《The Untold Stories - Season 1》Message from Hell (Episode 3)
Advertisement
A man with long braided dark hair and eyes as red as blood sits at a desk with a big white card on top of a dozen brown boxes. Sitting on the card like a king rests a big red stamp lined with a red grizzly bear on the California flag, on the letter reads:
Augusta, Georgia, United States
Gillette Way, Number 111
Ms. McDonald
A woman with circular glasses and a high blonde ponytail scoops up the letters about to be sent to one hundred and sixty five witches and wizards around America to attend the first year of Magical Arts Approval. The ponytail lady looks sharply at the man who fiddles with the papers by his desk, her dark brown eyes fixate onto his as he opens to speak to the woman.
Man: Ms. Krakze, are you sure you want exactly 165 students this year?
Kyphi Krakze: We need as many witches and wizards on the front line against the Hunters.
Man: So you're going to be using them?
Kyphi now slams her left hand on the desk, a deep red flame growing upon her face.
Kyphi Krakze: This is the biggest war our world has ever seen against the Humans, over 600 witches and wizards have died and only 142 Hunters... so yes we need more.
The redness finally turns back to its pale white color as she marches off. A distant twinkle can be heard from outside as the frame focuses on Kyphi walking down the corridor, out in the windows the sky turns bright for a second and a crash making Kyphi's body fly back, the camera turning black.
It opens back up as the man steps over the rubble and stone to lean down and touch Kyphi's bleeding head, she whimpers and cries. Across the street the man can notice two figures with a rabbit and werewolf mask run away, distant sirens can be heard and Kyphi's cries turn muffled.
Kyphi Krakze: Save yourself... Llama.
The scene changes to Jasmine Clyde. The person with the rabbit mask grabs hold of her coat and stabs her back, her screams echo as the camera changes to her face, screaming in a dark room as a knife stabs her even more, she attempts to grab the mask but the masked man grabs a bigger knife and stabs her in the stomach causing her to lay silently. The rabbit man grabs her body and sits her down on a chair next to a checkered table, the man sits on the other side and starts to bang on the table as Jasmine's eyes are rolled up and her tongue peeps out like a meerkat.
The scenes change to Jasmine on a spiny wheel and the masked man throwing darts at her, Jasmine in a car while the masked man creepily laughs as they speed on a highway, Jasmine in a tub while the masked man scrubs her back. The last scene consists of Jasmine lying on the bed while the masked man preforms necrophilia on Jasmine, he looks into the camera while moving up and down. He looks at her on the bed and ties a bow on her before dumping her on the House's front door.
The camera focuses back on Jasmine holding her head while screaming, she echoes "Sophie" before laughing at the camera. Sophie jolts upwards and stares at the wall, her hair acting like a lion and her clothes covered in pillow feathers and last nights pizza. Kieghan lies on her right, her head buried into a pepperoni pizza while snoring and on the floor sits Kalani with Chelsea placing her head on his lap, both fast asleep. A buzz from her left side vibrates her leg and alternately wakes Kieghan from the pizza rubbing against her right cheek, they both rummage through the bed covers before finally finding the shiny light, on the service writes "Rachel Poppies" with seven missed calls and six texts. Sophie flicks through the messages in order:

"Sophie I need to reveal something."
"Please I need your help right now!"
"OMG, I think they're after me!"
"Please pick up!"
"Tell Chelsea i'm sorry"
".fgs"
Sophie and Kieghan exchange concerned looks before another call from Rachel connects. Kieghan takes the phone off of Sophie and runs out of the room while answering it. Sophie stumbles afterwards like a zombie looking for brains.
Kieghan South: Where are you?
Kieghan turns towards Sophie with an afraid expression and as soon as Sophie knew it her, Kieghan, Kalani and Chelsea all are teleported outside to Rachel struggling on a rope. The four struggle to move as paralysis is enchanted upon them, they all watch as Rachel swings her arms and legs in terror of death. Sophie falls backwards.
Mr. Jewenson and Jasmine Clyde both look at Sophie from the corner of a small room and turn appearing faceless and move their heads to the left, Sophie turns backwards to see a mountain of dead Sophie's, Jasmine and Mr. Jewenson charge at Sophie, but as she reacts with crossing her arms to protect her face, a powerful source sends them back and Sophie is thrown back into reality.
