Ah, I feel fast. I wrote this ending in one day so it must suck really bad. I'm still kind of happy to see the way everything turned out. I'm sorry, but prepare! The next episode is going to be the saddest of them all! *cries* Oh, what have I done…? Oh, I'm such a bad person…
Thank you, reviewers!
PikaPower: Thanks for saying that! I feel like this episode isn't so crappy after all.
Mewlon: I'm great! *laughs* I like his sword too! (Link: "Excuse me!?") I've never been a fan of sequels, I've always liked the original story the most, but if you decide to write a sequel to the WtRC, I'll read it. Oh, you have that FE? Aww, I'm so jealous! I've been thinking about buying it, but always somehow I lose my money! It must be a paranormal phenomena! I'm so sure about that! I'd be glad to hear about Roy's roots, but don't spoil the game! And thanks!
RavenGhost: *laughs* Yay, I still manage to be confusing although I'm trying not to! I think they should take me in the Guinness Book of Records this year as the most confusing fanfic author. *sulks* And Roy… He has his reason to think the way he does…

"I didn't explain the voices to you?" Roy asked tiredly.
"No." But it might be because I cut you off, Link thought.
"The walls of old buildings are said to absorb easily sounds and memories. The so called ghost we've seen is a reflection of those memories or events that have probably happened here, I don't doubt them at all." The general paused. "However, as the memories of voices are 'recorded' to the walls, they change to sound twisted and somehow lower, unlike the images of people… these sounds or voices are not everyday talk, but mostly caused by strong emotions like anger or love. Understand?"
"So what you're saying is that these walls are like a huge recorder that records everything?" The Hylian could do nothing but look at his love. I think ghosts are a way more rational explanation to all these phenomena.
"Yes. That's what scientists say and I believe them though it sounds unbelievable."
"But that's absurd!"
"That's science!" The boy flared up. "And unlike everything supernatural like spiritism it can explain why and how things happen!"
The blonde couldn't say anything against that because Roy was right. Supernatural couldn't be explained by scientifical ways, but who needed science to explain them? Some things were just better to be left unexplained.
"Now, let's go to sleep." The redheaded teen said gently, taking his lover's hand. "We both need sleep."
"No, Roy. I'm not sleeping before we get back to the Smash Building."
"I'm not stopping you, but I'll go to sleep now."
Maybe it's better that Roy's asleep when I curse the ghost and seal her inside this house… Seeing her again would probably cause him another shock.
"Okay. I'll come and watch over you."
"I don't need your babysitting." The general ascertained with a tone of voice that implied clearly how Link's worrying over him annoyed him.
"Fine, fine. But I'll come anyway. We need to stay together." The Hero said as he opened a door and they walked to the library. The Hylian searched for a book he wanted for a long time and when he finally found it, they continued to the next room.
After visiting several times the same rooms where they'd been before they came to the bedroom and Roy collapsed on the bed. He mumbled something to the bloody pillow before falling asleep and his breathing slowing down.
The elf climbed next to his beloved and took him in his arms. He swore to himself that he wouldn't fall asleep even though he felt tired. It was up to him now that they were safe, because if they were both asleep and she killed them… A thought hit him that would they become ghosts to the house if they died? He didn't care. At least then they could be eternally together.
Roy snorted silently and he woke from his thoughts, looking at his beloved who slept so peacefully. Somehow he remembered the way the general had come to him, talking how the sensing of his death was scaring him. Could he really sense his death or was he implying that he would do a suicide?
No. You wouldn't do a suicide. I wouldn't let you.

