"Candice! Where are you?!" Johnny kept shouting, wishing that his wife will hear it.

Candice heard Johnny's voice as she immediately shouts his name, "JOHNNY!"

"CANDICE!" Johnny found the basement door, unlocking it and hugging his wife.

"Are you alright?" He softly asked, caressing her hair. Candice nodded her head, hugging him tightly.

Tommaso witnessed the scene and chuckled, "Stop flirting guys...my shoulder hurts." He reminded them.

Walter kicked the red door using his full force and saw the glaring five dogs, mouth-watering, fangs showing, they kept growling and growling. Walter couldn't believe what he saw. It was Marcel's head laying on the floor. The 'dogs' runs after them as Fabian pulled his leader.

"Marcel was..." It was the only thing Walter could utter. Fabian clumsily tripped with his own feet.

"FABIAN!" Walter shouted and was about to help him when Fabian smiled weakly.

"GO!"

"NO! I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU!"

"RUN AWAY WALTER! IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO YOU BECAUSE OF ME...I..."

The dog started attacking Fabian as Dream, Rhea, and Toni pulled Walter away from it.

After they got away, Toni keeps patting Walter's back. The Ring General couldn't contain his emotions, the tears just keep falling from his eyes.

"My boys..."

Rhea angrily hissed, kicking one of the stones on the ground, "What the hell was that?!"

"Dream told all of you and yet you didn't believe at Dream!" TVD reasoned out, checking his heart rate with his hand.

Bobby fish sighed and noticed they're incomplete again, "Where's Aliyah?"

"I hope she's safe," Rhea commented.

Bobby Fish immediately run, "We should check inside."

Rhea ran after him while shouting, "Are you kidding me? After what we witnessed and confirmed, we're still going inside?!"

"The others need to know about this."

Walter, Dream, and Toni were running behind them. The Ring General pointed in the front, "Someone's lying on the floor!"

"Who could it be?"

"Wait...that looks like Aliyah..." Toni uttered when they get close at the scene.

Bobby Fish checked up on her and gritted his teeth when he felt that Aliyah's no longer have a pulse.

"Oh no! NOT AGAIN!" Rhea complained, hands on her head feeling a headache coming.

The Dream almost freaked out when he saw who's behind Rhea at the moment, "LOOK OUT!"

"It's quarter to four...when are we going to go back?" Mia Yim asked, tapping her shoulder lightly to calm her nerves.

Adam was about to speak when Roderick suddenly yelled beside him.

"Did you see that? the number changed to twenty-five!" Roderick yelled, pointing at Dexter's sketchbook.

"I can't believe this!" Karrion Kross exclaimed.

Mia Yim grabbed the sketchbook and stared at it, "Roderick, didn't you say twenty-five?"

Roderick nodded his head in confirmation.

Mia dropped the sketchbook as it fell on the floor, Dexter bend down to get it but stopped after seeing the new number.

"Twenty-five...it changed to twenty-four..." Mia Yim uttered, feeling scared.

Scarlett sighed, sitting at the wooden seat. "Who could it be? The number decreased once again..."

Adam furrowed his brows, marching towards her, "What do you mean?"

"Those creatures...they're not human. They disguised themselves as dogs but they eat internal organs," Scarlett started, making everyone to shiver in fear.

"Nikki...the person who told us believes so...they were monsters, hungry and stronger when darkness filled the sky. When hope has vanished and fear lingers..."

"How are we going to defeat them?" Keith Lee cut to the chase.

"They cannot be stopped but they're afraid of fire or any source of light," Scarlett answered.

"That explains the black sunglasses they're wearing..." Adam added.

"Light? So any source of light?" Mia Yim asked.

"That's right. Flashlights, flash of a camera, fire..." Karrion listed.

"Fire..."

"So the reason why no one's attacking us at the moment was because..."

"The three of us were holding candle lights. They're afraid of fire." Karrion explained simply, pointing at himself, Scarlett and Dexter Lumis.

"Speaking of candles, I think I've seen a box of it on the attic," Roderick stated making everyone stared at him.

"We should get it," Keith Lee advises but Karrion interjected, "We shouldn't be separated at a time like this."

"How are we going to deal with those monsters if we couldn't come up with a plan?" Keith Lee questioned.

Karrion shook his head, believing his instinct, "We need to get out of here now."

"Kyle and Bobby were still here somewhere," Roderick muttered.

"Same goes for the others," Keith Lee added.

"WE'RE GOING TO DIE IF WE STAY HERE!" Karrion retorted, glaring at Keith Lee.

Keith Lee glared back at him, "We're not going to leave them behind!"

"THERE'S NO TIME LEFT!" Scarlett shouted loudly.

"Calm down guys!" Roderick went in the middle to stop Karrion and Keith Lee.

"There's no point if we're fighting with ourselves right now, here's the plan. We're going to split up, a team who's going to the attic and a team who's going to find the others." Adam explained.

"And a team who's going to stay behind and wait for you guys," Karrion added.

Adam nodded his head, "That's fine. Roddy and I are going to get the candles in the attic and find some matches too."

"Keith and I were going to find the others and bring them back here," Mia announced, staring at his boyfriend who's approving at it.

"Let's save them and defeat those creatures!" Adam interjected, eyes filled with determination.

After that, they went to their destined path as Dexter Lumis stared at the running Adam Cole and Roderick Strong.
