I would recommend you readers to read the <Uncle and Aunty> chapter in <What’s your best horror story?> before reading the sequel. But don't worry, it won't affect much.
Thank you for your attention! Enjoy the story!

Step…step…the guards were walking around the cells to check on the inmates during nighttime.
”This round’s clear.” Said the taller guard.
The pair then proceeded to the next column.
“Inmate 302 checked, inmate 303 checked, inmate…Wait! Look!”
“She is missing!” The shorter guard pointed at the empty cell.
The two immediately pulled out their keys and entered. They looked around the cells: ordinary bed, ordinary sink…nothing seemed strange.
”Huh?” Before the two could say a word, a strong arm suddenly appeared in front of his face.
He was forcefully pushed to the wall, banging his face severely.
“What the!“ A shadow appeared behind the other guard’s neck.
Pak! His head was brutally twisted to the right side, leaving his lifeless body on the ground.
The shadow exchanged her clothes with the dead guard. She nonchalantly left the cell as an ordinary guard.
The dim light of the corridor finally revealed her identity: tomato-like red short hair, and a scar on her forehead.
She easily fooled the other guards by introducing herself as a rookie, making her pass through the exit without any suspicion.
Crack! Crack! A few thunders had hit the ground.
She had finally escaped and now she was planning her revenge.
”Those BRATS will pay for what they did to me and my husband!”
”HAHAHA!”
BANG! Here came another thunder which woke Allen up from sleep.
”What’s wrong, brother?” Worried Ashley who was sleeping opposite to his bed.
”Nothing but…”He paused before saying.
”Something isn’t right…”

Ring...ring...
The school bell rang and the kids happily left the classroom.
Allen packed all his books and walked to his locker. After tidying everything inside, he closed the locker door and saw Talbott standing right behind it.
”Whoa! You scare the heck out of me!”
”Sorry bud!” He chuckled, “Anyway, you got anything planned today?”
”No, I think I will study in the library.”
“Forget about studying!” He threw his books back to his locker.
Talbott then showed his mobile phone calendar with excitement, pointing at a very important date.
”Valentine’s Day? I don’t have a girlfriend...”
Talbott then gave him a bored expression.
“Huh…You want to confess your love to Ingrid!”
”Shh! Don’t say it out!” He immediately covered Allen’s mouth.
Allen smirked and asked, ”So…anything you want to do to make Ingrid fall for you?”
”You know…you only have two days for preparation.”
Talbott rubbed his chin, trying to think of a plan.
The two then saw Ingrid approaching them from the left.
”Hey boys! Ashley and I are going to the mall, coming?”
“Sorry, but we got some ‘boys’ business to do.”
”Yea…yea…call me if you need me.” The two watched Ingrid leave the hallway.
”You could have gone to the mall with them! You can choose a gift-“
He interrupted him with a confident smile,” I have a plan…”
Allen was confused and stared at the poster hanging on the wall behind Talbott.
”Don't tell me you want to get heart BALLOONS for Ingrid?”
”NO! I thought you were smart!”
Talbott explained his 'flawless' plan: He would invite the lucky lady to school at night and give her chocolate.
“By the way! Make sure you make the school as scary as possible!”
”This will make Ingrid feel scared and dependent on me!”
”Talbott…I don’t think this is how Misattribution of Arousal works…”
Talbott patted his chest, ensuring nothing would go wrong.
”And besides! You can take this opportunity to prank Ashley too!”
”Just think about how often she teased you!”
Allen paused for a second and smirked, patting Talbott's shoulder as a consent.
"I will think of something funny…for Ashley..."
The two burst into laughter when a teacher approached them.
"Oh! Mr. Walker! Do you need anything from me?"
"Allen, could you kindly help me sort out tomorrow's Literature Assignment?"
"Of course! Talbott, I will see you soon."
The two walked to a small office room and Allen tried to turn on the light.
"Ack!" He received a small electric shock and stepped back.
"My apologies, my office light has a small problem."
He put half of the books on his table, "Allen, could you put yours on the other table?"
While they were checking on the assignment, Ashley was watching them through the door gap.
"Oh... dear brother...you are trying to prank me on Valentine's Day? Not on MY watch!"
She walked away with an evil smile, jumping and dancing.
Ashley danced past a janitor who was mopping the floor, not recognizing her past enemy.
After ensuring Ashley had left, an evil grin appeared on her face, "I see you sneaky rats are trying to play with fire.."
"You play with fire, and you get BURNED!"

