Someone else's POV

She released me, she finally released me of my agony, my mutilated fate and my personal hell. I knew all the time she is my angel. Not three days ago I saw her near my grave shedding tears for me. It broke my already dead heart. I wanted to go to her, hold her in my arms, kiss her forehead and hum to her. I felt so helpless and all because of that old hag Minerva Keyton and, Oh I noticed her fool of a grandson hitting hard on Emma. Damn him to hell and back, Emma is mine and she loves me.

Talking of her, she has changed a lot. The light brown hair is now as dark as my favorite chocolate. She has gotten paler, taller and she looked weak, broken, depressed and all of this because they decided to kill me. She is still beautiful and caring, the way she was before.

Now, that I am back, I will take my revenge. I will kill each and everyone of them. Those who killed me, those who veiled my murder with a stupid car accident and those who trapped me. She thinks I died in an accident but now, they will face their worst accident. I will make sure that murdering me was their last mistake and the biggest. A mistake that will never go un-forgiven. Now that I am back, the Mint Town will face my fury. I will drag each and everyone of them into my purgatory.

But first I need Emma!

Emma's POV

I woke with a start; a thin sheet covered my body and I felt a blinding pain in my jaw. I looked around and my eyes landed on a figure siting not so far from the bed I was lying, mother!

"Oh, Emma. We were so scared for you." She said and hugged me tightly, I flinched. I was bruised, all over my arms.

"Mom. What happened?" I asked her trying to remember what could have given me these wounds.

"Don't you think, we should ask the same question to you?" A very angry Eddie came into the room followed by Tiana.

"What went into your head and that of your silly friend? Going to graveyard at night?" Eddie questioned in anger.

Graveyard, yes! I was there and I wasn't alone, I was with Li.

"Where is Lisa?" I asked

"Your friend should be thankful that Mr. Carles heard her shrieking her lungs out and then he found you lying all cold near that shrine." Eddie said pointing his index finger at me.

"Did you say Shrine?" this time it was Tiana. Her eyes bulged out when Ed nodded his head and she gulped. Fear slowly crept all over her face and she became as white as a freshly painted statue.

"You didn't touch it, did you?" she asked, her voice quaking.

"I don't remember anything, I collided with something and then It's all blank out here." I said pointing to my head.

"Oh, God Emma. You should not touch it. Don't and I repeat don't you ever go close to that monument." She warned me.

"But why?" Mom and I asked in sync.

"She is not even going to the graveyard now and not that stupid friend of yours." Eddie said glaring at me and stormed out of the room.

"But why?" I whined and stomped my foot beneath the sheets.

"Emma, that man found you out cold at the graveyard at the night. You were all covered in bruises, look at your hand. And there is no possible explanation as to what happened to you both there. Was there someone? I mean someone tried to touch you or worse rape you?" she asked, her voice shaking

"No, mom. There was no one just us. And then it all went dark and we started retreating but then something happened and I lost Li. She shouted at me to follow her out of the cemetery. Then I ran into something. That's all." I told her.

"Anyways, you should rest for now. You must be starving too, you were out for some 12 hours. Even the doctors were not able to do anything." Mom said. It was then, when I realised that I am in a hospital. Eddie came back shortly with a doctor.

"When can we go home?" I asked her

"After I do your check-up" She smiled softly at me.

"Is Lisa here too?" I asked mom

"No, she is at her place." Eddie replied.

On the way back, I sat next to Ed placing my head on his shoulder, he wrapped his arms around me, kissed my forehead and mumbled a small apology for scolding me at the hospital. Dad smiled at me from the rear-view mirror, he was driving us back. I smiled back at him and closed my eyes, but before I could close them I saw someone outside the window, Alex and I was cold to the world again.
