"I am a witch!" I kept whispering these words for a while as I still couldn't believe what was happening to me. For a few moments, I felt as if I was frozen in place. After a while, I somehow stood up and sat on the bed. I was so distressed that I didn't even have the courage to read the journal. But then I thought that I can't stop myself now and I have to read it to know the whole truth. My hands were still shaking, but I gathered courage and opened the journal and started reading…

(Author's POV)
Centuries ago in the year July 18, 1824,

Dr. Noah Branson: The whole city is in terror.

Mrs. Katherine Milton: We should have killed her as soon as she was born. You guys needlessly sympathized with a demon.

Mr. Jayme Johnson: Mrs. Milton is right. We should have killed her. She even killed her mother.

Mrs. Milton: And she didn't spare her father either.

Mr. Jonathan Cruz: What? How can someone kill their parents?

Dr. Branson: Because she's a demon. A demonic witch. She has no mercy, no sympathy. She just wants what she wants.

(There was a creepy silence in the whole atmosphere and sign of terror was prominently visible
on everyone's face.)

Mrs. Milton: No! there's no point in sitting here twiddling our thumbs.

Mr. Cruz: But what can we do? There's no way to stop her.

Mrs. Milton: There is a way.

Dr. Branson: What is it?

Mrs. Milton: We'll kill her. It's the only way.

Mr. Branson: And you think that's easy to do?

Mrs. Milton: As if I don't know how dangerous she is. We have to take this risk. We all have to do it before she becomes immortal.

July 22, 1824

Cassandra: Humans are nothing but useless creatures on this earth and I hate them. I have asked Katherine a million times to join me but she chose the human world. Poor witch! I feel sorry for you Kathrine. I always wanted to turn this world into a satanic place, a dark demonic world ruled by me. And I will do just that. For this I need three kinds of souls, a psychic witch's soul, a doppelganger’s soul, and a pure soul of a human. I have killed many humans, but all their souls are dark, full of desire, hunger and thirst just like mine?! Hah! It doesn't matter though. I won't stop and I will kill more and more people until I get what I want.

"And I won't let you do that." (A voice came from somewhere, and when Cassandra looked back she saw Katherine standing a few steps away.)

Cassandra: Hi Katherine! It's good to see you.

Katherine Milton: Stop killing people.

Cassandra: Or else?

Katherine: I will kill you.

Cassandra: Cliche

Katherine: Not this time. What if I say I know how to end your game of blood?

Cassandra: Oh! So now you are challenging me.

Katherine: Save yourself if you can because I am sure you won't be able to escape this time.

Cassandra: Okay. Challenge accepted but save the future if you can.

Katherine: Future? What do you mean?

Cassandra: Figure it out.You are not that stupid.

September 6, 1824

Dr Branson: What are you doing? How long will it take to finish?

Mr Cruz: Can you finish it before the whole town turns into corpses?

Mrs Milton: Everybody shut up! Either help me or get out. If you don't want to see more corpses then please shut up.
(She said as she placed some pieces of oak wood on the ground and started sprinkling holy water on them.)

Mr Johnson: Everybody please be quiet and let her concentrate.

Mrs Milton: Uaye taksak tambam quetsi... (She started chanting as she cut her palm with a knife and kept dropping her blood on each piece of oak wood.)

Mrs Milton: Now I have to link us. I need either of you.

Dr Branson: I'm ready.

Mr Cruz: I'm ready too.

(Katherine cut the palm of each of them and now the blood of all three started falling on the pieces of oak wood.
Everyone holds each other's palms and she continues chanting. As she chants, the pieces of wood start joining together and take a shape. Eventually, it takes the shape of a dagger.)

Mrs. Milton: It's done. This is the ultimate weapon.

Mr. Cruz: Finally! (He said in relief.)

Mrs. Milton: But there's a problem!

Dr. Branson: What now?

Mrs. Milton: This is the only weapon and it can only be used once.

Mr Cruise: You mean if she won't die in one attempt, we can't kill her?

Mrs Milton: Yes. We have to stab her in the heart in one go because this weapon will self-destruct after a single attack.

Mr Johnson: Well! We all have to be very careful.

Dr Branson: Let's not predict the future and hope for the good. Let's hope for getting what we want to get.
