RIHANNON'S ROOM*
"Tanya!!!!" Twilight's shriek came from outside the tower, jolting Rihannon out of her sleep.
Her heart was slamming as she got down from the bed and rushed to the second bed where Damien is sleeping deeply.
He actually spent the night here since Tanya spent the night with Twilight.
Rihannon tapped him thrice, and his eyes opened.
"Tanya!!!!!!" Twilight's scream came at that same time, and he jumped down from the bed.
"What the fûck was that?" He asked with terrified eyes.
"I think they went out, and I think...I think Tanya is..." Rihannon said, and Damien frowned.
"No...no. that can't be..." He shook his head.
"This ain't the first time we heard this kinda scream in this castle, Damien. Tanya is gone" Rihannon repeated, and he turned to the door immediately.
He almost opened it, but Rihannon quickly pulled him back.
"You can't go out and you know it Damien!" She snapped.
"She's still so young! Remember she told us at the refectory that her 21st birthday is today. How could Slade do this? How could that monster...
"Just calm down and let's wait till daybreak" Rihannon cut him off.
Damien broke free and tried opening the door again, but she pulled him back once more, throwing him to the bed strongly.
She came on top of him and blocked his ears with a pillow, closing out Twilight's screams.
"Tomorrow morning" she said, and Damien calmed.

WESLEY'S TOWER*
The tower is a restricted one just like the tenth tower cos Lord Vann and his wife Lorraine stays in it.
Lord Vann didn't spend the night at the castle, he went downtown for business, so Lady Lorraine is the only one available, but she's not alone.
She's wearing a see-through nightie that has thin straps, colour white. She has her make-up on too, and her hair is down to her waist as usual.
She put out the candles in the room and turned on the electric lights instead.
The bright lights illuminated the room to every length, till Slade's face came to view.
He's sitting on an armchair beside the bed, manspreading as his arms rested firmly on the chair arms.
He's still in his compression shirt and sweatpants, and his brows are furrowed like he's upset.
"Tanya!!" Twilight's scream reached the tower, though it's not that loud anymore cos she's obviously getting weak.
"I wonder if they read the back of their admission letters at all. It was clearly stated there that 12am is a dangerous time...no coming out" Lorraine said, facing him.
"You held me down here for over five hours already, and I'm only staying because i don't have classes to take tomorrow. Now you have just five minutes left, and if you fail to tell me why I'm here within that five, I'm leaving" Slade spoke stiffly, his voice low and at the same time blunt as fûck.
Lorraine smiled, her red lips spreading out as she began walking to him.
Her black panty and bra could be seen under the transparent nightie, and she's doing everything she can to make him notice, but his eyes aren't just going there.
"I invited you here to apologize on my husband's behalf. Putting you in coma for two years was wrong cos even if everyone in this university is unaware, I know you're not behind the 12am murders" she said, rolling a piece of her hair on her pointer finger seductively.
"I have plans for Vann, and even a hundred of your apology won't stop me, Lorraine" Slade replied, looking up when she finally got to him.
His eyes radiated vengeance, and his lips are curled in a ominous smirk.
Lorraine smiled and bent slightly, showing him a large part of her full exposing breàsts.
"Have I told you how much I love when you call my name?" She whispered, raising her finger to his face to touch.
Immediately she did, she got the chest pain which made blood escape the corner of her lips, but that didn't stop her.
She slid her hand down his chest, riding it in a slow mo while holding eyes with him.
The smirk is still on his lips as he watched her with those void eyes of his, and the more she touched him, the more she bled from the mouth, till she got to his midsection.
She almost grabbed his c0ck, but he took her hand before she could reach there, and she immediately leaned forward, trying to kiss him.
He twisted her wrist, and she gasped as a bone cracked on that wrist.
"What the hell! Slade!" Her eyes widened.
He let go of her wrist and stood tall, towering above her.
"It's boring when females offer themselves freely. I thought I've seen it all with your daughter, but you too?" He pocketed his hands with attitude.
"You mean Imogen is bothering you too?" Lorraine flared up.
"Won't lie, it's kinda interesting. Maybe I might change my mind and have threesome with mother and daughter one day, but yunno what can never occur? You having my heart. That organ has been thrown into a volcano since I was a kid, and only a female who wants her life ruined can come closer and get it... It's not you, it's not Imogen" he declared, slicing out every word toxically like he's deranged.
Then he turned around and walked out of the room.
Lorraine held her hurting wrist, wiping her bloody lips on the black curtains before scoffing.
"You think you can escape me? Just watch me, Slade. Watch as I ravage you like a storm. Watch as i take you!" She muttered, meaning every word.

NEXT MORNING, FIFTH TOWER*
At exactly 7am, Damien and Rihannon were the first to run out of the tower.
They met Twilight outside as expected.
She's sitting on the pool of Tanya's blood, and she's holding the dead body to herself.
She had to take off the jacket of her pyjamas and wrap Tanya's broken head with it so her brain won't fall off, and her body is so red with Tanya's blood already, even her face.
She's crying so much, and her voice is already so hoarse from too much crying.
"Oh...gawd" Rihannon muttered.
"Shit" Damien muttered, unable to watch.
Other students began rushing out of the tower in their PJs, even students from other towers joined the crowd.
Within three minutes, the place was filled. Obviously, everyone heard Twilight's cry last night.
The school has over two thousand students, so the rate at which the place is full is imaginable.
Twilight's rude roommate is part of the last student to come out of the fifth tower, and her eyes widened when she saw the scene.
She covered her mouth and fell on her butt unwillingly, and tears came out of her eyes.
Students from the rich tower began joining the crowd too, and everyone made way till Tamlin got to the front.
"Oops, bad morning" he said nonchalantly.
"Fûck" Ruslan mumbled.
"Could have avoided it if she stayed indoors. She deserved it, I must say" Imogen said emotionlessly.
"You're right, girl" Posey replied beside her, and they both smiled.
Ren began laughing suddenly, and all eyes turned to him.
"Sorry but I think Slade pushed her so he could capture the picture of her cracked head in his camera. Isn't that what he does? He loves snapping pictures of tragedy" He said, and Twilight slowly dropped Tanya's body from her laps.
She stood slowly too, sniffling as she walked to Tamlin.
"Take me to Slade" she told him, her eyes so red...even her face is puffy, swollen, red, sorrowful... everything is happening on that face.
"Do I look l
ike your errand boy? Take you to Slade?" Tamlin scoffed.
"Take me to him bastard!!! Take me!!!!" She yelled, hitting him on the chest so hard.
