Samantha took a leisurely walk through the busy streets, enjoying some classic tunes through her headphones. Her first stop was the post office, where she planned to deliver mail to her sister, her sister's friends, and her roommate.

After completing the first part of her journey, Samantha realized she needed to get ready. Perhaps a new look could help her feel better than she currently does. She pondered about her friends and family and the possibility of death, which could potentially lead to future post-traumatic stress disorder. She speculated that she might have already experienced it at some point in her life, so a change could potentially transform everything.

(Author's Note: Don't expect me to describe the complete outfits of these characters. I can't describe anything to save my life, even if I try. So, either search for the outfits from the show or use your imagination.)

After changing into her new look, she felt a greater sense of pride and confidence in this mission than she had previously.

Samantha gathered her courage and prepared herself to embark on a journey to Everlock. Her determination was fueled by the desire to save the town and, in the process, protect her friends and family from meeting a tragic fate right before her eyes. She had two crucial missions: to rescue the town and ensure the safety of the others.

It was all or nothing......

"I have a letter for you," the mailman said, handing the letter to Amber with a cheerful smile. She appeared visibly confused, unsure about the reason behind receiving it.

"Who the fuck is sending me a letter? Does it look like I wanted this, bitch?" Amber says, which catches the mailman off guard by her sudden mood change.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"My friends, I'm embarking on an extraordinary adventure, and I need your help, as do hundreds of others," Ethan announced, reading the note aloud to himself and Chad.

"Oh my god, we're going to be like Batman and Superman," Ethan exclaimed cheerfully, his mind filled with positive thoughts about the note and the upcoming adventure.

"Anything involving Sam is never quite like Batman or Superman adventure, sadly, Bud," Chad remarked, gently patting Ethan's shoulder. As Ethan contemplated Chad's comment further, his initial excitement about the idea began to diminish.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"This isn't an invitation to a ball or a dinner party. It's an invitation to undertake a perilous mission," Wes stated, reading the note while still wrapped in a towel after coming out of the shower. His voice carried a sense of uncertainty and concern regarding what they might encounter during the adventure.

Due to his mom's constant warnings about the dangers of the outside world and the need to be armed and prepared for anything, Wes developed a unique perspective on the world, different from others. It influenced his thinking and made him more cautious and aware of potential risks.

Feeling uncertain still, Wes looked over the note once again, hoping to find additional details or clues about the mission. He sought any information that could provide him with a clearer understanding of what lay ahead.

"It may sound impossible, but there's a town trapped in the 1970s, and very soon, everyone in it will be dead unless we do something about it," Quinn revealed, her eyes widening as she absorbed the astonishing concept described in the letter.

"Sam, what have you been taking, and where can I get some at?" Quinn playfully mused to herself, lightening the mood with a touch of humor.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"There's a dark séance that will transport us back in time, but for it to succeed, we must embody the personalities of that era and dress accordingly. Remember, nothing from the modern world can accompany us," Anika read aloud the instructions from the note, choosing to do so in the solitude of her room rather than with Mindy. Anika loved Mindy dearly, but she also knew that Mindy had a tendency to overthink and analyze things, and she needed a break from that for just one day.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"The people of Everlock will be familiar with their roles and their place, while we will operate without knowledge or understanding of what lies ahead," Mindy stated, her expression filled with intrigue as she contemplated the means to save the town and the reasons behind their urgent mission. Upon grasping the significance, Mindy hurriedly approached Anika, eager to share her theories about the town and delve into further research together.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"To complete our mission, Sam," Tara uttered, her tone reflecting her dissatisfaction with the entire concept. It wasn't that she didn't want to spend time with her sister, but she simply didn't resonate with the idea and felt a sense of unease about it.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The entire group eventually reached a consensus and agreed to go, primarily due to Tara's pleading. She didn't want her sister to venture into the unknown town alone, and she also desired a break from the potential hours-long conversations they might have during the journey.

As they arrived at their destination at different times, each using their means of transportation, Quinn found herself in an awkward situation. She had to share a ride with her brother and Chad, which led to an uncomfortable drive for Quinn. Throughout the drive, she couldn't help but notice Ethan and Chad subtly flirting with each other, oblivious to the fact that they were clearly in love with each other.

Liv embraced her role and decided to roller-skate her way to Everlock, finding it a fun and unique way to reach their destination. With a sense of adventure and a touch of whimsy, she gracefully maneuvered on her skates, enjoying the journey as much as the destination.

