"I hate this job!" Dennis wailed as he leaned against the wall, his hands and forehead pressed against the glass.

"They don't seem to like you either, I wonder why?" Kalina smarted as she removed things from her satchel.

Dennis tiredly walked over to the table in the middle of the library where the three women were, throwing his viewers on the table.

"You got something to say, say it." He stated to her, walking back to lean against the glass wall again.

"Fine, then lets start with THIS ALL YOUR GODDAMN FAULT!!!" Kalina shouted at him in anger, Dennis only glanced back at her oddly. "If you hadn't caught them we wouldn't be running from them now would we!"

"Its Cyrus who built the damn house!" Dennis yelled back agitated.

"Yeah, but you helped him! How could you help him without knowing what he was doing!" she spat back.

Dennis leaned down, resting his hands on his knees exhausted.

"I had my reasons." He said candidly, staring up at her with a dark look in his eyes.

"Money you parasite! You stole people souls for money! How depraved is that?"

"In case you haven't noticed I'M A LITTLE BIT OF A FREAK!!!" he screamed back, Kalina only glared at him. "I come within ten feet of anything dead I go into seizers! I touch someone, and a whole life full of shit flashes in front of my eyes! So yeah, I'm depraved!" he finished, flopping down in the nearest chair out of breath.

"That's still no excuse for what you did!" Kalina fussed, being interrupted by Evy.

"Back the fuck off him!" Evelyn shouted to her, anger in her sapphire eyes, Kalina fell silent.

Dennis quickly distracted his attention towards Evy, then back to the floor sadly.

"Its my fault..." Serena mumbled from the corner of the library.

"What?" Evy asked her confused.

"I was the one that helped Cyrus find the ghosts..." she muttered feeling guilty. "He found out where and who... I'd track them down to their exact last location, only catch was once we found it... it was kinda hard to find out where the ghost were literally last located... so Cyrus suggested the assistance of ESP."

Dennis and Evy looked at each other pensively.

"What about Henry, what did he do?" Evy asked apprehensively.

"Its not what he did... its what his father did..." Serena sighed. "Henry's father owned some glass company..."

"Glass company?" Dennis questioned puzzled.

"About fifteen years ago Henry's father discovered that he had created a special type of glass... one that could actually see into the spiritual realm. No one believed him of course, except one person, the same person who tried to buy out his company and take it over for his own reasons..." Serena babbled.

"Let me guess... Cyrus!" Dennis sighed, Serena nodded.

"But Henry's father refused to sell, less then a year later he died... leaving everything to Henry, including the company. So Cyrus took Henry under his wing, pretty much taking over the company since Henry had no idea how to run a glass factory!" she told them.

"Figures..." Evy mumbled, standing over Dennis, examining the scratches on his back.

"Yeah, sounds just like Cyrus! Deceitful as ever... Ah!" Dennis said, moaning in pain as Evy touched the bloody shredded cotton that made up the back of his shirt.

"Sorry..." Evy whispered to him.

"About a year after that the company name was changed from The Morris Corp. to Ocu-Sight Inc. thanks to Mr. Kriticos!" She explained with attitude towards Cyrus. "He put that stupid symbol on everything!" she cussed, pointing to the circular symbol on the cover of the large leather bound book Kalina held with all her might. "All the vans, all the equipment, then decided he wanted to use the rest of the glass in the factory as containment cubes for the ghosts because of its strength and durability. So then he called Damon to get the spells."

Kalina looked down sadly at the mention of Damon's name.

"Damon, that guy Kalina was with when we..." Evy began.

"Yes, he was the one that had the Arcanum, it was passed down through the generations in his family, but turns out he needed some help with deciphering some of the Latin." Kalina stated, interrupting Evy. "He was killed at the junkyard with Cyrus..." she said almost heartfelt, the other three became silent.

"Goddamnit!" Serena shouted with tension, breaking the moment of silence. "I should have known this would happen, I should have never came within three feet of that Ben Moss fucker! Figures he would lead us here!"

