John found himself beside his dad's bed staring at the cotton on his eyes which were kept in place by white gauze bandages that went all the way around his head.

He stood there staring at his dad for a couple of minutes. Rose had gone outside to talk to the doctor, leaving John and David - the only two people - inside the four walls.

With his eyes still fixed upon his father - motionless and emotionless - John's hand grabbed something from the bedside and slowly moved it towards David. He clutched the object tightly in both hands as his eyes didn't waver from David.

Just then, Rose opened the door and screamed seeing John standing near her husband with his hands in mid-air, holding a knife.

"JOHN!!!!!"

Hearing the loud voice of his mother, John snapped back into his normal state and followed his mother's gaze that led up to his hands.

He gasped seeing what he was about to do and what would have happened if his mom wouldn't have come.

The metal produced its sonorous sound as John dropped the knife and it hit the floor.

Still, in the state of shock, he quickly retracted his trembling hands and clutched them together behind his back.

"What were you doing?" Rose screamed running towards David.

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know," John tried to catch his panicking breath. "I'm sorry, I don't know how it happened. What's wrong with me?" He yelled at himself and pushing the door he ran outside.

Rose looked at David to make sure he was alright and then she looked at the closing door. She was puzzled and shook at her core. What had gotten into him? She thought to try to calm her racing heartbeats down.

Just as the door closed, through the rectangular door glass, she saw someone standing outside facing her and gasped, "Hannah?"

"Father Matthew had told me that once she tried to kill her father while he was sleeping. Thankfully, Mrs. Montana entered the room looking for Amber. When she turned on the lights, she screamed seeing her daughter trying to kill her husband with a butcher's knife in her hand. She rushed and took Amber by the hand.

Amber growled back which took Mrs. Montana by surprise. Amber said in a devil voice if she wanted to share his fate with him, that she shouldn't have stopped her, and then she killed her mother with the same knife with which she was trying to kill her father.

Hearing Mrs. Montana's screams of death, Mr. Montana woke up and became a witness of his wife's death by his daughter."

"What happened to him then?" Emily couldn't help herself. She was terrified of imagining whatever Father just narrated. "Did she kill him too?"

"Fortunately, Mr. Montana survived. He was the one who had contacted Father Matthew for his help.

When Father Matthew asked Amber during an exorcism, why she killed her mother, she replied by saying that she shouldn't have come in between and when Father Matthew asked her the root cause of trying to kill her father, she said that she told her to do so. That she wanted her to kill him because he doesn't love her. All his love is an act and all he really wanted to do is get rid of her. And that if he would he would disown her.

Hearing all this when Amber's father tried telling her that he loved her and whatever she was saying is far away from the truth but Amber said that it was indeed the truth that she told her and backed everything up with evidence - proving how he had mentally messed with her and manipulated her like a narcissist. She told him that she was blinded by his fake concerns for her that she couldn't see it, but she helped her to see the reality.

Mr. Montana could really see the anger in his daughter's eyes towards him.

Before he could say anything, Amber lashed out and caused the house to shake to the ground.

Mr. Montana and Father Matthew ran outside and saw the house exploding in flames right in front of their eyes.

That was the moment when Father Matthew decided to ask me for my help."

"Wait," Emily stopped Father in between - something was bothering her - and asked, "did you hear someone clucking their tongue?"

Father, Emily, and Clyde looked around. There was no one except them. Father and Clyde both shook their heads.

I swear I heard someone clucking. What is happening? Emily closed her eyes and said to herself. Emily. Focus.

"Forget that, "Emily continued, "But Father, I didn't hear you say anything about the stones. Didn't Father Matthew mention about them?"

After a quick pause, Father Murphy continued, "Whenever a piece of the stone was found, more evil than before took place. But they found only two pieces. Neither the third piece of the cursed stone was never found nor we even tried to.

We feared what would happen if all the pieces came together."

"And we thought," Emily spoke on behalf of her and John, "that bringing all the pieces together could end the tale of Diana."

"On what ground?" asked Father.

Emily became silent. They never thought about that. They never found evidence of it. On what basis were they thinking that combining all the three pieces of the stone would end Diana? Was their hunt for the stones a fail all along? And according to Father Murphy, if the evil had increased its power with every stone found, then it'd be better to leave the unknown and unfound piece as it is then. But what if Father was wrong? But what if Father was right?

"But if," Emily began to ask, "you never found the final piece, then how did you defeat her?"

Father looked at Him and replied, "We never defeated her, we never were able to - even with 3 Fathers. Her soul is so venomous and dark that our light didn't stand a chance. We just diluted her powers. But she promised to return - and she did."

"What about the other 2 Fathers?" Emily sounded hopeful. "Maybe they can help us if we can contact them?"

Father Murphy shook his head in sorrow. "I'm afraid that can't be possible, Emily."

"Why so?" Emily and Clyde looked at each other.

"Because she killed them all so brutally before disappearing into thin air. I was the only one who survived - barely."
