All the friends were setting up cameras and other equipment on the ninth floor, while Sarah stood far away, simply staring at Christopher. Everyone had decided that they would first try three times to make contact with any nearby spirit, and if no spirit responded to their call, then they would stage a drama for their video—showing that one of them had been possessed. That way, their video would go viral.
"Guys, have you ever seen this team called The Ghost Mentors solving a case?" Jennifer asked, watching one of their videos on her phone.
"Ugh, those three girls are crazy. They just make fake videos and upload them to earn some money. Honestly, ghosts and spirits don't exist," Amily said carelessly.
"But how can you speak with so much surety that spirits aren't real? Or that ghosts don't exist? Or that witches don't exist?" Sarah asked, glaring at her with a disturbingly eerie tone.
"Oh come on, Sarah. Stop scaring me. I know you're joking. You really think changing your voice and talking to me like that will make me scared?" Amily laughed at Sarah—completely unaware that the girl she thought was her friend was no longer her friend at all, but a spirit.
"So guys, the camera is set up, and we're ready to go live str—"
Suddenly they heard Christopher's voice echoing from the far end of the ninth floor, calling everyone there. Hearing him shout, they all rushed in his direction.
"What happened, Christopher? Why were you screaming like that? We were just about to start the live stream," Adam asked, annoyed.
"Guys, look right there!" Christopher said, pointing with his right hand.
"Oh my god… this looks like a doctor's room—or maybe an office," Sarah said, staring at the nameplate on the door.
"Clean the nameplate and at least read the doctor's name," Jennifer told Amily.
Amily was very scared, but she didn't want to look cowardly in front of her friends. So she stepped forward, wiped the nameplate with her handkerchief, and then read aloud, "Doctor Vincent Powell."
"Just like this floor, even this doctor's name sounds creepy, man," Adam said, laughing and making fun of the name.
"You shouldn't make fun of dead people, Adam. It angers the spirits… and then the one who mocks them dies a very horrible death," Sarah said, making a chillingly creepy face at him.
But Adam was a boy who always stayed in a playful mood—for him, everything was just a joke. He started walking back to the spot where they had set up their equipment and gestured for his friends to follow him. Everyone walked behind Adam, but Sarah did not like the joke he had made about the doctor's name.
After reaching their setup, Adam explained the plan once more, saying, "Look guys! Sarah will be our vessel, the one who sits in the center. We will sit in a circle, and all our fingers will stay on the Ouija board's planchette. Remember—no matter what happens, nobody will lift their finger from the planchette. The candles I lit here will extinguish the moment any spirit arrives after our call. That spirit will possess Sarah's body and talk to us, but keep in mind—no one will make direct eye contact with the spirit, because doing so makes it angry and it may consider us its enemy and attack us. And second, each person will ask only one question. At the end, once everyone gets their answers, we will all say goodbye to the spirit together. This whole procedure will be live-streamed, and we'll become famous and win this contest."
"But weren't we supposed to shoot the video, edit it, and upload it later?" Jennifer asked, shocked by what Adam said.
"Jenni, live streaming is way more fun. If people watch the video later, they'll think we used AI and made something fake. But the horror of a live stream will force people to watch and share our video," Adam replied convincingly.
After that, everyone sat in a circle according to their plan—Jennifer first, then Robin, then Christopher, followed by Adam, and finally Amily. Sarah sat in the middle of them all. Then Adam started taking the Ouija board out of his bag.
But suddenly Amily spoke up, "Adam… how will we know when the spirit has left Sarah's body?"
"Simple," he said. "The candles that will blow out when the spirit arrives will light back up once it leaves. So don't worry. I made this plan after watching a ton of videos." Saying this, Adam placed the Ouija board in the center.
Except for Sarah, the other five placed their fingers on the planchette, and then Adam called out, "Is there any spirit here who can hear us?"
He heard no response. He repeated the same sentence again: "Is there any spirit here who can hear us?"
The very next moment, strong winds began to blow, and suddenly all of Sarah's hair flew across her face—and at the same time, all the candles around them went out.
And then, out of nowhere, the planchette moved on its own and stopped on the word "YES."
Adam glanced at everyone, as if telling them with his eyes that the spirit had arrived.
The very next moment, Adam asked again, "Are you inside our friend Sarah's body?" And this time too, the spirit answered yes through the Ouija board.
Then Adam asked once more, "Will you talk to us without the Ouija board?"
And again, the spirit answered yes. Seeing this, sweat formed on everyone's forehead, and Adam looked toward Sarah and asked, "Can we know your name?"
Sarah nodded, then slowly said, "EMMA."
The moment Sarah revealed the name, everyone present became certain that a spirit had truly entered her body through the Ouija board. Adam then told Jennifer to ask her question first, then Robin, then Christopher, then himself, and last would be Amily.
