 * Christine: Previously on LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow...

A lesser demon standing at the door of an enormous hall, greeting the return of Crow Faux, one of the main leaders of the Zodiac Demon Army under the command of Twelve Nethers, who are high-classed Zodiac Demons working secretly for Moloch and overlook their human puppets.
 * Lesser Demon: Lord Wiseman is not here yet, Lord Crow Faux. Neither is Mr. Hubert.
 * Crow: Never mind. I want to talk to that lady... I would like to have a talk with Nether Kaysie the Demon Princess.

''Being a handsome young man with an appearance of thirties, Crow Faux is a tall and pale man with mostly black hair. Some of his hair were white as silver. He was wearing black coat that was covered in black feathers, and his face was cold as stone.''

''Among all of his physical appearance, his eyes were the most distinguish feature on his face. Under this occasion where he could not calm himself, Crow's eyes were black, but its pupil occasionally flashed white light.'' ''The Hexenmeister Community had a strange new leader very recently, not long before the assault against Arendelle committed by Blackheart. Crow Faux had been overlooking the mysterious leader while lurking inside the Hexenmeister Community.''
 * Ezio.Auditore.Da.Firenze.full.833527.jpg: Lord Wiseman had letters from Sleepy Hollow. He said he had something to inform the Nethers ... about the Leader of Hexenmeister Community.

In other words, ' Crow is exactly the mysterious spy that hid himself amongst the HC Council. ' The lesser zodiac demon nodded his head and opened the door for Crow. As the door opened, Crow swiftly walked into the hall and walked all the way towards the center.
 * Crow: Is Nether Kaysie at the base?
 * Zodiac Demon: Yes, she is.



''There were twelve seats at the middle of the hall, surrounding a round table. A woman with dark hair was sitting on one of the chairs. The other eleven chairs were empty due to various reasons.'' ''The lesser demon walked to Kaysie and stood beside her seat. Kaysie then turned her Seat of Virgo before looking at the face of Crow with a devious smile.''
 * Lesser demon: My lady, Lord Crow asks if he can see you at this moment. He has important information to tell.



''Nether Kaysie Virgo, the only daughter of Moloch was wearing black nightgown. She was holding a large golden sting in her left hand. It was her poisonous stings.'' Letting out a dark chuckle, Kaysie smiled in a devious manner, which made Crow a little bit nervous. ''With a sigh, Crow regained his composure and walked closer to the Demon Princess with a serious face. Kaysie widened her eyes with curiousity as if she already figured out what Crow was about to say.'' ''Kaysie's word had stalled the pace of Crow. Hearing this with pure shock, Crow immediately stopped walking. He then bit his lips and nodded. He knew what Kaysie could capable of, and he was always scared of it.''
 * Kaysie: Ufufufufu...
 * Kaysie: Well, well, well, it looks like our spy in the Hexenmeisters returns much faster than  our two spies in the Order of Flourish . So, what's the matter, Crow?
 * Kaysie: You want to tell me about the new leader of Hexenmeister Community, am I right?



Being the only female member of the Twelve Nethers of Zodiac Demons, Kaysie has an ability to look through some part of the future, though she could only see the results of some actions, and yet she could not figure the out the complete progress. ''Crow nodded in sheer frustration. He then opened his palm before summoning a red crystal. The crystal itself floated inside his palm. He spoke out the words slowly and clearly.'' ​Kaysie nodded when Crow continued to make his own report, listening to him patiently. ''​Kaysie frowned her eyebrows as Crow continued. It was apparent that she was distraught by the coming situation.'' ''After he finished his words, Crow then pointed at the red glowing crystal inside his hand. Inside his hand, lied one of the Crystals of Nethers. The Crystals of Nethers are 12 power crystals of the Twelve Nethers that belonged to each of the Twelve Nethers.''
 * Crow: Yes, milady.
 * Crow: Emma Swan discovered the existence of the spy inside them, although they never had made it to discover my identity. That leader began to suspect that there was a spy and tried to find and eliminate the spy, who is me.
 * Crow: However, the point is, there seems to be a conflict between Ms. Swan and the enigmatic leader, and the latter called the Hexenmeister back to stop an assault from Mephisto. Those Hexenmeisters are suppose to fight against Christine Van Bilj.
 * Crow: My lady, our plan faces a sudden stall, and I guess it is the time for me to use the crystal of Nether Gleodon.



''Kaysie was shocked to hear Crow spoke the words, since it confirmed her greatest fear. She had such a feeling once she saw Crow revealed the power crystal on his palm.''
 * Kaysie: The Crystal of Gleodon...

Someone who was chosen by a Nether to become a host could use the crystal to fuse with the said Nether, but the host must be strong enough to fuse with the Nether, otherwise they would have their soul devoured and the Nether controlling them would go berserk, losing control on their power completely.

''In Crow's case, he had the Crystal of Gleodon. Gleodon, also known as Gleodon Aquarius, is the wrathful Nether of Aquarius with a violent temper. Crow was granted the Crystal of Gleodon by Zodiac Demons, but he was yet to fuse himself with it.'' ''​Kaysie shook her head with a worried face. She had fake a smile in order to hide her distraught. It was no joke when Crow claimed he would use the Crystal of Gleodon.'' Looking at Crow's face which started to turn more relived due to the demon lady's assuring, ​Kaysie paused, but soon she continued. With an honest face, Kaysie then stood up from her chair and walked towards Crow in a smiling face, talking in a calm and polite manner. ''Being one of the archenemies of the Hexenmeisters, the Wild Card was an crime organization led by Hubert Zodiak and was loyal to Moloch, being firstly mentioned in LOTM: Crossover - The Corbin Files - Chapitre Dix. The Hexenmeisters thought that Hubert founded the organization and was after the legendary Shard of Anubis.''
 * D5451556798.jpgKaysie: I try not. That would be too dangerous. I need you as a human, not as a cannon fodder.
 * Kaysie: The Crystals are last resorts. Unlike my brothers, I am not going to give my power crystal to anyone, not now. I know how dangerous it could be. Besides, those stupid and worthless Hexenmeisters just suspected you, but I don't think they will discover you.
 * Kaysie: You spied into those sections of the Hexenmeister Community as a mere soldier. That false identity makes perfect undercover for you to go on with your plan without being discovered. Those fools could only chase a rumor.
 * Kaysie: Crow, you are the best member of the Wild Card, even better than your leader and adoptive father, Hubert Zodiac. I know why you hate him. He is just a weak and worthless puppet, but you are not, Crow. You are an elite, and I can see why my father trusts you so much.

''They were wrong, dead wrong, about the Wild Card. It was, in fact, founded by  Kaysie Virgo herself, with Hubert Zodiak as its puppet. Hubert was not the real leader at all. As for Crow Faux, he was once the right hand of Hubert as well as being the latter's adoptive son, but Crow later became the most notable and powerful of the Wild Card agents. He even founded another sub-faction to serve the Zodiac Demons.''

''Hearing Kaysie's words, Crow calmed himself down. His eyes turned into more humane like eyes with red pupils. Crow then make his crystal dissappeared from his hand, but not before turning it in a shape of heart.'' ''Crow joked about his reckless move, and Kaysie was not bothered by it at all. Despite being the daughter of Moloch, Kaysie could be very friendly to her allies and would not always punish them for their failure or bad ideas.'' ''Hearing the name Lord Helio, Crow immediately looked down on the ground with a sigh. Kaysie's smile faded away when she saw Crow behaved like this.'' Crow sighed and nodded in sadness.
 * Crow: Sorry, My Lady, I just want to play some magic tricks.
 * Kaysie: By the way, I heard from our spy in Order of Flourish that Selina Strawberry had made her move as well. The Light Lord, also known as Lord Helio, was behind her actions.
 * Kaysie: You seemed to know him, Crow.
 * Crow: Yes, I know him. I know him well.

' - Crow: It was I who made him into the Light Lord, albeit indirectly. '

However, Crow then returned back to his calm and cold personality after this brief sadness. ''Kaysie then looked at Crow with a poker face. She immediately corrected him in something he had just mistaken in his words.''
 * Crow: Did the spy in the OF dig out the info from Nevins? How did he do this? 
 * Kaysie: Wait a minute, Crow.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Kaysie: That spy is a "she". '

''Crow heard this and lowered his head, and then a face started to surface inside his head. It was a woman with long grey hair, yellow eyes and a pair of lips as black as coal. Something which he had been suspecting had came true.'' ''Crow then took a deep breath and calmed himself down once again. He then narrowed his eyes and looked at Kaysie.'' ''Crow did not continue his words after seeing Kaysie's face. The face of Kaysie turned more malicious as she looked at Crow face to face. Her smile turned more malicious as well.'' While talking, ​Kaysie then turned back and sat back on the Seat of Virgo, with her face turned back to seriousness once again. ''Crow was still suspicious on that gray-haired woman, even with Kaysie's assuring that the woman was possessed by a Zodiac Demon. Crow even had a feeling that it was not the Zodiac Demon who was controlling the woman. Instead, he felt that the gray-haired woman was in fact controlling the demon inside her with her free will.  However, he had no time to speak out his own opinion. The time grew short.''
 * Crow: No way... It is really her...
 * Crow: I don't trust her, My Lady, and I don't trust that mysterious Wiseman either. I do not know what ever that man named Wiseman is, despite this  I have a feelings of meeting him before. I am not sure... 
 * 54857438_p0_master1200.jpge: Sorry, Crow, but this is none of your business. That spy had turned into the host of a Zodiac Demon, and I guess she will have no free will to fight against us any longer.
 * Kaysie: Your own business is to drive more people into despair and force them into Zodiac Demons, specifically those who had magic abilities after the Feast of Apollo, that event which had made almost everything in the town different from before.

With no space for him to start an objection, Crow then nodded and bowed in front of Kaysie in a gracious manner, much to Kaysie's satisfaction.

