《Escape The Night - Season 3》The Society - Part 1
Advertisement
The members of the Society Against Evil walked towards the house. There were three of them. Two had been in this situation before, one had not. They stood in front of the house for a moment, before walking in to find the guests.
———
The guests jumped as they heard a knock on the door. Two of them walked in, and the guests ran into the corner of the room.
"Andrea? Tyler?" Alex said, almost as if he was asking a question.
"Its good to see you again," the girl said. Alex and Lauren ran over and hugged them.
"Why are you here?" Lauren asked.
"We joined the Society Against Evil," Tyler explained, "we didn't want this to happen to anyone else."
"Is Joey here? We need to talk to him," Andrea said.
"He died," Alex said.
"Oh, well, we weren't expecting that," Tyler said. One more person entered the room.
"Matt?" Rosanna said. They met each other in the middle of the room and hugged.
"What are you doing here?" Rosanna asked.
"We're part of the Society Against Evil," he said. The guests walked forward tentatively. Tyler smiled over at Dan and Phil, and they smiled back.
"We were sent to see what was going. Check if you were doing ok," Matt explained.
"Technically, yes, realistically, no," Willow said.
"I get how you feel. This is just horrible," Andrea said.
"You've been through this too?" Thomas asked.
"Joey's last party. Set in the Victorian Era. That was the party Alex and Lauren died in. We survived," Andrea explained.
"I'm the exception. I've actually never been invited to one of these parties before. The Society contacted me and asked me to join," Matt said.

"Can't imagine why you'd want to," Tyler said. The three shared a laugh.
After quickly looking around the room, Andrea noticed the small totem tower.
"How well are you doing?" she asked.
"Well, we've got three totem pieces and freed two guests, so we're doing as well as we should be doing right now," Willow said.
"As long as you're not doing worse, you're on the right track," Tyler said.
"And you've found the notebook that tells you about the lieutenants?" Matt asked.
"Yes," Lizzie grabbed it.
"Looks like you're doing ok. How are you for time?" Andrea asked. Alex grabbed his pocket watch.
"Its 9:30pm," the guests shared confused looks, "time moves slightly slower here. Each minute in our time is two minutes regular time. Its a little weird, but the longer you stay here, the longer the spirit can play with you. You've been here for 5 hours regular time, so in our time, its midnight."
"That makes, some sense," Willow said.
"Anyway, we just came to check in. We'll be back in 2 and a half hours to see how you're doing, and we'll take the bodies away," Matt said. The two groups awkwardly said goodbye and Matt, Tyler and Andrea left.
———
After collecting all the bodies, they loaded the coffins into their carriage and set off.
"I hope they make it," Tyler said.
"They will. They're strong," Andrea said.
"At least we get to check in on them, see how they're doing," Matt said. The three rode away from the house, and vanished when they left the grounds.

The Eternal Seeker Saga
In a universe where Earth is nothing but a distant memory, and humanity is clawing its way back from a million years long interstellar dark age, Sarah Ciel-étoilé is but a humble mercenary. For 60 years, her crew of exiles has followed her onboard their stolen military gunship, the Eternal Seeker. But now, a threat like they have never seen before is rising. The Dominion, an intergalactic empire over a millenia old, is dying. Its catastrophic civil war almost brought it to total collapse, and it endures only through the strength of its navy. But that strength is waning. Throughout the Dominion's Protectorate, whispers of a revolution are spreading, and insurrections are flaring up, as a conspiracy set on casting down the Dominion and burning it to the ground set its plan into motion. Yet, behind all the chaos and the destruction, something far more sinister brews in the shadows, and it could change the face of the universe forever. This is the story of Sarah, and her mercenaries, during these troubled and dark times, as empires fall...and others rise. ----- Chapters will be posted every sunday, mostly at 23h30 CET (22h30 UTC), although I will probably experiment with different release times.
