Seto swung with all his might at the window with the object he broke off from the house. The glass smashed, but didn't shatter in, as he went to take another swing, the glass repaired itself. He swung, and the process repeated itself. After a few swings, he dropped the object, and crashed on the ground. He leaned against the car. He held back tears. "If I hadn't missed dinner, none of this would have ever happened." He muttered.
Kiarra tried to open the balcony doors, but they wouldn't budge.
"Is something wrong, Mrs. Kaiba?" Aden asked, entering.
"Yes, Mr. Montgomery-"
"Oh yes, I know my dear. He's waiting for you." Aden said. "He's been waiting for you for 200 years."
"You can't be serious." Kiarra said. "I'm not Karina."
Aden went to the bed, and picked up the wedding dress. "You really should get ready." He said, motioning to the mirror.
Kiarra looked to the mirror, to see Seto trapped in a trunk, trying to free himself. She gasped. "Let him go." She said.
"Oh, he will be let go, as soon as you are married." Aden said, handing Kiarra the dress. "And only after you are married."
Kiarra clutched the dress, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Seto tried to compose himself, tried to think of how he could get inside the mansion.
"What are you doing?" Espana asked as the Crystal Ball she resided in rolled up to him.
"Go away…" Seto said.
"Oh, so you're just giving up?"
"I tried alright? I tried and nothing works." Seto said.
"You try. You fail. You try. You fail. But the only true failure is when you stop trying." Espana said.
"Alright then, if you're so smart, what is your suggestion?" Seto asked, a little angry.
"Try again." Espana said.

Seto slammed on the gas in the car-which he managed to start- flouring it in reverse, before quickly shifting it into drive. "Here goes nothing." He said, and stomped on the gas, heading for an incline in the dirt. Once he drove over it, the car was sent flying into the green house, crashing into it, and landing near Sebastian's desk. Seto exited the car, leaving Espana alone in the passenger seat.
Kiarra, dressed in Karina's wedding dress, walks slowly up the stairs at the front of the ballroom, where Sebastian and Aden, dressed at a priest to perform the ceremony, waited. Sebastian put his hand out for her. "Karina."
She took his hand. "Sebastian." She said sweetly.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here in the sight of God to join this man and this woman in Holy Matrimony."
Seto, who was just in the foyer, dodges a lance thrown from one of the suits of armour that had suddenly come to life. "I don't have time for this!" He muttered, and grabbed the lance, running towards the suits of armour.
"Wilt thou, Sebastian Montgomery, have this woman to be thy wedded wife, to live together after God's ordinance, in the holiest state of matrimony?" Aden asks.
Sebastian looks at Kiarra and smiles. "I will."
"And do you, Karina Gracely, take this man to be your lawful husband, to love and cherish in death as you did in life?"
"I do." Kiarra says, a few tears going down her cheeks.
"From this day forward, you shall be joined together as one for all eternity until the very end of time." Aden says as he pours the poison into the wine. He then speaks Latin, as he holds up the glass. "What God has joined together let no man cast asunder."
Kiarra takes the wine glass.
"I anyone has any objections." Aden says.
Kiarra drinks the wine as he says this and the doors open.
"Yea." Seto said, "There's no way in hell I'm letting you marry my wife."
Kiarra drops the wine glass and runs over to Seto. She hugs him. "But-" She stops. "You know what, I don't care, I'm just glad you're here."
"Kiarra, I don't care if we have to walk all the way to that hotel, but we're leaving." Seto said.
"Let's go." Kiarra said.
"I have lost you once, Karina; I will not lose you again." Sebastian said, approaching them. He drew his sword, pointing it at Seto. "Now get away from her."
"Well there are two problems with that. One, she isn't Karina, and two," Seto pulled out the letter from his pocket. "this was Karina's real letter, the one Aden hid from you."
Sebastian took the letter and read it, slowly turning towards Aden. "What is the meaning of this Aden?"
"He's clearly insane." Aden said.
"But this is written in her hand." Sebastian said. "Well? Explain yourself."
"I couldn't let you throw away everything for that woman." Aden said.
"So you killed her?" Sebastian asked
"To protect you from making a mistake."
"Loving her was a mistake?" Sebastian asked, angry.
"Yes! I've sacrificed everything to protect you, but what would you know of that?" Aden asked. He scoffed. "You loved her. Well Damn you, damn you all to hell!"
Suddenly, the room darkened, and Aden's eyes glowed. The fireplace seemed to come alive, and from within it, a dragon made of hell's fire appeared and flew around the room towards Aden, grabbing him. As Aden flew passed them, Seto moved Kiarra closer to him, watching the dragon take Aden into the fireplace and down below into hell. Once the fire subsided, he turned to look at her. Her eyes were heavy, and she wobbled, falling in his arms. "Kiarra!" He said, leaning on the ground. "What's wrong?"
"The poison!" Mai gasped.
"She drank it just before you entered." Joseph said.
"No…" Seto said, bringing her close to him. "Kiarra, don't leave me. Please, I love you." He said.
"Seto…" She said weakly. Her eyes fluttered before they shut and her body went limp.
"No!" Seto said, tears coming to his eyes. "Kiarra, please!"
From the doors, entered a round blue ghost ball, and a light dance tune played. Seto looked up, and stared at it, watching it approach Kiarra. "Get away!" He said.
Mai put a hand on his shoulder. "Wait…." She said. "Let it enter her body."
Seto watched as the ghost ball entered Kiarra's body. After a moment, her body began to rise and float above them. Her eyes opened, and she smiled down at them.
"Karina?" Sebastian asked.
"Yes, it is I Sebastian." A soft voice said. "The truth had to be known for my soul to be freed."
Sebastian held her when she floated over to him. "Karina I'm so sorry…I should have known"
"All is forgiven, my love." She said. "And now, we shall enter heaven together."
Sebastian smiled, and kissed her.
Seto watched for a moment. "Um, I hate to be rude, but that is my wife." He said.
Karina turned to Seto, and after leaving her body, Kiarra fainted into Seto's arms. Seto panicked, but was relieved when she slowly opened her eyes. "I thought-"
Kiarra kissed him, stopping him from saying anything else.
Sebastian took the hand of Karina's spirit. "Can you forgive me?"
"There's nothing to forgive." Seto said. "All that matters is that you're together again."
Sebastian handed Seto the deed. "Do whatever you wish with this house. It is yours. Thank you."
Before Seto could say anything, Sebastian and Karina stepped into a light that came from the roof and floated up, disappearing up into the light.
After she had changed back into her clothes, Kiarra and Seto found the car where it had been before Seto had driven it into the green house. There wasn't a scratch on it, but it didn't start. Not long later, the tow truck came, and took them to the hotel.
"Seto never again missed a date with Kiarra, and would always take off from work for her birthdays and their anniversaries. He never stayed longer then he had to at work, and they lived happily, Kiarra giving birth to a baby girl.
As for all the spirits trapped by the curse, they were all released and they all went to heaven. Seto and Kiarra turned the mansion into a museum, only after all the bodies in the cemetery were moved to a better resting place. They held masques there on All Hallows Eve, Kiarra wearing Karina's gown the first year.
And they lived happily, forever after." Espana said, as she faded into the darkness.