Sophie breaks from the paralysis and cracks into a run to Rachel, using her hand to snap the rope and for Rachel to fall into a lake, before Sophie could do anything more advance a cough is heard from the distance and there stands Professor Llama MacCarones with Rachel laughing beside her.
Rachel Poppies: That wasn't actually me, idiot. It was some stranger we found on the street who looked like me.
Sophie McDonald: That was sick.
Professor Llama MacCarones: But you passed the first test.
Sophie McDonald: What test?
Professor Llama MacCarones: That you are willing to save your housemates in time of need - even when hate separates you, that is a talent not many witches and wizards can accomplish.
Llama clicks his fingers and the others break from their paralysis, violently coughing with red blooming around their faces.
They all start walking back towards the House, many wild patches of flowers dance in the wind and the birds in the trees chirp with the tunes of an angel's violin.
Sophie McDonald: So who was the girl?
Professor Llama MacCarones: Her name was Ellen Sewem-
Llama's words become muffled as Sophie remembers the faceless faces of Jasmine Clyde and Mr. Jewenson, she fixes onto Jasmine never seeing her before other than a horrifying dream last night and in the paralysis until it snaps back and they walk into the House's kitchen, Cat Montreddins sits with Toby Savannah whom both giggle behind newspapers with big black sunglasses on inside, they both stop as the others walk inside and judgingly walk past them.
Cat Montreddins: Y'all got a problem?
Professor Llama MacCarones: The newly founded rule we established last night?
Cat rolls her eyes and grabs hold of Toby.
Cat Montreddins: C'mon, we're clearly not welcome here.
They storm off in a hurry and leave one newspaper spread out on the wooden table. Chelsea walks over towards it and scoops it up with one hand, she takes a step back before reading the words:
The Brotherhood Attack: Two left dead and one injured after tonight's events. The names of the dead are Loocie Moonies and Adulf Sazas, both with gunshot wounds suggesting a murder-
Sophie's vision goes blurry as she sees brown hair swoosh with the wind, Jasmine waves at her until she opens her mouth and maggots fall out she points to a woman and a man, the man with deep blue eyes and the woman with familiar hair, Jasmine then screams and she goes back to reality. Rachel and Llama are both gone, Kalani and Chelsea chase after them and Kieghan comforts Sophie who crouches by a cabinet. Cat and Toby walk past Nikos, all exchanging dirty looks. The camera flies past Nikos and into the rainy outdoors, a cyclist cycles past, a red car passing the cyclist and two women jogging on the other side. The house two doors down with tape all around it. The camera turns to the house as "The Untold Stories" floats above it and eventually soaks onto the roof of the house.

The six housemates sit around on the couch as Professor Llama MacCarones stands infront of the fireplace, Nikos to the side holding a water jug.
Professor Llama MacCarones: As you know every year we perform the Royalty Games to see who among you will be the next Queen or King to look after this house. Any witch or wizard to forfeit their claim to the role leave the room now.
Everyone looks at each other but nobody leaves or stands up from their seats.
Professor Llama MacCarones: Very well then, the games will start tomorrow.
Cat and Rachel both leave together and the others wait as Nikos and Llama slowly walk and talk out of the room.
Kieghan South: Sophie... something has been happening to you lately, wanna explain?
Sophie McDonald: I keep... having these episodes where I keep seeing the same girl and- man over and over again.
The camera zooms closer to Sophie, Chelsea sighs and pulls the newspaper from the table to Sophie.
Chelsea Williams: Is it this girl?
The newspaper shows a smiling Jasmine Clyde in a bar with a glass of some liquid to her side, to the left of the picture repeats the word 'Missing'.
Sophie McDonald: Yeah.
Kieghan South: Maybe you're a physic or something where you can see visions of people?
Next to Jasmine Clyde shows two blurry pictures of the death and crime scenes but she skips them and notices a young man with bright blonde and blue eyes, above in deep ink writes "Evan Frontson, 19, injured from the Attack", as Sophie reads the words the front door opens and a cheer can be heard. The four look at each other, confused, before leaving to find out what the noise is about. As they step out, a 6'2 muscular man with the same deep blue eyes as Rachel stands with a small petite woman hugging Rachel. Rachel stops mid-hug to turn around.
