"I really hoped that he would say that he was sorry for leaving me, maybe try to still keep in touch and we'd be able to pick up where we left off but he chased me away. And that's why I hate him!" Nelly finished saying, staring at Jennifer.She understood now his hatred for his father and couldn't blame him for it even if she wanted to because she also hated her parents for something not even half as worse."Our lives really suck, don't they?" Peace said. No one could disagree with her because they knew that she was right.Samson took out his phone. It was still on but there was absolutely no signal. So, he went to his music playlist and selected the Christmas song, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" by Mariah Carey.He placed his phone in the middle of the table and they listened to the beautiful lyrics while staring at each other.It was almost as if the lyrics of the song were meant for them because, at that particular moment, all they wanted for Christmas was to be home with their
Looking for this Dagger would be as difficult as looking for Santa Claus when he comes to put your presents under the Christmas tree.Some kids usually stay up late so they can catch a glimpse of Santa, but they never do. The two situations are almost similar but in one case, you frown because you didn't see what you were looking for but in the case of Darryl, Jennifer, Samson, Nelly and Peace, they will probably be slaughtered by a monster and forgotten in the Constance's house, never to be discovered.****************"Alright! Where do you think Constance would have hidden her Dagger?" Peace asked Moriah, although she was too thrilled about it."Well, this house didn't exist while I was still alive so I don't know for certain but what I do know is that the Dagger has to be close to the Witch. It's a very important tool and since she used it to lay the curse on Kristopher, then it must be in her bedroom." Moriah said."But we don't know which room was her bedroom!" Darryl said."Yea
Samson, Nelly and Darryl were slicing snakes apart like they were playing "Fruit Ninja" but it was only their situation worse as the snakes just seemed to be getting even more. "This is hopeless guys, we're just making more." Nelly said with so much fear. "We gotta open the door and get out of here!" Darryl said. Nelly turned around and hit the door but it didn't open. "Do you guys know that spell Carl uses to open doors? Maybe that's what we need." He asked. A snake leapt at Samson and he caught it in the air and threw it away. "I think it's Ureta something!" Samson said to Nelly. Nelly faced the door and put his hand out, while Darryl and Samson kept killing the snakes. "Ureta Exempo! Ureta Estello! Ureta Magneto!" Nelly said but none of the spells he was saying was correct. "Guys it's not working!" He alerted them. "Keep trying." Darryl shouted. Nelly continued saying random spells until..."Ureta Expello!" The door blasted open and the guys jumped outside and slammed th
"Skreels are loyal pets. They stay loyal to their Witch even after their death. They can live for centuries and within that period of time, they remain loyal." Moriah told the kids while petting Rojan.Samson got on his feet and went over to his friends. They pulled him over to them and all asked if he was alright."I'm alright guys." He said to them,"It's okay, Rojan. I need Constance's Dagger for something very important and once I'm done, I'll bring it back to you, ok? Now go!" Moriah said to the Skreel and it ran off, back into Constance's bedroom."Alright then, now that the Skreel is gone, we can get back to trying to break the curse and get out of here." Nelly said."Indeed we can. We have everything we need now, the curse item, and her Witch Dagger!"Guys? We kinda have a problem!" Peace said, wanting to tell them about the second Witch Dagger that she and Jennifer found."Damn it, what is it this time? Nelly asked in frustration."THIS is the problem!" Peace said and went ov
PRESENTLY . . The kids all sat in a circle and were about to begin with the ritual to break the curse. Peace brought out the box and opened it. She took out the cursed item and handed it to Nelly. Nelly took the cloth and put it on the floor. He held a flaming torch and was ready to burn the cloth. "You ready for this, Darryl?" Nelly asked him because he was the one entrusted with running the dagger into Kristokulos' heart. "Yeah! Do it." Darryl said with Constance's Witch Dagger in hand. Samson, Jennifer and Peace also had their weapons with them. Moriah had enchanted them to make them stronger but only the Witch Dagger could kill the beast. Nelly set the cloth on fire and the kids watched as it burned very slowly until it became a pile of ash. The building suddenly started shaking, almost like there was an earthquake happening. They started hearing rain falling outside the house and the sparks of lightning which was followed by the boom of thunder. They couldn't tell whether
Samson and Nelly both carried the strange man who claimed to be Kristopher back to the main hall. He was very weak and tired so he was asleep and they placed him on the couch. Back in the room, Moriah got out of Jennifer's body again so she could witness what was happening. "What's going on? Who's that man on the couch?" Jennifer asked. "Oh right! Moriah possessed you so you don't remember anything after that. This guy claims to be Kristopher." Nelly told her. "What? Does that mean the curse is broken?" Jennifer asked with a smile. "No it's not, which means this man is not who he says he is and even if his name is Kristopher, he's probably not our Kristopher." Darryl said. "What are the chances that we would run into someone named Kristopher, in this house, and it wouldn't be the same guy?" Nelly asked Darryl, certain that this was Kristokulos as a man. "This can't be him unless the curse wouldn't still be affecting us." Darryl argued. "It is him which is why the monster didn't
"Do you really mean it? Destroying this Dagger with a particular spell will set me free?" Kristopher asked desperately."Oh yes, it will. Just follow my instructions and you'll be able to reunite with your family or live a new life." Constance said."Okay. Tell me what I must do." Kristopher said to Constance.Constance got closer to Kristopher and put the dagger in his hand and leaned in towards his ear."Once you awaken, tell the children who you are and gain their trust. They'll ask how you're a man again, tell them you don't know how. They'll be even more desperate to break the curse but without the beast, they won't know how to. That's when you'll tell them that you know of another way to lift the curse on the house so you all can leave the house. It's an ancient spell that uses powerful dimensional forces to destroy powerful items, like the Dagger I've given to you. That Dagger has some of my powers in it and once you destroy it, the curse on you will break." Constance instructe
Kristopher got on his feet and walked around. He looked at his arm, touched himself, feeling his skin. He hadn't felt like a human in centuries. "I have been a monster for so long that I almost forgot what it felt like to be a man." He said. "We're so sorry about that, Kristopher. But don't worry, we plan on breaking the curse and finally freeing you. But...you won't survive it." Samson told him. "It doesn't matter if I die. What I want more than anything is to be with my family again in the afterlife." Kristopher replied. "The only problem is that you're human again. You already remember your humanity and trying to break the curse with you in this form would surely not work." Darryl said. Just then, Peace gave Kristopher a signal with her eyes to act like he was just seeing the Dagger. Kristopher started to stare at her hands and the guys noticed. "What are you looking at?" Peace asked. "That Dagger in your hand. Is it a Witch Dagger?" Kristopher asked. "Yes it is. It belongs
