(Janet's POV)

“Alice, first promise me that whatever I am going to do you won't stop me,” I said.
“Ok I promise, I won't.” She said.
“Alright listen to me very very carefully.” I said and she nodded.
“I'll bring Jeremy back, and all you have to do is take out the coffin so you can open it as soon as his spirit enters his body. You won't have much trouble doing this because I've already broken the seals.” I explained briefly.
“And?” She asked.
“What and?” I asked, getting confused.
“That's all? What are you up to Janet? You are hiding something from me, aren't you?” She asked suspiciously.
“Alice, I am going to do something I shouldn't,” I said in a shaking voice.

Janet tearfully begins reading Jeremy's unfinished letter…
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: “Why Jeremy why? Why are you not here? Why are you dead? Why you? Why? You did nothing. You died for nothing. Just Why?” (She whispered while sobbing.)
Janet: No, I have to be strong. I have to save Alice and you Jeremy. I will bring you back. (She got up, wiped away her tears, and lit three candles. Then she began a chant to summon the ancestral witch, the first witch of the Milton family.)
(Creepy voices began to echo, and within moments, a woman's voice began a conversation with Janet.)
Women's voice: Janet Milton.
Janet: I apologise for waking you and wasting your time but I need your help.
Women's voice: You don't need to apologise. I am here to help you.
Janet: I think you know everything about me.
Women's voice: I even know why you called me, Janet. You want him back. But that's not possible.
Janet: As far as I know you fulfil everyone's wish, am I right?
Women's 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?
Women's 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.
Women's voice: And so she has to comply with certain conditions.
Janet: Conditions? (She asked getting a little surprised.)
Women's 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? Will she die again?
Women's voice: Yes.
(There was deadly silence for a moment.)
Women's 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 else, I want Jeremy. Please try to understand. I love him, he loves me too. Please…I beg you. I swear I will do whatever you want. (She said while crying her eyes out.)
(After thinking for few minutes the ancestral witch started speaking.)
Women's voice: Fine. But there is one condition.
Janet: What?
Women's voice: You have to kill someone. Anyone you want.
Janet: Wh-what? What are you saying?
Women's 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 wrong. I-I can't. I can't take someone's life just to fulfil my own needs.
Women's voice: I am sorry Janet but this is the only way.
(The situation becomes very troublesome for Janet and then after thinking for a while, she starts speaking.)
Janet: I can kill anyone. Hmmm…anyone means anyone. Alright. I will. I will give you one life and you will give his life back.

“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.
