When Rachel noticed that Louis had fallen into Ellie's tricks, Ellie, distracted for a moment, launched herself at Louis with a sharp kitchen knife in her hand.
"No!!! You are not my daughter. She would never try to kill her brother!"
With an angry scream and a look filled with hatred, Rachel swung the baseball bat she had carefully taken from behind her, not alerting Ellie, who was holding the knife to Gage's neck.
Bang~
Just before the knife could pierce Louis's chest, the baseball bat hit Ellie's jaw on the left side of her face with a huge impact.
The blow sent visible shock waves through Ellie's face, and she fell, lying motionless.
"____"
Gulp~
Louis looked at Rachel, who had hit Ellie with such force, in shock and gulped.
Noticing that Ellie had fallen and was lying motionless, Rachel didn't waste a second. She pulled Gage to her side and checked him for injuries from the previous exchange with Ellie.
Sigh~
With a sigh, Rachel gripped the baseball bat tightly, which she had put down while checking Gage, and looked at the prone Ellie with narrowed eyes.
"____"
"What are you doing, Rachel?"
Louis asked, looking at his wife, who was emitting murderous intent as she gazed at him and then at Ellie, who lay motionless.
"Finishing what you started..."
Rachel replied in an angry tone as she walked toward Ellie, who was on the ground, unmoving.
She lifted the baseball bat above her head as high as she could.
Breathing... breathing...
Rachel's breath started to quicken, and her hands shook slightly as she eyed the motionless Ellie on the ground.
'What have you done, Louis? Why did you do this to our daughter? Turning her into this... I need to stop her from hurting Gage and Louis. I have to do this; there's no other option.'
Rachel tried to convince herself that she needed to kill Ellie, who had come back to life after death, believing there was no other choice.
Meow~
Just as she was about to strike Ellie's head, Church, who had somehow snuck onto a cabinet, jumped at Rachel and attacked her aggressively.
Church scratched Rachel's face, causing her to fall on her back, not expecting to be attacked by the cat.
"Church too???"
Rachel pointed at the cat, which stood protectively before Ellie, hissing at her. She asked Louis, who was standing behind her with a dark expression.
"When I buried Church, I didn't know this would happen."
Noticing Rachel's darkening expression as she looked at him, Louis explained.
Sigh~
"So what? You bloody cat... go to hell!"
Rachel stood and swung at Church, but the cat easily dodged her attack.
Ahh~
Just as she was about to swing again, a knife pierced through her thigh.
"Rachel!!!"
Seeing his wife injured, Louis hurried forward and held her to prevent her from falling onto the broken glass vases on the ground with their sharp edges.
Regaining her balance, Rachel turned and looked at Ellie, who was smiling at her while sitting curled up on the ground.
The left side of Ellie's face, where the baseball bat had hit her, had skin that was now loose, as if it wasn't really Ellie's face, but someone wearing a mask.
"Mom... why did you hit me? Don't you love me?"
Ellie asked Rachel with teary eyes as Rachel eyed her like an enemy.
"____"
"____"
"Don't try to act like my daughter, you fucking monster!... You can't fool me!"
Rachel snapped at Ellie, her eyes narrowing in anger as Ellie cried and pointed at her accusingly.
Sigh~
"As expected of you, who killed your own..."
"Don't..."
"Your own sister, who was seriously ill, just because you hated how she looked."
Ellie sneered, her words poking at Rachel's weak spot.
Rachel, already suffering from PTSD because of her older sister's death, was now triggered. She blamed herself for her sister's death when she was a young girl, a secret only Louis knew about—neither Ellie nor Gage knew.
Hearing Ellie mention it, Rachel's face changed, and she began to have a panic attack, remembering the scene where her sister died.
"Don't worry, Dad... Mom, after I kill you and bury you, you'll come back to life, and we can live happily as a family."
Ellie slowly took another knife from the knife stand, using Rachel's panic attack as a distraction, and walked toward them with Church, waiting for the perfect opportunity.
Crunch~
Just before Ellie and Church could attack, the glass window on the side shattered into dust, and a flaming monster entered the house, launching its attack on Church.
With its sharp canines, the monster bit Church's neck and started shaking it violently like a wild predatory beast.
Church, now on fire, screamed in agony and within seconds, turned to dust.
"____"
"____"
"____"
Grrr~
After killing Church and turning it into dust within seconds, the flaming skeleton monster stood between Ellie and her family.
BOOM...
Sigh~
"GOOD JOB, BIFFER."
Seeing the unknown monster protecting them, both Rachel and Louis sighed in collective relief.
Suddenly, the wall behind Ellie, where the door was, crumbled into pieces, and a Ghost Rider entered the scene.
"LITTLE GIRL, COME HERE LIKE A GOOD GIRL. BIG BROTHER WILL FREE YOU."
Ghost Rider pointed at Ellie, crouched down, and signaled her to come near him.
"What happened to this girl? Why isn't she fighting back?"
Freya asked curiously, looking at Ghost Rider, who remained in his form.
"Damn... I already miss Forks... Why does she smell the same as that dog?"
Edward's face turned ugly; he was very sensitive to smells compared to the other Cullens.
"____"
"WE ARE FROM DMC AND HAVE COME TO HANDLE YOUR COMPLAINT, MR. LOUIS CREED."
Ghost Rider introduced himself to Louis, Rachel, and their son, Gage, who were all looking at them worriedly.
Sigh~
"You guys finally showed up... please save my family and Ellie."
Hearing Ghost Rider's introduction, Louis sighed in relief and asked them to save his family and daughter.
Noticing the flaming monster wasn't paying any attention to her, Ellie threw the knife at Ghost Rider.
Stab...
With a resonating thud, the knife pierced through the jacket he was wearing and went deep into his chest, right where his heart would be.
Hehe~
Seeing she had succeeded in her sneak attack on the monster, Ellie smirked.
But when Ghost Rider gripped the knife embedded in his chest, he slowly pulled it out.
When the knife was fully extracted, everyone saw it had melted, glowing bright red.
Ellie didn't waste a second and tried to run out of the house through the window where Biffer had entered earlier.
Swoosh...
Moving at high speed, Freya appeared before Ellie, lifting her by the collar of her top.
"Leave me... otherwise, I will kill you!"
Ellie angrily retorted as she was lifted into the air.
"Stay put in your place, sweetie..."
Freya threw Ellie towards Ghost Rider, who caught her.
RAAAAAAA...
Without wasting time, Ghost Rider opened his mouth and unleashed a wave of flames that engulfed Ellie. Her body combusted and turned to ashes.
"Is it over?"
Seeing Ellie turned to ashes before his eyes, Louis asked Ghost Rider, still a bit worried.
"NAH..."
RA... RA... RA...
"IT'S JUST THE BEGINNING... WE HAVE A WHOLE FOREST BEFORE US."
With a laugh, Ghost Rider shook his head and pointed at the forest behind the backyard of Louis's house, where the pet cemetery was located, with a fiery glint in his hollow eyes.