Anika and Mindy embarked on their journey to Everlock together, riding a bike that Anika had stumbled upon. Anika thought it would be a fun way to arrive, and despite initial reservations, Mindy couldn't resist Anika's adorable expression and ultimately agreed to the idea. Side by side on the bike, they pedaled their way toward their destination, sharing laughs and creating cherished memories along the way.

Wes is here by himself since nobody wants to go with him, or they already have a ride or their mode of transportation.

Tara took the wheel, insisting on driving herself and Amber to the location. Her determination to be in control of the situation was met with approval from Amber, who found Tara's assertiveness attractive. Additionally, Amber had no desire to provoke Tara and potentially face the consequences. Or, in other words, get her ass kicked.

The group exchanged looks and then nodded in agreement before heading toward Everlock. They knew there was no turning back at this point.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

"Where's Sam?" Liv inquired, glancing around the group gathered around a small fire in the middle of the night. Some members of the group appeared to be shivering, battling the biting cold.

"I haven't seen her or some of you since we left Woodsboro," Wes replied, a sense of concern evident in his voice. The group exchanged glances, a moment of silence passing between them. The only ones who had kept in touch were Amber and Tara, as they were not only best friends but also in a romantic relationship.

"To be honest, I just wanted to see Tara," Amber confessed, snuggling closer to Tara's side. The group couldn't help but giggle and laugh, some rolling their eyes playfully at the obvious answer. The lighthearted moment brought them a sense of warmth and camaraderie amidst the chilly surroundings.

"And why does she have to meet us here? Like, where exactly is this town?" Amber remarked, glancing around the ground sarcastically. Her question hinted at a hint of frustration, questioning the specific location where they were supposed to meet Sam.

"Maybe it wasn't Sam who sent us the letter. I mean, I came for the town, but where exactly is it?" Mindy pondered aloud, prompting Chad to groan knowingly, aware of his sister's penchant for mysteries and enigmas.

"It's getting too cold. If she doesn't show up soon, we should leave before we freeze our buns off," Ethan declared, prompting the group to nod in agreement. Just as they were about to take action, Sam suddenly appeared out of nowhere, walking towards the group.

"Hey, guys!" Samantha greeted cheerfully, causing everyone to yell her name in surprise. Quinn and Tara rushed forward, embracing Samantha in a warm hug, expressing their joy at seeing her. The others waved in greeting while Amber offered a forced smile, hinting that some tension from Woodsboro still lingered between them.

Samantha smiled at everyone and expressed her uncertainty about whether or not they would show up.

"Are you okay?" Tara asks gently, but Samantha responds by embracing her to help calm her nerves.

"So, tell us about this town," Wes inquired, leaning forward with evident intrigue. He wanted to know if it was safe for them to venture into its depths.

"Uh, so, I need your help. I don't have all the details on how we'll get there, but I was given this," Samantha explained, her voice filled with a sense of urgency as she showed them the bag with a weird-looking cult-ish symbol. The gravity of the situation captured everyone's attention, and a solemn silence descended as they focused intently on the weighty task at hand.

"Apparently, there are items in here that will aid us in gaining access to the town and ultimately saving it," Samantha stated, holding the bag in the center as she extracted a scroll, some salt, and other essential items. Among them were instructions, which Anika promptly took into her hands, ready to study them carefully.

"Those who wish to journey back in time and enter the town of Everlock must be possessed by a spirit that once resided there," Anika read aloud from the instructions. The mention of spirits and time travel caused a wave of concern to ripple through the group. 

Mindy's voice echoes through the group as she exclaims, "SPIRITS!?" Her excitement overpowers any fear she may have felt at the mention of the supernatural.

"Maybe this could be fun, guys. I mean, I've done wilder things before," Quinn remarked, a playful smile on her face. Her comment elicited laughter from the group, with Ethan's face twitching in mock disgust at the joke. The lighthearted moment helped alleviate some of the tension.

"Time is crucial, everyone," Sam declares, cutting through the cheerful ambiance. All attention shifts to Anika, eagerly awaiting her next course of action.to take next.

Anika begins by explaining the rules to the group. The objective is to create a salt circle and place five crystals from the bag at the center. The group is required to hold hands and chant a specific phrase during the process.

"From across the veil of death, I request your presence, so I might make wrong things right. Enter into that I might see the doorway to Everlock," Samantha recited, her voice steady. As she finished the incantation, green smoke emerged from the fireplace and enveloped each person, seemingly collecting their souls to proceed further. The mystical energy swirled around as everybody screamed in pain from how the green smoke felt.

