The atmosphere in the dimly lit room was thick with tension as flickering candles cast eerie shadows on the faces of two figures huddled together - Benjamin and Lizzie. They whispered frantically, trying to remain unnoticed. Every sound seemed amplified, sending shivers down their spines. Suddenly, a loud noise shattered the silence, causing Benjamin to jump in fright. His heart raced as he tried to focus on their conversation. Lizzie's eyes widened in fear, and she struggled to control her breathing. With urgency in his voice, Benjamin spoke in hushed tones, "We need to get you both to safety." But before he could finish, a voice interrupted them, shouting with panic, "He's found us! He's here!" The sound of approaching footsteps grew louder and more frantic, instilling a sense of terror in everyone in the room. Mister Davis, who was seated close by, noticed their distress and asked Lizzie if everything was alright. She took a deep breath, attempting to steady herself before responding, "This can't be happening now." Mister Davis spoke softly, his voice laced with concern, "What's going on? Can you tell us what's happening?" Lizzie hesitated for a moment before saying, "Let me explain how it all began." But before she could continue, someone yelled, "He's coming this way! Hide if you want to live!" Feeling frustrated, Lizzie let out a sigh and pleaded, "Please, can we all just be quiet and let me finish my story?" "Of course, dear," Mister Davis replied, nodding in agreement and gazing at her with empathy. Lizzie began speaking in a low and steady voice, "Once upon a time, there was a king and queen who had two children, a boy and a girl." But suddenly, she froze, her eyes fixed on something behind Benjamin. "Lizzie, what's wrong?" Benjamin asked, his own eyes following her gaze. "He's behind you," she said in a monotone voice. "Who are you talking about, Liz?" "She's talking about me," a deep and menacing voice boomed from behind Benjamin. "Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jackson." Mister Davis narrowed his eyes with suspicion and asked Jackson, "Are you the reason why everyone here is going insane?" "Wait, Liz, are you okay?" Jackson asked, his concern evident in his voice. She looked at him before collapsing, unconscious, to the ground. As she woke up again, she found herself in the hospital. "Ah, my head." "Liz, you're alright." "Who are you again?" "Oh, it's me, Jackson." "Where are the rest of my friends?" "The rest, they are..." "Pls tell me, Jackson." "Alright then but note this will not be easy to handle for you." "Alright, no need to worry I can handle it." "As you fainted, Benjamin got you on his shoulder and we started to run. We were halfway when something or someone blocked the way. It was Emma. The look on her face meant something bad was going to happen. Benjamin asked me to take you to the first hospital I could find. He could handle it. After that, I haven't seen him." "So you have no idea how they are now." "No, but Benjamin asked me to give you this." Lizzie got the note. "Oh, this was his plan to escape alright."