''Sister Mary Eunice stood in front of the Dutch Chapel where the late Reverend Alfred Knapp lived, with Abbie on her side. The chapel once belonged to Knapp until the Headless Horseman had chopped his head off, killing him.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice turned back and walked towards the street like a normal person going out for a walk. Abbie was following her.'' ​Sister Mary Eunice took a peek at the church again. ''Sister Mary Eunice then looked at the sun above the sky before she looked straight at the Archives not far away and sighed in helplessness, thinking that the body of Betsy Ross had been taken by Atticus Nevins. She also thought about that mysterious woman with blood red hood, wondering the reason behind her alliance...'' ''Abbie's words made Sister Mary Eunice left her own thoughts. She looked at Abbie with distress.'' Hearing Abbie's words, Sister Mary Eunice then frowned her brows when she thought about Betsy Ross.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Detective Morales has left the hospital, right?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: The Horseman of Death made this place seemed cold and harsh. I need to take care of here.
 * Abbie: Really?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Yes, we need more bases. We can't always let the church empty. Also, since I am in the town, I don't need to always live inside a mirror.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Therefore, finding a place so close to the Archive will be more convenient if you look for my help.
 * Abbie: Sister?
 * Hungary.full.1827132.jpgSister Mary Eunice: Ms. Mills, remember the last battle we had participate against those evil that haunted this town? Turned out that the winner was the archenemy of your sheriff.
 * Abbie: Sister, I am sorry to say so, but I guess we are going to find out what Corbin was hiding before we head back to chase Nevins.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I had once fought against Nevins alongside your sheriff. He was a dangerous man, and I guess he took the body of Betsy for some unknown purpose.
 * Abbie: Yes, I know, but I don't think it will serve a purpose. Nevins would get nothing from Betsy's body.

''​Sister Mary Eunice and Abbie walked all the way on the pavement, unknowing they have reached a block near the Police Department. Sister Mary Eunice's face was calm and patient.'' Sister Mary Eunice then stopped and turned back to take a look at the chapel.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: As we both know, Betsy Ross had the blood of Christine inside her body, and maybe that was why Nevins took Betsy's corpse. It is never hard to imagine what would Nevins plan with the body of Betsy.
 * Abraham_Van_Brunt.pngSister Mary Eunice: Besides, the Horseman...

''It was like as if she saw the bloody slaughter of the Horseman come once again. August Corbin and Reverend Knapp are both its victim, and the murder incidents were manipulated by Michael Langdon, who went missing but was confirmed to still be alive.'' ''Abbie then thought for a while. It was apparent that Abbie still do not understand how dangerous this current situation was.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: We must race against time to fight against those evil enemies, and we don't know when will the Horseman will strike again in this town full of dark secrets.
 * Abbie_and_Icky.pngAbbie: Hmm, I see.

However, it could be justified since the Team Witness had quite a hard time dealing with the problem caused by Christine, and Abbie didn't want the things gone wild like that in their previous battle, so she preferred to take it slow.
 * Abbie: Very well, Sister, but I guess we should take it slow.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Moloch's lair 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 day after Christine's death 

''Standing in Moloch's lair, Atticus Nevins watched the face of a young Ichabod in a mirror with a cold and harsh face, staring into the eyes of Ichabod. Nevins did not speak a word, only watching what the young Ichabod Crane had saw and felt.'' ''Nevin's interest was suddenly interrupted when a voice came from behind. Nevins turned back and saw a woman figure in Purgatory. That was a tall woman with pale skin and grey hair, with her eyes glowing in yellow. She was wearing a large hat.'' ''Nevins then turned to the mysterious woman, who looked at him with her eyes like leopards. She was wearing her black lipstick in a carefree attitude.'' Nevins looked at the grey-haired woman with sheer disdain, and vice versa. ''The grey-haired woman walked further with full of arrogance, and she had her face covered fully in grey shadows. Nevins stood still and shook his head.'' ''The grey-haired woman looked at him with a horrid expression of scoff on her face, but Nevins never cared about it. He then went to the table in front of him and picked up the blade. He then went to the woman before handing the knife to her.'' ''Getting the blade from Nevins, the grey-haired lady then sighed and looked at Nevins in anger. She slowly walked back before an evil smile appeared on her face.'' The woman then slowly turned back and disappeared in a mist with the mist, but not before she made her final announcement all the while looking at Nevins' cold and harsh face. ''The mysterious woman disappeared, but Nevins was not caring what the woman was planning. Maybe she planned nothing at all but her desire to join Moloch's force, but the further intention of hers is unknown. For now, Nevins had to do his own work.''
 * ???: To be honest, I don't feel like you had the blood of Van Bilj in Lord Moloch's possession, Mr. Nevins. I want to clarify this.
 * Sae_Shadow.pngNevins: What are you doing here? I did not ask for your opinion.
 * ???: Rumors said that little wench whose name was Selina Strawberry play a key role upon the death of Christine, and I am here to confirm it, alongside the rumors of your containment of Van Bilj blood.
 * ???: I want the truth, now. Otherwise, you won't expect me to help you further after this task. Our partnership shall be over.
 * 303ByzantineParang.pngNevins: So, forcing the answer out? Is that what you did when you prosecuted your poor defendant?
 * Nevins: I have my own work to do, and I will tell you later. You came here without permission. You should leave before Lord Moloch and those Twelve Nethers find you, or you will die by their hands. Here, the knife you requested.
 * ShadowSae1.gif???: You...
 * Nevins: Rumor has that Michael Langdon was using the same knife in another timeline, and I hope you will use it properly to collect more souls for our Master. 
 * Atticus_Nevins-SHS3.png???: That sounds like a perfect threat. Do not expect I will bow down in fear because of this petty threat, though.
 * ???: I will call you after our task is over, and I will tell you where and when we shall meet. I will sign up to join you in secret. Don't be late.
 * Nevins: Suit yourself.

''​A green-haired young man, with a blade in his hand, was looking at a shadow figure behind the curtain. He was talking to the figure about someone named Phyllis Peach.''
 * Uguisumaru.full.2150159.pngYoung man: Lady Phyllis Peach had been missing for several hours, Light Lord. The last time I saw her, she said she was going to investigate about the agents of the Twelve Zodiac Nethers, but I suspect she was on about her own agenda.

''The figure was blurry, and then he spoke. He spoke in a strange voice, sometimes like a low-pitched female voice, and yet sometimes rather like a high-pitched male voice. The only thing was sure that he was referred as the Light Lord.'' ​''As if it was a sign of announcement, the door opened, and a tall and slender woman walked in, dressed up in red hood and stood beside the green-haired young man, revealing herself. She was none other than Selina Strawberry. She was much taller than the green-haired young man, but he seemed not to be bothered at all.''
 * Light Lord: Well, Phyllis may be suspicious, but she is rather unique, so I will like to let her do what she like. She never have any conventional thinking. She is different from you people. In my mind, she is much more creative and flexible even than Selina.
 * Selina: Please don't compare me with that woman. She is a crazy one.

''Unlike her previous appearance, Selina did not wear her eye-patch this time, and her eyes were glowing in red. Her expression seemed more menacing. The Light Lord was not bothered by this, though.'' Selina clenched her fist tight in her pockets, and her eyes were full of fire of fury. Selina showed great hatred to the person named Phyllis that the Light Lord was on about, and the green-haired man turned to Selina, speaking to her in a soften tone and a warm smile. The Light Lord himself did not try to answer Selina's wrathful doubt, as his shadow faded away from the curtain, leaving the green-haired man to speak about the situation.
 * Light Lord: Ah, Selina, we are just talking about you... and your adversary in this Order.
 * Selina: I know quite well who you are talking about, Father, and I know I will defend you if you are in any trouble, but using that wicked prosecutor Phyllis as a member in our Order? I am not fancy this idea, at all. I do not know about her past, but I assume she is now planning awful things.
 * ​???: The Light Lord used Phyllis, indeed, but he never said that he don't need someone so warm-hearted and selfless like you. There is no need to be jealous.

''A moment later, Selina seemed calmed down. Her face did not seemed that menacing, and her tones became softer as well, but still no smile appeared on her face. She spoke to the green-haired man in a calm tone.''


 * Selina: I am not meant to be jealous, Albert, but I guess there is something wrong with Phyllis, something within her was not right.
 * Albert: Like what?
 * Selina: For example, she forced Gregory to chop off your hand due to someone's incrimination. From that day on, I made a vow never to befriend her again!

''The green-haired man named Albert shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, in a troubling expression. This man named Albert Anderson, and referred by his alias as Albert Apple, is the third in command in the Order of Flourish, and how is also a right-hand to Selina.''

Not being a pun to his identity to Selina, Albert's own right hand was being a prosthetic one, albeit made of magic, since he lost his right hand many years ago, due to Gregory Grape, one of his colleagues, removed Albert's right hand under Phyllis' order.

''It was because Albert was framed by someone to steal a jewel from the Light Lord, and he received such a wrongful punishment, even Selina came to defend him. Albert was later traumatized by the event, which later made him depressed - yet he often hid his depression with humorous facade.'' ''Selina clenched her arm with her gloved left hand and bit her lips with a sigh. She closed her eyes and phewed in a very troubling face. The Feast of Apollo was an attempt to bring back Lady Hestia Hawthorn, the late adoptive daughter of the Light Lord who was murdered by someone else, using an artifact named the Stone of Wisdom.''
 * Uguisumaru.full.1980894.jpgAlbert: I am fine, but I will come over with it. This woman was dangerous, indeed, but that was happening after the Feast of Apollo... and the murder of Lady Hestia Hawthorn before that. That was the true reason that drove everything wrong... including our own mind. Do you have a feeling that we are different from before?

''The Feast failed, however, and the consequence were horrendous. Many citizens volunteered to witness and support the Feast became people with potential magician abilities, while many members of the Order (apart from a few special cases) were affected by its side effect, either being driven to their respective dark side or had their wicked personality turned outright and worsen.''
 * Selina: Maybe, but the change in the Order was the consequence of the failed Feast. Nevertheless, I think another Feast of Apollo will make things right, since it will be accompanied by my Dawn's Early Light which will be put into use and cleanse the townspeople from depression.

