## Plot

**AUGUST 22, 2024**
Stephanie walked over to Piper, looking sad, “Steph, you doing okay?”

“I’m doing fine, just feeling a little under the weather with Dina disappearing” Stephanie replies

“She’ll be fine, Steph. She’s just dealing with a lot at the moment” Piper says, Stephanie looks over at Piper.

“I think I’m interested in helping you investigate these murders” Stephanie replies, “I just want to be of help for once in my life”

Stephanie falls, with Piper comforting her, “Stephanie, I would have to work with the local police and supernatural hunters. Stephanie, I can try and call some people and we could investigate together. Do you think that’s a good idea, Steph?”

“Yeah, that’s a good idea, Piper. I just want to be helpful for once. As in the Trials, I felt so worthless and out of fresh ideas. Dee knew about how to manage the threats, and we just sat back…But no more! I want to help.” Stephanie replies, Piper slightly smiles.

“I’ll be right back”, Piper replies as she grabs her phone and calls a contact.

“Hey, it’s Pierce. I need a favour from you”

“Yes, Pip. What is it?”

“I need you to authorise a friend of mine and me to start investigating the murders around town, please”

“Pip, you know I can’t do that. But since you owe me a favour, I’ll see what I can do. I’ll ring you back when I know more. See you, Piper”

“Bye, James”, Piper hangs up the phone and heads back to the living room, where Stephanie is looking at her phone. It buzzes, and she looks at a message, it reads “You feel loved, don't you? I wonder what will happen if I took that away - Dahlia”, as soon as Stephanie finished reading, a huge window shatter was heard, and an ear-piercing scream came from the living room as everyone rushed to the living room to see Stephanie crying over a limp Dean.

“No…no,” Stephanie says while sobbing over Dean’s body, Gabriella runs over to Stephanie, hugging her tightly.

“Shush, shush. It’s okay, Steph. He’s at peace, now. Please let go, so we can figure this out, together” Gabriella replies, in a soft tone, lifting Stephanie off Dean’s body, before sitting on the couch.

“Okay, everyone. Now, I think it’s time we talk about some shit.” Sky replies, “We know that there’s a masked killer around. Put your hands in the air, if you have a suspect in mind”

Everyone, but Rosa & Brooklyn raises their hands. Gabriella looks around and goes to Lyra first.

“Okay, Ly. Who do you think the killer is?” Gabriella asks.

“I think it’s Erin. She somehow escaped Stellrich and has been killing supernaturals as she did in Carlisle and she killed Dean, for revenge” Lyra replies, Sky nods in agreeance.

“Okay, two votes for Erin. Stephanie, what are you thinking?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m saying Rosa is the killer” Stephanie replies, Rosa glares back at Stephanie.

“I second that” Gabriella retorts, “Sorry, Rosa.”

“I vote Brooklyn. I shouldn’t have done this, but I’ve pulled a background check on them and nothing. And also I found that you were at the crime scene of the second spree!” Piper says, confidently.

“Well, I was checking it out!” Brooklyn defends, “Is it a crime to check out something of interest”

“Yes! It is, especially when it’s a crime scene!” Piper replies, everyone was arguing and bickering, until a noise came from the kitchen, and we all turned out to find Rosa with a crossbow bolt in her neck, they fell and started bleeding, and Piper rushed to their side.

“Ros! Rosie” Piper screams.

Their voice was scratchy, on the edge of death, “Pip. I killed no one, I just wanted you to love me”

“I do love you, Rosa… Please don’t you dare die on me!!” Piper yells, holding them tightly, but they kept on bleeding until there was no pulse. Piper stood up and raised at Stephanie, before being stopped by Sky.

“Piper! Stand down!” Sky says, shoving Piper aside, before all of their phones buzzed, they all looked nervously at each other, as Stephanie read the message at loud,

“You're finally talking about me! Joy! Rosa and Brooklyn are innocent, they are not me. I am the Dahlia and I killed Dean.”

Stephanie just froze, and Piper rose back up, and started sobbing, “I’m sorry for being so irrational. I was just mad at myself that I couldn’t prevent Dean and now Rosa is dead!!!”

“Piper. It’s okay.” Sky replies, and they look over at Brooklyn.

“Brook, now what were you doing at the scene,” Sky asks their partner, and they breathe in deeply.

