Chapter Text
A girl points to the Cyclone, an impressive rollercoaster that juts out against the sky. A boy pats her head, ruffling her bow, and looks at everyone else. The other members of the Saint Cassian’s Chamber Choir shrug and shuffle over to the ride.
Within minutes, they’re strapped in and ready to go. The ride takes off, spinning around and around. Screams rise up from five of the teens, and the youngest of the group claps in excitement. She reaches a hand up, and she hears it.
A snap.
Her eyes widen in horror, and that’s her last action before she hears a bloodcurdling scream.

A silver-haired girl awakens, groaning, and she slowly sits up and looks around. All she finds is a black stage, and she stands up. A machine is in the center, and she taps it. It opens its eyes, and she shrieks and stumbles backwards.
A boy gets up, and she whirls around. He waves, and she rolls her eyes. He walks over to her, and they look at the machine.
“Welcome to the stage,” it says. “I am Karnak.”
