Chapter 12: Wax Corpse:
Prof. Jarrod's POV:
"This is where I recreated my Joan of Arc," I said to the unconscious Mirabel, "it's an interesting process, if you had patience with me, My Dear, I'll show you how it's done." I then lighted the flames.
Scott's POV:
I was waiting for Mirabel.
Wilfred's POV:
Hollie and I were on our way to the police station to tell Det. Winton everything.
. . .
"Jarrod's the one behind it all," I said.
"This was my neighbor's watch," says Hollie, "that he stole!"
"I can't take it," says Leon, "they're telling the truth! Jarrod killed that neighbor because he looks like Booth! His hands are no good, so he had to take subjects from real life!"
"And he helped him," I said.
"What about Burke," asks Det. Winton.
"He's there too," says Leon, "in wax! He was the one who set fire to the old museum! Jarrod came out of it alive, but not the same!"
"And what about Liselotte," I asked.
"The Joan of Arc," says Leon, "Joan of Arc, that's Liselotte! She's there with all the rest of them! That whole place is a morgue! He'll do the same to Mirabel Solarblind if he ever gets his hands on her! You've got to stop him! You've got to stop him before he does anymore killing!" We then all started to move, but then Leon grabs my arm. "There's something else you should know! That building is not really a building! The House of Wax itself is made of wax!"
"Really," I asked.
"That man is obsessed," says Leon, "that is the House of Wax's weakness!"
"Where did he even get... never mind." I then left.
Prof. Jarrod's POV:
"The look of horror spoils your lovely face," I said, "but it should show even through the wax." She then wakes up and screams at the sight of me, not that I really blame her. She tried to escape, but she couldn't. I had her strapped down.
Scott's POV:
I was searching through the building. I then saw the Joan of Arc and she had Liselotte's hair. I then found the wig. "Mirabel," I said. I then started looking for her. I then ran to the door and tried to open it, but it was locked. I then started knocking on it. "Mirabel, are you in there?" I then tried to grab a knight's lance, but then Igor showed up and was blocking the door. "Where's Mirabel?" I then grabbed him by the apron. "Where is she? Where is she?" I then heard Mirabel scream. I then ended up in a fight with Igor. He was strong.
Prof. Jarrod's POV:
Mirabel was still trying to escape, but she cannot! The process is almost complete and soon, so will my Marie Antoinette!
Scott's POV:
I was still fighting Igor. Igor then started choking me. Everything went black...
Prof. Jarrod's POV:
"The end will come quickly, My Love," I said, "it is a pain beyond pain, an agony beyond agony, so intense it shocks the mind! We'll find immortality together for they'll remember me through you!"
Wilfred's POV:
We arrived just in time to see Igor was about to decapitate Scott with that guillotine! The police then grabbed him.
"Where's Jarrod," asks Det. Winton.
"It's no use," says Hollie, "he's deaf and mute!"
Scott then wakes up just as we pulled him out of the guillotine. "Scott, where is Jarrod," I asked.
"In the cellar," says Scott, "he's got Mirabel!"
"Take care of him," says Det. Winton. The police then ran to the cellar door.
"Wilfred, what are you doing," asks Hollie.
"I am going to make sure no one ever comes back to this dreadful place ever again!" I then lighted a match and threw it to a wall. The whole building then started to melt.
Prof. Jarrod's POV:
I started to smell smoke. Someone has found out the secret of my House of Wax and now it could all melt! The police then came and tried to grab me, but I refused to go down that easily! I was about to fall into the wax, but then a strange shadow saved me from that form of irony!
. . .
I was then taken outside. "You," I said, "the man who insulted my Dracula... but why did you save me... and how? Who are you?"
"Zomeone vho vantz to zhow you vfe real Draculuh!" He then bit my neck...
Mirabel's POV:
The House of Wax is now just a giant wax puddle, and no one knows what happened to Jarrod.
"Since you almost lost your head, Miss Solarblind," says Det. Winton, "you wanna keep that one as a spare?"
"Thank you," I said.
"Thanks to you, along with Wilfred and Hollie, we're still alive," says Scott, "but you know, anytime I shave, I can still feel that guillotine."
"Please, let's not talk about it anymore," I said.
"Yes, you're right," says Det. Winton.
"Det. Winton, thank you for the use of your coat," I said.
"All that was nothing," says Det. Winton.
"Well, it means a lot to me," I said.
"Well, when I found that you weren't dressed too warmly," says Det. Winton, "I didn't want you to catch cold."
"Goodbye, Det. Winton and thanks for everything," I said.
"Goodbye," says Det. Winton.
We then left.
Wilfred's POV:
Hollie and I were looking at Igor's wax head.
"By the time he gets out," I said, "that will grow a long beard!"
Epilogue:
Scott and Mirabel had two children, Sue and Max Tennyson. Wilfred and Hollie had a son, Blythe.
