FP pulled up to his old high school, having a feeling the game would begin here. To his surprise, he found Fred Andrews, Hermione Lodge, Alice Cooper, Sierra McCoy, Tom Keller, and Marty Mantle. "FP Jones, were you called here to?" Alice asked.
"Yeah," FP said. "Where's Penelope?"
"No clue," Hermione said. "Do you think she's behind this?"
"I mean, she was the game master," FP said. Marty pulled on the door, and it easily opened. The group entered the school quietly. The hallways had a eerie feeling to it. They heard footsteps behind them. They turned around and saw none other than Penelope Blossom.
"I'm so glad you guys could make it," she said. "I missed you all dearly."
"Where is my son?" FP asked, in a angry voice.
"You will find that out when you finish my quest," Penelope said. "You can find your quest in one of these classrooms. But beware, after the first twenty hours of your quest, one of the kids will be executed. This gives you a total of seven days to complete the quest. Your timer begins now."
Betty was laying in bed when she felt something under her pillow. She picked up the pillow and found a key. She went to the lock of the chain on her ankle, and she put the key in it. The chains then feel off. "Guys check under your pillow," Betty said.
The others also found keys. Soon everyone was free of their chains. "Start looking for away out," Betty said. The group then start to examine the area. Jughead had found a light switch and turned it on. The group then realized just how small the room was. It was only about ten seven feet wide.
Veronica found a article on the wall. It was about the murder of Jason Blossom. Kevin noticed what she was staring at. "That poor kid was murdered because he threatened to expose his family's drug business," Kevin explained. "Killed by his own father."
"That's screwed up," Veronica said. Betty let out a sigh.
"Me and my mom live in Greendale and he used to date my sister," Betty said. "He ended up getting pregnant. They wanted to runaway and elope, but my mom sent her to a nunnery instead. Poor girl doesn't even know Jason is dead."
"Was she sent to the sisters of quiet mercy?" Reggie asked. Betty nodded. "My cousin was sent there. She said they gave the patients some drug called fizzle rocks, saying they were candies."
"Yeah it's amazing that place hasn't been shut down yet," Betty said. There was then a moment of silence.
"I can't find the entrance," Jughead declared.
"It's official, whoever did this is a maniac," Reggie said.
"Don't give up yet," Betty said. "We have to escape before the first 24 hours is up. We got in here somehow so there's got to be a away out."
The group then nod and go back to looking.
The adults were hard at work looking for their quest. "Six hours have already passed," Hermione reported. "18 more and one of our kids will be dead."
"Don't give up," FP said. "I promised my wife I would bring our son home safe and I attend to keep that promise."
"So your married?" Alice asked. "Surprising seeing how you could never keep a partner back in highschool."
"People change Alice," FP said. "You clearly have."
There was a moment of awkward silence when Hermione yelled, "Got it!" she yelled. She held up some paper. "I found the quest paper."
"Good," Tom said. "What does it say?"
"Search the catacombs for what you seek, then venture where they serve meat, once the beast is slain by the hellcaster is only when you find what your so desperately looking for," Hermione read at loud.
"If I remember correctly, Alice was the hellcaster," Sierra said.
"So I'm going to have to face off against anything from a bear to a serial killer," Alice said. She then let out a sigh. "Alone."
"You don't have to fight it alone," FP said. "You just have to deliver the killing blow."
"So the catacombs are definitely the library," Hermione said. "I already checked and it's unlocked."
"Then lets go," Alice said. "We've already wasted a good five minutes."
The group then ventured to the library.
"This is hopeless," Veronica said. "We're not going to get out of here alone. We just need to sit back and hope our parents get here before the first 24 hours is up."
"We can't just sit around," Kevin said. "The person who took us put the keys under our pillows for a reason."
"Maybe it was just to make our deaths at the hands of them more interesting," Archie said.
"Then lets rest and regroup when we wake up," Betty said. "I don't think any of us got a goodnight sleep last night."
"I agree with Betty," Jughead said. "Well all work better after some rest."
The groups then went back to their beds. After a few minutes of tossing and turning, the teens were finally able to fall asleep.
The adult group spent endless hours in the library, searching threw every book possible. They couldn't find a single clue. Tom looked at the intercom. "Hey crazy lady, can we get a hint?" he yelled.
"I can't," she said. "It's against the game master's code."
"You're a maniac, you know that?" Tom snapped.
"Careful, or your son will be the first to go," she said. Tom let out a low growl.
Alice snuck into the Liberian's office. She saw a interesting book on the desk. It was entitled 'Griffons and Gargoyles player pamphlet.' She opened the book and found a key. On the page it said it was to the janitor's closet and it said to go there. Alice ran out of the office.
"I found what we were supposed to find," Alice yelled. "We have to go to the janitor's closet."
"Clever girl," Penelope said, over the intercom. "But you're too late. The first 24 hours are over. Which means the first victim will be executed."
