Chapter four:
Mihael opens the door that was open a small bit and looks horrified inside.
The house is a mess and it is dark.
No signs of life.
Mihael walks in feeling tears come to his eyes not knowing what exactly happened but he doesn't realize there is dark magic at work that made the home as well as him get lost into two different darkness's causing him and his family to have their worst fear come to life.
Back with Natalie and Ember…..
Ember stares worriedly and a little teary eyed at the clock. "Where are you?" She softly asks the question meant for her father.
Natalie is also staring at the clock in the same way but won't let her daughter see her face because for a child it's scary when their mother cries. She closes her eyes wishing this is all just a bad dream.
With Mihael…..
Mihael stands in the room where the kitchen is and he has his eyes shut tightly praying for this all to just be a nightmare. He opens his tear filled eyes and looks down noticing the clock on the ground. He goes over to it and picks it up putting it back on the wall where it's supposed to be. He keeps his grip on the edges as a tear threatens to fall from his eyes as he stares at the not working clock. He closes his eyes hoping that this time when he opens them everything will be alright once again. He removes one hand from the clock and grabs the minute hand with his other hand turning it backwards.
With Natalie and Ember…..
Natalie reaches to the clock gripping the minute hand and starts to turn it backwards as she closes her eyes trying to stay strong for Ember.
Ember blinks sadly and brings her doll that looks like her father closer to her heart as she too closes her eyes.
Natalie can't help the tear that falls from her eyes as she continues to move the minute hand backwards to a time when they were together.
Unknowingly through the power of love and wishing the two break the darkness as the stitching on Embers doll of her father disappears like the doll had never been damaged and as the minute hand reaches the number twelve marking it stops as Natalie and Mihael's hands are together on the minute hand.
Feeling each other's hands they open their eyes hopefully.
Natalie lowers her hand to by her chest and turns shocked mixed with hopeful to look to Mihael who had lowered his hand to be limp at his side like his other hand.
Mihael smiles grateful and relieved at his wife.
Natalie dashes into her husband's arms as they close their eyes happily as they lovingly embrace.
Ember blinks open her eyes still sad at first then it quickly switches to happiness as she sees her parents hugging. She rushes over with the doll of her father in one hand and she jump hugs her father who opens his eyes along with Natalie doing the same. "Daddy!" She cries happily as her father breaks his hug with his wife to embrace his daughter.
"Ember!" Mihael says happily embracing his daughter. He keeps embracing his daughter with one arm and wraps his other arm around his wife's hips pulling her close. He gives her a kiss on the lips.
Outside it has become beautiful weather again as the sun begins to rise.
The end.