"How many times have you knocked?" The blue haired prince walked next to Young Link who was basically ramming Roy's room's door with his head.
"MANY!" he said angrily. "COME ON, OPEN THE FREAKING DOOR!"
No answer.
"If they're not in their rooms, where can they be?"
"I don't know!" The small blonde snapped, his worry growing in him. He ran to the cobalt eyed prince and hugged him tightly. "Why does everyone keep disappearing?"
"If I knew the answer I'd make it stop."
"I want it to stop…" The boy whispered desperately. " I don't want to lose anyone."
"Soon we'll need to announce them missing and start searching for them outside this building."
---
The general woke up, sensing his death again. He sat up and took off Link's arms that were wrapped around him.
I must be feeling wrong again… Maybe it's this house that makes me feel like this. He thought as he lied down next to the blonde.
Ich werde an dir rachen… ich werde dich ermorden!
He opened his eyes, seeing an eerie light in the room.
This isn't… really happening. The general looked at the ghost, not really knowing what to believe. She was indeed pale and her face was mutilated and her eyes empty, but she looked real in all her frailty… How could she be a reflection if she looked so real?
The redhead shook his head. No way this reflection was anything more than a reflection. It couldn't hurt him. It wasn't real.
The nun was holding the bloody knife he'd seen in the bath tube and she lifted her hand, suddenly her mutilated face starting to shine with sick happiness. She was enjoying the effect she had on the general, even though he refused to believe in her.
Roy looked at the knife, wondering what she would do with it.
It's a reflection, it's not real, it's a reflection, it's not real, it's a reflection, it's not real--
Gute nacht, der General…
"Li-Link…" He said, feeling the death's claws already touching his soul and ripping it off from his body.
"Mm…" The Hylian pulled him down. The ghost walked slowly towards the bed, smiling more and more widely all the time.
"Link!" Roy almost screamed.
"Huh…" Link opened his eyes, but closed them right away. "You wanted to sleep, so sleep…" he mumbled.
The ghost stabbed the bed with the knife, but Roy rolled out of the way over the Hylian. He fell on the floor and took his lover's hand, trying to pull him out of the bed too before she would stab him.
"Link! For god's sakes, get up!" How could she stab the bed? She shouldn't be anything more than a reflection that can't do anything! "LINK!"
"What?" The Hero opened his eyes and looked into Roy's panicing sapphires, realising that he'd fallen asleep although he'd swore he wouldn't. he climbed quickly off the bed and glanced behind him to see the nun, slowly crawling over the bed towards them.
The Hylian took his love's hand and pushed him on the other side of the room, as far as possible from the nun. Then he smiled and said:
"I'll send you to the hottest hell…" he took a small book from his pocket and threw it to Roy, who catched it, looking extremely confused and lost.
"Roy! Read on from page 58!" Link unsheathed his sword.
"Umm…" The redhead browsed the book as the ghost ran towards him, pointing him with the knife.
"Roy!" Link shouted. The general lifted his eyes from the book to see the nun running at him and gasped. He ran to the door and through it to the kitchen, still searching for the page. The nun and Link both ran after him.
"Umm… Here! Kaiem uladeom licvida kintimo boeme, shanta I morgum tad everedem. Saten tinderm aroe deos, filado temos trava penur!" He continued reading and the nun stopped, touching her face.
Ich… ich.. NEIN!! She tried to run away, but the Hero blocked her path. He forced her against the wall and took a hold of her wrists, squeezing so hard that the knife fell on the floor. Then he let go and picked the knife.
"I have no intensions to kill you. I swore that I'd send you to the hottest hell, but then I realised that I would only do a favour for you. We're sealing you inside this mansion with the book Roy reads and you will suffer forever." Link said, his voice stormy. "Now. Let us out of here."
"Was? Ich kan nicht--" She threw a mouldy and smelly food plate on the Hylian's face.
"Agh!" Link smelled the food. He quickly wiped it off and said: " And you can very damn well talk english! Why else would you have so many english books in your library?"
"Ich kan nicht--"
"Just let us out and we won't make you suffer any more." The blonde put the knife on her wrist and continued: "What Roy reads doesn't only seal you here, but also makes you vulnerable. Would you like to get a few more cuts?"
"NEIN!!"
"Then let us out."
"Ja! Ja!" She pointed at a door. "Durch Di-diese Tür gehen S-Sie raus." Link and Roy looked at each other and walked to the door. As they opened it, they arrived to the balcony of the Smash Building and the bright sunlight hurt their eyes.
"We're back…" Roy said happily.
"Yeah."
"But… how is it possible?"
"Ah, I think we were both drugged." Link laughed.
They were both quiet for a while and looked at the garden opening in front of them.
"Hey! Where've you been the whole day?" Young Link ran from inside and hugged first Link and then Roy. The general looked at his love with an expression that asked 'what?', but the Hylian ignored it.
"We were just searching for ghosts… Unfortunately we didn't find any."
"I'm glad you're both okay. We searched for you everywhere!" Marth said, heaving a relieved sigh.
"I'm sorry we didn't inform…" The redhead said apologetically.
After a while of chatting with Marth and Young Link, they left to Roy's room to have a shower and to sleep a little after what they had experienced, the general still confused how they could've ended to the Smash Building's balcony.
"Hey, Link…" The general said as they came upstairs.
"Yeah?"
"Is that lunacy really now over?"
"Yeah. There's no way she could've got a new typewriter."
"Oh good." Roy said, he was too tired to start arguing about was there a she or not. But inside he somehow was fighting against himself. He didn't believe that she was a ghost and Link had touched her, but But, you know what?"
"What?"
p (SCENE: The Smash Building's corridor)
Roy: You smell like rotten food! Go to the shower! *pushes Link to a room and closes the door*
(CRASH!)
Link : *comes back to the corridor* That was the cleaning closet!

*laughs evilly* I just had to do that. Well, it's the end. It's really late now, so I won't start blabbing anything. I just hope you liked it and thanks for reading. Review if you liked it.
And the translations:
Gute nacht, der General = Good night, general
Durch Diese Tür gehen Sie raus = Through that door you can go out