''​Albert put his hand on his chin, thinking about the last Feast of Apollo held by the mysterious Light Lord. Since there was no one else beside them, the duo can talk about the Feast of Apollo for now.'' ''​However, unlike Albert, Selina soon smiled in a confident manner. Albert was talking about troubling facts, but Selina seemed confident to remedy all of those trials and tribulations.'' The words of Selina that put trust on Ichabod and Abbie, the Two Witness, made Albert confused, but he soon widened his eyes and nodded. ''​Selina sighed and smiled. She liked Ichabod's own personality and her assistance to him was sincere and heartfelt, but Ichabod did not know that Selina wanted him to serve a greater purpose - make Sleepy Hollow back to its normal state.'' ''Selina was one of the people who had their dark side take over her due to the Feast of Apollo, an event that changed everything in Sleepy Hollow, but Selina did trying not to succumb to her dark side. She tried to revert anything back to normal in her own way, including her dark personality, and she was partly aware that some of her colleagues were on their wrong way.​''
 * Albert: Hmm, the last Feast caused so much people becoming enhanced with magical abilities - people we know as Shines - and also made benefits for Moloch's Twelve Nethers and their puppets, including Hubert Zodiak, Crow Faux and another mysterious man know as the Wicker Wiseman.
 * Selina: However, the Order will go on its right way as it always should be, and I believe the Team Witness will help us in the second Feast of Apollo, an act that will help the Order and the town of Sleepy Hollow to go on a right way. That shall be the time we redeem ourselves and be happy once again.
 * Albert: You want to help the Two Witnesses so that they can become the Light Lord's tool to open the next Feast of Apollo?
 * The_Sabbath_begins.jpgSelina: Tools? Well, I see them as true friends, not tools, but I will keep my eyes on them. I think they will agree with the Light Lord's plan... to make Sleepy Hollow peaceful again.



''However, Selina herself did not know that the way what she chose - organizing the second Feast of Apollo - was also a wrong way. The reason of this would be explained later.'' ''Selina then turned back and started to walk out of the door. Her face soon turned darker, revealing her inner dark side that was currently taking control of her mind.'' Feeling panicked by her sudden personality switch, Selina fled out of the door with a grayish face, leaving Albert alone in the room.
 * Selina: The Witnesses are the only hope to defeat Moloch and save the town of Sleepy Hollow. I will do anything... ANYTHING to wipe demonic influence that plagued the town since the birth of our foundation. Now, the Mayor wanted me to investigate the entire case, but I did it not for him and not for my salary. It was for all of us, for our safety. Therefore, please never judge me like that.
 * Selina: However, even if the Witness turned against the Light Lord, I will not kill them for not assisting the second Feast of Apollo, either. Because at that time, I will capture them and make them assist us... Oh, my, what am I saying?

''Ichabod searched in the files of the late Sheriff Corbin to look through the case concerned the horrid event that he met when he was younger. He found three books from the Archives, and then he took the book and walked towards his chair. He took the trench coat of his on the chair, wore it and went to the door with the books.''
 * 64009383_p0.pngod: That one... That... That one...

''Suddenly, when he opened the door, he knocked himself into a woman who was as tall as him. The woman let out an "Aw" and avoid hitting Ichabod, who looked at her with his eyes widened.''

''The woman was wearing red hood and coat, with a basket on her elbow, similar to the Little Red Riding Hood in Grimm Brothers' Tales. She let out an endearing grin to Ichabod due to embarrassment.'' ''Ichabod immediately recognized the woman. It was Selina, whom he just met a few days ago. Selina lowed down her head and laughed a bit joyfully. Ichabod immediately helped her with the basket. He took the basket from Selina politely and placed it on the table, while feeling surprised for her sudden arrival.'' ''Ichabod was about to finish, but he immediately widened his gaze in shock and had to sigh in disappointment. Selina looked at Ichabod with her face pale as paper.'' ​Selina immediately opened her palms and waved them in a rapid speed. ''Selina was telling the truth. She did met Abbie before and they talked about Ichabod. Ichabod heard this and was confused. Even so, he was relieved since even the police captain here held interest on what he had experienced, as well as what was happening inside the town. Selina then thought for a moment before she spoke something which might make Ichabod convinced.'' Ichabod felt appreciated with Selina's words, but he still look at her in a serious face. ''Selina was right. The aforementioned Albert Apple, known as his true name as Albert Anderson in public, was a member of senate subcommittee on immigration in public's eyes. It was an advantage for Ichabod who was not American himself and had to undergo a false identity as an immigrate. Finally, Ichabod was delighted and accepted the offer.'' ''Feeling being needed, Selina chuckled in delight and smiled at Ichabod. One of her happiest moments was none other than the moment when her offering was accepted. She then gave Ichabod her name card.'' ''Ichabod was glad to hear that and nodded. He recently had been learning how to use telephone and cell phone, and he thought at least calling someone or receiving a call via telephone would no longer be a problem for him.''
 * Selina: Mr. Crane.
 * Ichabod: Ms. Sarandon?
 * Ichabod: Uh, this is a surprise. What brings you to...
 * Ichabod: Oh, no, no, don't tell me... The so-called police department and your mayor in this town still place me under observation? This will not stand.
 * [[File:Ichabod-Crane-Screencaps-ichabod-crane-sleepy-hollow-tv-series-35761154-500-281.jpg|thumb|340px]]Selina: Oh, no, no, it's not about that. It's Lt. Mills. She told me about your current situation, and I am hoping to take care of you until you get free. Captain Irving wants more information about the secrets in the town. I alone cannot explain, and only you can convince Irving by yourself, Mr. Crane.
 * 217Katrina.pngSelina: I know you have a wife, Mr. Crane. I can help you find her, and you will make Irving to join us. Together, we can get Sleepy Hollow away from the darkness that haunts it since so many years ago. It was all because of a horrid murder... and a subsequent ritual which changed everything. Help us and we will make things right.
 * Uguisumaru.full.1988583.jpgSelina: Look, I'm not a lawyer, but if you'll let me, I'd like to help you be one of many inside this town, like a family to us.
 * Ichabod: Ms. Sarandon, that is most kind of you, but I could not possibly impose on your generosity.
 * Selina: I have a friend named Albert who is a member of senate subcommittee on immigration.
 * Ichabod: I would be honored to accept your assistance.
 * Selina: Here is my name card. When I had some news to tell you, I'll call you?
 * Washington_Crossing_the_Delaware_by_Emanuel_Leutze,_MMA-NYC,_1851.jpgIchabod: I look forward to it.

''Selina smiled and nodded before she promptly went away. Ichabod felt that the woman who was talking to him was far from being simple. No matter what her purpose was, she really needed his assistance and vice versa.''

''Ichabod then took his books and looked at the painting's copy above his head, showing the scene of Washington crossing Delaware. Ichabod sighed and made a joke.'' Ichabod then swiftly went out of the room with his books and his trench coat.
 * Ichabod: Oh, please... As if Adams would have done any different.

''​Meanwhile, Abbie drove her car on the streets and was accompanied by Ichabod. Ichabod was looking at his new cell phone which he had yet to master it.''

''Ever since the previous defeat of Michael Langdon, Abbie have been instructing Ichabod how to use a cell phone. Ichabod had yet to master it since he only use a cell phone in less than a week. However, Ichabod could still know how to read a message. Now, he had received a message from Police Detective Rudy Chandler.'' ''Ichabod was still learning how to type a message via cell phone, and typing too much will make him unnerved. In spite of this, Ichabod managed to sent the message to Det. Chandler successfully.'' ''After putting his cell phone back to his pocket, Ichabod took two small syringes out from his pocket. The syringes were filled in dark red blood... obviously tainted by some kind of disease.'' Ichabod then looked aside and lifted a large musket beside him. ''While he was talking, Ichabod filled one of the syringes into the musket. Those syringes were in size of bullets, and could be easily loaded.'' ''Ichabod then prepared for the gun and looked ahead. Abbie remained silent. Ichabod looked at Abbie and let out a sigh. His face turned more serious, having a bit of sadness.'' Ichabod then clenched his fist and narrowed his eyes.
 * Ichabod: Message from Detective Chandler. As requested, Ms. Kates is safely under his protection.
 * Abbie: Good. Text him back, and ask him if there's any sign of trouble. We need to know where Nelson is. We start by eliminating the places he isn't.
 * Ichabod: Sending.
 * Ichabod: As we have a limited supply of tainted blood, I have but two chances to stop the Ripper.
 * Ichabod: Assuming if I have time to reload.
 * Abbie: I thought you were supposed to be hot stuff with a musket.
 * Ichabod: I was always a little better with a flintlock pistol than a Brown Bess.
 * IMG_7549.pngIchabod: But I promise you... I shall not miss.
 * Ichabod: It would seem you and I have even more in common, lieutenant. We both witnessed evil at a young age. Even as a boy, I was destined to cross paths with dark forces... and to lose those for whom I most care.

''Ichabod felt the world was collapsing beside him. Feeling unable to take it anymore, Ichabod lied on the ground and started to trembling. In a zig-zag way, feelings of scorch and freezing came from his body one time after another. That was just the symptom of Malaria. Abbie had just made Emily escape from Nelson, and when she saw Ichabod, she found him struggling in pain and injury.'' ''Abbie immediately crouched in front of Ichabod and put his head on her knee, feeling desperate for his condition. The feeling of losing another partner had came into her mind once again.'' ''Ichabod started to mumble something unclearly. Abbie looked at Ichabod in the eyes, feeling desperate upon his current situation. She kept shaking the head of Ichabod.''
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_36_23--20170917-083904-3-.pngAbbie: Crane!
 * Abbie: It's all right. An ambulance is on the way.
 * Abbie: Stay with me. Stay with me, okay? Crane... Crane!



<p style="text-align:center;"> '- ???: Tell me. How does it feel?'

''Abbie heard the voice and immediately turned back in shock. She heard a strange female voice coming from behind. It somehow cause chill on her spines. Abbie turned back and looked at the person behind her. It was a tall gray-haired woman with large hat and dressed in black dress. She grinned at Abbie with a slasher smile like some kind of evil clown from horror fictions.''

