Who would have known what they were looking for would take too much time. Now out of the invisible forest, they quietly moved to a path that would lead them to Aladin's house which Ofcourse were sure to find her there. In Alex thoughts, he knew the reason why she left was to heal herself first the wounds that she got from him. He surveyed the quiet area carefully, then he communicated with his finger to show that it was safe the arrows and the bow well settled behind his back silently. It was dark but as usual, Alah's window was open, light showing from inside. Lyn hesitated somehow knowing that where they were moving to, it was there house before the incidents.

' Come on, why are you staggering?' Alex retorted moving towards her.'

' I..... I... I don't think l can do this. That's our house where we are heading to right? She questioned her face expressing fear.'

' Yeah! We need to do this. Don't forget it was her house before you bought it. She can't hoped anywhere apart from where she died.'

' But my families memories are in there. Can't you see how hard it is for me to work with it.'

' Lyn. Breath in, then out...... Do you feel better now?'

' A bit.'

' Good. We can do this. Let us finish this damned ghost once for all. After there, we'll know what's next.' Alex assured pecking her chapped lips.'

' Humph! Now, if you're scared to go inside, you'll be our guard then. It seems that you're still reluctant.' he added his lips showing a little smile.'

' No, no. What if she comes for me? How will l be able to inform you?'

' Simple. See this whistle. You'll have to use it and when we hear it, we'll surely come for your rescue. Infact before anything happens, I'll already be here.'

' Ooww! Who's the owner of the whistle? It looks pretty.'

' Yeah! He said l give you Incase anything bad happens to him. And here it is, safe and sound in your hands.'

' Luca!!! Is it he's?'

' Hmmm!

' Ooww my sweet brother! Thanks.'

' Guys we better hurry up. She might notice our arrivals.' Andy called already at the door.'

' Second.' Alex replied in a lower voice his gaze turning back to Lyn.' Anyway, take this few arrows for your defence. Incase l get late, stabe her at the nape of her neck. Don't wait. All you'll have to do is focus then act as soon as your eyes sets, alright.'

' Yes Master. I got it.' she happily said with a salute surprising Alex. He dragged her closer to his warm body, kissing her deeply and with passion as he recalls their first romance moments. After some seconds or so, he let go of her slowly but his gaze still fixed on hers.'

' Good luck baby.' he mumbled almost in tears.'

' Luck too Sweet heart. I know we gonna survive this time. We gonna take her down.' she said hugging him tightly.

' This two lover birds. They gonna reduce my life span cause of too much romancing.'

' Old man shut up. Who told you to remain single?' Andy bombed startling Mr Tan.'

' You kid, one day I'll teach you a proper lesson. Please, l know am old, no need to be calling me that yet l still got some years to live. '

' Uhh! Years? I see. I wonder where you'll be? '

' Kid, I'll punch your face if you can't shut up. Silly.'

' Old man, you'll die. Infact sooner. Prepare yourself, hell is waiting?'

' What's wrong with you? You think you'll live too, huh! What if you die before me, it won't be a surprise to me. ' he grinned getting pissed off by Andy as Alex approaches them.'

' Huh! Asshole... '

' You guys why can't you marry each other. You like quarrelling like husband and wife. Anyway let's move in.'

' Is she not coming? Andy asked squeezing the door knob.'

' I guess she's afraid. Probably coming inside due to the scenes that had happened few days ago. I prefer too her to stay and watch over us. Incase anything outbreaks, she'll be quick to inform us.'

' Uuhh!'

' Idiot, close your big mouth. You might swallow a fly from a dead corpse you know. Just saying.' Mr Tan said staring at Andy's frozen face.'

' Hell is waiting. Watch your mouth old man.' Andy whispered as Alex chuckles cause of his outburst.'

They silently walked in, well armed from anything that might attack them. As usual, Andy clenced tightly on his sword which he has been secretly hiding as Mr Tan and Alex's face turns red.

' What? Can't l protect myself this time?' he sarcastically asked.

' Nop. Since when did you started carrying long ancient swords. Was your father a warrior before?' Alex whispered as they walked upstairs.'

' I guess so. But by that time, l wasn't born. This sword l stole it from one of the graves when we were burying my mother's friend mother few months ago.'

' Ghosh! You're a thief. What if the owner returns and start haunting you down. Will you kill?

' Old man shut up? That can never happen, no matter what. Am well protected by the spirit of nature, l know that. '

' Uuhhh! I see. No wonder you smell death.'

' Eeehhh!..... Old man? '

' Shush! I can hear a voice.' Alex silenced stopping at Luca's room.'

' A voice? I can't hear it.'

' I guess me too. I feel the house is quiet.'

' You can't, but l can. She's in here, chanting.'

' Heeey! Am dead. And the way am well armed, is this how it gonna end for me?' Andy muttered sitting down on the floor.'

' Whaat! Are you scared now?'

' No, my mom used to say, whenever there's a chant, we should cover our ears for...

' Silly. No wonder you're a kid. You haven't heard anything and here you are blabbering nonsense. Grow kid.'

' Old man, l bet next time you spurt some shit, it'll be the end of you. And again, Hell is waiting for you.'

' Shut up, dirty mongoose. You're a foolish child. Next time I'll have to bit you up just to shut your big mouth.'

' Ahhh! Whaaat? Bit me?.....'

' Eeehh! Eehhhh! No fight. I think the sound is coming from Lyn's room. That's where she murdered herself according to my senses.'

' You think so? Andy asked as Alex eyes him suspicious making Mr Tan to groan.'

Since the door was wide open when they came closer to it, they made it easy to barge in but to there surprise, there was no one in. Not even a trace of someone being around. Their eyes surveyed the room, and after some seconds, a smoke appeared with the mirror they've been stambling at ever since they came to this house. Some sounds started coming from the mirror while the smoke remains at its position, as the mirror itself starts to tremble, this time someone hitting it from inside. Three bangs echoed making the house to shake as if there's an earthquake somehow sending them backwards. Silence again filled the room after the bang had stopped, but out of the blue, Aladin's face appeared her long nails scratching the mirror hardly as crimson blood scatters the white floor. When Alex saw that, he quickly raised his bow holding the arrow perfectly trying to figure out where to aim his arrow. For a moment he hesitated, but when the mirror started cracking on its own, he let go the arrow which aimed the center of the mirror on point obviously without anyone's expectations, Aladin's full body appeared right on their faces her shaggy hair scattered all over her head floating in the air. She raised her hand, and the slap got Mr Tan offguard sending him to the wall which made Alex to react quickly.

He ran towards her, then with his martial arts kicks, he jumped aiming Alah's neck with the arrow but she turned and the arrow hit the wall as his helpless body crashes the tables and cupboard around them. Andy was still frozen when suddenly Alah appeared Infront of him. He tried to step back, but his legs felt too heavy to be lifted. His chapped lips trembled, but his hands clenched more tighter on the sword he has been holding on. He gave her a side cheek smile then made a quick move too his sword aiming her. Though he managed to stabe her on the stomach, but it wasn't that deep, and by the time he made another move, her hands caught his neck squeezing it tightly.'

' Now am fully recharged. Nothing's gonna stop me from what have been yearning to do, Haah! Haahhh!.' she roared still holding Andy's neck who was trying so hard to fight her with the sword in his hand.'