Jennifer nodded, then looked at Sarah and asked, "Is my dad having an affair with my mom's nurse? And is that the reason the nurse is intentionally not letting my mom recover?"
Hearing Jennifer's question, Sarah nodded, and then answered with two voices, saying "Yes." One voice belonged to Sarah, but the other was of another girl.
Then it was Robin's turn. He didn't really have anything to ask because he believed that knowing the future only causes problems. But still, he asked the spirit, "Has Jennifer ever cheated on me?"
This time, Emma's spirit inside Sarah didn't respond for a few seconds, but then suddenly nodded yes.
Seeing herself exposed, Jennifer became furious. She stood up abruptly and shouted at Robin, "What nonsense is this, Robin? You don't trust me? You actually asked a spirit that question?"
"I only asked casually, but if I hadn't asked, how would I know you were cheating on me?" Robin shouted back.
The next moment, Jennifer slapped Robin hard across the face and yelled, "I'm not doing this stupid video shoot anymore. I'm leaving!" Saying that, Jennifer stepped out of the circle.
"Are you mad or what, Jenni? Have you lost your mind? If we break the ritual like this, the spirit won't go back—and it will kill all of us!" Adam screamed at her.
But Jennifer refused to listen, which made everyone stand up, and the circle broke. Seeing all this chaos, Christopher seized the chance to fight Robin. Grabbing Robin's collar, he shouted, "You're the root of all this trouble, Robin! Jennifer, why did you even bring this jerk here? He doesn't deserve our friendship or even to sit with our group!"
Seeing everyone fighting, Adam tried to stop them—but the very next moment, Amily's scream shocked them all.
"What happened, Amily? Why did you scream so loudly?" Robin asked, seeing Amily shouting.
Pointing toward the spot where Sarah had been sitting, Amily said, "Guys… Sarah is not there."
The moment she said that, everyone's face lost its color—Sarah had disappeared from her place.
"Where did Sarah go? She was just sitting here," Adam said anxiously.
Everyone started searching for Sarah, but just then Christopher felt something rush past him at an extremely fast speed, and with it, a terrifying laughter echoed across the ninth floor. Hearing that sound, Jennifer and Amily were terrified.
"Guys, I don't want to stay here even for a minute. Let's get out of this place right now," Jennifer said, grabbing her purse.
"Are you insane? Our friend Sarah is missing, and instead of caring about her, all you can think about is leaving this building? How selfish are you?" Amily shouted at Jennifer for the first time.
"How dare you talk to me in a loud voice? I'll kill you!" Jennifer screamed and started strangling Amily, but the very next moment Sarah's voice thundered in the air, "Why, Jennifer? Why do you always want to control everyone, hmm? But today, when I tear your friends into pieces, will you be able to control me?" Saying this, Sarah burst into loud, chilling laughter.
"What the fuck is this?" Robin shouted suddenly as he lit a candle.
"What happened, Robin?" Amily rushed toward him and asked.
"These aren't real candles—they're electric candles that turn on and off with a remote. Someone is definitely playing a prank on us," Robin said while glaring at Adam.
Adam picked up his phone lying nearby and saw that their live stream was still running. The views were increasing rapidly. He looked at Robin and said, "Robin, shut up, man. Look—our video is going viral."
"Adam, are you even human or an animal? First, you trapped us all in this abandoned building, then you faked summoning a ghost with Sarah's help—and now you want us to shut up?" Robin yelled angrily.
"Yes, Adam pulled the prank. And you're right—Sarah was also part of Adam's plan, and I knew about it too. Because when we opened that door with the cross logo and entered the fifth floor, we were discussing this exact plan." Christopher said, laughing while looking at Robin.
But Christopher had crossed all limits now, and everything happening had gone far beyond Robin's tolerance. Without saying anything to Christopher, he grabbed Jennifer's hand and said, "Come on, Jennifer. I'm taking you out of here. None of these people deserve any trust."
But in the very next moment, Robin froze when Jennifer jerked her hand away from his and grabbed Christopher's hand instead. "Now that you know my truth, I don't want to keep pretending I love you. I like Christopher. And yes—I've had sex with Christopher many times… in school, in hotels, and even in my own car." Saying this, Jennifer began kissing Christopher.
Seeing this, Robin's heart shattered, tears filled his eyes, and he decided to leave immediately—but then he stopped and called out to Sarah, "Thanks, Sarah, for telling me Jennifer's truth. At least among all these people, you're the only one who doesn't lie."
But at that moment, Emma's spirit inside Sarah burst into loud laughter and said, "I don't lie because I am not Sarah. And after today, none of them will be able to lie either."
Meanwhile, Amily somehow found an emergency light inside her bag and turned it on—and the next moment, everyone's eyes widened in terror. Sarah's face had completely changed, and she was clinging to a wall, making strange movements.