"Are you sure Talbott wants to meet me at school?"
"Yea! He even gave you a note!"
”A heart-shaped pink-colored note!”
"And at 11 pm?" Ingrid gave her a suspicious expression.
"You will see!"
The two stopped at the school gate and they saw the security guard was checking the school grounds.
"Ashley...maybe w-"
"What are you two young ladies doing out here? It’s almost midnight!"
The two turned and saw a police officer standing behind them.
"G-good evening…Officer Smith…”
”Miss Moses, what are you doing out this late?”
Ashley nervously leaned back and replied, ”We are just…j-just come back to get my homework…I-It's in my locker…”
"And Miss Raven?"
”Y-yeah! A-Ashley is always like that…”
"Didn't I tell you how dangerous it is to leave your house this late..."
”And don’t forget what happened to you ladies a few months ago! I don’t want you two to get hurt again.”
He left for patrol and the girls quickly sneaked into the school via the back door of the gym.
“Talbott, you ready for this?”
”Yup! I have hid the gift in a room and now Ingrid will do the rest.”
”It’s pretty dark in here…” All the lights at school were off.
”But this will make things more interesting…” The boys waited in the classroom with excitement.
“Hey Allen, can you help check if Ingrid has entered the school?”
Allen nodded and left.
Meanwhile, the security guard was patrolling in the playground when he suddenly heard footsteps.
“Halt! Who’s there?”
“SHOW YOURSELF!”
He heard footsteps from behind, walking towards him.
The security guard pretended to let his guard down. When the shadow approached him, he immediately turned to punch right into her face.
However, he never expected a woman to be that fast enough to dodge and land an attack within a few seconds.
He was hit, kicked onto the ground, and lying unconscious.
He used his last strength to look at his attacker: she was wearing an all-black outfit with a black cape.
”Ms….A-Addison…”
She smirked, then put on a dark mask and took the school keys from him,” I AM COMING FOR YOU, BRATS!”
She confidently walked to the entrance and locked the main door tightly.
“Perfect! Now-“
“You! How did you-“
She turned around to see a frightened Allen standing at the end of the hallway.
Immediately noticing how similar their height and body shape were, she thought of an evil plan.
”NO! DON’T COME ANY CLOSER!”

“The first hint is in a place where we fill our stomach.”
“This one’s easy! The cafeteria!”
The two walked together to the west wing of the school.
While they were passing by a classroom, a hand suddenly covered Ashley’s mouth and dragged her inside.
Ashley was thrown onto the floor and she glared at the masked person.
”Ashley?” Ingrid saw nothing behind her back.
”Maybe she went to the toilet…”
“You-“ Ashley paused and looked thoroughly at the woman” Wait…”
”Brother! I knew it was you!”
Ms. Addison was glad that her plan was working smoothly.
Since her hair was covered by a hoodie, Ashley let her guard down and hugged her.
”Foolish girl!” She pulled out her knife and was ready for revenge.
”DI-“
”You followed us to school, right? You must be tired! Here! Have a seat!”
Ms. Addison glanced at the chair. Amused by her naive behavior, she decided to toy with her prey for a little longer.
She accepted her offer and sat on the chair in front of hers.
The moment she sat on it, its legs immediately broke and she directly sat on the ground, pumping her butt hard.
”Oh! Are you ok?” She helped her to get up “Let’s find another seat for you! Here!”
As soon as Ms. Addison sat on the other chair, Ashley offered her a can of soft drink.
”You must be thirsty!”
Ms. Addison gladly took the can from her hands. She took a slip and immediately dropped the can on the floor.
”Hahaha…” Ashley burst into laughter. It was revealed that the straw was attached to a hot sauce packet.
”I even use the best Mexican hot sauce packet, do you like it?”
Ms. Addison was livid, frantically trying to get up from the chair but only realized that her butt was attached firmly to the chair.
”Oops! I smeared some super glue on it!”
She never thought she would be underestimated by a 15-year-old kid.
She ran away clumsily with the chair attached and almost tripped.
Ashley was proud of what she did but she realised she had forgotten one important thing.
”Damn! I should have filmed it online!”