Rachel Poppies: Hello housemates, this is my mama or as some know her as Serena, and my annoying twin Charles.
Kalani Samiskowski: Rachel, you never told us that you have a twin.
Charles Poppies: Well she has now.
Charles' deep voice satisfies the three girls but Kalani rolls his eyes as they become distracted by his looks.
Rachel Poppies: Where is papa?
Serena Poppies: Papa had to stay for work, but i'm sure he'll be here to watch it all.
Rachel and Serena walk past the housemates with their heads held high, a shriek can be heard from Llama MacCarones as he welcomes Serena, Charles follows past them, the three girls sighing.
Kieghan South: Do any of you guys have any hot brothers I can steal or I am claiming Charles.
Kalani and Chelsea shake their heads, Sophie stays perplexed while watching Charles' figure leave the hallway. Kieghan makes a "oooo" noise.
Kieghan South: Who is your brother, Sophie?
Sophie snaps out of looking at Charles before looking at Kieghan, even more confused.
Sophie McDonald: Oh, no. I only have a younger brother, his name is Jack.
Kieghan South: That's no fun.
Kieghan grabs hold of Chelsea's arm and they head towards the stairwell leading to the upstairs, Kalani walks close to Sophie and places a hand on her shoulder, a loud lightning can be heard from outside which forces Sophie to duck. They both warningly look outside of the closest window, a dark grey cloud draws closer to them.
Sophie McDonald: Don't you think we should question Rachel-
Before Sophie could finish her question, Toby and Cat run down the stairs in a hurry.
Cat Montreddins: There's no time to question - CMON!
Cat and Toby grab hold of Kalani and Sophie as they tumble closer towards the front door. The doors wave open, a cool wind hits them and a single rain lands peacefully on Sophie's hand. Although, Cat and Toby appear in too much of a rush for Sophie to notice this and they are now in a full sprint to the taped up house.
Kalani Samiskowski: What is going on?
Cat and Toby ignore Kalani's question, the blue house looks down upon them like a judge at a courthouse. There are no time for questions but the blue house allows them to enter, the scream of a distant woman coming from upstairs motions the four to run up there. Cat, Toby and Kalani split into different ways but Sophie notices a small open in the bathroom so therefore investigates the scene, as she opens it up the same man from the newspaper lies half-dead in the tub, a woman with similar looks weeps by him and a blue-haired with skin as cold as death stands above the two, crying tears from the skies. The two women notice Sophie, their words brush against her harshly.
Meagan Frontson: Who are you? Have you come to finish him off?
Winter Anderson: Stand back...
Sophie McDonald: What happened?
Sophie looks towards Winter and notices her from a local journal, a girl who was killed by her crazy-brother Kai Anderson and claimed Witches "resurrected" her, Sophie also notices the other woman who was interviewed by the CNN for her brother's injuries at the Frat Party, she blamed Toby Savannah for his injury and attempted to kill Toby's dog, Oscar.
Meagan Frontson: You and the rest of your "friends" drugged my Evan and now he's half-dead. An ambulance is on the way but isn't going to be here until - (she checks her watch) 11 minutes to go.
The talking catches the other's attention and they now join Sophie in looking into the bathroom. Toby scrams everyone away and looks at Evan in the face.
Evan Frontson: It's so cold... brother.
Evan looks towards Meagan before grabbing another syringe to inject himself, bubbles and white flem escapes his mouth and his whole body starts shaking. Cat runs into the room to attempt to help but Kalani runs away from the scene, Sophie in confusion runs away too. This notices Winter's attentions and she runs after them.
Sophie McDonald: Kalani, what's wrong?
Kalani Samiskowski: Think about it, you saw a man and woman - the woman being Jasmine Clyde the woman who went missing last night and Evan Frontson was the man who was injured. One of them is dead maybe the other one we need to warn or find before anything bad happens to her aswell.
Winter interrupts them and walks down the stairs, slowly.
Winter Anderson: So you're witches? Or a witch and wizard? I've been trying so long to find an Approval House - can you show me it? I mean y'all have resurrected me once, what else have I to gain?
