ, Roddy." Adam shook his head. "That picture came from the future! They're from the future! They used a time machine!"

"Wow! So that means they are time travelers?!" Kyle exclaimed.

"Shut up, idiots! Stop talking nonsense!" Shayna scolded the most dominant group in NXT.

"Something's wrong. A while ago, Shotzi or her lookalike wasn't there yet." Tegan explained.

"I'm scared guys. What the hell is happening?" Mia gulped, slinging her arms on Keith's.

"Candice....WHERE'S CANDICE?!" Johnny suddenly yelled and left the room.

"JOHNNY!" Adam called out, voice filled with worry, that made Roderick rolled his eyes.

3/4 of the Undisputed Era followed Johnny Gargano. While on the way, Roderick bumped into someone and it was Dexter Lumis, making the sketchbook dropped on the floor.

Roderick drifted his sight on the sketchbook. His eyes widen when he noticed the number 30 turned into number 29.

"WAIT FOR ME!" Roderick exclaimed in fright as he hurriedly ran away.-

Back on the room,

"Johnny's searching out for Candice. Why are we still here?" Dakota uttered, crossing her arms.

"What about Shotzi?" Mia asked.

"Let's go back to the kitchen and tell Bobby everything," Tegan suggested and the girls, Walter and Keith hurriedly went downstairs.

"Can someone give me a hand?" Tyler begged as he saw his co-wrestlers walking down the stairs.

"I don't hear anything!" Dakota said and ran to the kitchen.

Keith Lee gave Tyler Breeze a hand and help him to stand up. Everyone reached the kitchen and noticed Nia, Dana, Mustafa, and Drew weren't there.

"WHAT?!" Bobby's violent reaction after they revealed the news.

Johnny, Adam, Roddy, and Kyle reached the garden but Candice was still nowhere to be found.

The vintage letters dropped on the grass so Kyle picked it up and noticed Cameron and Chelsea's figure, on the fountain.

Kyle furrowed his brows and chuckled, "Fountain. I never thought it's a good place to make love."

Kyle went inside the mansion as he followed Johnny.

-

"AAAAAAAAHHH"

-

While still on the second floor, Dexter picked his sketchbook up and the number suddenly turned into 28.
