I only own my OC, Taylor, I do not own Tess, Bentley, Qwark, Mz. Ruby, or any of the ParaNorman characters.

Taylor soon puts on her goggles and begins to see what Qwark sees.

Qwark sees the face doing a malicious laughter, while the towns people yell at the town hall.

Taylor soon switches to Tess's point of view, who sees the fire has spread a bit, and weakened a support beam, causing Tess, Courtney, Neil and Alvin to gasp.

"Guys, guys!" the others look at Mitch, who was underneath something as he gestures them to come over said, "Under here, under here!"

The soon went to Mitch's position, while Courtney soon said, "Mitch, Mitch, if we die, tonight, this may be the last chance I get to tell you how I feel."

Mitch replied, "Uh, well, no, unless we get brought back as zombies, and then, technically, you'll have longer."

Taylor took off her goggles, then she and Norman opened up the door, winced by the smoke, and moved with the others seeing them, who were shocked. Courtney asked, "Norman? Taylor?"

Norman soon said, "Come on! This way!" gesturing the zombies.

"You got to be kidding me," Courtney said.

Taylor soon put her goggles on, and saw things through Qwark's eyes, who sees a burning wooden beam burst through the doors, causing the townspeople to wince and gasp. Everyone looked and saw nothing, but then Judge Hopkins, and the other zombies came out one by one out of the building, groaning. The Sheriff came to the ground, pointed her gun, and said, "You stay right where you are!" The zombies stopped, as the Sheriff continued, "You may be dead already, but I will still shoot you!"

Norman soon went in front of the zombies, and said while spreading his arms, "Wait!"

Qwark heard Sandra gasped, and said, "Oh, my gosh."

Taylor and Courtney came out as well, and seeing this caused Courtney to gasp, while the face of the witch watches them.

Taylor swapped her goggles to look through Perry's eyes, who said, "Son! Step away from the zombies!"

"No, I won't," Norman replied.

Perry was saying he wanted to do something, then Sandra said, "Perry, calm down! You're going to have a heart attack, and then what are you going to do?"

Perry turns to Sandra and replies, "I'll come back and haunt Norman! Maybe then he'll start listening to me."

Norman holds his hands and says, "No! No, you don't understand what's happening here. I spoke to them, and it's not what you think," Tess, Mitch, Alvin, and Neil looked with Taylor and Courtney, as Norman explains, "The curse isn't about the zombies hurting you, it's about you hurting them. I figured it out, and I know a way to stop this."

No one was listening to them, then Miss Henscher said, "He's in league with them!"

"Let's hang him!" cried the deputy.

A female civilian soon said, "We can't hang him, stupid! It's the 21st century.!"

"Then let's burn him!" cried the deputy.

"Can you please stop being a mob for just one minute?" asked Sandra.

"Listen to me!" cries Norman.

The woman with the shotgun burst between Perry and Sandra, and said, "Get them before they eat us!"

The townspeople soon charged at Norman and they zombies, who backed up in fear. Taylor took off her goggles, then saw Courtney glared, and yelled, "Leave him alone!" Everyone gasped and stopped. Courtney soon grabbed Norman's left hand, while Neil grabbed his left hand, while Mitch grabbed the Neil's, while Taylor, with Tess on her shoulders, and Qwark came to the front. Alvin soon grabbed Courtney's rear, causing her to gasp, and said, "Hand, Alvin. My hand." Norman looked and gave the townspeople a smirk. Courtney soon yelled out, "Everybody, listen up! You all need to stop trying to kill my brother! You're adults! You stop it!" She paused, then said, "I know this is crazy. Believe me, I am with you on that. But I think he does actually know what he's talking about."

Neil soon said, "All night, he's been trying to save you from the witch's curse."

"Yeah! Yeah! And all you want to do is burn and murder stuff, burn and murder stuff. Just burning and murdering," Mitch said.

Alvin then said, "Yeah, shame on every single one of you! How dare you all?"

Taylor soon said, "So, just for once, listen to Norman, for what he was saying, while you all lost your senses."

"She is right!" Qwark said, proudly, causing Taylor and Tess to roll their eyes in annoyance.

The shotgun woman soon asked, "So, they're not going to hurt us?"

"No. Does it look like any of them are trying to hurt you?" Norman asked, paused then said, "They're just people. Well, at least they used to be. Just stupid people who should have known better." Norman paused, then continued, "They did something unforgivable because they were scared, and they were cursed for it. Now it's happening all over again." Norman paused again, then asked, "Don't you get it? They were just like you. But now it has to stop. For good."

