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
"What is it, Moriah? What did you find out?" Jennifer asked her as she moved around the house, trying to get back to the main hall."Constance is planning to destroy her Witch Dagger which will make her practically unstoppable and we have to prevent her from doing so." Moriah said and they got to the top of the house.Moriah hid in a corner and watched as the kids were preparing to perform the spell. They had found all the items that were needed. The candles had been lit, the rat had been found and Kristopher was using the chalk to draw the image of the three pointed star on the floor."What are they doing?" Jennifer asked."They are preparing to cast the spell that would destroy the Dagger." Moriah answered."But why would they be helping her?" Jennifer wondered."She's obviously deceiving them into doing it." Moriah said."Then what are we waiting for? Let's stop it before they do what they're about to do." Jennifer suggested."We have to be smart about this Jennifer. Constance is t
"Isn't that your Witch Dagger?" Jennifer asked Moriah in her head."It is, but don't worry, I won't let her use it on you." Moriah assured Jennifer."Are you ready to die, Moriah?" Constance asked."If you use my Dagger on me, you'll only kill this body. My spirit will still exist and since there's still a curse on this house preventing me from crossing over to the underworld, I'll remain here and I'll be able to possess another body." Moriah told her."That's if your spirit still exists!" Constance said and was walking closer to her."What is that supposed to mean?" Moriah asked."My blood is currently flowing through your veins and I don't need to tell you that a Witch's blood has her magic in it. When I kill that body, your spirit will need a new host and as soon as you come out, I'll be able to absorb my power by absorbing you, adding your power to mine." Constance said."That's impossible! A Witch cannot absorb another Witch's power. It can't be done.""O but it can, Moriah. Sinc
THE DAY NELLY OVERDOSED AND ALMOST DIED..."I need you guys to get me some water and towels. I also need some smelling salts, lime juice and a pack of ice." Samson instructed the guys.They all ran off to get what Samson had asked for."You'll be alright buddy. You'll be just fine." Samson said to Nelly.Peace came running back with some water that she got from the kitchen."Here's some water." She said worriedly."Put it down. Where's the towel?" Samson asked."Darryl's getting it." Peace said."Tell them to hurry it up." Samson shouted and Peace went to help them move quicker.Darryl showed up with the towel and Jennifer brought a pack of ice, some lime, and smelling salts from the fridge."Here is everything you asked for but how's this going to help him?" Jennifer asked in fear as well."I saw a girl use these items to save someone who had ODed at a seniors party last year. She used these things and revived him and that's what we're going to do as well." Samson said.He turned Nel
Kristokulos was circling around Nelly's dead body and sniffing it. After sniffing for a while, he stopped and walked away from him."Why is he not eating the body?" Mara Anjonu asked Constance."The Kriss Curse makes the victim a death and flesh craving monster. One cannot be without the other. He didn't kill the boy so he's not going to eat him." Constance explained.She then moved away from Mara Anjonu and went over to a corner. She conjured a mirror out of thin air and stood in front of it, observing her new body; Peace's body."I like this one a lot. I think I'll keep her permanently when I get out of this house." Constance said."Speaking of this house, I've been in it for hundreds of years and I've realized that it's not a normal house." Mara Anjonu mentioned."Of course it's not a normal house. I needed an impenetrable fortress, somewhere that I could hold up for when the other Witches would come for me, in fear of my power. So, I had this house built from scratch and when the