"You knew him before tonight?" Dennis asked tiredly.

"Well..." she trailed off. "He wasn't just Cyrus' lawyer, he was also his spokesperson for the business..." she muttered feeling a little ashamed for not telling them sooner.

"Just perfect, anything else you've neglected to tell us?" Evy spat as she walked towards the table, Serena slowly shook her head no.

"If you don't mind, I have something to tell you!" Kalina smarted with impatience.

Dennis held out his hand in a 'please continue' gesture.

"This house is not a house..." she started, sitting down at the table. "It is a machine. It is a complete and faithful recreation of Basileus' design! According to this there should be twelve earthbound spirits trapped inside." She lectured, opening the book in front of her. "See these, they represent the Black Zodiac, they represent the ghosts that Cyrus needed to catch." She flipped to the pages of the Black Zodiac...

"The First Born Son, The Torso, The Bound Woman, The Withered Lover, The Torn Prince, The Angry Princess, The Pilgrimess, The Great Child and The Dire Mother, The Hammer, and here the sign of Hell's Winter The Jackal, and the Juggernaut. According to Basileus the machine required the energy of these specific spirits in order to bring it to life. Once it engages the spirits are released one by one, the house then draws them to its center. Each one adds its energy to the machine, powering it up!" Kalina explained.

"Powering it up for what?" Dennis asked curiously.

"To open the Ocularis Infurnum." She answered.

"The Ocularis, what is that?" Evy asked.

"Its Latin..." Serena muttered, trying to translate the word. "The Eye of Hell..." she said drearily.

"Sounds cozy..." Dennis mumbled to himself bleakly.

"In hell there is an eye that sees everything, the past and the future, the heaven and earth, the blessed and the damned." Kalina continued. "If knowledge is power, then the man that controls the Ocularis would be the most powerful man on earth... Cyrus."

Dennis groaned in aggravation as Evy only shook her head.

"How many ghosts have been released so far?" Serena asked her sister hopelessly.

"Eleven, and the house needs twelve." she answered. "In order to stop the process the house needs a sacrifice of life instead of death, a willing human sacrifice. The sacrifice of The Broken Heart, the only ghost to be created out of an act of pure love."

"So whose the thirteenth ghost?" Evy asked confused, Kalina looked over at Dennis consciously.

Dennis knew what her look meant, sadly he hung his head.

"You're the Thirteenth Ghost..." Serena stated as she looked at Dennis remorsefully.

"No... no..." Evy muttered redundantly. "It can't be Dennis... NO!" she demanded, denying their allegations.

"Love is the most powerful energy... the thirteenth spirit stands before the eye at the final configuration, as the eye opens the spirit uses the power of life to essentially short circuit the system." Kalina informed them.

"How?" Serena asked.

"By leaping into the eye."

"What? NO WAY!" Evy exclaimed in shock. "I mean why would he need to... Dennis is not going to leap into any eye of hell for no apparent reason what so ever!!! This is insane, and I won't listen to it... so think up another plan!" she protested.

"She's right, I mean there's gotta be a better way!" Dennis added, walking over to the table and picking up the large book. "I don't read Latin!" he whined as he thumbed through its old pages.

"Well can try it the old fashion way, my personal favorite!" Kalina complained as she emptied the contents of her satchel, dynamite and explosives fell onto the table. "Nobody's gonna be here to brag about it afterwards! Whatever we decide we gotta come up with a game plan soon cuz time's running out!"

"What? You're gonna blow the place up!?!" Evy questioned distressfully.

"The last ghost is about to be released!" she answered smugly.

"What're we gonna do?" Evy whispered to herself, Dennis looked up at her, frowning at the sight of her worrying.

"Its gonna be okay..." he assured her, walking over and hugging her tightly. "Besides, I've been looking for a reason to like myself for a long time!" he said lightly.

"That's not funny!" she muttered seriously, her head resting on his shoulder.

"Don't worry... I think I got a plan." He whispered in her ear, Evy looked at him curiously.
