House Of The Witches

Chapter 36: Liar Liar

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 show up after I destroyed the cloth." Nelly argued back.

"Enough of your childish banter!" Moriah's spirit said to the both of them.

She went over to the sleeping Kristopher and put her hands over him and closed her eyes.

"This is the monster and he's still cursed but for some reason, the curse has become dormant." Moriah said to them.

"How's that possible?" Peace asked.

"I'm not sure but I can find out." Moriah said.

"Then go, go do your spirit witch stuff and find out what the hell is going on!" Nelly said to her.

"I'll be needing Jennifer's help." Moriah said and smiled at her.

"Whatever! Just get us our answers." Jennifer said with a sigh and spread her arms out, inviting Moriah to possess her again.

Moriah took control over Jennifer and flew off into the other parts of the house to find out what was happening.

"So now what?" Samson asked.

"I guess we'll have to wait for him to wake up." Darryl replied.

Meanwhile, Moriah had a hunch about why Kristopher was human again but she needed to confirm it.

She went back to the crypt and rolled the stone door aside. She flew in and went over to Constance's tomb.

"The only way this curse can be dormant is if the Witch who placed it disables it temporarily and that requires too much magic for a spirit which means..." Moriah said and opened up Constance's casket.

Her remains were still there but her spirit didn't fly out like Moriah was hoping.

"... you're not in here anymore." Moriah finished saying.

She began to hear a slow applause, coming from the entrance of the crypt. It was Peace who was clapping much to Moriah's surprise.

"Well done, Moriah, you've figured it out." Peace said with green glowing eyes.

"Constance! How did you get out and how long have you possessed this body?" Moriah asked, looking very shocked.

"For a while now, and it was so easy to fool you into thinking I was still Peace. You're not as intelligent as you think." Constance said.