But even now, Adam stood there completely calm. Stepping forward, he spoke to Sarah, "Come on, Sarah. Come down now. Our plan is already complete, and we've got more than enough views. Now let's all go home."
"No one is going anywhere," Sarah growled in response.
"I said our plan is successful. So stop acting like some witch from a horror movie and come down. And how are you even sticking yourself to the wall like that? And what's with this makeup—you look like some demon from a haunted film," Adam said, taking two more steps toward her, while the others stayed behind.
The very next moment, what happened froze everyone's blood. As soon as Adam said those words, Sarah lunged at him in a flash and slashed her long nails across his throat. Adam's head was severed from his body and flew straight into Jennifer's hands, causing Jennifer to scream in terror. Panic erupted everywhere. In the chaos, Robin and Amily ran to the upper floors while Christopher and Jennifer rushed to a lower floor. No one noticed that Adam's phone was still recording—and the livestream was still running. People in the comments were screaming, "Kill them! Kill them all!" because they thought Adam and his friends were doing a prank, and Adam's death was just a joke. But inside this asylum, the story that began as a horror prank had turned into a bloody, terrifying tragedy.
"Will she kill all of us, Robin?" Amily asked fearfully.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you. But I don't understand why that spirit is chasing you guys," Robin said as he and Amily hid inside a room on the tenth floor.
Meanwhile, Christopher and Jennifer were hiding inside a cupboard on the eighth floor. Sarah—possessed by Emma's spirit—was crawling across the walls, singing a creepy song whose lyrics were:
"It's been a long, long time since last we met,
Tonight, I swear, your lives I will regret.
The secret of my death, I must now unearth,
I'll find the truth of my forgotten birth.
I'll rip you up and feast upon your flesh,
Tear out your heart while it is pumping fresh.
Come closer now, all of you, come to me,
I'll grant you death and set your spirits free."
The lyrics of the song were so horrifying that Christopher and Jennifer were trembling with fear. Robbinn and Amily were also listening to this song. But when Robbinn heard the lyrics, he wondered why the spirit was saying that she was meeting them after a long time. This implied that all of them had met that spirit before.
"Amily, what name did that spirit give?" Robbinn asked, looking towards Amily.
"Emma. But why are you asking this now? Are you going to send her a friend request on Facebook?" Amily replied angrily.
"I think that spirit is after all of you for a reason. Try to remember properly and tell me, do you know a girl named Emma?" Robbinn asked Amily.
Hearing Robbinn, Amily tried to remember for a long time and then, disappointed, said, "Sorry, Robbinn, but I don't know any Emma, and I don't think anyone else does either."
Hearing Amily's words, Robbinn fell deep into thought, wondering who this Emma was and why she was after all of them.
On the other side, the movie had begun at the mall, and Claire, Stephnie, and Lily were sitting and enjoying their film.
"Seriously, watching the previous Final Destination movies used to be scary, and it felt like everything was happening in real life, but this part has disappointed me so far," Lily said to her two friends while eating popcorn.
"You're right, the fun we had watching Final Destination Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4 is missing in this part. First, the directors released a new part of this movie after so many years, and it's this bad. I feel like we wasted our money buying the tickets," Claire supported Lily's statement.
"Both of you be quiet, yaar. I am liking this movie. Look at that old lady, how she has managed to cheat death for so many years and has also saved her bloodline along with herself," Stephnie said, motioning for the two of them to calm down.
Agreeing with Stephnie, both of them quieted down and started watching the movie.
Meanwhile, in the asylum, the battle between life and death was ongoing. The spirit was hovering around the same room where Christopher and Jennifer were hidden inside the wardrobe.
However, they were standing so close to each other that seeing Jennifer so near, Christopher could not control himself, and his penis became erect. Jennifer was standing extremely close to Christopher at this moment, causing Christopher's erect penis to touch Jennifer's pussy.
"Christopher, are you crazy? We are in such a horrifying situation, and a spirit is looking for us to kill us, and you are getting seduced," Jennifer said, feeling the touch of Christopher's erect penis against her pussy.
"What can I do, Jennifer? You are so beautiful that I can't control myself," Christopher replied, looking into Jennifer's eyes.
Hearing such a reply from Christopher, Jennifer also couldn't control herself and began kissing Christopher. She unbuttoned his jeans and slipped her hand inside his underwear to touch his penis.
"Now that it's already erect, send it where it wants to go," Jennifer said, pulling down her skirt and panties. In the very next moment, Christopher thrust his penis into Jennifer's pussy with a jolt, and even in that horrifying situation, they began to quench their thirst for each other's bodies. However, hearing their sounds and heated breaths, the wardrobe door was suddenly thrown open in the next moment, and with that, Christopher and Jennifer screamed.