The adults soon bowed in shame, and dropped their objects they were using for weapons, while the girl who took the arm, gave it back to the zombie she pulled it from. But then Agatha screamed shrilly, causing everyone to look at her in fear, as the cloud claws reappeared, grabbed the statue, and flew it up, causing the towns people to scatter in fear. Agatha soon used the cloud claws to destroy all the stuff for promotional propaganda in the town, like the gift shop, the town sign. Taylor, Tess, Norman, and Neil hid where the statue was.

Neil soon yelled, "Sheesh, what is her problem?" She continues to go into a rage, as the statue falls to the ground and shatters.

They looked at each other, then Sandra looked, and said, "Oh, Norman!" She hugs him, which he smiles at.

Neil hugs as well, and then asked, "So, what do we do now?"

Norman stammers, and replied, "I don't know."

"Yes, you do, Norman, said Courtney, as the others look at her, as she said, "You've got to get to that witch's grave," she pointed at Agatha.

Norman said, "But..."

"But nothing!" Courtney interrupted, and said, "Listen to me, buster. We didn't turn away when Daleridge High was slaughtering our volleyball team, did we?"

"I thought we did," Norman said.

Courtney replied, "No, we didn't. I have cheered the uncheerable, Norman, and I'm not letting you give up now!"

Norman thought about it, and then gave his sister a stern look, nodded, and asked, "Dad, could I borrow the car?"

This caused Perry to be surprised, and asked, "Excuse me?"

Taylor soon said, "If you're going, I'm going, too, Norman, Agatha and I have things we need to talk about, but there is someone else waiting for us there as well."

Perry soon asked, "And who would that be?"

Some speakers soon made some sounds, as a voice Taylor knew was Mz. Ruby, who said, "Hey there, Taylor Fearbrave! Yeah, I know you're here, and I also know you are planning to join Norman on his quest to lay Agatha to rest for good, well, if you both want to get to her, you'll have to get through me first, and I might ask Agatha to help me a bit in our face off, I wish you luck, girl."

Taylor soon said, "There's your answer, sir."

Qwark soon said, "Okay, let's go!"

"Hold it, Qwark," Taylor said, causing Qwark to stop, while Taylor said, "I want you to stay here and watch the town and the zombies, while we use Judge Hopkins, the lead zombie to find Agatha's grave."

Qwark soon thought, then said, "You got it!"

Taylor nodded, then looked at Tess on her shoulder, and asked, "You're ready, Tess?"

"Ready as I'll ever be," Taylor replied.

This caused Perry and Sandra to be surprised, but soon everyone went into the car, which was a bit of a tight squeeze in the back, but they drove off.

They soon heard some reporter, but then Sandra changed the radio so everyone can hear some mellow music.

"Well, that's a bit soothing, Mrs. Babcock," Tess said.

"Thank you, Tess," Sandra replied, but then sniffed something funky, which she knew was Hopkins, so she sprayed some perfume. They soon see people clamoring at the town destroyed by Agatha's rage, then Sandra said, "Whoo, boy. The traffic tonight, huh?"

Hopkins soon leans a bit at Courtney who said, "Norman! Uh! He's on my side of the seat."

Norman looks at Hopkins, and said, "She wants you to move over."

Hopkins mumbles, then Courtney said, "Um, I heard that!" She looked at Sandra, and said, "Mom, tell the zombie to stop saying things about me."

"Can you quit using the 'Z' word?" Norman asked, Courtney mimicked Norman.

Perry soon yelled, "So help me, I will stop this car right now if all three of you don't quit it this instant!" He soon said, "At least Tailor Fearbrave and her talking rat has some mannners."

"Ottsel, sir, I'm an ottsel," Tess said.

"Okay, sorry I called you a rat," Perry said, Taylor soon saw Hopkins looking at something, and mumbles while pointing.

Norman soon translated, "He says, take a left here."

Perry stops, and said while backing up and turning, "We've already been this way! We're going around in circles!"

"Maybe we should pull over and ask someone," Sandra suggested.

"Oh, right! You think maybe we should stop at a graveyard and dig up some other 18th-century corpses?" Perry asked sarcastically.

"It's not a bad idea," Sandra replied.

"I think he was being sarcastic," Taylor said.

"Taylor's right, and I wish I understood you," Perry said. Hopkins mumbles and points again, causing Perry to groan, and said, "Please don't tell me he needs to use the bathroom."

"Turn down here!" Norman translated.

Perry turned right and everyone saw a swirling vortex with a bit of Agatha's face, then Sandra said, "Oh, my. Do you think that's it?"

"I think so," Taylor puts on her goggles, and asked, "What do you think, Bentley?"

"Oh, yes, my paranormal scanners are really maxing out at that vortex," Bentley replied.

"Then here we go then, everyone," Taylor said.

Taylor and Norman are going to now face Mz. Ruby and Agatha. Will they be able to beat them, and what surprise is Taylor going to give Mz. Ruby? Anyway, if you're reading this, thank you for reading.