Ingrid walked around the cafeteria to look for some clues, and eventually, she found a note stuck on the beverage machine.
“In the domain of Mr. Skeleton, you will find your path.”
”Domain of Mr. Skeleton? No…not the biology laboratory!”
Ingrid hated biology classes as there stood a big skeleton figure near her desk, making her feel uneasy every time she attended the lessons.
She reluctantly moved to the biology laboratory. When she was walking upstairs, she heard another pair of footsteps.
She froze in the spot to hear the sound more clearly. The footsteps become louder and faster.
Ingrid ran as fast as possible and the shadow was catching up. She didn’t dare to look back.
She ran past the hallway and made a right turn, unintentionally running past a small white line.
She stopped at the dead-end of the corridor, nervously stepping backward as she watched a masked person in a pair of messy trousers walking towards her.
”W-who are you!”
In order not to ruin her disguise, she remained silent.
Judging by her height and body size, she mistook her for Allen too.
”A-Allen…this isn't funny…"
"P-Put that knife down…p-please…”
”D-don’t come any closer…” Ms. Addison slowly walked towards her, toying with her knife when she accidentally tripped the line.
A bucket suddenly appeared from the ceiling, pouring all the red paint onto her body.
"HA! Got you!"
Ms. Addison turned around to see Ashley mocking her. She was livid and decided to change her target.
Another chase occurred.
"Wanna race? HAHA!"
Ashley ran along the corridor and stopped in front of the social study classroom.
She took a peek and found Talbott who was playing on his phone inside.
"When will Ingrid find the last note..."
Ashley smirked and decided to prank him out of boredom.
She took out a bag of marbles from her pocket and released them in front of the door.
”There you go…I hope it won’t hurt…hehe…”
Suddenly, she heard loud running footsteps from behind.
”Oh! You’re back for more, huh?”
Ms. Addison sprinted at her while Ashley immediately knocked on the door and left.
Talbott walked toward the door and opened it. However, since the door was opened outward, The marbles were pushed out from the side towards Ms. Addison.
She then stumbled on a few marbles, losing her balance and slipping toward the door.
Banging her head and bumping her butt again, she lost her consciousness temporarily.
“Who…Allen! Huh? Having a tough time pranking your sister?”
“Well…I can’t help much but good luck!” He laughed and took a closer look at him.
”By the way, nice costume you got there!”
”Where did you get those cool trousers?”

Meanwhile, Allen was stacking books on the ground according to their thickness and size.
"Come on...come on..."
"I'm almost there..."
He put the last one on the top of the 'stairs' he built using books.
"That should do the tricks!"
Allen slowly made his way to the top of the 'stairs' and carefully opened the windows above the bookshelves.
"Good..." He first carefully moved his lower body out of the window and jumped out, successfully landing in the corridor.
He was relieved that he could finally escape from the library.
"Now's not the time to relax! We have a bigger problem here!"
He ran around the school building to search for his friends.

