Laurae started to laugh hearing this. She looked at Penny as if she were an insolent stupid child who didn't know how the world worked, "What are you planning to do? I watched your little stunts but do you think it will work on me? Do you think the elements will work on me? Your lover tried to kill me but I put him right where he belongs. Let me show you," Laurae said, moving her hands towards her chest, she pulled a bullet out and threw it on the table, "Silver bullets made of holy water and potions. They won't work on me, dear. You are missing one important thing."

"I know…" Penny trailed with her words, a sigh leaving her lips, "I might not be experienced but there is someone who was eager to let us know on something."

The black witch's eyes narrowed and turned small, her lips twisting, "Caitlin."

Penny nodded her head, "I didn't know I had an aunt until I went to Valeria and she told me what happened. What you did to her along with your brother."

"Your uncle you mean," Laurae corrected her, and Penny chuckled.

"I don't want to be associated with you or the Artemis. I thought I would let you know, I will be getting married," the black witch raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Congratulations. Won't you call, mommy?"

Penny shook her head, "I don't think you will be alive to attend it."

"So much confidence, I should applaud. You were always like this even when you were small, trying to poke your nose and being curious about things. If you weren't so, I wouldn't have had to erase your mind at all, Penny. Leaving you alive anymore is not a good option and I need to kill you. You understand that right?"

Penny looked at her mother. She looked the same, her memory having a constant image which made her wonder if it was because she had grown up next to her which she hadn't noticed that the woman didn't look old at all. She instead looked quite young to have a daughter of Penny's page. There were a few times, Penny had wished and hoped that it was untrue that this woman was her mother but the reality was harsh.

Penny then smiled, "We got sidetracked. I know what is missing and why the bullet is not working on you."

"You do?" her mother pulled the chair and sat down at the table.

"It is because this is another body of yours. Your original body is placed in the same cemetery under another name. It would be hard to find out but there are only two graves there that share the same date. One which was empty, the one I dug your grave that leaves the next one with the remains of you. Am I right?"

"Brilliant," her mother clapped her hands for her, "But you are here. You were fast in thinking the answer but you won't be able to leave the mansion alive."

Laurae saw her daughter nod once again, "You are right but unlike you I am not alone. There are people who I can trust."

Before Penny and others had come here searching for this place, Penny had gone outside their room to bring Caitlin and Maggie as they needed their help. They were now in the cemetery, the same cemetery that belonged to the village where Penny and her mother used to leave together.

Maggie held the lantern in one of her hands and in another she held a can as they walked inside the lonely cemetery where no one was around. Caitlin on the other hand held the two shovels as they started to search for the grave that belonged to Laurae. Before they had left the mansion, Penny had told,

'I read in the book that it is possible for a black witch to come back to life after performing some of the rituals while still keeping the body alive, without being burnt. You both need to go search in the cemetery. If I am not wrong, there was another grave that shared the same date. And when you find it, you need to burn the body.'

Searching for the two graves sharing the same death date, the two women started to move around when they found the first grave that was written with the headstone of Laurae. Finding the second one, both the women took a shovel each and started to dig the ground until they found the metal hitting the wooden box.

Removing it quickly, they found the remains of a dead person.

"Are you sure this is the one?" Maggie asked with her eyes looking down at the skeleton.

"This is the only date that is shared here," Caitlin herself was staring at the remains and she then took hold of the kerosene they had brought along with them. She started to pour all over the grave. Finally when there was an ample amount of liquid poured on to the open casket, Caitlin pulled out the matchbox from her coat, pulling out the stick. Flicking the little stick that caught fire, she threw at the grave for the remains to blaze in the fire.

Back in the mansion, the black witch suddenly started to feel hot and a sliver of pain that ran down her spine. She gave a confused look as to what just happened.

Penny could only hope that right now, the wound that would be caused would mean to say that her remains in the grave had been burned down. She pulled the trigger, and the bullet went to hit her mother's chest making the woman stagger and take a step back with the impact that had been caused by the bullet.

Laurae looked down at her chest, bringing her hands and touching it she saw blood oozing out of her chest.

Penny could see her mother's final moments passing through her face as her expression started to crumble down.

"That was just the normal bullet," Penny said to her, she pulled out the bullet that she had saved to put it in the gun.

"Daughter, don't do it," Laurae smiled at her daughter.

Penny raised her hand up in the air, holding the weapon in her hand and she pulled the trigger for the bullet to be hit right at the woman's head that threw her head back and in a matter of seconds, the black witch started to crumble and evaporate as her body started to turn to dust.

When she finally was gone to leave only the clothes behind on the floor, Penny felt as if a sudden weight on her shoulders had been lifted up and she could finally breathe. She didn't want to hear anything from her mother. The empathetic feelings and the emotions she had towards her mother had long washed away, with only the thought of how she had lied to her.

She was tired with the lies and she had pulled the trigger at her mother to end everything.

Damien who entered the room caught sight of the clothes and then Penny who dropped both her hands down. Walking towards her, he hugged her and she hugged him back.
