helplessly. Then Balto started coughing and a black and purple mist came from his mouth. It drifted towards Ron and enveloped him in the darkness. He started to gag. Jenna ran over to him but was pushed back forcefully. She could only watch as Ron slowly started to die. They could do nothing. Right when it was too late to save him, the gas formed a human-like head and smiled evilly before it dissipated.

            “Thank you Ron. Thank you for everything.” Jenna silently cried.

Hours later, Balto awoke. They were still at his boat.

            “Jenna?” he started, catching her by surprise. “Did something happen? I feel great. The air smells fresher and it all feels so light.”

            “You mean you don’t remember?”

            “Not a lick.”

            “Well, Ron was successful in exorcising you. But at the ultimate cost. He gave his life to save you.”

            “No. That couldn’t have happened!”

            “Well it did. And we can’t do anything about it. But you don’t know how happy I am to have you back to normal.” she stood up. “I forgive you. I’ll take back what I said earlier. But I have to go. I need time to think.”

            And that night, Balto had one final important dream.

            He was back in time once again at the old house. Back to when Cinnamon was still around. But the house was empty. Suddenly he had a tap on the shoulder. He spun around to see Cinnamon standing right there. Smiling.

            “Is this a nightma-”

            “None of the sort.”

            “Where are-”

            “They’re gone. And no, I wasn’t the one to get rid of them. Actually, all that they showed you about me and what happened was a lie. Nora did indeed shoot me. But not for the reason you think. She did hate me for being a dog. She finally snapped one night and killed me and her husband and daughter for being witnesses. When she realized what she had done she took everyone in that room and killed herself with the gun.”

            “Oh but-”

            “Why am I here? I just wanted to congratulate on lasting so long with them. They were terrible and I was suppressed by all of them. And don’t worry. Ron is in a good place now. He’s back home. And I have to go too. See you soon grandson.” Cinnamon smiled as he walked off into a light.

Fin.
