Chapter 3

Then she got up and kissed her father, then entered the bathroom, so that he turned his head again to the woman and found only a reflection of his image, so he hurried back to his room and grabbed the phone, then went out to the laundry room to open the door and know what was behind him, and when he reached the door he tried to open the lock with all the keys, but It was useless, so he turned back up and then opened the main door of the house and went out and called the village elder

"Good morning sir"

"Hello. Hello, here we are again, as usual no one answers, why do you call if you don't speak, you know what I'm coming today with Sheikh Amr to clean the house for the new residents and I hope I don't find you there"

"What would you say, any new residents? We took over the house yesterday"

The governor hung up the phone without answering, so Victor wondered what the governor was talking about. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Sidra screaming from the back garden, so he ran and turned around the house and entered the back garden, to find Sidra soaked in blood and Lara standing on top of her, Richard holding her as if he was moving a puppet in his hand, Victor grabbed his head and shouted

"No, no, this time I can't be still asleep"

They all disappear and Richard is left standing under a tree and pointing to behind the tree with the knife that drips blood, so Victor moves to him to see what he is referring to, and the big shock was three graves written in order, Sidra was born in 1971 died 2000, Ridge was born in 1994 died 2000, Victor was born in 1970 died 2000

He murmured to himself: "What is this joking? We are in 2015. How did you die in 2000?"

He hears a sound close to low murmurs, then sees a strong light flattening his eyes, so he closes his eyes and then opens them, and finds himself standing in front of the door at the bottom of the house in the laundry room, and Richard stands by the landing stairs to the basement floor, and next to him the village chief and another person, humming something from a book in His hand, Richard grabbed his head and started screaming

"It is mine and mine. No one has the right to take it from me. Go away"

The sheikh approaches the door and the chief of the village breaks the lock and then pushes the door to open. They enter inside and Victor follows them. He finds his son tied to a chair, his eyes and mouth blinded and bleeding, and Sidra hanging from her arms with her chest open and her heart ripped out, while his body is lying on his face with stab wounds in the back. Lara is tied to a chair in front of a piano, her hands are tied to it and her body is tied to the chair, but she is still breathing. He listens to the strange man's voice, saying

"I am Sheikh Amr, and Richard or whatever your name is, enough war and bloodshed, I killed them all here father, son and mother"

Even the girl Alice who died here is a prisoner that no one knows about, except for Lara, who saw herself killing her family, she went crazy, and was placed in a mental institution until recently, how do you call Alice’s love when you made her kill her family and mutilate their corpses and then imprisoned her here, then she repeated everything Once again, had it not been for the father, before he breathed his last, to contact the village elder and seek help from him, Lara would have died as Alice died, and here she is, years later, out of the hospital and returning here with her family. Richard, you are not a loving consort, you are a murderous consort. You'll burn here, Victor said after realizing he too was dead

"If I am dead and my soul is wandering, then I will burn you, Richard, for what you have done to my family and protect my daughter and her family so that she may live in safety."

Victor approached Richard who was at the bottom of the Sheikh's feet and grabbed his neck while he was screaming, but with the Sheikh's voice, not his own, with the verses of the Qur'an, so Richard's body began to burn and rise upward amid screams from him, shaking the place, trying to push Victor away from him, but he could not, and after the Sheikh completed his words, he disappeared Richard and black ashes remain, so the sheikh collects the ashes and puts them in a flask with him, then says

"Now Victor built for you to see your daughter once and then your soul will leave here, go up to the attic and look out the window you will see her"

The sheikh leaves with the chief of the village, and Victor stands in the attic next to the window to see a small family consisting of four members. A beautiful woman stands looking at him, smiling and muttering, but he hears it clearly.

"You know, Reno, I saw my dad standing there in the window in the attic, and I saw this Richard Wallis creature back in there."

Then she pointed to the window, the young man with her smiled and said

"Why haven't you sold the house yet to Lara, and may their souls rest in peace?"

Lara cries bitterly and says

"I didn't get to see them off, see, how can I sell the house?"

Victor stands in front of her, smiles, and tries to put his hand on her face, so she feels hot air near her, and through it she hears her father's voice whispering.

"Leave, it is enough for me that you are fine, my daughter, leave, and I will burn the house so that no one will live in it again."

Lara backs away and says: "Reno, come on, we have to go"

"What happened?"

"You won't believe me, but it's my father's request, I heard his voice now"

They got into the car, and as soon as they moved away, the fire caught fire in a way that was not comparable to anything, and the image of Victor materialized, bidding farewell to his daughter, who saw him and signaled him goodbye, so the flames rose behind him, and he disappeared between her tongues, but Richard's cries did not disappear and continued to echo, every night after midnight in this deserted house, which became a temple for prayer In the morning, but at night the flames of the fire and Richard's screams are repeated
