Violet (VO) After defeating the evil wicked warlock, Gabe Asher, and he's away at the Arrington Jailhouse. I know I shouldn't be tense. But something doesn't quite feel right. Such as, whenever a Bad Seed Villain or Villainess is defeated, another pops from out of nowhere. It always does.

SPECIAL AGENT OPS FIELD OFFICE

The next day, I had cleaned off the investigation board, which had pictures, sticky notes and information about Gabe Asher. And since, he's been defeated, the information is no longer needed.

After cleaning off the investigation board, I spot an VHS case laying on the table. I slowly walks up to it and picks up the VHS in my hand.

Violet (VO) Okay, how did this get here?

Confused, I insert the VHS tape into the VCR. I press the "Play" button on the remote.

On the TV screen, the screen statics for a short moment. And then, suddenly, the TV screen goes black and a picture of a moth is shown on the TV screen.

And a subtitle, "BEWARE OF THE MOTH KING", is shown at the bottom of the TV screen.

And then, the VHS stops itself and ejects itself. I get back up to my feet and walks up to the TV screen and gently takes the VHS tape from the VCR.

I become even more bewildered.

Violet (VO) What the hell was that? And what is a Moth King?

___  ꪑ ___

Afterwards, I had phone called Craig and Maggie, and Christine Avery to the Special Agent Ops and they're watching the same VHS tape with the Moth King on the TV.

Afterwards, the VHS tape stops itself and ejects itself.

"What the hell was that?" Maggie asked as she gently takes the VHS tape from the VCR.

"I don't know." I told her, sitting atop of the round table. "I was cleaning off the investigation board and there it was, just laying here on the table. I don't know how it got there, but it did."

"Did any of the guys get the same VHS tape?" Craig asked.

"I don't know yet." I told him. "But they'll call us when they do."

"Could this be another twisted person toying with us?" Christine Avery asked. "I mean, what is even a Moth King anyway?"

"Maybe, it's to scare you or unsettle you. Because whoever made this VHS tape, is trying to do that." Maggie said.

Craig, Maggie, Christine Avery and I exchange worried looks at each other.

Violet (VO) Whatever is this Moth King? It's something that can unsettle you.

JEN'S DINER

Later that day, I'm sitting in a booth table with a diner mug of my usual French vanilla latte.

Cherry walks up to me and sits down in the booth table across from me. "I have received a VHS tape at my doorstep a few minutes ago."

"Was it a Moth King?" I asked.

"It was." Cherry said. "What the absolute hell is a Moth King and why is it leaving creepy VHS tapes?"

"I don't know, but Craig, Maggie, Christine and I are working on it." I told her. "There was a Moth King VHS tape at the Special Agent Ops as well, Cherry."

"Moth King? Sounds weird." Cherry said.

"Yeah, I know." I agreed with her.

My phone buzzes on the table. I pick up my phone and looks at it.

It's a text message from an unknown number.

"Cherry? Do you want to come along with me to Somerville High?" I ask her.

"I really don't have a choice because you're gonna try and convince me to come along with you." Cherry said.

"Love you too, Cherrypoo." I said with a playful tease.

SOMERVILLE HIGH SCHOOL

That afternoon, Cherry and I slowly walks inside the darkened empty auditorium.

"Gosh, I haven't been here in a long while." I said, slowly walks down the aisle.

"You and me both." Cherry said, slowly walks alongside me. "There's nothing here."

I suddenly, sense an uneasy vibe. "It's a trap."

Cherry and I exchange looks at each other. And then, an overhead red lights turns on the stage and there is the Moth King, gently spreading its big wings and snarling.

Cherry and I both becomes shocked and we take off scurrying back to the auditorium

double doors and tries to open it, but it won't budge.

"Are you kidding me?!" Cherry exclamed.

Cherry and I glances behind us and we both see the Moth King gliding up to us, snarling.

Cherry and I continues to try and open the double doors. She manages to open  and we both walks out and closes the door behind us.

Cherry and I exchange bewildered looks at each other and panting softly to ourselves.

"Do you think its gone?" Cherry asked.

She and I both opens the door again and slowly walks inside.

The overhead lights are turned off and the Moth King has disappeared.

Cherry and I exchange bewildered looks at each other.

Afterwards, I had called Craig, Maggie and Christine Avery into the Somerville High auditorium.

Cherry and I are standing in front of the auditorium stage.

"The Moth King was here. I gotten a text message on my phone, saying to come alone to the Somerville High auditorium, and Cherry came along with me." I told Craig, Maggie, and Christine Avery.

"And then, suddenly, out of a scary movie, The Moth King just showed up, snarling and gliding." Cherry added with her arms folded.

"Gliding?" Christine Avery asked.

"Yeah, The Moth King gilded." I told Christine. "You guys, something's definitely off about this Moth King. We don't know what we're dealing with."

Craig, Maggie, Christine Avery, Cherry and I exchange worried looks at each other.

JEN'S DINER

That evening, I'm sitting in a booth table with another diner mug of my usual French vanilla latte and a half eaten plain cheesecake on a small plate.

Jonny walks up to me and sits down across from me in the booth table.

"You and Cherry saw The Moth King?" Jonny asked, worried.

Violet (VO) I told him in a text message.

"Yeah, we did." I told him. "It was snarling and it glided towards us."

"I gotten a Moth King VHS tape." Jonny told me.

"Let me guess, it had "Beware of the Moth King" on it?" I said.

"Yeah, it did." Jonny told me. "What the hell is this Moth King?"

"That's what Craig, Maggie, Christine and I are trying to figure out." I told him.

"Well, maybe, you can kiss your boyfriend." Jonny suggested with a small smile, gently folding his arms on the table.

I small smile at him and we share a kiss.

BENTON HOME

That night, I walks inside the living room, gently closing the door behind me.

I slowly walks further inside the living room and sees a VHS tape on the coffee table.

I walk up to the VHS tape and inserts it into the VCR and press the 'Play' button on the remote.

On the TV, there's a black screen with a red Moth wallpaper on it.

NOW THAT YOU HAVE SEEN ME . . . I AM WATCHING YOU.

And then, it fades to the outside of my house.

I look at my living room window blinds and I look back at the TV as the VHS tape stops itself.

I become bewildered.