Unbeknownst to Abbie, this gray-haired woman was the one who gave Nelson the blade and corrupted him into an insane and psychopathic killer. ''Abbie's mind immediately flashed back into the night when Corbin was killed by the Headless Horseman, which would traumatize her entire life. Abbie glared at the gray-haired woman, wondering who she was.''
 * ???: To know that his life is slipping away through your fingers. To know that you're alone once again... ever since the death of your sheriff.

Then, Abbie turned back to Ichabod to comfort him as the woman continued her threats. ''Abbie then turned back to look at that mysterious gray-haired woman once again. However, that woman had disappeared. Abbie only saw an unconscious Nelson lying on the floor.''
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_36_44--20170917-085052-4-.png???: Alone in this fight of yours, alone in this world.

''The possessed blade which lost its power was lying right beside him. Abbie then looked back on Ichabod.''
 * Abbie: Stay with me, okay?

''Ichabod had survived the entire ordeal and was weakly lying on the couch. His hand was attached to a medicine flask. Someone had treated him with an intravenous drip treatment. Sister Mary Eunice stood beside Ichabod and looked at his condition getting better. She sighed in relief.'' ''A tall woman dressed in red maid outfit was standing not far away, cleaning the stain on the floor in a rapid speed. She held a large broom in her hand while looking at the unconscious Ichabod with a sigh. It was none other than Selina Strawberry, who had just arrived when Sister Mary Eunice dialed a phone call.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice sighed in relief. So far, she did not tell Selina that she already knew that she was the one who helped the Team Witness when they confronted Christine in the Mirror World, in order to avoid further embarrassment.'' ''Selina cleaned the entire floor. The wooden floor of the Archives was shining like gold, and Sister Mary Eunice was amazed to see all this. She then look at the watch in her hand with a face of shock.'' ''Selina had cleaned everything in the vast room of Archives in just 15 minutes, cleaning every traces of stains and dust before putting all of the files in proper order. Selina swept the sweat on her head with a look of relief.'' ''Selina then turned to look at a box on the table. The accursed Byzantine Parang was right inside the box. Then, Selina put the box and locked it inside another large box that was sealing files inside it.'' ''Already arriving back at the Archives, Abbie sat beside Sister Mary Eunice and Ichabod without saying a single word. Just then, Abbie noticed that Ichabod's eyelash started to shake, and she looked at Ichabod before putting the book on the table.'' ''Abbie was referring to the sedative that the doctor injected into Ichabod. Ichabod had somehow survived the ordeal coming form such a deadly disease like malaria. Sister Mary Eunice and Selina were both pleased to see Ichabod awaken and survived, feeling relieved.'' ''Ichabod looked at all three people beside him. He raised his index finger as if he had nothing to worry about it.'' ''All three women had realized what happened at once. Abbie smiled and leaned forward a bit to Ichabod. She then looked at him with a more serious look.'' ''Selina suddenly reacted in shock when she heard the phrase, "a gray-haired woman". Horrified, Selina started to stumble back and held the chest of herself. Sister Mary Eunice and Ichabod immediately found something went wrong.'' ''Selina bit her lips in fury. She immediately calmed herself down.'' ''Abbie shook her head. She could not understand why Selina had such a reaction.'' ''Selina then stood up and left. Ichabod, Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice then continued their discuss on this case. It was very apparent that this seemly simple murder was connected to another great conspiracy.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I am glad that Ichabod had your name card, Ms. Sarandon, so that I can contact you to make you help in such a reckless mess.
 * Selina: With pleasure, Sister. It seems like my fame proceeds me that even someone like you, who had just arrived in this town in less than three months had know about this situation. August Corbin is a friend of mine, and so is Reverend Knapp. Since the man who was connected to them was in trouble, I cannot stood by and watch. After all, he is the key to make our town get better.
 * Selina: Now, here we go. How much time do I take?
 * 53537069_p5_master1200.jpgSister Mary Eunice: You cleaned this vast room in only 15 minutes? Impressive.
 * Selina: Good, I like such a winter holiday.
 * Selina: That will keep it safe as long as no one in the enemy's side get into this place and find it. I will keep this as a secret. I promise.
 * 【mjt100.com】Sle-00_40_14--20170917-095337-6-.pngIchabod: Lieutenant?
 * Abbie: They got you on some powerful stuff, so take it easy.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Crane, of all the damning and filthy diseases in this world,  you chose to inject yourself with malaria? 
 * Ichabod: For your information, malaria was the patriot's greatest ally during the Siege of Charleston. We had grown a resistance to the disease... whilst the British recruits fell ill by the hundreds.
 * Sae_Shadow.pngIchabod: After you passed out, there was a gray-haired woman had showed up. Judging by her tone, I believe she was the person who drove Nelson into madness.
 * Ichabod: What is it, Ms. Sarandon?
 * ​Selina: I'm fine, Mr. Crane. By the way, Lt. Mills... did she harm you?
 * Abbie: No, she was... more like trying to scare me. Apparently, I made her a list of people to mess with, too. I still don't understand why she did all this. 
 * Selina: I guess she wants to raise fear, and yet she choose the wrong place - Sleepy Hollow. I will keep an eye on her. She might be someone I know, and I will dig out the truth behind all of this mess. I need to go now.

None of then had noticed that Selina left through the secret gate of the Archives that led towards the Munition tunnels. ''Ichabod shook his head and was confused as well. Feeling tired once again, Ichabod lied back to the couch and closed his eyes.'' ''Abbie felt a bit of uneasy when Ichabod mentioned the Witnesses duty once again. Abbie still held fear on her own traumatized childhood and the guilt upon her sister, but she nodded anyway.'' ''After that, Ichabod quickly fell asleep like an baby. Sister Mary Eunice then put a blanket on Ichabod. Looking at Ichabod, Abbie knew that no matter how she viewed her duty as the Witnesses, the life she known and lived before shall perish and be replaced.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Let us assume that she IS the major mastermind behind this serial killing. I was confused. That gray-haired woman wanted to raise fear in the town... for what reason? How does she gain from that?
 * Ichabod: I have no idea... but I am certain we shall uncover the entire plot... and we shall foil it. We are, after all, the Witnesses.
 * Ichabod: I am grateful, lieutenant, that you and I have found one another... once again.

''After leaving the Archives via the secret door, unnoticed by Ichabod, Selina took down her eye-patch. She walked through the long, dense way through the Munition Tunnel. Selina walked into this series of old tunnels with a history of more than 2 centuries. The tunnel stood still even after so many years had past.'' ''A woman's face suddenly appeared in the mind of Selina. It was a woman in suit with a cruel and cold face, hardly ever having any smile on her face as if she was made of pure stone cold face. Selina then narrowed her eyes before she suddenly bit her lips.  Still having doubts inside her mind, Selina shook her head in dismay.'' Selina then disappeared into the dark and deep tunnel without a trace.
 * Selina: (think) * Hmm, this new mission had now accomplished, but is that gray haired woman... *
 * Selina: (think) * No, that woman had  pink  hair, not gray. However, if that gray-haired woman is not her, then why she was missing all the time? *
 * Selina: (think) * Anyway, I must not let my guard down. If I found out the truth behind all of this, I will do whatever that will make this town away from being tainted by selfish scums! *

''The murder spree was over, but the evil was still going on with its plan upon the town of Sleepy Hollow. The mysterious grey-haired woman, whom Abbie just met, had silently sat on her seat, apparently waiting for someone. Now, she had changed into another suit and looked like a lawyer.''

Suddenly, as if she noticed someone coming, her eyes widened and spoke. It was none other than Nevins who stood behind the gray-haired woman, who looked at him with a face full of cold and apathy. ''Eventually, it was revealed to be the parking lot where Nelson was arrested. The police had left the area, and there were only Nevins and the gray-haired woman inside the place.''
 * ???: Oh, finally you're here. After that Crane guy came back from the dead, I had to change myself into a different looking due to insecurity, and I have none other people to trust other than people like you... Mr. Atticus Nevins.
 * 306Atticus.png???: Nice place you chose... inside the place where Nelson Meyers was arrested. I heard from my police spy that Captain Irving was about to take what you caused, seriously.
 * ???: I heard some rumors and now I want to confirm it. Do you have the blood of Christine Van Bilj, Nevins?

''Nevins nodded and finally spoke the entire truth, since she had did what he requested her to do. The Byzantine Parang had served its own purpose... for now.'' The gray-haired woman, who was revealed to be a female prosecutor according to how Nevins addressed her, reacted in sheer surprise and she widened her eyes. The gray-haired woman calmed herself down quickly, and she looked at Nevins after turning her head and faced him face to face. Nevins shrugged his shoulders and smiled as well. ''The grey haired woman widened her eyes even more with sheer curiosity. With excitement, her pink eyes glowed in golden all of a sudden.'' ''Nevins nodded and the gray-haired woman stood up, with a evil smile. Her outfit changed as well, into her outfit when confronting Abbie before. She was now in a revealing black and dark grey dress with a large hat. There was two yellow roses on her hat.'' ''​The woman seemed indifferent. She only clenched her hand on her arm while closing her eyes, acting in a poker face.'' The woman stopped speaking comments on her current dress, and a devious smile appeared on her aroused face. ''​The woman shrugged her shoulder while her smile was still wearing on her face, with a face of malice. Nevins looked at the woman with a face full of sheer bewilderment'' ''​Nevins was surprised to hear the word, the "Stone of Wisdom". He narrowed his eyes and was sweating in shock. Nevins looked at the woman in surprise, unbelieving she had the nerve to take the legendary Stone of Wisdom, a stone that was rumored to be treasured by the Order of Flourish as somehow a holy artifact to worship. Lord Helio knew its deeper secret which many of his followers were completely oblivious from knowing it, not to mention Nevins who never kept in touch with this mysterious Light Lord.''
 * Nevins: Ms. Prosecutor, I not only have her blood but I also have all of the jewels of Van Bilj Family, including their replicas. Our Master will gain immense power from it.
 * ???: Really? I thought it was all a rumor, but I guess I am wrong. Congratulations.
 * Nevins: It was nothing, and as you can see, the plan made between me, you, Lord Moloch as well as that Michael Langdon was far from over.
 * ???: Michael Langdon? I thought he was dead.
 * P5_portrait_of_Shadow_Sae_smiling.pngNevins: You are not the only one who thought he was dead. I realized he survived after I got his message from his future world. I met Selina in the Van Bilj facility which were now fell into ruins. She said she would let Michael pay for his crimes.
 * ???: You mean Michael never gave himself up to his next goal? And you mean you really saw Selina helping the Witnesses? Since the death of Lady Hestia Hawthorn, Lord Helio believed only he could save the world from its fate of being shattered. What a jackass.
 * Zhongfeng.Lee.full.2144725.jpgNevins: This suit was not as good as the pink cultist dress you wore before, and your hair... You dyed it back to gray, which it was your natural born hair color, right?
 * ???: Well, who knows? Maybe you had a bad taste, Mr. Nevins. I returned to public image now and dying in pink hair that Lord Helio requested would be silly.
 * The_Sabbath_begins.jpg???: In fact, Mr. Nevins, I don't give any care on your Master's plan, and I don't care if you take over Sleepy Hollow. However, as long as you can make my own plan get its harvest, that is enough.
 * Nevins: I'll see whatever I can do. However, is that why you called me out? Only to listen to your boasting?
 * U=4022685777,3413115936&fm=27&gp=0.jpg???: That is not boasting. I don't care if Moloch takes over the world, but as long as I can hold this town inside my palm... things will be truly interesting. The Father wants to start a new Feast of Apollo, and I guess it will be a chance for us to get the Stone of Wisdom itself.



