END DESTINATION

THE ANTONIO' S MANSION

RECAP

" Get out of here, I'll handle this." Said Gisella, turning her gaze back on Natasha as she monitored her every step but Desmond stubbornly insisted.

" No, Gisel, we can't leave you here all alone with this evil woman. Lizzy can go with her while I stay with you."

" No, you can't be here.....Leave now....", Gisella yelled.

Natasha laughed, " Aww, such a touching scene....but I've got bad news for you, honey. No one is living here alive...", she responded, approaching with dark eyes.

Lizzy and Desmond trembled. Gisella shaded them and began to pray.

**************

Suddenly, a heavy wind blew across the room, lifting and sending things flying in the air with Agnes still lying unconscious on the floor . Thick smoke hung in the air like a blanket despite the heavy breeze. Gisella, Desmond, and Lizzy surveyed around with a nervous gaze– Their nervousness was evident enough on the faces and their eyes exhibited their fear.

" What's happening? " Lizzy and Desmond queried.

" I don't know but you guys need to stay calm, I'll think of what to do" She replied.

" No, time to think, Gisel.....Just do something ", Lizzy cried. Gisel on the other hand glanced at her with a tensed and serious face, nervous.

" Will you allow me to handle this, please?"

" But " Lizzy pressed on but Desmond spontaneously cut in.

" No, aunty, I think you should allow her to handle this. There's no time for this, please, huh?" His voice stammered as he drew her back. Lizzy stared at them for a while and nodded with tears in her eyes.

" Okay, " she sighed and knelt beside Agnes.

Desmond and Gisella gazed at her worriedly.

" Don't worry about her, Gisel, I'll take care of them. Just take care of Nat, okay"

She glanced worriedly at him for a while and nodded.

" Gisel, watch out !! ", Lizzy shouted from the floor.

Without hesitation, she swiftly turned together with Desmond, only to find a dark, flame-like ball fast approaching. It was so close and too late to think of what to do. She closed her eyes, and yelled out her father's name, helplessly as she waited to be hit by the flame.

" Dad !!! , Help, please, daddy " Her voice echoed.

Suddenly, she felt a shadow in front of her, followed by a loud noise/cry. Her eyes instinctively fluttered open, only to find her father's ghost right in front of her eyes, wearing a bright smile.

" You're here, dad?" She muttered, her lips curved in a broad smile with strains of tears in her eyes.

Antonio nodded in response with a smile. She immediately hugged him and the tears she fought back, trekked down her eyes. "Thank you, daddy"

He patted her back in tears and kissed her forehead. Lizzy and Desmond gazed at them puzzled. They could see Antonio's ghost as well.

" I'm here now, honey, everything will be alright, okay?", said Antonio, wiping off her tears.

Gisella nodded and hugged him again. Just then, they heard Natasha, chuckle loudly.

" So, you finally came to fight me, Antonio?" She exclaimed amidst laughter.

Antonio on hearing this, slowly pushed Gisella behind him as he turned to face her.

" Get behind me, honey. I'll take care of it from here" He instructed and she hurriedly obliged. Lizzy and Desmond held her while Antonio trod towards Natasha.

" Enough with this, Nat. You've already caused a lot to my family and I won't allow it anymore " Antonio's cold voice echoed. Natasha laughed, her murderous eyes sharply pined on them.

" Not until I've finally destroyed everything you ever had just like you destroyed mine, Antonio ".

" You know that was not what happened, Natasha. I never cheated on you. What you saw that day was a mere misunderstanding which you never allowed me to explain which lead to your untimely death"

" Enough with your damn explanations –Keep it to yourself, I don't need them. I'll make you pay for everything and today is the last day for everything you had, Antonio " She fumed and threw a dark spell towards him.

" Daddy !!! " Gisella cried.

" Hey, calm down, dear" Desmond uttered as he quickly held her back from interfering in the fierce battle before their eyes.

Antonio hurriedly blocked the approaching charm and threw it back at her with great force. It hit her so hard that it crashed her into the wall. She groaned in pain and slowly struggled to stand up.

Antonio roared and smashed into her. They struggled and fought across the hall, furiously. He finally overpowered her and pinned her down to the floor

" This is the end of your road, Nat. You are at your final destination " He exclaimed and stabbed her with an enchanted silver knife.

She let out a scream, her voice echoed through the whole mansion and she suddenly evaporated into thin black air.
