⛧The Final Battle ⛧
Episode 3: Flashback
Mallory
“ Sometimes I feel like there’s someone buried deep inside me. Someone trying to claw there way out.”
Micheal Langdon
“Who”
Mallory
”I don’t know. I just want to go. Michael holds her hand and stops her.”Let me go!”
Micheal
”Don’t be afraid Mallory. I’m offering you a chance to live.”
Mallory
”I SAID LET ME GO!”
Mallory’s voice echoes loudly through the room. A burst of power causes Micheal and everything else to collapse in the room. Michael looks up at Mallory, frightened at her emotional outburst of power. He runs at her and his demonic white face appears. Mallory moves forward toward him with fright and anger, suddenly the fireplace in the room lights up into a near explosion. Micheal’s cocky and powerful persona fades and is replaced with shock.
Micheal
”Who are you?”
Mallory
“I don’t know. Who are you!?”
October 29, 2021 - Misty’s Garden
Outside, in the nuclear winter, five people crawl out of the dirt. Cordelia Goode, Misty Day, Stevie Nicks, Myrtle Snow, and Madison Montgomery rise from their graves.
Madison (coughing)
“Well that sucked ass. I had worms crawling up my nose and God knows what else.”
Misty Day
”Really? It was quite enjoyable for me. Felt like sleeping in Heaven.”
Stevie Nicks (coughing)
”How long has it been?”
Myrtle Snow
”I don’t know. About a year or two?”
Cordelia Goode
”It’s time. Mallory is ready.”
The five witches start to wipe the dust off themselves. Misty and Stevie hug each other, Misty happy to be besides her idol in the end times.
Madison
”How the hell are we breathing this nuclear waste shit?”
Stevie
”Me and Myrtle casted a special air filter spell before we went under. You breathe in fresh air, while the rest of the world breathes in cancer.” Stevie smiles.
Cordelia
”You witches ready for the final fight?”
Misty, Myrtle, Stevie, and Madison all reply back with a yes. Even though they know this might be the last time they see each other if everything fails.
Cordelia
”Good. Let’s go witches!”
Halloween Night 2021, Outside Outpost 3, Cordelia, Myrtle, Stevie, Misty, and Madison telekinetically open the gates and walk into the Outpost. They find Mallory, Coco, and Dinah all dead. Cordelia uses Vitalum Vitalis to resurrect the three witches before their soul passes into the afterlife. Mallory, Coco, Dinah all come back from the dead gasping for air. Mallory takes off her glasses and notices she can see without them. She sees Cordelia Goode, Myrtle Snow, Stevie Nicks, Misty Day, and Madison Montgomery in front of her. Madison rolls her eyes at Dinah, but smiles to see Coco and Mallory are alive again. Madison walks towards Mallory and kneels before her.
Madison
”Surprise Bitch. I bet you thought you seen the last of me.” Mallory”Uber Driver?”
Madison
”No bitch. I’m Madison Montgomery.” Madison says while rolling her eyes.
Mallory’s eyes widened. “I don’t know what’s going on. Can someone please tell me what’s going on?”
Myrtle
”Oh poor dear. To be raised up and released from an identity spell at the same moment.”
Mallory
”What do you mean by identity spell?”
Cordelia
”We placed it on you for your protection. Coco too. It kept you from knowing your true self.”
Mallory
”Why?”
Cordelia
”Because you’re special Mallory. And we need you. We need all of you.”
Coco St. Pierre Vanderbilt
”Oh man, so much stuff is pouring into my brain. It’s gonna explode.”
Stevie Nicks
”It’s alright dear. We need to focus on our enemy.”
Dinah Stevens
”You’re on your own with that shit. I’m not here to defeat anyone.”
Micheal Langdon
”How can any of you defeat me?”
The witches all turn to see Micheal and Miss Meade on the top of a staircase.
Micheal
”When I’ve already won.”
Cordelia
”You haven’t won.”
Micheal
”Perhaps you haven’t noticed the state of the world.”
Myrtle
”It’s almost as bad as you’re dinner jacket but at least the world can be saved.”
