"Alice, first promise me that whatever I am going to do you won't stop me," I said timidly.
"Ok I promise, I won't." She said smiling.
"Alright listen to me very very carefully." I said and she nodded seriously.
"I will bring Jeremy back and all you have to do is take out the coffin so that you can open it as soon as his spirit enters his body. You will not face much difficulty in doing this because I have already broken the seals." I explained to her briefly.
"And?" She asked.
"Huh?" I was confused or perhaps I knew what she wanted to ask.
"That's all? I mean this is all that I have to do. But how? What are YOU going to do Janet?" She asked curiously.
"Janet, you are hiding something from me, aren't you? Don't. Just don't hide anything and please tell. Tell me everything. EVERYTHING." She said looking straight into my eyes.
"Alice, I am going to do something I shouldn't," I said in a shaking voice.
**************Flashback**************
Dear Janet,
My theory to love was always to find my 'the one' for me, but you changed my thoughts. You taught me that it was not about finding 'the one' but two people shaping each other, shaping the relationship and shaping the way of life. In the process, you became my way of life.
After meeting you I realised I didn't fall in love with you, but I walked in love with you, with my eyes open, with so many crosses and turns.
And I'm writing this letter to tell you that I'm sincerely and deeply in love with you!!
Janet, you are the most wonderful person I have ever met. You are smart and brave. I feel so lucky and proud to have you in my life.
Janet Milton, I....
Janet: Jeremy....(whispering)
Why Jeremy why? Why are you not here? Why are you dead? Why you? Why? Why dear? You did nothing. You died for nothing. Why? (Crying hysterically).
No, I have to be strong. I have to save Alice.... and you. I will bring you back Jeremy. (Stood up, wiping tears)
It's time now. It's time to call them. (lighting candles).
taksak tambam lasfos atios...(chanting to call the ancestral witch. The first witch of the family)
Divine voice: Janet Milton.
Janet: I apologise for waking you and wasting your time but I need your help.
Divine voice: You don't need to apologise. I am here to help you.
Janet: I think you must be knowing everything about me.
Divine voice: I even know why you called me, Janet. You want him back. But it's not possible.
Janet: As far as I know you fulfil everyone's wish, am I right?
Divine voice: Everything has its limits, Janet. It's the law of the universe, you can not bring back a dead person.
Janet: If Cassandra can come back why can't he? If she can come back then why not an innocent human?
Divine voice: Janet, I understand what you are going through, but it's against the law of the universe.
Janet: Isn't it against the law of the universe to return Cassandra? She was dead too.
Divine voice: And so she has to comply with certain conditions.
Janet: Conditions? (Getting a little surprised)
Divine voice: The universe allowed her to come back for a purpose but she would be punished if she could not fulfil it. If she fails to do what she has come for she will be dragged to hell.
Janet: You mean if she can't make herself immortal then she won't be here anymore? She will die again?
Divine voice: Yes.
.

(silence for a moment)
.

Divine voice: Janet I can help you if you need anything else but I can't bring Jeremy back to life.
Janet: No, I don't want anything, I want Jeremy. Please try to understand. I love him, he loves me too. Pleaseeeee...I beg you. I swear I will do whatever you want. (crying)
Divine voice: (sighing in defeat) Fine. But there is one condition.
Janet: What?
Divine voice: You have to kill someone. Anyone you want.
Janet: Wh.. what? What are you saying?
Divine voice: As I said earlier, everything has its limits and you cannot go beyond that. If you give me a soul, I will give back a soul.
Janet: But this is a sin. I..I can't...I can't take someone's life just to fulfil my meaning.
Divine voice: I am sorry Janet but this is the only way.
.
.
(Silence)
.
.
.
Janet: I can kill anyone. Hmmm.. anyone means anyone. (Whispering)
Alright. I will. I will give you one life and you will give his life BACK. (giving a nasty smirk)
**********Flashback ends***********
"Oh my god, Janet! Would you really kill someone?" Alice asked timidly.
"I have to," I said.
"Wh..who?" She asked in a shaking voice.
