"Guys! Get in here!" Five called from inside the house. Dusk, Mckenna, and Klaus all looked at each other in confusion, wondering what the hell was going on as they stood up and ran back inside. "What's going on?" Dusk asked, squeezing Klaus's hand like her life depended on it. "There's a vortex! I think someone's trying to get into the realm!" Maisie answered, her eyes growing wider the longer she stared at it.


"Stay inside! I'm going to check it out!" Five said, getting off of the couch and running towards the front door. Two people stepped out of the vortex, and it closed behind them. One had short brown and black hair, dark brown eyes, and brown skin. While the other one wore a red pantsuit and a small black hat sat atop her head of blonde hair. Five recognized those two from anywhere. It was The Handler and Lila Pitts.


"What are you doing here?" Five asked, slowly walking towards the two of them. "Oh, surprised to see us, Five?" The Handler chuckled as she lit her cigar. "It's been fun seeing you guys scatter around this house like mice fleeing from one sinking ship to the next!" Lila cackled. The front door opened. Five looked over his shoulder to see The Creative Crew and Klaus all standing in the doorway.


"Go back inside!" he called out to them. "No, we figured you need help," Dusk answered. The members of the crew couldn't believe their eyes when they saw The Handler and Lila in person. "Do you think they have something to do with those challenges?" Virginia whispered to Maisie. "I don't doubt it," Maisie answered. "How do you know that we've been stuck here?" Five asked, looking back at his former employer.


The Handler just wickedly smiled and took the cigar out of her mouth. "Wait, did you create this place? Have you been the ones who have been forcing us to do all those challenges?" Maisie asked. The Handler continued to wickedly smile, watching her victims look at each other in confusion. "You! You killed Ben and Allison, and everyone else! You murdering bastard!" Mckenna shouted, running towards the two villains. Before she could get far, Maisie, Virginia, and Dusk all grabbed her and struggled to pull her back.


"Mckenna, I agree with you! You should kick their asses, but now is not the time!" Dusk grunted, pulling her back. But, Mckenna was able to break free of their grip and continued to run towards them. Suddenly, Lila grabbed Mckenna's arm and pulled it behind her back, shoving her hard into the ground. "Mckenna!" The Creative Crew called out, running to aid their friend. Maisie and Virginia grabbed Mckenna and walked her back to where Five and Klaus were standing, while Dusk began to feel her heart pound inside her chest, her face turning a bright red with rage.


"Dusk! Are you okay?" Maisie asked, trying to put a hand on her shoulder. "Maisie. Don't. Touch. Me," she growled. Startled, Maisie moved away from her, and they watched as Dusk's eyes turn from ocean blue, to a bright red and orange. "You don't ever touch my sisters! That will be the last mistake you will ever make!" Dusk hissed. Lila and The Handler just chuckled and looked at each other for a moment before looking back at the angry teenager. "Oh! we're so scared! What are you going to do to us?" Lila teased.


Dusk looked back at her friends and lover, who looked terrified and worried about what was happening. But, the look on Dusk's face told them they needed to get inside and stay there, for bad things were about to happen. The others ran inside, locking the door behind them, and continued watching through the windows of the sitting room.


"You want to go?" Lila asked, stepping towards Dusk, her hands clenched into fists.


"Let's dance!"