In a bizarre manner and reason, the Stone of Wisdom was granted in another alias known as the Withering Mourner, which meant that the stone itself had the power to make the term "withering" disappeared on the earth, and people will only mourn the term of withering whereas the entire world was covered by a forever flourishing society.

''However, it sounded so absurd and unrealistic to Nevins. It was unknown to Nevins how many of the Order of Flourish members were so dedicated to it.''

In order to keep the safety of this stone, the mysterious Light Lord kept the stone was now preserved by a female recluse of the Order who hid away from the mad crowd, and her name was none other than Helene Hawthorn, one of the few people who know the truth behind this stone despite calling it that absurd term of "Withering Mourner".
 * ???: What happened, Mr. Nevins? You seemed surprised.

''To Nevins' surprise, this grey-haired woman attempted to get the Stone of Wisdom from that recluse girl, and that was why she attempted to work with Nevins as well as whoever that was behind him. What she planned to do with the Stone of Wisdom made Nevins curious, though it was obvious she tried to use it in her own plan.'' Distrusting this woman, Nevins looked at her with disdain and annoyance.
 * ???: I have already make up a plan, but it will be a big and long-lasting one. Still, it will not make conflict on your own plan.
 * Nevins: How so?
 * ???: You can take down the Witnesses while I take over the Order. After I got the Stone of Wisdom, Mr. Nevins, I will take down that hypocritical Selina Strawberry... who never admit her dark side... and then I can ask her this question, "Who... controls... Sleepy Hollow... NOW!?" When I got her inside my palm alongside the entire Sleepy Hollow she ran... SHE'LL DIE!

''The grey haired woman opened her hand as if she tried to grab something. She then clenched it into a fist, as if she had crushed the town of Sleepy Hollow inside her hand.'' ​Nevins lowered her head and thought about Selina Strawberry. ​The woman's tone and personality changed in such a drastically way along with her suit, according to Nevins' point of view. ​Then, the woman closed her eyes briefly, as if she was imagining the scene.
 * ???: I'm not Selina. I'm not her. I'm fully aware of Father's corruption and his petty but true allegiance to demon worshipers like you. I bet she won't accept this.
 * Nevins: Maybe you are right. She does live in her own delusions, believing she was good for the many.
 * ShadowSae2.gif???: Like all those fools were. However, she can sacrifice a few when situation needed. I know well about her. To be honest, Selina is like a train conductor driving a train that is out of control. She has to put the unstoppable train on two different rails, but there were people crossing both of the rails.
 * Nevins: I know what you are referring next. One of the two sides had only one kind and ordinary man who crossed the rail, and the other side had a group of five notorious scums, including a bribed cop, a drug dealer, a kidnapper, a mass murderer and a sexual abuser.
 * ???: Indeed. Now, will she sacrifice the need of a few good to save the many who are evil?

​Nevins did not quite understand what the woman was on about, but somehow he felt chill on his spines, thinking about Selina's hidden dark side.
 * Nevins: Hmm, I doubt it. Even so, I guess decide we can use this as an advantage. When we got our respective profits, I guess we shall part our ways. Is that what you want, Ms. Prosecutor?

''The woman nodded when Nevins finished his words. After falling into thoughts, Nevins scoffed at her. He was still feeling unbearable from Christine's own arrogant speeches not long ago, and now he had to face another egotistic woman.'' ''The woman did not get angry. She swayed her arm and grinned at Nevins. However, her face soon turned more and more serious as if her personality could be changed. It suddenly changed from a carefree and arrogant one to a more serious and less talkative one.'' ​The woman opened her eyes, and her eyes were full of fire of evil inside them.
 * Nevins: You have more pride than Christine. You are a megalomaniac.
 * ???: Hmm, never mind. I am not Christine. Christine thought she did for greater good. She is a colossal hypocrite. I'm not like her.
 * ???: I admit what I did is out of criminal minds, in order to take over the Order and turn this world's frown upside down. Pride is my middle name, Mr. Nevins, with the letter P that is recurring in my entire name. That is how and why I find the job of mine... a well-known prosecutor of this town with a perfect record... very interesting with the letter "P".

<p style="text-align:center;"> - ???: After all, my name is Phyllis Pride Parker, also known as Phyllis Peach...



''The woman soon revealed her name and then, with her smile completely faded, she turned back into her full serious expression. Her outfit turned back into her prosecutor uniform, and her eyes turned back to pink. Phyllis then blinked at Nevins, this time in a less arrogant attitude.'' ''Nevins felt unsettling when he saw the woman altered her own personality. At first, she was both prideful, sadistic and megalomaniacal. Next, she turned serious, calm and quiet. It made Nevins unnerved.'' ''Nevins words did not make Phyllis smile. She only looked at him with a cold poker face. Nevins bit his lips and turned more serious look.'' ''Phyllis shook her head. A faint smile surfaced on her face, but it faded immediately.'' Nevins crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. Two seconds later, Phyllis answered before she walked away swiftly, leaving Nevins thinking at his place.
 * Phyllis: Maybe, that is all for now. Maybe it was an overacting. I was too excited.
 * Sae_Harmed_Cut-in.pngNevins: If you want to take over the power of that so-called Light Lord, you can do it yourself. Why do you want to work with us?
 * Nevins: Is there something more... you want from me?
 * Phyllis: You just need to trust me, since this world is going disarray. That's all. In fact, Mr. Nevins, there was one more request I want you to do, not now... You just do it when you have a chance.
 * Nevins: What request?

''Nevins looked at Moloch while speaking in a calm and malicious tone. After that, Nevins stared at the prisoner behind the bars, an injured woman with brown hair and face covered in beehive. It was Christine Van Bilj, now with her soul imprisoned in Purgatory.''
 * 306Atticus.pngs: So, that's pretty much the end of it, Master. The souls of the blade is now trapped in Purgatory. I guess... even if that blade is now in the hands of Crane and was sealed in his base, the fate will lead the bloodshed coming from it once again in future.
 * August_Corbin.pngChristine: ......

Then, Nevins ignored the woman who was also glaring at him, and he turned to Moloch once again. ''Moloch stood not far away from Nevins, and Nevins lowered his head and dared not look at Moloch's face. It was apparent that Moloch was in a very bad mood.'' Moloch scoffed when he started to think about August Corbin.
 * Nevins: For now, Lt. Mills still have no attempt to find her sister inside Tarrytown, and I guess that Corbin hid many things from them.
 * Moloch: [August... Corbin...]

Before Moloch could figure out an idea, Christine behind him smiled in a malicious manner. Enraged, Moloch heard this and turned back to look at his failed minion. ''Christine shook her head and sighed. Her face was now covered in bruises due to the previous battle and the torture of Moloch, but a malicious grin was on her face. It was apparent that she had another conspiracy inside her own mind.'' ''Moloch and Nevins heard Christine's words and was at first confused. However, when Christine said "that thing", Moloch narrowed his eyes deviously.''
 * Moloch: [Since Michael Langdon succeeded to do neither preventing Mills from finding her destiny nor killing her, I need to do something else to make her tormented.]
 * Christine: Why not digging out their darkest secret to torment them, Master?
 * Moloch: [You failed my mission, Christine, and you made an epic fail. Why should I ask for your idea?]
 * Hungary.full.1969024.jpgChristine: My death is only a start. Although I never expected that I was going to be killed in my previous battle, it is still a risk I can take. Because of my awakening and presence, those creatures that was crafted by me was ready to set out. Master, I have one more trump card, and only I have authority to order him to cause chaos and distress. Please allow me to do one more mission to cause fear and mayhem inside Sleepy Hollow... to send THAT THING into the town.
 * Moloch: You mean...

''Christine nodded with a gruesome smile, all the while holding the pain she suffered from Moloch's brutal torture. She had no fear upon her punishment, and she was seemed to be glad to endure all those suffering.'' ''Furious, Moloch immediately rushed towards Christine with fury. His claws stretched into Christine's cell block and was only one inch far from Christine's face.'' ''Christine only looked at Moloch with no fear at all. She looked straight into Moloch's eyes as if she never served him. Moloch was furious, but soon he calmed himself down and moved his claw out of the bars.'' ''Christine's word did not make Moloch change his facial expression. However, he moved towards the center of his lair before casting a spell. Soon, a black puff smoke started to surface itself from the middle of the lair. ''
 * Christine: Master, you can give me one hour, just one more hour. I will send that creature out and pick up a target with dark secrets. After that... that thing shall go free. It only listens to my command. Only I can make him do anything he wants, since I recreated him from an ordinary human into a demonic wraith.  I hate to say so, but even YOU cannot order him, Master. You can only summon him. 
 * Christine: It sounds like you are too use to listening to the words of praise, and now I am not used to speak any praise now.
 * Christine: Master, a dark secret holding in someone's hand can get them killed, and I know about a dark secret on Ichabod Crane. I can torment him with that. 