Micheal
”By you?”
Stevie and Misty
“By all of us.”
Dinah
”Hey get the wax out of your ears, I’m here to watch.”
Coco St. Pierre
”But I’m not.”
Coco looks determined and walks over to the witches.
Coco St. Pierre
”Just don’t let me die again okay. The first time really sucked. Speaking of which, where the hell is Br-
Micheal
”When I’m done, you’ll all wish you were dead.”
Myrtle
”I always thought the world would end in fire and ice. Not witches and warlocks.”
Micheal
”The world had been remodeled in my father’s image.”
Madison
”And how ugly it has become.”
Michael and Meade look at Madison with anger.
Stevie Nicks
”Oh sweetheart. It seems Daddy didn’t tell you the most important rule of bringing about the Apocalypse. If you want to finish the job, the first thing to do is get rid of ALL the witches.”
Cordelia
”Big mistake.”
Michael
“I could annihilate all of you in a second and the world would go on without missing a beat. You and all your work will be forgotten in the rubble of the past. But I want to give you a future. Fall to your knees and accept me as your lord and savior and I will bring to you the table as my obedient subjects.”
No one does shit. Madison and Cordelia laugh at Micheal.
Miss Meade
”Imbeciles! Fall to your knees before the Antichrist! Hail Satan!”
Madison laughs even more.
”Oh would you shut up already!” Madison yells.
Cordelia
”The only way we would sit at your table is if your decapitated head were the centerpiece.”
Dinah
”Oh Cordelia. You raised from the dead so that you would have the power of Voodoo on your side. But if you know anything about who I am-“
Dinah walks over to the staircase.
“You’d know the only person I’d pick… would be the winner.”
Cordelia
”You’re half right Dinah.”
Marie Laveau
”She needed the help of a powerful Voodoo Queen! Haha, but that ain’t you sis!”
Marie Laveau walks into the room, as if she were never dead. She walks up to the witches right beside Cordelia.
Dinah
”How?”
Marie
”To release me from Hell. Cordelia promised Papa Legba the darkest and most corrupt Voodoo queen soul for mine. You’ll serve him well in my place.”
Dinah
”You’re a fool Marie Laveau… You would have done no different if you were queen.”
Marie
”NO!”
Marie teleports before Dinah and conjures a machete. Marie SLASHES Dinah in the neck with the machete, causing a fountain of blood to burst out of Dinah as she screams. Dinah falls and dies.
Marie
”Out with the trash. Give Papa my regards!”
Marie and the witches turn to look at Micheal and Miss Meade. Michael looks at Dinah’s dead body.
Micheal
”Oh well. Like I said witches. You have one last chance to join me.”
Madison
”Are you still on that shit? I thought we made it clear that joining your pathetic satanic choir is the least of our worries.”
Micheal
”THEN PREPARE FOR YOUR DOOM. MEADE NOW!!”
Miss Meade pulls out her robotic gun and starts to fire bullets at the witches. Madison and Stevie Nicks quickly telekinetically redirect the bullets back at Micheal and Meade, the other witches duck quickly to avoid the bullets. Michael managed to stop most of the bullets but one punctured his stomach. Miss Meade looks at Micheal with concern.
”Are you alright?” Meade asks Micheal with concern.”I’m fine! Focus on the-
Cordelia raises her hand up at Meade and utters an incantation. Miss Meade malfunctions and explodes into pieces. A shockwave pushes throughout the Outpost, throwing Micheal off the staircase and knocking the witches to the floor.
Micheal look next to him to see Meade’s decapitated head. The head is still malfunctioning, as if Meade is trying to talk. Michael’s eyes are filled with sadness as Meade finally stops moving. Forever gone.
Michael’s sadness is replaced with fury. He stands up and reveals his demonic white face at the witches. He raises his hands up and the room is suddenly filled with snow, the room’s temperature is rapidly decreasing. Madison notices Meade’s gun and was about to grab it, but noticed her feet are frozen in place. The ice spreads up her body until it’s completely covered in ice. The ice spreads up the legs of the witches. Michael laughs demonically. The ice covers the witches bodies, making them unable to move. The temperature remains frozen. Michael starts to point a finger at each witch.