“Please…don’t move…” Ingrid carefully stretched out her arm toward the skeleton model.
She carefully opened the hand of the model and immediately took the note.
"Meet me in the room where the poem of chocolate resides."
"Poem of chocolate? What on earth is that?"
She was confused by the last note but there was no time for her to analyze as the masked woman was back for more.
"Huh? Allen?"
She remained silent and stared at Ingrid.
"This is not funny!" Ingrid shouted, "Put that horrible mask away!"
Ms. Addison pulled out her knife again and aimed at her. Ingrid immediately turned her body to dodge the attack, causing her knife to stick in the sternum of the model.
Ingrid took her chance to escape, she frantically ran downstairs, trying to find Ashley.
”Ashley! ASHLEY! Your brother has turned crazy!”
Her voice echoed through the corridor but no one replied, she signed and continued to walk around.
She quietly made her way to the second floor and stopped in front of Mr. Walker’s office.
”Wait a minute…poem of chocolate? Yes! The literature class!”
The moment she put her hand on the doorknob, a knife stabbed into the wood next to it.
Ingrid gave a small scream. She tried to run but Ms. Addison grabbed her hand and pulled her down.
She was pinned onto the ground, struggling and kicking her stomach.
”Allen! This is insane!”
“Get your hands off me!” Ingrid deliberately kicked her genital area, allowing Ingrid to stand up again.
Ms. Addison proceeded to push her to the wooden door. The door was not locked and the two entered the office by the push.
“Show yourself!” Ingrid demanded.
The shadow emerged from behind and Ingrid immediately grabbed her hands, stopping the knife.
She pushed the woman to the office table, defending herself.
"She came..." Talbott was hiding under the office table, taking a few deep breaths.
"Okay...I can DO this!"
“Ingrid! I have been meaning to tell you…”
”You are my quest.”
After uttering four simple yet beautiful words, he gave her a warm hug with a soft smile.
“Shall we…kiss?” He proceeded to put his face closer to her.
Ingrid was watching him by side with surprise and fear.
“Umm…”
He turned his head to see Ingrid standing next to the bookshelf, confused and dumbfounded.
He instantly turned on the office lamp and saw the truth.
"DAMN! You almost ruin everything, ALLEN!"
"BOOM!" Ashley suddenly jumped out from a storage closet that was next to Ingrid.
"Good gracious! ASHLEY!"
”Hahaha…”She howled, ”Never underestimate the ‘the world’s best prank master’! ASHLEY MOSES!”
The three looked at her silently and Ingrid was the first one to break the silence.
”ALLEN! This isn't funny! A knife?”
”Huh? I thought you only wanted to prank Ashley?”
”Wait what-“
”Hold on! I have noticed something strange about Allen.”
Ingrid walked toward her and said, ”You have not yet spoken a word since we met.”
”True, he is not a silent protagonist!”
The three slowly approached her and Ms. Addison had already held the knife in her pocket tightly.
“GUYS! BACK OFF!” A familiar voice appeared.
“TAKE THIS!” Allen appeared from behind and smashed her face with a plate of whipped cream, then he poured a bottle of spiders onto her head.
"ALLEN? There are TWO Allen?"
"I have TWO brothers?"
"She locked me in the library, pretending to be me."
"Right? Ms. Amy Addison?"
They gasped at the infamous teenager-killer Amy Addison.
”AMY ADDISON! I ALMOST GAVE MY FIRST KISS TO A SERIAL KILLER!”
”SO AFTER ALL MY HARD WORKS, I PRANK THE WRONG GUY!”
”Ashley, this is not the point!”
“STUPID BRATS! NO! GET AWAY FROM MY FACE!” She was frantically removing the spiders and the cream from her head.
”Umm…Talbott? Why are the spiders moving? Did you buy the electronic one?”
”Actually...I buy them from a pet shop. You said you wanted the prank to be realistic, right?”
”YES? But this is far beyond a normal prank!”
"NO! SPIDERS!" Ashley grabbed her brother's arm tightly.
They all looked at her miserable status in horror.
”THIS IS WHY I HATE YOU SPOILED BRATS! MY SON IS DEAD BECAUSE OF A STUPID BRAT LIKE YOU!”
She then explained that her son died in a car accident ten years ago and the culprit was a drunk 17-year-old kid.
“Now I am going to take revenge on you brats for me AND my husband.”
She walked around each of them individually and stopped in front of Allen.
”I was planning to kill you at last...”
Talbott tried to escape but the door had been locked while they were distracted. There was only one window near the desk but it was too small for the boys to pass through.
"Where are you going, boy? The party's just started!"
”Well..well...isn’t it a bit too dark here?”
”I would like to see your crying face…hahaha…”

“Mister? What are you doing here at midnight?” Officer Smith asked suspiciously to an electrician who was fixing the wires in the hallway.
“I was hired to fix the wires in the main hall. When I entered the school gate, the security guard was missing and the entrance was locked.”
“That's why I came. How did you enter the school?”
”A kind young man pointed the direction for me. I entered via the back door.”
”The young man then left in a rush, saying he was finding his friends."
"He even told me to stay safe.”
”Huh...Do you know his name?”
”No…but he wears a white shirt and blue trousers. He looks like a…model student?”
”Hmm...Mr...M-Moses?”
“Oh! Sheesh...”
”I accidentally rewired the electricity to an office on the second floor...but it's not a big deal.”
Ms. Addison put her finger on the switch and laughed.
”The end is nigh!“
”Wait! Isn’t it-“
”I-“
"NO!"
The siblings looked at each other at the same time when she switched on the light.
A large amount of electricity flowed through her body. Ms. Addison’s body was frantically shaking, with a frightened expression.
The girls covered their eyes with their hands.
“Oh god…” Muttered the boys.
After a few seconds, the electricity stopped and her burnt body was on the ground.
The lights flickered for a few seconds and were all switched on.
"Did I mention that Mr. Walker's office has a light problem..."
"And...did I mention that I put an electrical amplifier inside the switch..."
The three stared at her with a bewildered expression.
"Why would you do that...Are you crazy?" Shouted Talbott.
"Do we have to go to jail? NO!"
"Calm down guys!" Allen took a deep breath, "This is right of self-defense. Do you even pay attention in social study class?"
"Hey hey! That's not the point!"
”So...what do we do now?” Asked Ashley.
”I think Officer Smith will know what to do...”
The four stared at the dead body and called the police.