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Moloch: Fine, I shall believe you one more time. '

''The blackened smoke then turned to a humanoid figure with grayish skull and gaseous body. Christine looked at the creature with a gruesome smile. She looked at the creature straight into its eyes,'' The creature immediately stepped back in horror when Christine spoke out its name, but it soon returned back to calmness when it recognized its mistress.
 * 302Wraith1.pngChristine: Well, even if this monster failed to kill the Witnesses, I guess it would be beneficial for gathering more souls into Purgatory. After all, hiding some dark secrets can cause this town's downfall.
 * Christine: Don't you think so, Marcus Collins?

''This creature was once a colonial soldier named Marcus Collins, but was turned into a wraith creature by Christine after his surrender into British Army. He gained dark abilities to delve into a human's darkest secrets. It exposed those secrets in front of their eyes before silencing them by killing them without a trace of blood or injury, putting those secrets died with them unnoticed.'' ''Nevins looked at the dark creature in its smoke-like cloak. For the first time, he was impressed by what Christine was capable to do. Moloch then moved forward to Christine once again with menace.'' ''Once again, Christine shook her head. She only smiled in a devious manner. Suddenly, screams started to coming from another cell in Purgatory, and Christine can't control herself from chuckling.'' ''Nevins narrowed his head and ask Christine while a sweat drop came from his forehead. He was feeling nervous. It was apparent that Christine had changed her personality and talked like a real adult after inside Purgatory just for days.''
 * Nevins: Hmm...
 * Moloch: [You are not afraid if I put more tortures on you when you fail again? Remember, that Valindra Shadowmantle has yet to revive you. I can give you a chance to do this mission, but remember, you can only move your soul essence in Sleepy Hollow for one hour and cannot use magic at all.]
 * Christine: Uhehehheh, thank you... Master, I know that Valindra had took my ashes to recreate my body, but that does not matter.
 * Nevins: You are not bothered? Even if you are stuck in here?
 * Christine: Why, no.

​Christine smiled once again in calmness, in contrast to the terrifying scream coming from another deeper dungeon. ''The scream was coming from Lady Van Tassel, who was also tormented and tortured inside Purgatory, albeit with a longer time - for 215 years.  Christine gave Marcus a nod, hinting her order. Marcus then disappeared Moloch snarled when he looked at the tunnel towards the cell of Lady Van Tassel. He then looked at Christine again.'' ''Christine only looked at Moloch in a calm expression, in contrast to her childish and spoiled behavior before she died. She now presented herself like a truly dark, heartless and malicious monster in human skin, being calmer, darker, more sophisticated.'' ''However, Christine then looked away and closed her eyes. Her face then turned more and more serious.''
 * LadyVanTasselTrueNature.jpgChristine: I won't be bothered at all. At least, I can listen to that wretched witch to scream with terror... while suffering less pain than I suffered.
 * Christine: She suffered less pain in her own punishment from what I suffered in my own punishment. However, she is now screaming like a coward where as I admit my mistake. That's the difference between me and her.
 * Moloch: [I know you held Ichabod Crane's darkest secret and want him to be killed by the guilt caused by such a secret. If I give you another chance when you returned back to life, will you become more successful in your plan?]
 * Christine: Trust me, Master. After all those lessons, I know what my mistakes are. I know what should I do to prevent all of those mistakes that caused me to die like that as best as I can.

''Moloch then nodded to Christine in satisfaction. At least, he saw true determination on Christine.'' ''Christine then smiled once again, this time not in a bratty manner, but a devious manner. In arousement, she licked her lips.'' ''Moloch then left the lair and went into the forest outside. Feeling unbelievable for Christine's determination, Nevins looked at Christine before he sighed and left. After that, Christine closed her eyes and grinned.''
 * Christine: However, I will not show regret for what I had done in Sleepy Hollow. It was just a beginning, and I will one day put everything we started to its most satisfying endings. After I return to the town in flesh and blood, I will enforce your will once again, Master, for the coming... of a new era in this world!
 * Moloch: [A new era? A new era is coming? It sounds like a suspension that is utterly interesting.]
 * Christine: Believe me, Lord Moloch. As you know, I am so far stuck in this place, but I truly anticipate what will come next. Those monsters are just prologue, and the real fun shall return.
 * Christine: Hmm...

Lyrics
I'm searching for answers

'cause something is not right.

I follow the signs,

I'm close to the fire.

I fear that soon you'll reveal

Your dangerous mind.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

I fear your smile and the promise inside.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

I fear your presence, I'm frozen inside.

I'm searching for answers

Not questioned before.

The curse of awareness,

There's no peace of mind.

As your true colours show

A dangerous sign.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

I see the truth that

you've buried inside.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

There is no mercy just anger I find.

I find...

I just have know, while I

still have time.

Do I have to run, or hide away from you?

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

I see the truth that

you've buried inside.

It's in your eyes, what's on your mind.

There is no mercy just anger I find.

It's in your eyes...

Act 1 - Wipe the Secrets
<p style="text-align:center;"> Tarrytown Train Station 

''1 day after the arrest of Nelson Meyers in the previous case investigated by Ichabod and Abbie, things seemed to get settled down, and the town itself returned back to its normal cycle. People went in and out through the town's train station and went on to a trip towards bigger cities.''

''Inside the train station, there was a newly settled cafe, where a woman with black shirt and a pair of glasses was working inside it. Outside of the shop, a man in working suit appeared into the train station, holding a phone inside his hand. He walked towards the center of the hall with a distressed face. He was whispering to the phone.'' ''​The man then stood between the crowd and stopped walking beside the cafe. He continued to talk on his phone. The woman who owed the cafe looked at the outside and had a face filled with seriousness.'' ''After that, the man hung up his phone and started to leave. Just then, he heard a knock on the glass window, and he turned his head, seeing the woman who had knocked on the window.'' ''The man looked at his phone with confusion. He then looked at the woman who was looking aside, speaking some words that did not even make any sense.'' ''The man looked at the woman with a face as if he was looking at some fools. Then, he promptly left in rush. The woman then turned into a more malicious look as she turned back into the mirror, taking off her glasses.''
 * 302Man.pngMan: We have to do something. Tell someone what we know. Look, it's the right thing...
 * Man: Of course I'm scared. We all are.
 * Hungary.full.865598.jpg???: Excuse me? You've got to tell me your secret.
 * ???: I can't even seem to get any signal in here.

Another face started to surface in the mirror, revealing the ghost who was possessing this woman - the face of Christine Van Bilj, before her face started to turn back into the face of woman that owned in the cafe. ''As the audio broadcast going on, the fragmental soul of Christine let out a devious smile, as some mist of darkness began to form on the ceiling above her. Christine sighed before she looked at the man who rushed away.'' ''As she was closing her eyes, Christine slowly turned her head and watched in calm and malice as the man walked to one of the gates, where the signal was better and people were less crowded. Moreover, he was inside shades. He started to phone another number, all the while Christine looked at the thing going on and on.''
 * Audio broadcast: [Now arriving on Track 9, train number 290.]
 * Christine: He's jumping at shadows, Marcus. I have just the thing for you.

Meantime, Christine was absorbing informations from the woman she possessed, as she needed to gather more informations about the 21st century so that she could get use to the era once she returned to mortal realms.

''Meanwhile, she did not forget to look at her target. The man was phoning the FBI itself.'' Possessing the cafe hostess and with nobody noticing her, ​Christine turned back to the evil spirit of Marcus as she looked at it started to take form in a large mass of smoke creature with a calm face. ​After saying this, Christine sighed and paused, before her words became more menacing. ''​Christine then let out a devious grin as the smoke creature started to flow itself out of the cafe. Turning her back to the station outside of the window, Christine looked at the man with a sociopathic poker face.''
 * FBI: [FBI, how do I direct your call?]
 * Man: My name is Paul Everett. Can I speak to an agent?
 * Hungary.full.902684.jpgChristine: He has a secret, and he's terrified it will be discovered. Just stay calm and take your time pulling out his secret from him, will you?
 * Christine: I'm really quite enjoying watching these mortals squirm.

Christine's Flashback - 1776
<p style="text-align:center;"> August 31st 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Willaim Howe's Camp 

''With a face filled with a mixture of smile as well as doubt, Christine looked at the coloniel soldier with a quill holding in her hand. Sitting in front of her was Marcus Collins, the man who would later become a whispering wraith controlled by Christine and Moloch.'' ''Christine looked at Marcus before she slowly stood up and walked beside him. With an insane grin, Marcus only let out a darkly chuckle.'' ''Hearing this man's words, Christine could not help herself from gulping in disgust. She narrowed her eyes and tried to hold back her feelings of disdain.''
 * Hungary.full.1774350.jpgChristine: You wanted to work with us? Mr. Marcus Collins?
 * Christine: Remember this, once you made this step, there shall be no way turning back. Please think again
 * Marcus: Oh, Ms. Van Bilj, can't you understand that there are rumors that Ichabod Crane had joined Katrina Van Tassel after being persuaded by her? I can help you with that. If he had truly betrayed General Howe and turned into a spy inside your side, then my betrayl to that old Washington could be justified as well.

Christine never liked Ichabod Crane because of their fiery rivalry since they were children, and she would know that Ichabod was working for Washington as a spy.

''However, thinking some person would mimic such a treachery simply because of fame and power, Christine was disgusted. She slowly grabbed the pendant on her neck.''

''That pendant was silver, and it had a special mark on it, which represented the Order of the Blood Moon, an evil witch cover that served Moloch. Christine would like to use her pendant to strike down the treacherous man in matter of seconds.''