He points a finger at Madison. Her body explodes into icy pieces near Micheal.
”Oh poor Madison. You had so much potential for power and evil!”
Micheal smiles and continues. He lands a finger on Misty exploding her body into pieces. He then points a finger at Stevie Nicks, her body explodes into pieces. He points at Coco, her body also exploding. He then points at Mallory, walking closer to her.
”And you (pointing at Mallory). You really think you can defeat me? You are nothing more than a powerful witch I can exterminate. I’m Satan’s son! I’m gonna boil you alive as a treat!”
Suddenly Misty’s icy remains start to reorganize themselves on the floor. Myrtle notices this. Misty’s remains unfreeze and come together. Mallory’s feet are about to melt when Marie throws her machete at Micheal. The machete lands into Micheal’s chest. He screams in agony. He looks up to see Misty alive.
Misty Day
”You killed the wrong witch.” Misty raises her hand towards Coco, Stevie, and Madison’s remains. Their remains come together as well. Michael removes the machete from his chest.
Misty
”I have the power of Resurgence! I am able to bring myself and my fellow witches back to life demon!”
Michael
”You really think you can defeat me flower child?!”
Misty raises her hand and the machete flies into her hand, Madison quickly raises her hand toward Micheal and telekinetically throws him against a wall. She runs towards the robotic gun and grabs it. Cordelia yells out for Madison.
Madison
”Sorry about your little toy, Bitch.”
Madison shoots the gun into Micheal’s chest. The bullets land in every place possible. Micheal’s body crashes against the wall, leaving a bloody mess. Myrtle’s ice melts away. Myrtle then recites a spell to free Cordelia, Coco, Mallory, and Stevie from the ice.
Myrtle
”Well that took some time.”
Coco
”Oh my god, he almost killed me!”
Misty
”Get used to it. Dying around this coven is too easy.”
Stevie conjures scissors and walks toward Michael. Cutting a piece of his hair to give to Mallory. Stevie comments on how smooth Micheal’s hair is.
Madison
”So are we done?”
Cordelia
”No. Bullets alone won’t kill him. He’s become too powerful. We have to find a place to cast the spell before he wakes up.””Mallory, you must find a moment in time early in Micheal’s life to kill him before he became too powerful.”
Mallory
”Okay. Yes.”
Stevie Nicks hands Mallory the hair. Mallory closes her eyes and focuses. 2015.
Mallory
”2015. Micheal aged himself up but his powers weren’t strong enough yet. I could kill him then. All I need to say is Tempus Infinitum!”
Stevie
”Perfect. We must go! Quick!”
The witches and Marie get up and run up the staircase. Madison stays behind to keep an eye on Micheal.
Madison
”I’ll hold him off as long as I can.” Cordelia smiles.
Cordelia
”You’ve grown so much Madison.”
Madison
”Go!”
Cordelia runs up the staircase with everyone else. Cordelia looks back and notices Michael staring at her with an evil stare. As the women run to find the tub, Mallory in front, Brock suddenly appears before Mallory and stabs her in the stomach. Mallory falls to the floor as Cordelia rushes towards her. Myrtle yells out a fire spell “Ignis!” At Brock. Causing Brock to ignite in flames as he falls off the balcony and collapses behind Madison. Back up at the balcony, Cordelia, Stevie, and Myrtle carry Mallory as Coco shows them where the tub is.
Micheal gets up. Madison notices but it’s too late.
Madison
”Oh fuck. I guess it’s back to retail.”
Micheal raises his hand as Madison turns around to fire the gun, but Michael quickly clenches his hand and Madison’s head explodes. Her body collapses to the floor.
The witches upstairs sees this in shock and continues running. Marie rushes them to quickly get Mallory to the tub, she stays behind to fight Micheal.
Marie drops special dust in a straight line. Coco runs behind Marie and leads the witches to the tub. Cordelia casts a a spell that instantly fills the tub with water.
