The cold air was like razor blade cuts on my skin as we walked fast headed towards the mansion.The trees swooshed from side to side as if anticipating and cheering us on,if not laughing at our pretence that we could fight this spirit and win.I breathed deeply struggling with each step and feeling my feet get heavier under me.My love,my one true love.I would walk on and ignore the pain.

Right there it stood in front of us.Scarier than ever and beckoning us to come closer and meet our fate."How do we fight it"? Olando asked.He was afraid,sweat running down his forehead even in this cold weather."I will go for the picture.Thats what i need to destroy.You go for the woman"I said luring a fake confidence.The woman nodded and handed me the bottle of gasoline she had carried with her.We proceeded into the house.The door creaked open by itself.It was quiet.I signalled to the two for us to split up.They were headed in the direction of the living room.I rushed into the bedroom.It was empty and almost dead.The colors of the painting were distorted.I couldnt see who was there anymore and i knew this couldnt be a good sign.I quickly poured the gasoline and i was only halfway through when i heard footsteps.I looked behind me and was met with a sharp slap that sent me all the way across the room and i could see stars.I opened my eyes.It was Chris.My Chris's body.He smiled."Baby,im sorry.You left me.I was worried about you."It said to me.I could feel tears about to run down but i was not going to cry."I needed some air"I replied."The first rule about marriage is obedience and then submission.Now how am i going to punish you for this" he said taking slow steps towards me.He swept me off the ground literally in a split second and threw me onto the bed.I felt pain from the rough landing.He forced himself on me and looked right into my eyes."This world can be ours if you stay by my side.We promised each other Hazel?Does it matter were we are.Its me.Im still here"he said.It was true we had promised each other.Right now i would chose staying here with him than losing him completely.He was my person.I was his.

Olando and the woman walked into the living room.There she was sitting on the velvet stool running her hands all over the crystal ball."Have you come to meddle Meredith.Meddling Meredith.You are behaving in a manner im not accustomed to"She said."That young lady you convinced to come back here.Her death is on you.She will chose him over surviving and you know that.Love always wins"she continued.Meredith was quiet as visions of the abuse she had endured came to her.She had escaped this place by luck and here she was back and willing to die again."You have to stop this Mama Loles.These spirits are angry and this place is going to crumble in your face"Meredith said.Mama laughed"I see your powers have grown.After tonight im sealing those souls to their eternal hell.My son will rule this place once more and you,i will make sure he gets rid of you for good.Tell me is the future looking good for me."She said standing.She walked over to Olando whose gaze was so fixed on the crystal ball that he missed the stab that came flying on his neck.The knife dug deep and he fell.Meredith ran to push the old lady away.Her skin turned pale as Meredith put her hands on her.She gasped and moved away."What have you done"She said holding Olando whose breathing was slow and almost giving in to the pain.Meredith quickly pulled out her charms and started chanting a spirit release spell.The crystal ball was glowing but nothing was happening.It was clear the ghost was stronger than she thought.Mama Loles laughed ,a loud piercing laugh.She was winning.

"I will go with you"I said finally giving up under his heavy body.Tears came down and from the corner of my eyes i could see the gasoline had sipped all over the painting.Now was my chance."Good good."he said letting his guard down.I gathered up all the strength i had and kicked him off the bed.I picked up the candle on the side of the bed and threw it on the painting setting it ablaze instantly.He screamed as if the fire was burning on his skin.I rushed to the corner and watched the picture emit a white smoke that went and hovered above him.He screamed harder knocking himself all over the place until a darkness came out of his body and went back into the picture.He fell down.I watched the picture melt down and the fire was spreading to the wallpaper.I rushed over to Chris's lifeless body.I shook him."Chris,Chris"I yelled.He opened his eyes slowly."Is it you Hazel,Am i alive?".I nodded.I couldnt say anything.I cried hard.The fire was spreading and the ground beneath us was shaking hard.We had to leave now before we became history.I struggled to lift him up ,he was weak but he helped me to carry himself out of the room.We had to look for that lady and Olando.It was over.

Meredith looked up at the ball.It was still shaking.Mama Loles jumped.Something was wrong."My child"she screamed as the trembling of the ground reached the room.She fell down in pain.How could it be.He was supposed to be free.He was supposed to live forever.She wailed.Meredith chanted in a low voice.The souls were close to freedom.

How can it be over so soon.?Its not.Vote and comment.