(Author's Note: I don't want to delve into the details of the scene; it would sound strange and awkward to me. So, be glad I didn't provide any explanation, even though it's one of the most unique and unusual scenes in the entire show.)

After the strange seance, everyone took a moment to catch their breaths. Samantha directed their attention toward the town of everlock that had suddenly appeared before them.

As they strolled toward the town, marveling at its exterior, a clown suddenly leaped out from behind the red curtains that had concealed its presence. The unexpected sight startled the group, causing them to jump back in fright and let out startled screams. The commotion caused Tara, being the smallest among them, to nearly trip over everyone in her attempt to evade the clown.

"It's your lucky day! The carnival is in town!" the clown exclaimed, jumping and laughing with glee. Samantha couldn't help but reassess the life choices that had led her to this particular moment, contemplating the curious and unexpected turn of events that lay ahead.

"We have a strong man, a snake woman, and dolls with knives! It's like a bloody Christmas every day!" the clown proclaimed, bursting into laughter once again. The group, including Mindy, couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, unsure of how to react to the clown's macabre sense of humor. The peculiar and unsettling nature of the situation lingered in the air, creating a mix of amusement and unease.

"We will be friends soon! I've got a good feeling about that. Enjoy the ride." The clown says with an unsettled look before opening the curtains showing what is held right in front of them

"Sorry, did this fugly clown just..." Amber began to say. Her gaze fixated on the grinning clown, who seemed to revel in mischief.

"That was a compliment, by the way. Did she just say dolls with knives?!" Amber exclaimed, holding onto Tara's arm for reassurance. 

"What is there to save? They all look fine and seem to be having a good time," Quinn questioned, observing the townspeople engaged in lively activities such as playing games and enjoying carnival rides. The scene before them resembled a typical carnival, leaving the group puzzled about the need for their intervention.

Despite being at a carnival where anything can happen, people are still startled when they encounter a woman with a spider emerging from her mouth. Although the woman appears unfazed, onlookers react with screams and shock as they back away. screams and shock as they back away.

As Ethan and Anika retreated, visibly distressed, Quinn's attention was drawn to a man who had caught her eye. The other two individuals remained locked in a tight embrace.

"Hey there, Skirt. How are you?" The man complimented Quinn, who tried to maintain a sense of aloofness.

"Hey, how's it going, Guy?" Quinn flirts back with a playful smile as the group keeps walking ahead.

"Where are you going tonight?" The man asks her as she just shrugs her shoulders with the same playful smile.

Mindy inquires about the identity of the man who interrupted whatever interaction he and Quinn were having. Mindy inquires about the man who has interrupted the interaction between him and Quinn.

"I'm Mortimer. Why don't you guys just play some games and have a good time before my mom shows up, you know?" Mortimer says while holding a rose.

"You're a mama's boy?" Quinn asked, her expression displaying disappointment. She didn't particularly favor the idea of someone being overly attached to their mother, as stereotypes often painted such individuals as being too dependent or lacking independence.

Mortimer proudly proclaims that his mother is the mayor, eliciting impressed reactions from the group. They then proceed to explore the town, engaging in various activities such as playing games, winning prizes, and socializing with other individuals.

Anika, Mindy, and Chad engaged in a tossing game together. To everyone's delight, Chad emerged victorious and won a pink pony named Blanche as a prize. This unexpected outcome prompted Anika and Mindy to giggle with amusement, sharing in the lighthearted moment.

"So, now that we're here, what do we do?" Tara inquired of her sister while Quinn stood by their side. The three of them had separated from the rest of the group, seeking a moment of privacy to discuss their next course of action.

"I'm not sure," Sam admits, feeling confused about whether the two people from her dream led her to the right place or if she was tricked into some kind of witchcraft scheme.

"Does this town even need saving?" Tara questioned, her disbelief evident in her voice. Doubt had crept into her mind, causing her to question the necessity of their mission. 

"Smile if you need saving," Quinn asked a random girl, noticing her smiling at them. As Quinn posed the question, the girl continued to smile, not offering a verbal response. This unconventional reaction left the three of them feeling a mix of awkwardness and confusion, causing them to laugh awkwardly in response.

"Well, she smiled!" Quinn pointed out, her smile fading as she acknowledged the girl's reaction.

Tara approached Amber and Ethan, who was engrossed in a conversation about random topics before Tara joined them. Curious to be part of the discussion, Tara inserted herself into their conversation, eager to contribute and catch up on what they had been discussing.