Micheal walks through the hallway. Ready to kill. Claws extending from his fingers, scratching against the walls.
Misty is on the other side of the hallway.
Misty
”You think you’re the only one with a connection to the dead?”
Micheal looks at Misty with confusion. Misty raises her hands into the air. Suddenly hands crack through the walls. Deceased rotting bodies of the people outside in the nuclear wasteland burst through the walls as zombies. Multiple zombies begin to run at Micheal, but he takes them easily. He pierces his arm through their chest, burns them with hellfire, and telekinetically rips a zombie’s head off.
Misty watches in complete horror. Michael then looks at Misty with an evil stare. Suddenly Misty’s body is disintegrated by Michael’s hellfire.
Micheal
”What a waste of potential.”
Michael continues to walk down the hallway, stepping on zombies corpses. He is then confronted by Marie Laveau. Michael tries to attack Marie but is stopped by her Voodoo force field spell.
Marie
”You will not pass!”
Micheal
”You really think you’re stupid voodoo spells can stop me?”
Micheal then manages to temporarily break through the barrier and pierces his hand through Marie’s chest, holding her heart in his hand.
Micheal
”Is that all you got?”
Marie
”Not exactly!”
Coco then suddenly appears behind Micheal with a determined face, a knife in her hand, she pushes the knife into Micheal’s back.
Coco
”Die again fuckface!”
Coco let’s go of the knife. Michael staggers to look at her.
Micheal
”Normally that would work.”
Michael rips Marie’s heart out of her chest. “But I’m not anything like normal.”
Coco
”That heart is 74 calories Bitch!”
Micheal then looks at Coco with a smirk. He telekinetically snaps Coco’s neck. He pulls out the knife from his back and continues walking down the hallway. Mallory is sitting in the tub, blood coming out of her stab wound. Cordelia, Stevie, and Myrtle surround Mallory. Chanting the time spell Mallory used to try and save Anastasia.
Cordelia
”Listen Mallory, you must use everything in your power to do this.”
Mallory
”Temp- Temp… Tempus Infinitum!”
Stevie and Myrtle
”Oh dear.”
Cordelia
“It’s not working! She’s not strong enough!”
Myrtle
”It appears we’re fucked my dear.”
Mallory is weakened. Barely able to move.
Mallory
”I’m sorry Cordelia.”
Cordelia’s dejected face is replaced with hope. She realizes what she has to do.
Cordelia
”I know what to do.”
Stevie
”What is it Delia?”
Cordelia
”Something I’ve been avoiding for a while now.”
Cordelia stands up and walk towards the end of the hallway. Looking at the staircase that leads to the floor. She knows what she has to do. Stevie Nicks and Myrtle stand in the bathroom watching as Mallory life fades.
Micheal
”How did you think this would end? Prophecy is inevitable. I was always going to win. Miss Supreme.”
Cordelia
”Not on your own. You’ve been led by the hand, coddled the entire way. By your father, the warlocks. I look at you and I don’t see a man, I see a sad, scared little boy so pathetic he couldn’t even kill me with a thousand nuclear bombs.”
Micheal
”You think those petty words mean anything to me? I won. And I will have the satisfaction of watching you die knowing you failed!”
Cordelia
”You still don’t get it do you? You think there’s only winning and losing. Success and failure. But failure is when you’ve lost any semblance of hope. You will get to watch me die, but you won’t find it satisfying.”
Cordelia raises her hand towards Michael’s knife. The knife flies from Micheal’s hand into hers.
Cordelia
“Satan has one son… But my sisters are legion MOTHERFUCKER!”
Cordelia pulls the knife out and stabs herself in the chest. Stevie and Myrtle react in shock. Mallory suddenly rises and feels the Supremacy flowing into her.
Myrtle
”Cordelia!!!”
Back in the hall, Cordelia smiles as she feels the Supremacy flowing into Mallory. Michael watches in shock, as he realizes what this means. Cordelia falls backwards down the stairs. A hero.
Mallory
”TEMPUS INFINITUM!”