However, she needed him as a puppet. ''In disgust, Christine then threw a small bag, which was containing something inside it, right to Marcus. It fell on the hand of Marcus. Marcus looked at the bag inside his hand and was delighted.'' ''Christine watched in delight as Marcus opened the bag and randomly grabbed one silver coin. She saw Marcus observing the coin as his face started to turn darkened.'' As a shade of blackish mist started to cover his face, Marcus looked closer to the coin, as if the coin was enchanted and urged him to look closer. ''In response, Marcus looked at Christine with a smile, much to Christine's satisfaction. There was one more soul for her to enslave in order to rule the world.'' Christine then touched her pendant and raised her hand. ''Under Christine's influence, a black hornet came from the window and stung the neck of Marcus. Then, Marcus stood up in pain before he bent his spine. He walked backward as black mist started to form from his neck.'' ''Christine watched in satisfaction as Marcus stepped back and yelled in horror and pain. Soon, a plenty of black smoke started to cover his body, and his face began to turn sallow and monstrous.'' ''As Christine bellowed her order, Marcus Collins the floated on the sky, no longer like a human anymore. Christine smiled as she looked at her new creation with satisfaction.'' Christine slowly turned back to her seat, as a Hessian guard started to reach her in a face filled with nothing but flatter. ​Before the Hessian could speak out, Christine turned back suddenly and started to beat the Hessian with a staff in her hand. Christine beated the soldier again on his head. ''Just as Christine raised her staff again, she saw Colin outside of her door. She then dropped the cane on the ground and rushed to Colin. She embraced him with a warm and genuiue smile.''
 * Christine: Deal.
 * Marcus: A bag of money?
 * Christine: It is just a little gift. I don't think it is enough to express my gratitude, Mr. Collins.
 * Christine: Now, do we have a deal?
 * Coins2.jpgMarcus: Now, give me power so that I can delve into those spies' secrets. They shall never speak them out to jeopadize your... I mean, OUR business, Ms. Van Bilj.
 * Christine: Good, and now I will do what you requested! Behold... 
 * 302Wraith1.pngChristine: Stay calm, since enduring the pain is one of the most vital ways to achive progress.
 * Christine: RISE, MY NEW CREATION!
 * Hungary.full.1827132.jpgChristine: Now, I shall name you the Whispering Wraith. General Howe will be pleased to see you on our side, my new pet.
 * Hessian: Fraulein Van Bilj, this is marvelous. I think you are the most intellegent offspring of Lord Van Bilj amonst you siblings. Comparing to Lord Colin, that fool with no self-esteem, I guess you should dispose him so that---
 * Christine: Well, I guess there is some sort of conditions surfacing on your skin, you rotten rye sack with a hole.
 * Christine: Colin is my family! He may be not talented as I am, but he is a soldier, and a family to me! He is someone who will carry on our family's name! Therefore, don't you dare talk about my brother like that ever again, or don't blame me if I rip your mouth off your face!
 * Colin: Sister?

At this era, Christine still loved and cared her twin brother despite often teaching him lessons. ''However, when Christine then looked at the face of Colin, she widened her eyes in shock. Colin's eyes was filled with tears as he raised the file inside his file.'' Christine looked at Colin before she looked at the file inside the hand of Colin, with horror in her eyes. As a response, Colin then showed the papers inside his hand to Christine in anger and sadness. ''Christine was shocked to hear this, but she was more desperate on looking at the file than blaming Lady Van Tassel. She grabbed the file and looked at it. She recognized the files as something that Caspar written with his own hands, and thus she shivered in horror.''
 * Hungary.full.1122491.jpgChristine: Oh, Colin! What brings you here?
 * Colin: For years, Christine, our father had deceived us.
 * Christine: What are you saying? Our father is the most respectful and most honest man I have ever seen! How could he deceived us?
 * Colin: THIS IS THE PROOF! Lady Van Tassel gave me this thing this morning! She proved that our father is treating us as tools, not as family!

That file was filled with nothing but megalomaniacal ideas of Caspar to exploit the talents from his children and use them as his tools. ''​Christine shivered in horror and madness as she started to feel tense. Her face began to become pale before turning into red. Her body was shivering in sheer pain and horror. Her head hurt intensely... before she covered her head and cried in madness.'' ''​Christine cried in agony before she grabbed the hand of Colin abd put it on her face, as she cried and cried before she fell on the ground in pain. Colin reacted in horror and shock, as the guards rushed towards Christine's side.''
 * Christine: For more than a decade... we were deceived...
 * Christine: NO! THIS IS NOT TRUE! TELL ME THIS IS! NOT! TRUE! COLIN!


 * Guards: MS. VAN BILJ! ARE YOU OKAY!?

Nowadays
​Christine raised her hand in a shape of claw before slasing her own flashback, denying her former self who loved and cared her brother, before she looked at the man named Paul Everett continuing talking to the phone. ''As Paul began to hold his phone, he did not notice a huge amount of blackened mist was forming behind his back. Strange whispering could be heard behind him, and his surroundings began to turn black. Paul saw this and stepped back in horror.''
 * Hungary.full.996656.jpgChristine: Ugh!
 * Paul: I have important mission.
 * FBI: (phone) [Can you hold, please?]
 * Paul: Yes, I'll hold.

''He did not notice that a humanoid creature, covered in black gaseous cloak and had grayish skin and sharp claws, was right behind him, looking at him with malice while babling something that could hardly be recognized. It was Marcus Collins in his wraith form.''

''Paul sensed something cold behind him and then he turned his back... and faced the monster right behind him. Then, the monster itself started to change its form into a woman. Paul looked at the vision with horror. It was apparent that only he saw this creature somehow.''

''Meanwhile, some dark whispers could be heard inside his head, as some events began to flash inside his mind. There was a woman and another man sitting next to him at a table. That man was talking to him with a worried face. The three was discussing something''
 * Man: [It's dangerous, Paul. We don't know what he's capable of.]
 * Woman: [Willaim's right. If we give any sign that we know...]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Marcus: Secrets... '

As his own voice echoed in his head, Paul watched in horror as the wraith released a long whip in black smoke and pierced through the chest of Paul, albeit it did not made him to bleed.
 * Paul: [We have to go public. We can't let him get away with it.]

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Marcus: Secrets kill.

''Paul shivered in horror and shock before he started to tremble. Then, he collapsed on the floor, as his eyes widened in terror and shock. Christine looked at the scene through the window with a malicious grin.'' Then, the host of Christine closed her eyes and fell on the ground, losing her counciosuness, as there was several ghosts in forms of gray smokes started to surface from the body of the cafe owner.
 * Christine: Good boy. Now, follow the lead and do whatever you should do.

''It was the soul essence of Christine, which had left the original Christine's soul for an hour to send Marcus Collins into Sleepy Hollow. The soul fragments soon merged into one, and it soon flew into a mirror in the cafe right before it disappared without a trace.''

''No one had think of what happened in the cafe. The woman who owned the cafe then stood up from the ground, looking around with confusion.''

Purgatory
<p style="text-align:center;"> Moloch's lair

<p style="text-align:center;"> Christine's Cell

<p style="text-align:center;"> 1 minutes later


 * Hungary.full.526188.jpgMoloch: [How was the thing going on?]

Deep inside the cell of Christine, the soul of Christine had her eyes opened as soon as she merged with the fragment of her soul, looking at Moloch in front of her. ''Moloch was still standing in front of Christine with his face covered in fog. Christine closed her eyes with a sigh. During this time, she allowed her mind flow for a while, before her mind started to enter another timeline in her vision.'' ''Then, Christine opened her eyes and looked around with a smile. She had saw something '' ''Moloch did not answer. He only stood up and walked to Christine in a serious face.'' ''Christine shook her head and did not answer. She did not try to talk back when Moloch was looking at her in such a seriousness. She indeed knew what would it take if Moloch was offended.'' ''With some kind of sadness coming from her eyes, Christine then looked down on the ground with a sigh. She then started to tremble in anger as her shackles began to shake.'' ''Moloch turned back in dissatisfaction. However, he soon relented and spoke in a calmer tone.'' ''Moloch soon disappeared in front of Christine, as he teleported himself to the woods. Christine suddenly felt pain inside her head. Tears started to run down from her cheek.'' ''In another kind of tone that was much less menace and much more gentle, Christine surprisingly started to cry and mourn Colin... as if there was some kind of kinder and more compassionate side living inside her mind. It was real tears, and she did not try to pretend.'' ''However, Christine soon stopped crying and widened her eyes. Her eyes suddenly turned more menacing as if she had switched into another personality.'' ''The menacing side of Christine soon fell into silence, before she looked around the cell and sighed. She then looked at her own stomach before speaking to herself.'' ''Christine then bit her lips, feeling the pain that two minds was fighting inside her own soul. However, soon she stopped feeling pain, as her darker side began to take over her.''
 * Christine: Master, the thing is over and it goes rather well. I have Marcus to set on action... and he will make a dark secret never spill away so that we can one day gain our goods by corrupting this town.
 * Christine: This world is like a beehive, like I always said, Master. The society needs a strong ruler as its queen. It must be a talented and worthy ruler to rule this world and make it heading towards the future. I came to realize this a hard way.
 * Christine: By the way, where is that little dark fairy? I guess I need to thank her for what Firenza's son have become, for fully embracing your ideology so that I can serve you here. Otherwise, I will be a nobody forever, just a girl exploited by her lying father.
 * Moloch: [I highly doubt if you really learned something during your times in Purgatory, but I guess you just don't want to show it in front of me. That can be a progress, though. Anyway, it is only days, and I can chain you in centuries if necessary.]
 * Hungary.full.248515.jpgChristine: I have abandoned my love on my brother so that I can fully understand your ideology, Master, and what else could I say? At least, there is no way turning back. That Christine had died.
 * Christine: I promise you, Master. As soon as I return back to Sleepy Hollow, I will give you the head of Ichabod Crane no matter what it takes! He should die a long time ago.
 * Moloch2ndForm_.jpgMoloch: [Not so fast, you just need to stay here and do things right. I will settle the whole thing inside Sleepy Hollow. You just follow my orders. If you try to make any stupid moves again, I will know. Therefore, don't treat me as if I am foolish.]
 * Christine: Colin, I'm sorry... I'm sorry...
 * Hungary.full.713505.jpgChristine: Why did I do this... I cannot...
 * Christine: SILENCE! YOU COWARD! DON'T CRY! DON'T FEEL REGRET!
 * Christine: You like what I did. We both do. Just stop playing with my mind.
 * Christine: No, Colin should die for his utterly foolish incompetence. I am no longer who I was...