"If we're here to save the town, how can we utilize our talents to assist?" Amber posed a relevant and insightful question. 

"Because, like, as a dancer, I can't do much except boogie my way out of trouble," Amber quipped, injecting a touch of humor into the conversation. Her lighthearted joke elicited laughter from both Tara and Ethan, creating a moment of levity amidst the weighty topic at hand.

"I can mix things," Ethan chimed in, rejoining the conversation.

"Yeah, Tara, have you ever attempted any spy work?" Amber asked, playfully teasing Tara, fully aware that she had likely not engaged in such activities before. 

"This is my first job," Tara stated a hint of sarcasm in her tone despite her attempt to sound serious. 

Ethan grimly states, "Well, it seems like we're in a difficult situation."

Ethan informed the girls that he was going to have a conversation with Mindy, Anika, and Chad. The girls exchanged a knowing glance, hinting at a shared understanding or inside joke. This gesture puzzled Ethan, but he shrugged it off and proceeded to walk over to the three individuals.

As he prepares to speak with them, he notices Chad jumping and screaming, drawing the attention of the three toward the source of his alarm.

"I apologize. I was startled," Chad explains, glancing at a woman who appeared to be acting suspiciously and trying to conceal something.

"Jesus fucking Christ," Mindy exclaimed, startled by the sudden scream that her brother had let out.

"Let me put my skills as a jet-setter to use and have a conversation with her, guys," Anika proposed, taking the lead as she approached the lady. Mindy, Ethan, and Chad followed closely, accompanying Anika from the side.

"Hello, Bonjour," Anika greeted the lady with an exaggerated accent, adding a touch of theatrics to her approach. As she walked forward, Mindy couldn't help but smile and giggle at her girlfriend's playful demeanor.

"The stars," the woman responded, cryptically uttering the word. Her response left the group perplexed, causing them to exchange puzzled glances as they tried to make sense of her enigmatic statement.

"The stars?" Anika echoed, her voice filled with curiosity. She followed the lady's gaze as she pointed up at the sky.

"The stars have been talking to me." The lady says 

"So, what have they been saying?" Anika inquired, leaning in closer to the lady in an attempt to glean more information. 

"All kinds of secrets." The woman whispers, which makes the group more intrigued.

"Like some juicy secrets, lighthearted secrets... wait, dark secrets?" Anika asked, her curiosity getting the better of her. However, the lady quickly shushed her, prompting Anika to fall silent, a hint of fear creeping in. 

"He's coming," the lady warned, her words filled with a sense of urgency. During the conversation, she unexpectedly grabbed Anika's prized purple toy. Ethan attempted to offer it away, but Anika swiftly snatched it back, unwilling to part with her cherished possession. 

"No, that's Blueberry," Anika corrected, looking towards Ethan with a grumpy look.

"But maybe it's evil," Ethan mused, unaware of how his statement sounded. The idea of the toy being potentially malevolent crossed his mind, although he may not have fully grasped the gravity of his comment or its implications.

"Do you realize how dumb you sound?" Mindy interjected, giving Ethan a stern look that conveyed the message, "Don't respond." 

"You don't sound dumb, just not the brightest," Chad attempted to reassure Ethan, his words carrying a touch of encouragement. Ethan managed to crack a brief smile, appreciating the gesture, although his smile faded upon hearing the second part of Chad's comment.

"Such a positive comment," Ethan retorted sarcastically, his tone laced with irony. However, Chad's genuine smile persisted, oblivious to the sarcasm in Ethan's response. The exchange showcased their dynamic, with Chad's optimism often prevailing even in the face of sarcasm or negativity.

"Well, you two should head to the Ferris wheel before you start flirting up a storm and Mindy throws up," Anika suggested, playfully teasing Chad and Ethan. Mindy feigned a gag in the background, adding to the comical atmosphere. Chad rolled his eyes good-naturedly, accustomed to their banter and the dynamics of their group.

"Let's go, E. And just to clarify, guys, Mindy and I are just friends, not like you guys," Chad remarked, prompting Mindy to playfully clutch her chest with a feigned expression of offense. Anika couldn't help but burst into laughter at their antics as the two of them made their way toward the Ferris wheel, leaving the group behind.

As they made their way to the Ferris Wheel, Ethan waved at Anika, who waved back with a smile. The two settled into their seats, buckling up and getting comfortable in preparation for the ride. Meanwhile, Chad pulled out a newspaper from behind the blanket that covered the seat, seemingly having hidden it for a surprise.