Micheal
”NO!”
Micheal runs into the room where Stevie and Myrtle are.
Stevie Nicks
“GET BACK DEMON!!”
Stevie uses her Pyrokinesis to throw fire at Micheal, but Micheal manages to avoid the fire. Michael touches Stevie’s face, burning it.
Myrtle tries to recite an incantation but her lips are sealed shut. Michael kills both Stevie and Myrtle.
Before the portal in the tub closes, Micheal jumps in.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
⛧ Los Angeles, California, 2015 ⛧
A younger Mallory is driving a car on the streets of Los Angeles. She turns on the radio.
Radio Broadcaster
And the headmistress has declared that any woman who thinks she may have a witch power initiate a meeting to see if she does or doesn’t. Simply email her at-
A force comes upon Mallory, she suddenly stops the car in the middle of the road.
Mallory’s eyes change from innocent to much more hardened yet hopeful.
Mallory
”Holy shit. Yes it worked!”
Mallory turns off the radio.
Mallory
”I know you’re fucking address Michael”
The SUV drives off to its destination.
Constance Langdon’s House, 2015
Constance Langdon discovers the priest’s dead body in Michael’s room. Young Michael ignores her shock and despair to play video games.
Constance
“Tell me something Michael. Do you have to kill every single living creature that crosses your path?! Could you maybe just maim one? Or how about this novel idea: if they are causing you distress, just politely ask them to leave!”
Michael
“He kept shoving his cross in my face and speaking Latin. It was burning my ears.”
Constance
“Now I know I am far from perfect. And I know I have had my fair share of failures raising children. But I am done taking the blame for the horror and misery that you bring upon this house!”
Michael realizes it’s important and tries to get out of it, like a child.
Michael
“I-I’m sorry. I won’t do it again. I promise. I-I need help. I’m just a child!
Constance
“
You are not a child! My grandson is a child! And I see his eyes in your eyes, and I hear the remnant of his sweet voice in your throat. But you are not him!
Michael starts to cry and whimper.
Constance
“Now you may have claimed his bed but you are not him!”
Michael
“Please don’t be mad.”
Constance
“You have made a fool of me this entire time. Treating me like the help. All the buried rodents and the murdered nannies. And I went along with it, thinking it was just a phase you were going through. But this is not a phase. This is who you are!
She points at him accusingly, Young Michael is on the verge of a breakdown.
Constance
“And it’s only gonna get worse. But I swear to God, it’s not going to happen in my house.”
Micheal
“What do you mean?”
Constance opens the closet door and pulls out Michael jacket and throws it at him.
Constance
“Get out! I don’t care where you go! You can sleep on a park bench or under an overpass. I don’t care!
Michael
“Please, I’ll change. I promise!”
Constance
“I DON’T WANT YOU! Get out! Get out! And don’t you ever come back!
Young Michael gets up from the bed and slams Constance against the wall and chokes her.
Constance
“Go ahead, do it. Put me out of my misery!”
Young Michael’s evil edge continues but he softens as he looks at his grandma.
Constance
“But you won’t, will you? Because you’re a coward. Deep down inside, and you know it.”
He stops choking her.
Young Micheal runs out of the house. Constance closes the door. Never to let him in again. He runs into the street when a force comes upon him. His face turns from an innocent blue to an evil red.
Micheal
“Nice try, witch.”
Mallory’s SUV arrives at the street. Michael looks around and sees the Murder House. He runs to the gate and tries to open it with his powers but is unable to.
Michael
“Shit!”
Michael grabs a rock and bursts open the lock. The gates open and he runs inside the house.
Mallory’s SUV stops at the front. She gets of the car, armed with only her powers and runs inside after him. We pan over to see Constance at the front door of her house looking concerned.
Mallory enters the dark and abandoned house, the outside light allows her to see. She practically feels the spirits.
Michael
“Mallory! I’m still here! Come and get me!”
The voice comes from down below. Mallory runs into the kitchen. She opens a drawer and finds a kitchen knife. She hides the knife in her back pocket. Suddenly, Mallory trips and is dragged around the kitchen.
