     Kastaria held her head as George locked the door, Abe touched her shoulder asking if she was alright but she shook her head, everything in her head was spinning once again just like it was when she found Mark's body...

     "What's going on?" The Colonel asked as he walked over, "where's Celine?"

     "She's gone," George answered and then something clicked in Kastaria's brain.

     "Where's... Where's Damien?" Kastaria asked stepping up, "he was in that room, you locked it... Maybe... Where is he?" 

     "If he was in that room, he's gone too," George told her.

     Kastaria shook her head, "no..." she whispered, as everything started to spin once again... This can't be happening, this can't be... Tears started to fall, she couldn't stop them, she put her face in her hands as she wanted to fall apart right there.

     "Wait a minute! Where the hell do you think you're going?!" Abe asked making her look up again to see George started to walk away.

     "Away from here! This place is cursed... If you had half a brain, you'd all do the same," George answered as he walked away, he went downstairs and that was the last they saw of him.

     "Don't walk away from me! Where's Celine? Where's Damien?!" Colonel asked and it seemed that his head was spinning the same Kastaria's... 

     "I've spent 25 years cooking for these uppity fucks, I'm not about to die for them! I quit!" Chef announced turning around and leaving as well.

     Benjamin walked over to the Colonel, he put his hand on his shoulder, "I know things seem out of your control right now," that word again... Kastaria held her head with both her hands as she twitched, "but such that it is for all of us here. I shall take my leave, I implore you to do the same."

     "I won't let my friends die in this godforsaken house!" Colonel yelled at everyone, "and if you all are too much of a coward to do the same, you best leave before I kill you myself!"

     For some reason, the Colonel's words brought Kastaria out of her shocked state, "Abe, we can't leave them here," she told him but he shook his head.

     The Colonel gave her a look of approval before walking away which made Abe angry, "now, you hold on a second, I've got more questions-" Abe tried to stop him but the Colonel pushed him off.

     "Get your hands off me!" Colonel yelled as he left the room.

     "What the hells going on here?!" Abe asked as he followed the Colonel out, Kastaria looked over to Y/N and Benjamin, what were they going to do? Benjamin wanted to leave but what is Y/N's plan?

     "I know he's in pain," Benjamin told Y/N then he looked at Kastaria, "and you are too... But we need to leave this place. There's only death here now."

       Benjamin left with that, and Kastaria looked over to the door as tears fell, she loved Damien and now... God, maybe it was some kind of curse like Abe has, everyone she cared about dies... 

     "It wasn't my fault," Kastaria told herself, "it couldn't be..." 

     And with that, Kastaria went downstairs leaving Y/N there, she felt like she was going crazy and it wasn't a good time for her to be with Y/N...

     Kastaria paced in the main hall, she was arguing with herself about what to do... Maybe leave? No, she couldn't do that... Damien, he was still up there, maybe... Maybe he isn't dead, she can get him back. She can try. She has to try.