"The clowns here kill," Chad read aloud from the newspaper, causing Ethan's attention to be immediately piqued. A look of confusion crossed Ethan's face as he uttered a perplexed "Huh?" in response to the alarming headline. 

"The Killer Clown Clan strikes again, much to nobody's surprise. Four major players of the clan are shown here. Be warned," Chad continued reading from the newspaper, his voice tinged with a mix of concern and intrigue. As Ethan looked at the newspaper, he noticed one of the clowns depicted on the page looked strangely familiar, resembling the one they had encountered when they first arrived. A sense of unease washed over Ethan, raising questions about their safety and the true nature of the town they had entered.

"Isn't that... that clown from earlier?" Ethan exclaimed, pointing at the image of the first clown in the newspaper. His breath caught in his throat, his shock evident in his expression. 

"Yeah," Chad breathed out, his voice filled with apprehension. The two of them turned to see Mindy and Anika, who seemed unaware of the newspaper article they had just read. Realizing the urgency of the situation, Ethan and Chad attempted to get their attention, wanting to inform them about the murderous nature of the clowns.

As Ethan and Chad waved and tried to get their attention, Anika and Mindy assumed they were simply greeting them in a friendly manner. "Hi, guys!" Anika exclaimed cheerfully, a smile brightening her face. However, upon closer observation, Anika and Mindy noticed that Ethan and Chad were trying to communicate something more urgent. The initial warmth in their greetings quickly faded as they registered the seriousness on their friends' faces.

"What is it, guys!?" Mindy yells out to them as the two still try to talk about the clowns on the Ferris Wheel, but then the Wheel finally stops for them as they are on the top part of the wheel.

"They're stuck," Anika pointed out the obvious, drawing attention to their current predicament. 

"Well, Anika, my beauty, I can see that," Mindy responded, her tone conveying a playful mix of acknowledgment and sarcasm. 

"Guys—" Ethan began to speak, but his words were abruptly cut off as he leaned a little too far forward, nearly teetering off the edge of the ride. Thankfully, Chad reacted swiftly, reaching out and pulling him back into the safety of the seat. 

"Maybe it's best not to lean forward again," Chad advised, still shocked by the close call. Ethan nodded in response.

The clown approached Sam and Tara, inviting them to follow her and participate in a game with the promise of a fun prize. Uncertain and somewhat apprehensive, Sam and Tara exchanged glances, their unease evident. The presence of the clown instilled a sense of fear and uncertainty, leaving them hesitant to decline the invitation, fearing the potential consequences of refusal.

Despite Chad and Ethan's attempts to warn them, Sam and Tara remained oblivious or undeterred, continuing to follow the clown. They reached a booth where the clown handed Sam a ball, signaling the start of the game. 

Sam hesitated, her gaze shifting between the ball and the clown, still uncertain about the nature of the game. However, summoning her courage, she decided to take a shot at the pins. The ball struck two of them, eliciting a cheer from the clown. Sam smiled and laughed awkwardly, caught between a mix of relief and lingering unease. With one final throw, she knocked down the last pin, prompting the clown to cheer once more. Sam and Tara stood there, their expressions a blend of uncertainty and curiosity as they awaited what would happen next.

"As promised... here's your prize!" the clown exclaimed, a mischievous grin adorning her face as she turned around, revealing a jack-in-the-box in her hands. The atmosphere became tense as the clown presented the mysterious toy to Sam and Tara.

"I've been saving this for this special occasion. Only someone with your unique gift can open the box. To let the real carnival come out to play," the clown declared, her words tinged with an eerie tone. Tara and Sam exchanged uncertain glances, sensing that something significant was about to unfold. Just as the clown handed the box to Sam and she was about to turn the crank, the clown abruptly halted her, interrupting the imminent motion. 

"Please be cautious. I suggest not opening it yet," the clown warns before bursting out in laughter, causing the sisters to walk away.

"What does she mean, don't open it yet?" Tara whispered to Sam, her voice filled with confusion and curiosity. Sam shrugged her shoulders, mirroring Tara's uncertainty. They were both puzzled by the clown's demand and the significance of the jack-in-the-box. 

"Guys, we've got a box," Tara called out, drawing the attention of the group as they gathered around Samantha. The anticipation and tension mounted as they prepared to confront the mystery of the jack-in-the-box. However, before they could proceed further, a sudden horn blast startled the group, causing them to jump and scream in surprise. 

"What was that!?" Liv exclaimed, her voice filled with a mixture of surprise and concern. The group followed her gaze, their eyes scanning the surroundings in an attempt to identify the source of the horn sound.