Mallory
“Fuck what was the incantation?!”
Mallory recites an incantation. Mallory is able to see the twin boys, Troy and Bryan, dragging her. She instantly uses her powers to slam them against the kitchen walls.
Mallory
“Little shits.”
Mallory gets out of the kitchen. At the end of the hall, Maria and Gladys walk together into the living room, scaring Mallory.
Mallory
“How did Madison deal with this place?”
Mallory finds the basement door and enters. Mallory walks down the steps to the basement.
Michael
“Over here!”
She can hear him in the next room. She slowly walks over to the darker room.
Inside is a collection of limbs, brains, etc. Mallory sees Michael at one of the aisles and tries to follow him but can’t find him.
Suddenly, the INFANTATA comes running from the end of the aisle and attacks Mallory. She screams in terror as it claws at her stomach but before it can slice her throat, the Infantata’s sewn limbs are quickly undone and thrown away. Mallory then blows its head off.
Unknown Voice
“
No! My baby!”
Nora Montgomery grabs a scalpel from a table and goes after Mallory. Mallory gets up just as Nora stabs her in the shoulder with the scalpel.
Nora
“How dare you kill my baby?! I am Nora Montgomery! You will pay for this! My lawyers will-“
Mallory picks up a jar and smashes it on Nora’s head, knocking her out.
Mallory walks into an empty room in the basement. She sees an operating table and quickly turns around to run but Charles Montgomery, in his doctor outfit, blocks her.
He grabs her and straps her on the table. She screams out but he holds her head down and tries to force nitrous oxide into her. She is almost knocked out by it when Viven Harmon appears behind Charles, grabs a surgical bonesaw and slowly cuts his head off until it lands on the dirty floor.
Mallory
“Thank you.”
Viven
“You’re welcome. I don’t appreciate anyone else dying in this damn house.”
She unstraps Mallory from the table and leads her to the stairs.
Viven
“Alright now get out of here fast before anyone else comes for you.”
Mallory
“No. Michael Langdon is here and I have to kill him. For my coven.”
Viven
“For you’re what? Wait… Michael is here?”
Mallory
“Do you know him?”
Viven
“He’s my son. Constance is supposed to take care of him!”
Mallory
“I need to get him. He is evil. He caused the death of billions and I need to make sure he doesn’t do it again.”
Viven looks regretful.
Viven
“Go ahead.”
Mallory nods and runs up the stairs, leaving Viven in the basement.
Hayden
“How does it feel?”
Viven turns around to see Hayden McClaine in the shadows.
Hayden
“For another baby to go to waste?”
Viven
“Fuck off homewrecker.”
Mallory enters the ground floor. Michael yells out Mallory’s name. His voice is upstairs. She runs up, failing to notice that the front door was opened. Mallory enters an office, DR Ben Harmon is talking with Tate Langdon.
Ben
“I mean your tendencies and thoughts are so dark Tate. Even I have a hard time-hey who are you?!
They both notice her.
Tate
“How can you see us? You can only do that when we want to!”
Tate gets up and walks to Mallory menacingly.
Mallory
“Have you seen Michael?”
Ben and Tate
“Michael?”
Michael appears behind her. He stabs her in the chest with a pair of scissors. She falls back on Tate.
Michael
“I was messing with you before. Time to die.”
Mallory pulls the scissors out and her wounds heal. Michael is shocked.
Michael
“How?!”
Mallory
“I am the fucking Supreme!”
A therapy chair flies right into Michael, causing him to hit the wall.
Tate
“The fuck is going on?!”
Mallory walks up to Michael who seems helpless.
Mallory
“You are nothing.”
She pulls up the scissors and is about to stab when she realizes something. She looks over at Ben and Tate.
Mallory
“Shit.”
Michael
“
If you kill me, I will be here. I’ll live on forever. Go on. I dare you.”
Mallory can’t decide what to do. She just stands there. Michael kicks her leg, causing her to drop the scissors and stabs her in the leg.