Kalani grabs hold of Sophie's hand and they hug each other from a strong wind enveloping around them sweeps them up into the sky. Sophie can view the world and see the skyscrapers of Tokyo and the Statue of Liberty until the wind forces her back down and she lands onto her bed, Kalani falls afterwards and lands softly on top of Sophie. They both stare into each other's eyes awkwardly before pushing each other away, panting. Kieghan bursts into the room and falls backwards like a drama queen. She slams her head on the wall and screams in pain.
Kieghan South: Where the fuck did that wall come from? Anyways, where did you guys come from and why are you panting?
Kalani Samiskowski: We- were...
Sophie McDonald: Just witnessed someone else's death and now need to find the girl I keep visioning about.
Kieghan South: Jasmine Clyde?
Kalani Samiskowski: Yes... but i'm not in. I don't want to be running around trying to find someone who we have no idea why is linked to this mystery death where we could be walking into our own deaths.
Sophie McDonald: Not long ago, you was telling me we should find her but now you're backing out? Coward.
Kalani grunts and storms off, slamming his chest at Kieghan's shoulder. Kieghan gives a shocked expression before a middle finger behind his back. The camera zooms past Kieghan and Sophie and into a mirror, it goes into the mirror and reflects onto...
An 8 year old version of Kyphi Krakze slow-motionly walks down the concrete stairs leading towards the six acre land of garden. A blonde haired girl at the same age of Kyphi sits in the middle of two boys about the age of 10 and 12. Their historic names were Ashley Mahone, Henry Jefferson and Thomas Linkle. Kyphi carries a tray of fresh milk and recently baked cookies, the smell lingers around with the warm homely and blanket covering feeling. In front of the three friends rests a red and white checkered blanket, a basket of all types of bread along with jars of freshly picked apples, readied grapes and steaming cherry pies. In front of all the filling foods rests a board with multiple cards showing angry green Ogres, bright pink Elves, orange Goblins and pale Humans, right in the middle of the board stains with the words "Beasts and Fairies". Kyphi sets the tray upon the other colorful foods and sits cross-legged infront of the three. They open the board together and around them Ogres, Elves, Goblins and Humans spring into action.
Kyphi Krakze: I will be Queen of the Humans.
Thomas Linkle: I want to be a Goblin.
Ashley Mahone: Princess Elvian.
Henry Jefferson: The King of the Ogres.
Henry and Kyphi look at each other with affection before leaving to their stations, Ashley lets off a fireball towards Thomas and steps closer towards the board, the surrounding elves aiming their bows at Thomas. A big dice leaps out from the board and floats towards Henry.
Henry Jefferson: Disarming!
The female ogres walk toward the male humans and distract them while Henry jumps two steps closer towards the board. The dice gets pinged towards Kyphi and she outstretches her arm to attempt to grab it, a distant man and woman runs out of the house in a rush, the woman pulls out a sharp wand and with a wave the game is dragged back into the board and the two adults gesture towards the children to run towards them and they do so, as soon as the children run towards the parents their voices tremble and a wave of wind flaps around them. One second they are in the garden and now in the cold, damp basement. The basement doors click and hard cardboard boxes protect the door, the woman and man look back at the children.
Ms. Ivy Krakze: Children, remember what I told you about the beasts?
Ashley Mahone: Even if they are strong, fairies are always stronger.
Ms. Krakze: Yes... me and your father have to go up to defeat the beasts. You kids can play Beasts and Pixies down here while you wait.
Mr. Krakze: C'mon... we have to leave now.
Ms. Krakze kisses the children on the head and coughs blood onto her hand but doesn't show this to the children, she gives them one last smile before evaporating into the abyss. The children look around and shed tears but Henry Jefferson wipes the tears off of Ashley and Kyphi while giving them reassuring looks.
Henry Jefferson: C'mon, let's finish the game.
A ginger woman coughs into a tissue, blood splurting onto it. Kieghan gives her a reassuring look before glimpsing back towards the table of Sophie and Kalani smiling back, Cat fixing her thumb's nail and Llama acting supreme.
Jazzy South: Would you kids like to hear the tale of our tree?
