"I...okay." Penelope gulped, but closed her eyes and opened the chest, revealing...
Nothing. There was absolutely nothing in the chest. But suddenly, everyone in the castle, and everyone in other areas, would feel a strange sensation in their minds, an overwhelming pain as if something was trying to break free within your mind. The worlds around you began changing rapidly, and you saw a myriad of scenes flash before your eyes:
Until, finally, it landed on one area in particular.
Unlike the others, this one wasn't a flash, and remained a few seconds, only long enough to hear a woman say,
"Gotcha~" followed by a terrified scream.
Then everything went black.

When everyone came to, they were right back where they started, in their seats, though now it was night time. Though groggy, you were quickly able to recognize Headmaster Grimm taking to the mic, visibly shaken. "Is everyone all right?" he asked. "Even the teachers were affected...I feared the worst for you all. I'm afraid I have some terrible news, everyone. Your fellow student, Mallory Jekyll, was behind a horrid terrorist attack upon our school. Do not be amgry at her, no; in fact, it is a tragedy. This poor girl was not properly prepared for her role, and the Hyde part of her took over and attacked in retaliation. She has been expelled from Ever After High, and will be finishing her education at Monster High, instead. I am extremely sorry to all of you for this mess. There is food in the Castleteria for you, and classes will be cancelled tomorrow to allow you all time to recuperate. We will, however, email you your assignments for this group project, and find a way to make sure no one suffers as much pressure as Miss Jekyll did ever again. Again, I am terribly sorry, children. At this time you may come to me for questions, go get something to eat, or return to your dorms, as it is quite late."
And with that, he left you all to your own devices.