He gets up and tries to run downstairs but Mallory acts quick. The chandelier drops in the middle of the staircase, blocking Micheal from exiting. He runs back up. He goes into a bedroom and locks himself inside. Behind him sitting on the bed smoking is Violet Harmon.
Violet
“What the fuck are you doing?”
Michael
“Well hey there sis.
Violet’s eyes widen.
Violet
“How?! When did you grow-“
A violent slam interrupts her, Mallory uses the chair to break down the door.
Constance tries to go up the stairs but the chandelier is blocking her.
Constance
“Anyone care to help.”
Moria
“I will.”
Moria O’Hara stands next to her, startling Constance.
Constance
“Oh yeah right. As if.”
Moria
“
I hate you. But I hate other people more.”
Constance
“Even then. You’re old.”
Ben
“We can help too.”
Ben looks at Tate, he nods.
Moria, Constance, Ben and Tate start to move pieces of the chandelier big enough to let Constance through.
In Violet’s room, Michael grabs Violet and puts the scissors to her throat.
Michael
“Come any closer and I’ll slice her up.”
Mallory
“Are you an idiot?”
Michael
“
Excuse me?”
Violet
“I’m a ghost!”
Michael slices her throat and throws her at Mallory, causing both to tumble. He quickly runs out of the room. Mallory runs after him.
They run back to Ben’s office. Constance arrives upstairs, armed with a pistol.
Michael runs inside, rummaging through Ben’s desk for anything to fight back with.
Mallory
“It’s funny how truly helpless you are. Before with all the power and daddy’s support, you were cocky. Now without daddy, you are just a child.
Mallory pulls out the scissors.
Mallory
“Any last words?”
Constance arms the gun behind Mallory. She points it at her.
Mallory
“What are you doing?”
Constance
“Defending my grandson.”
Mallory
“You’re grandson will kill the entire world and start a new one under his father.”
Constance
“A world for Tate? That’s rich.”
Mallory
“Not him, Satan.”
Constance’s expression changes to horror and confusion.
Constance
“That can’t be… no! No!”
Michael
“Do you trust me or this stranger?”
Constance is unsure.
Mallory (desperately)
“Please.”
Constance redirects her pistol at Michael, shooting him in the stomach. He crashes through the window. He lands just near the gate, still in the property. There is silence between the two women.
Mallory
“I have to get him before he dies on the property.”
She runs out of the room. Constance stays, processing what she had just done.
Michael is running out on the street, holding his gut wound. Mallory goes outside.
Using her powers, she gears up her SUV telekinetically. The car hits Michael, goes back and runs him over and finally a third time. He is almost dead. Mallory just stands out of the house, waiting.
Constance runs outside and sees him. She runs to him.
Michael
“Grandma? I’m scared.”
Despite what she heard, Constance still feels compassion toward him as he dies.
Michael
“T-tak-ke me to th-he house. I can be with you. Forever.”
Constance considers it. She looks at Mallory in the distance.
Michael
“Please. I promise I won’t-
He coughs up blood.
Constance
“Go to Hell.”
She leaves a betrayed Michael at the street. Michael cries as the SUV runs his head over. Finally killing him. Constance walks over to Mallory.
Constance
“Please tell me that was the right thing to do.”
Mallory
“It definitely was.”
The SUV stops in front of them.
Mallory
“I have to go. I have a special appointment in New Orleans.”
Constance looks at her weirdly.
Constance
“What do I do now?”
Mallory
“Help people. Pursue a career. Anything you want.”
Mallory enters her car and drives away.
Murder House Kitchen, Dusk, 2015
Moria is cleaning the kitchen when Constance appears with a bag.
Constance
“
You were the worst maid in history. But even you deserve a proper grave.”
Moria cries.
Constance
“Took me all day. Where do you want them?”
Constance joins Moria as they sit on the floor while she cries.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Miss Robichaux’s Academy, 2015
Mallory (Narrating)
”Nothing ever truly dies. We are all made of energy and energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form to another. The trick is to be able to go back and pick the right moment in time and let it play out from there.”