“I was visiting my father at the cemetery, he’s buried there! That’s what happened! “ Brooklyn replies while sobbing against Sky’s shoulder. They hug it out before Gabriella breathes in.

“I have something to say about this Dahlia entity, I’ve been threatened by them before. I got a message that read, “Wish Jaylen had your back now, huh? I wonder how they feel with a knife in theirs, kisses - Dahlia”. Jaylen wasn’t the best partner to me, he abused me constantly either by physical or verbal attacks. It was horrible and one day, I just. Snapped. I had enough and I killed him.” Gabriella replies, before she could continue, her friends hugged her.

“We have no idea, Gabi. Are you okay?” Sky asks.

“I’m fine now, Sky. But with everything that happened in the Trials, I just felt so much pain and anger towards Jay, that I, she breathed in slowly and continued, “I just wanted him to feel pain, I wanted him to feel the pain that I had felt” Gabriella finishes, before Lyra hugs her, followed by Stephanie & Sky

“You could have told us, Gabi. We are all here for you” Sky replies while looking over at Brooklyn.

“Brook, are you okay?” Sky asks, they look over at their partner, who is looking at their phone, they turn to the group and read their message out loud, “You betrayed my trust by falling in love. You'll pay for your treason - D”

“I’ve been lying to all of you, including you Sky, my love” Brooklyn replies.

“I've been working with them,  the Dahlia. I ..I didn't want to I was forced to because I held a super secret that I promised I would keep and I wouldn't tell anyone. But somehow, the Dahlia found out and started blackmailing me and threatening me to assist in their evil plans. Their first plan was for me to fall in love with you, Sky” Brooklyn says, breathing in before continuing, “I never wanted to hurt you or anyone for that matter. But as soon as we met, I forget about everything and just concentrated on you, I wanted you to feel safe, and I always tried my best. Now I know I may have betrayed your trust, but I can earn it back-”

As Brooklyn was about to finish, 3 gas cans were thrown through the living room window, emitting a purple gas, “Everyone! Take cover!”

Brooklyn emitted darkness from her, trying to control the gases, as the rest of the group fell down, they rushed to Sky, “Sky? Sky, are you okay?”

They started coughing, “I..I.. forgive you for what you did, Brook. I love you”, their eyes shut, but as Brooklyn rose back up, she saw it…

“You! I knew you were behind this!!” Brooklyn says, before hearing an echoing laugh.

“Oh, sweet Brook. You don’t know it, the endgame is approaching, and if I’m being honest, I don’t see you playing a part in it” the mysterious voice before kicking Brooklyn in the face, knocking them out.

4 hours later…

I rose on the cold and icy floor, surrounded by my friends, “Hello? Is there anyone here?”

“Dee? Is that you?” Stephanie replies.

“I can’t even see a thing?!!” I reply, before a bright light shine above me, “Oh thanks, Ly.”

“No probs. What are you doing here?” Gabriella asks.

By now, everyone had awoken except for Brooklyn and Piper, “So, the last thing I remember was being knocked out from behind. How did you all end up here?”

“Well, we were arguing about the Dahlia and their true identity, when they gassed the place and we passed out. I could swear I could hear Brook talking to someone before I passed out” Sky says, “They’re hiding something, I know it”

“Owww.. my head? Where am I?” Brooklyn says, before her eyes dart to Sky, “Why do you all look like someone died?”

“Because you have some explaining to do…” I say.

Brooklyn looks at us and they breathe in, “Okay before you all freak out. Yes, I worked with Dahlia, she never revealed her face ever, but I did get a name, once.”

“A name? She?” Gabriella replies.

“Wait, the Dahlia’s a girl” Lyra stutters

“Brooklyn, what’s the name?” I ask her

“It’s… Ana” Brooklyn says.

I stand up, looking around, “No.. No..No… It can’t be her… It just can’t be… No… no..”

My hands start shaking and Sky grabs them, holding them, “It’s okay, Dee. We've got you.”

Then a rattle from the top of the bunker was heard, and we all stood up. Lyra’s hands glow, Stephanie’s hands project water, Gabriella’s hands glew black, and my hands glew purple.

“Who’s there?!!” Gabriella yells.

“Show yourself!!” Sky replies

The door magically opened, and we all looked into the light, “Surprise?!!”
