I had four days left before the poison consumed my organs entirely. All I wanted was to spend whatever time I had left with the woman I loved, but I could not reach her. The next day, I learned that Enzo Marchetti, the first love she had never forgotten, had returned from overseas. "Let's get divorced. The love of my life is back." I clutched my chest as a searing pain tore through it. "I'm at the family hospital. I've been poisoned. The doctors won't let me leave.” Her voice turned sharp and cruel. "I don't care if you're poisoned or dying. Even if you drop dead the next second, you need to come back and sign the papers." The last trace of warmth inside me went cold. I answered calmly,

“We can’t track them. They strike, vanish, leave nothing but fire behind.” Dante paced the length of the room, rage coiled tight inside him. “Every ghost has a grave. I’ll find theirs.” Amara’s gaze lingered on the reports, her sharp mind piecing together threads others missed. “No grave,” she murmured. “Ashes don’t bury. They spread.” Dante stilled, turning to her. “What are you saying?”

Half-buried in weeds. I turned, walked back to the car, and popped the trunk. A sledgehammer sat inside. Gift from a renovation company. Ribbon still tied on. Bright. Almost a joke. I grabbed it, walked back, and stopped in front of the headstone. Taking a breath, I tightened my grip around the cold metal. Then I swung. All in. Smashed it down. Crash. The sound ripped through the empty grounds. Bang. Again. And again. Until it was nothing but broken rubble.

Ghost moved quickly, eyes locked on me like I was the problem. I backed away, heart still pounding. My throat still burned from the note. But I didn’t look away. He was awake. Angry. Alive. We stared at each other. Both of us were trembling for different reasons. “Call Pietro,” he said suddenly. Ghost turned. “What?” “I want to know what he has found digging up everything on that cemetery. I want names. Records. Visitors. Hell, even from the past year.” Ghost paused. “Yes, Boss?”

He stood straight with a serious face as he began his explanation. "Ghosts are the souls of dead humans who... well, aren't ready to rest in peace. They don't have powers. All they can do is move from one place to another without being seen. Well, not by everyone though." "But... if you're a demon, why then are you in this form?" She couldn't help but ask.

The moon hung low in the sky, casting a silvery glow over the tombstones that loomed like silent sentinels in the night. As we approached the sorceress's grave, a cold wind whipped through the graveyard, carrying with it a mournful wail that made my blood run cold. My mother lit a torch to ward off the encroaching darkness as we began to dig, our hearts heavy with the knowledge of what we might unleash. The earth gave way beneath our shovels, revealing the weathered coffin that held the remains of the sorceress. With a solemn determination, my father raised his sword high and brought it down upon the lid, shattering it with a resounding crack.

the figure said. They looked. Beneath the cracks in the earth, something was moving. Something massive. Something that hadn't seen the light of day in thousands of years. "It's not a drone," Richard whispered, his face turning grey. "No," Joshua said. "It’s a Gravekeeper." The first Gravekeeper clawed its way out of the earth, its metal limbs grinding against the stone. It stood ten feet tall, its eyes burning with a cold, blue fire that made the drones look like candles.

The tombstone glowed faintly in the dark soil. Vincent staggered back, his claws scraping against the stone. His name was etched into the granite—Vincent Fox. A growl tore from his throat. "No..." he gasped for breath. "No!" The ground beneath him rumbled as if something buried deep wanted to break free. From the shadows, the ghost’s whisper slid through the air: “She buried you with her. The grave doesn’t belong to her anymore; It belongs to you.”

Kirin taunted. In the aether, another bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, followed by a heavy downpour. Looking as hideous as the devil, Kirin took out a camera and pointed it at Lydia’s grave before him. “Dig… Start digging. Dig Lydia Alroy out for me. I want to flog her corpse. Hahahaha!” Kirin’s hideous laugh rang throughout Summers Cemetery. The group of men began to dig the grave with a variety of tools. These men were all grave robbers that Draken Willow had employed. They knew best how to dig up graves.