"Thank you all for coming out to the carnival. It's our lifeblood," Mortimer's mom or The Mayor announced, her voice amplified through a megaphone. The group turned their attention towards her, surprised by her youthful appearance and vibrant energy, which seemed contradictory to her role as Mortimer's mother. 

"I think you mean sucking our blood. The spell won't last forever, and then you know who is coming back," the mysterious lady interjected, her voice laced with a deep understanding of the situation. Her words hinted at a darker truth behind the carnival, suggesting that it was not as innocent as it seemed. The group exchanged glances, captivated by the lady's knowledge.

"Who does she mean by 'you know who?'" Wes inquired, his voice reflecting a mixture of curiosity and concern. 

The Mayor expresses weariness by saying, "I choose not to heed her words." He finds her statements to be nonsensical.

Sam loudly announces to the mayor, "We are here to assist you!"

"Thank you. Disregard this woman and her nonsensical ramblings. She's just gypsy trash who lives on the outskirts of town," the mayor interjected dismissively, her words dripping with disdain and derogatory language. The group's collective reaction was one of shock, their jaws dropping in disbelief at the mayor's offensive statement. 

"That was a reach, But damn, she got that bitch." Amber remarked with a laugh.

"Never willing to join us. She's not to be trusted." The mayor says, ignoring the glares she was getting from the lady.

"Where did you get that?" The lady asks Sam who was still holding the jack in the box.

"Where did you get that?" the mysterious lady inquired, her eyes fixated on the jack-in-the-box that Sam was still holding.

"I won it," Samantha says, her full attention on the mysterious lady.

"Calliope!" the mayor exclaimed, uttering a mysterious name that seemed to hold significance. However, the mysterious lady swiftly silenced the mayor, commanding her to remain quiet. Reluctantly, the mayor complied, restraining herself from further divulging any information.

"Do you know what that is?" Calliope inquired, her eyes focused on the jack-in-the-box. The group responded with various expressions of uncertainty and curiosity, each member offering their basic understanding or assumptions. However, before the mayor could make a mocking remark about the box, Calliope swiftly silenced her once again, asserting her authority and maintaining the air of intrigue surrounding the object. 

"That is one of the carnival master's wicked artifacts," Calliope revealed, her voice carrying a weight of caution and concern. Sam's gaze remained fixed on the jack-in-the-box, torn between her curiosity and the lingering uncertainty of what might transpire upon opening it. She understood the potential risks involved, and the presence of such a powerful object heightened her hesitancy. As she contemplated her decision, Sam wrestled with the desire to uncover the mysteries within the box while also grappling with the fear of the unknown consequences that awaited her.

"It's a harmless carnival prize. Just open it and put this woman's hysteria to rest." The Mayor says, which makes the group yell at Sam about whether to open or not open the box. Amber, Liv, and Quinn wanted her to open it, But Tara, Wes, Anika, and Mindy were forcing her not to open it.

Sam's curiosity got the better of her, and with a mixture of trepidation and intrigue, she decided to open the jack-in-the-box. Slowly and cautiously, she turned the crank, the anticipation building with each rotation. Then, with a sudden release of tension, the lid of the box popped open, revealing the Jack-in-the-Box figurine. However, to the group's shock and horror, Jack had a knife protruding from his head. The sight sent a collective shiver through the group, and their senses were further heightened as laughter echoed around them, leaving them both confused and scared. The implications of the wicked artifact and the presence of danger became increasingly apparent, urging the group to brace themselves for what lay ahead.

"Nothing happened. Everything is fine. Just enjoy the carnival." The Mayor says before getting picked up by a clown and thrown off the balcony, she was standing on, which made everybody scream in shock as Mortimer tried to check on his mom before gunshots were heard in the distance.

Amidst the chaos, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. The clowns, once playful and entertaining, transformed into relentless assailants, attacking innocent townspeople and ruthlessly beating them. Panic ensued as people desperately tried to escape the clowns' grasp. Amid the frenzy, Sam, Liv, and Mindy found themselves seized by the clowns and forcibly dragged into an ominous RV. Meanwhile, the remaining group members, excluding Ethan and Chad, who were still trapped on the Ferris Wheel, sought refuge in the arcade. They had barricaded the doors right after.

The clowns came to kill, so who will they kill...first?

(Author's Note: The first episode is way too long, so I will shorten it down to 4 parts which does include episode two, which was originally part 2, but I will post this next part tomorrow also, so have a nice day!)
