Although Karma didn’t feel quite confident about it. At Mrs. Benz’s request, she loosened the shackles on Alice’s arm by making a chant.
“My poor baby,” Mrs. Benz said hugging its daughter while crying. Alice did the same to her mother.
Everyone else around them was crying as well.
“I’m sorry for making you worry, Mom. I know that it was stupid enough to take my own life. That I blame the others for ending it the same way that I plan on doing. But I guess, I really wasn’t ready to go yet. Though it was already too late to go back,”
“It’s okay, I understand you. And I know that God will forgive you as well,”
Everyone was so busy tending to their own feelings that no one else except Eulo noticed how Alice grinned at that time.
“She’s faking it!” Eulo tried warning everyone, But it was too late.
Alice had gone back to its scary image again. And it made Mrs. Benz faint instantly.
Before Karma could do another chant, Alice was already holding Eulo hostage.
“Did you really think that I’d let go of everything that easily?” it muttered on Eulo’s ear. Making the latter shiver in total fear.
“You’ve got to help me,” Eulo shouted pleading.
“No one can help you,” Alice said grinning in a wicked manner. And then, vanished in thin air along with its hostage.
***
Eulo opened his eyes at a very familiar place. He was standing at the very spot where he buried Alice’s body along with Chigs and Wacko.
He was all alone now. But when he tried to move. A pair of hands grabbed both his ankles from the soil grave.
He was screaming from the top of his lungs, but no one else could hear his call for help.
Alice's terrifying laugh blended with the air around him.
"You can never get away from me. This is where it all ends for the both of us."
Eulo's screams were buried along with its body at the grave he made for Alice himself.
And as he open his eyes again, he found a pair of decomposing arms hugging him tightly inside the grave. It was Alice.
He tried his best to get away, but it was hopeless.
"Didn't you say that you've always liked me? Now, we can be together for the rest of eternity."
Eulo's screams were heard all throughout the place.
Though no one else could tell where it was coming from.
It didn't take them long enough to find the grave itself. When they saw Alice standing in front of it with a very sad expression on her face.
"It's over now," said the latter.
"Where is Eulo, Alice?" Karma asked.
Alice just smiled. But this time, it seemed more peaceful.
"I don't regret what I did," it meant the lives it had taken through her revenge. "I just wish I had thought it over before I took my own life," a tear fell from its cheeks.
The earth suddenly opened at Alice's feet. Followed by noises of what seemed like spirits that are being tortured from hell. Hands spur from the cracks and pulled Alice from the depths of it.
"No, not my baby!" Mrs. Benz tried to help her daughter. But Anton and Mrs. Martines held her back.
Karma wanted to help Alice escape the grasp of hell as well. But she knew better that its punishment was indeed inevitable.
"Goodbye, Mom," Alice smiled at her family for the last time. "I'll miss you,"
The earth closed as Alice's spirit was taken along in it. And the former pit in which its body was placed seems to have disappeared. And returned to its former form.
Not one of them knew where Eulo had been taken or whether it is still alive.
The ambulance came to pick Keisha's body along with the others. And not one of them could explain what happened at the scene. The police officers just assumed that it was a group quarrel gone wrong. With Eulo being the prime suspect and is still missing.
After digging the spot where Alice stood before the earth consumed her. A decomposing body of a girl was found. With the same dress and built as Alice. They knew it was her.
Still, Eulo's body was nowhere to be found.
"Thank you," Mrs Benz told Karma after attending Alice's funeral. "We wouldn't have known what happened to her up until today. If it wasn't for your help." Though, it had its daughter's body back. the thought of its spirit being dragged into hell and forever to experience total damnation for what it did, did not give any comfort to the old lady.
"You can still pray for her spirit. And hope that one day, God will give her mercy to pull her back from wherever she is right now," she said refraining from uttering the word 'hell'. As to not add to its sufferings at the moment.
"You can come to us if you need anything," said Anton who was already standing behind her. "It's the least we could do for all your help," it was followed with a smile of gratitude.
"Now that you had mentioned it," she said remembering Cissy's case. "A friend of mine needs some information about her past,"
Mrs Benz excused herself for a while, giving them the privacy that they needed to talk it over.
"And your friend is, still alive?"
Her cheeks suddenly turned red.
She gently shook her head as to confirm its suspicion at the moment.
"Just as I thought," it said nodding at its own understanding. "Was she killed?"
"That's what I'm trying to find out."
"Luckily for you, I'm on the missing person's division. So it would be much easier to ask for help with the case. Do you know what her name is?"
"All she remembers is that her name is Cissy,"
"Cissy?"
