It happened when Tian told them to bring Aidan up from the well, saying that they were all human after all.

Once however the rope brought the boy to the light, Tian shot the boy square in the head.

"Now he can go see his mother, throw the corpse back into the well"

It was both insensitive and cruel, but some understood that this action was taken in order to unify the group, the boy was already dead, now there wasn't saving him anymore and the noices he made were substituted by silence.

It was then that Tian begun his magic.

First he sprayed some dust forming a circle.

"Stay within the circle, if you see the ghost shout, but don't leave the circle, it won't be able to come inside"

As if it was called for the ghost appeared and the dust begun to glow around them.

"This is the protection against evil spell, it's really simple to cast, only requires some salt or what I prefer to use salt powder"

The ghost stood there outside the circle as if feeling a force pushing it away from the circle, this was the second time the ghost felt that it was going against something dangerous, although it couldn't see the danger clearly.

"Bzz Drnk Wll..."

Tian begun to chant as he got another pounch of pouder out from inside his pants, when he finished the chanting they all saw the ghost exploding into streams of light, the explosion however sounded for real, it was as if he had put TNT inside the ghost or something.

The problem was that they were all holding makeshift torches when the explosion happened, as they were knocked down by the explosion one of the torches flew to an unfortunate location and the building was now on fire.

In a panic Tian shouted for everyone to get outside and someone to go inform the people upstairs about the fire, mostly because he knew the weakness of such safe spaces, they didn't come with an air condition.

Jason went up to inform them, while everyone came out and stumbled upon Chris whom seemed broken hearted and desperate to save Aidan, whom they knew was already dead, he came too late, but even if he'd come earlier, the results would probably have been the same.

Jason entered the safe space and the smoke had already alerted everyone that it was time to go.

"We've dealt with the ghost, but the house is now on fire"

He shortly reported to Nick, disregarding both Chrysa and Mike, both of whom viewed themselves as important.

Nick had already gathered his own stuff, while the others took some time to do the same now that the fire was coming, all they took was some food and some clothes.

"Can't you do it faster?"

Jason whined, because Hera was taking her sweet time, she even gave Thany some things to carry, to "help".

Chris watched with agony the burning mansion from which 7 people came out, it was Nick, Hera, Chrysa, Mike, Thany, David and Jason, the so called survivors were short three people as Maro, Mary and Thanos weren't around anymore. Out of 19 people 14 remained, 5 people had died and they were at the 4th objective, probably one objective away from finishing.

Nick looked at Tian, who looked as cocky and confident as in the start and then at Chris who looked devestated.

"Did you show them the video and forced them to come here and then kill them?

Nick asked causing Tian's head to explode, there were other ways to go around the abduction thing, he just went for the most direct way.

"Whatever it doesn't matter, just tell me how much you have derailed the story"

Nick asked, which cause Tian to turn even more docile. "What story" he would have loved to say, but he knew that these missions were based on some movie and derailing the story was a bad thing as it added extra objectives, like taking the relic did the same. He had killed both the protagonists of the story, how's that for derailing the story, probably not enought, what about destroying the ghost itself that was supposed to haunt people and kill them after 7 days.

Tian sighed as he threw the cursed video tape into the fire, as he saw no purpose in its existance anymore.

"I'm sorry for abandonning you, it was disgraceful and cowardly of me, I questioned your leadership without reason, can I be a hero again"

David suddenly said shocked inside that everyone in the group was alive.

"You motherfucker, becauseof you my brother died!"

Thany shouted.

"You mean he died because of you being too slow, because I didn't tell you to follow me, I left alone!"

David retorded.

"Enough, people die in this game and people will always make mistakes they will regret, you can sort this out after the mission is over and it won't be anytime soon"

Tian said, truthfully being tired of being a leader, the truth was that it was his first time being the leader of a mission, normaly it falls to some other veteran to be the leader, like Nick, whom were more experienced in such situations.

"David, truth be told I understand you very well, you were afraid for your own life and didn't trust my leadership, I hope that in the future you can be a strength to our group and not a weakness"

Tian said strait at him and then he turned to talk to Thany.

"Your brother gave his life to save you, he died like a hero, you now have two choices again, will you be a hero or a survivor"

Thany looked at him and then David and then clenched her fist.

"Hero to the end!"

"Hero to the end!"

Shouted Tian and others followed in front of the burning building shouting into the air relieving whatever stress was pent-up inside.

It was daytime when they woke up, sleeping inside a white circle, only Chris had left them, he was disgusted by their actions and wanted nothing to do with them.

Nick was happy with the magic circle and the others didn't know what to be angry about, the well was long burried under the rubble and the corpse was last left to rot in that well.

Now all they had to do is wait until it's dark again and the mission will be over, there was still 12 hours before the next objective or maybe even an early success.

Chris left on foot, just roaming around while the group was once more divided. Mike decided he didn't want to be part of the survivors, while Samson didn't want to be a "hero" anymore, Sydney was of the same mind.

"So what do we do now?"

David asked, wanting to know their next action.

"We get out of here and then probably get ourselves deported or something"

Tian was tired and for that reason Nick decided to interfere.

"We should secure an escape route in case we're surrounded by monsters or people, make sure that we have the escape vehicles ready"

"We don't have enough room for everyone"

David stated

"Then be a hero and stay here to die"

Nick stated as he went inside the sport car with Hera and Chrysa leaving Mike behind.

"Wait!"

David shouted, but they had already left him in their dust.

"Leader, the ambulance won't have enough fuel to take us to a city"

David reported, it was only his estimation, but he was right, at most they would reach a gas station at worst they would have to walk for hours.

without much thought they followed Nick's example and left, the back of the ambulance was even more crowded than before, but this time they felt safe, since they had destroyed the ghost.

The only thing they wondered is whether they would get a next objective or not, but Tian was sure they would, after all Chris had taken the Relic and he had killed the main protagonists, which means at least 2 extra objectives.

Tian only regreted having killed them because of the extra objectives, they would be getting, but he wasn't into planning and plotting. He was a strait guy, he prefered the most direct solution, if there is an obstacle, you destroy it with force. That's the way veterans did things, it was the only way he knew how to do things, planning failed 80% of the time, you can plan the whole thing like they did and still be transported to a mansion in the middle of nowhere.

They didn't wait long before they begun leaving. In the back there was an awkward silence, since they didn't know what to say, many wanted to change groups, but the leader of the survivor group just left them behind.

There was a huge chaos in their mind, not understanding why they had to leave the place, now that they were safe from the ghost.

They rode the bumpy country road towards the freeway, they were looking for two things, new vehicles and gas station.

Tian only had 3 bullets left in his gun, he'd killed 3 people already, one for each bullet. Mike only had one bullet, but they were thankful for the food he brought with him. Horse meat might not be the best, but it was better than nothing. Only the water was missing, since in the secret Piece they had a Well with water, problem was that they had to pass a few traps to get to it.