“Why is it when something happens, it is always you four?”
“I’ve never met these people in my whole life...” Said Allen with an expressionless face.
”WELL! EXCUSE ME! Brother!”
“Silence!”
”Sorry…Officer Smith…”
“But we help you catch the serial killer!”
”Ashley, she was already dead...” Replied Talbott.
"At least I don't give my first kiss to the wrong person!"
"YOU-"
“SILENCE!”
The four raised their heads and looked at him.
He sighed, ”Why are you kids at the crime scene again..."
The four looked at one another and reluctantly spoke the truth.
"WHAT! PARDON ME! Valentine's Day? Siblings pranks? Misattribution of Arousal? Are you kidding me?"
"Is this a joke to you?"
"Sir...We didn't mean to cause any trouble..."
He looked at Allen and signed, "Thank god you kids are safe..."
"You kids are free to go. BUT! STRAIGHT TO BED!" He then left with another officer.
Talbott stared at the gift inside his pocket, he gathered up his courage, "Ingrid, can we talk?"
Allen and Ashley looked at each other before taking their leaves. He took Ingrid to a park near their school.
”Talbott?”
”Ingrid…I-I…Sorry…”
”I put you in another trouble again…”
”Talbott, this is not your fault. We never expected Ms. Addison would come for revenge…”
"But still...I was the one who asked you to come..."
"I-"
Ingrid paused him and gave him a gentle smile. The two paused for a few seconds, not knowing what to say.
”I…want to give you something…very important…”
He took a small gift box from his pocket and Ingrid opened it: a beautiful cat necklace was placed inside.
”Remember the last time we went to the mall, you were looking at this necklace before you left.”
”Here, have this.”
He took it out and put it around her neck. Ingrid looked at the small cat figure in front of her chest, with her heart filled with warmth.
“I thought giving chocolate is the most boring idea…but…”
He handed her a rectangle-shaped box.
”Happy Valentine’s Day.”
Ingrid smiled and she then took a heart-shaped chocolate box from her bag.
”Happy Valentine’s Day, Talbott!”
Talbott looked at the exquisite box in his hands, he smiled softly and thanked her.
"You are my quest."
His whole face blushed as he didn't know that she still remembered his words.
"Your words matter the most."
"That means a lot to me." The two hugged.
The two looked at each other's eyes. Ingrid was always captivated by his sapphire-blue eyes.
"Has anyone told you that your eyes are stunning?"
"That person is right in front of my eyes." Talbott moved his head towards her and kissed her forehead.
The siblings are watching them behind a tree.
"So...I think my plan succeeded?"
"I only regret not pranking you!"
"Excuse me? You are the one who is causing all the trouble?"
"If I weren't there, you would have been a dead man!"
"Well, why thank you! Miss 'the world’s best prank master’!"
Ashley deliberately pushed him, making him enter their sight.
"Allen! You're a dead man!"
Allen nervously stepped back and apologized.
"Hahaha..."
"You too, Ashley!"
The lovebirds sighed but were amused by their actions.
"Do you even know what privacy means..." The three laughed.
"Hey guys! Shall we get some midnight snack on our way home?"
"AHEM!"
A police car appeared behind them and Officer Smith rolled down the window.
"I thought I told you kids to go straight back home..."
"Sorry..."
He opened the car door and offered them a ride.
"Wait...something isn't right..."
"What's wrong, Ashley?"
"I feel like I have forgotten something..."
"I think it won't be that important."
"Mr. Dagon's right! Have a rest, kids!"

"Good morning, Mr. Walker!"
"Morning, Miss Miller!"
"Great news! I heard that your light problem has been fixed!"
"Wonderful!"
Mr. Walker entered the office and happily switched on the light.
Buzzing...buzzing...
Unfortunately for Mr. Walker, the electrical amplifier hadn't been removed and moderate electricity passed through his body for a few seconds.
But luckily, the amount wasn't fatal. He was slightly burned and fell straight on the floor.
In the end, Mr Walker was the poor guy who suffered the most indirectly.