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Christine: Never again.

Christine's Flahsback - 1776
<p style="text-align:center;"> September 3rd, 1776 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Christine's House 

''Trembling inside the bed during her three-day period of comatose, Christine's body started to tremble as her face turned feverish. The revealing of her father's crime caused an intense mental breakdown in Christine, causing her to fall into unconciousness for more than three days. No one had know what she was dreaming these days, although in could be assumed that it was a bad dream.''

''Inside her dream, Christine found herself being trapped inside a cube-shaped room with bricks in the color of white, and no one was inside it. Christine stood up and looked around, before she started to look for an exit for her escape. Christine stood up and walked in the room for a long time. She was about to give up finding an exit, before she suddenly spotted something, which had appared out of nowhere, right inside the room.'' ''It was a mirror. Christine walked to the mirror with some curiousity and surprise. Christine then saw her own reflection inside the mirror, but much to her shock, she looked drastically different inside the mirror itself. Instead of wearing white dress, the own reflection of Christine wore more lavish dress and wore a devious smile like a greedy child.'' Reacted in horror, Christine was so startled that she immediately stepped back, but her eyes cannot leave from looking at her own reflection inside the mirror. ''The voice of Christine's reflection was speaking in a child-like voice and acted like a spoiled brat. She let out an insane and perverted grin.''
 * Christine: Hmm...
 * Reflection: Good evening, Christine.
 * Christine: Who-who are you?
 * Reflection: It is your inner voice as well as your conscience talking here.

''The refelction was none other than a split personality that took form from Christine's sadness, anger and desire. Getting horrified, Christine tried to step back more fron her reflection, but somehow she was frozen and could not move her limbs at all.'' Hearing her reflection speaking in such words to tense her, Christine narrowed her eyes as tears began to stream down her cheeks, sobbing in pure sadness. ''The reflection of Christine then gruesomely grinned as she began to walk herself out of the mirror. She continued to speak in a soft and childish voice, in contrast to Christine's calmer voice.'' ​The reflection of Christine then walked just one inch far from Christine, before she touched her cheek with her palm, smiling. ''As the reflection was speaking, Christine did not answer. She was thinking of her brother, Colin, as he was the only person whom she cared.'' The words of her reflection had interrupted the mind of Christine.
 * Reflection: I am always inside you since your own childhood, and yet you always shut me off due to being extremely caring towards your own father and brother... and my father and brother as well, actually. However, now you see what your efforts had brought to you, my dear. You were betrayed and exploited by your very own father, a man you once respected! Now, my dear, tell me if you want vengence upon him.
 * Hungary.full.1019345.jpgChristine: I have never expect that he was such a person... I feel betrayed by my very own family.
 * Reflection: If you hated him, then that is the time for you to show him he was nothing but a worker bee who should serve his queen. You do understand that family or love have no use.
 * Axis.Powers-.Hetalia.full.1122498.jpgReflection: They are just stepstones towards your ambition, but clinging on them will cause yourself never be able to look forward! Ha, isn't it great to give up all of your humanity so that you could be somebody that is inside a higher existence? I am the incarnation of your inner desire. Since you are lost, I am here to help you, Christine, so that we can become one and the same and I will fulfill your destiny.
 * Reflection: However...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Reflection: You should abandon all of your feelings, including the feelings towards your brother. '

''Christine heard this and reacted in shock. However, her reflection smiled in satisfaction.'' ''In horror and rejection, Christine started to shake in horror, and her head was sweating. She tried so hard to defy all of those words that her reflection had put inside her head all at once. However, those words ran inside her head and mind, corrupting them in a rapid pace.'' Christine then had tears shedding on her cheeks, much to her own horror.
 * Reflection: Ha, face it, Christine, because he is nothing but a useless burden! When you find a new puppet for you and was overjoyed, he only caused troubles by telling you who your father truly is. He is just a killjoy who never have any sense of humor, and he should die long ago if I am in control, but I need him alive...  as a loyal and obedient tool for myself! 
 * Reflection: After that, Lord Moloch will be pleased to see who you have become. That is what he sees you. My dear, if you want to be a queen, you have to abandon all your mercy. That is the major barrirer for your road towards your success!
 * Hungary.full.795640.jpgChristine: Please, stop, make it stop! As long as you let me go, I'll do whatever you want!

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Reflection: Good! Now, in exchange, let me take over your soul! '

''With a smiled like some spoiled child, the reflection of Christine started to transform into a shadowy being before entering the ear of Christine. Relieved from her paralyzed condition all of a sudden, Christine then dropped her knees on the ground, as her face turned more and more shadowy. The inner reflection of her own heart filled with uncaring and selfishness had took her form, taking over the soul of Christine.'' ''Finally losing her mind, Christine ranted inside her dream world. Then, she started to giggle like a mindless maniac, finally letting her own arrogance and selfishness exposed completely...''
 * Christine / Reflection: From this day on, I will be the protagonist of my own story and have everthing. I will take everything by force. Everything! I want to have everything in this world! I will be rich, be famous and be feared and revered, because I deserve them! I DESERVE THEM!!!

Nowadays
''After recalling all those events in her past. Christine... or the evil personality that took over Christine's own soul... merely sighed in helplessness... before she turned more manacing again.'' ​Feeling tired instead of pain, despite the wound on her soul (coming from Moloch's torture) never really healed, Christine closed her eyes, her eyes without remorse, her eyes without compassions.
 * Christine: Why did those memories always came back to disturb me? No one shall defy me, not even "myself". One day, I will let the world to see what I am truly capable of.

Inside her mind, after all, that caring Christine had been buried deep inside her memories.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later

''Standing betwenn the files and the bookshelf, Sister Mary Eunice looked at the archive with pleasure. The red hooded woman cleaned the place thoroughly and it looked just like newly furished.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice smiled and turned to see a fully recovered Ichabod, who was looking at another file without looking at the surroundings beside him. Abbie was sitting right across him. He heard the nun's words and look aside.'' ''With a face like a teacher looking at one of her most naughty students, Sister Mary Eunice then watched as Ichabod returned to take a look on his files. Abbie stayed silent and did not react, as Sister Mary Eunice put more attention on her.'' ''Abbie was thinking of her encounter with the soul of Corbin after the death of Christine. She was having an upset feeling as well.'' ''Sister Mary Eunice shook her head and looked at the newspaper, which she had just grabbed from the table. Its front page article detailed the murder case concerning Nelson Meyers, but the media treated as an usual homicide. No trace of demon possession was mentioned throughout the headline article.'' With a helpless expression, Ichabod sighed, and then he shrugged his shoulders. ''Ichabod then looked at Abbie with a calm look. Abbie was apparently still skeptical on her Witness duty as if something inside her was pulling her back.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: That maid did a good job. She is a helpful sample for us in our society. I wonder what her name is. By the way, are you feeling better now, Ichabod?
 * 103Promo12.jpgIchabod: Well, I am fully recovered. Thanks.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Abbie, what's the matter?
 * Abbie: No, it's nothing.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Here is what they said about the murder committed by Nelson Meyers. Just think of the uproar, when will people to discover the true nature of the late Sheriff Corbin's demise?
 * Ichabod: (think) * Only in Sleepy Hollow does your commanding officer get beheaded by a Headless Horseman. *
 * Ichabod: You were always able to balance your police work with your duty as a Witness.
 * -美国恐怖故事--第二季-第6-00_23_25--20171002-081006-2-.png: Maybe, but it's not a balancing act I want to keep up forever.

''After that, Abbie then looked at Ichabod, surprisingly seeing him concentrating himself to listen whatever she was about to say. Sister Mary Eunice nodded to her in encouragement as well. Then, Abbie then continued her words patiently.'' ''Just as Abbie was about to continue, her cell phone began to rang. It startled Sister Mary Eunice. It was only one day after the events concerning Nelson Meyers and the Byzantine Parang, and another phone rang indicated another case had happened.'' ''In fact, Sister Mary Eunice was right. Her bad feeling came true when Abbie answer the phone.'' Abbie took a look at Sister Mary Eunice and Ichabod, who both realized that there was another case which happened somewhere in the town.
 * Abbie: I'm building something here, Crane and Sister. The kind of life I've always seen for myself.
 * Abbie: Lt. Mills.
 * Police officer: (phone) [Dispatch here. We have a code 001B-36 at the Tarrytown Train Station.]

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Abbie: New mission is here, guys. '

<p style="margin-top:0.4em;margin-bottom:0.5em;text-align:center;"> Tarrytown Train Station 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later

''When Abbie arrived in the crime scene, Ichabod was staying outside of the Train Station, away from the police crime scene. Accompanied by Detective Luke Morales, Devon Jones and others, Abbie was led by a female FBI Agent and went to the scene, listening to the agent telling her about informations on the victims.'' ''The agent finished her words and she stooped in front of the corpse of Paul Everett, and so did Abbie. Abbie immediately fell into thoughts.'' ''​Abbie then turned to the agent and spoke to her. ''
 * FBI Agent: His name is Paul Everett. He worked for the county, an accountant at the comptroller's office. The SHPD medical examiner says he died of a heart attack.
 * Abbie: Well, the last call he made was to the FBI, which makes it our buisness. I need to contact FBI now.
 * Agent: Operator said he didn't get any details; just ask for an agent.
 * Abbie: All calls into the switchboard are recorded. Send me a copy please? Thank you.

''The agent nodded before she went away. Abbie turned back to observed the corpse, looking at the corpse with a confused look. Just then, she heard a deep male voice appearing not far away.'' ''It was Captain Frank Irving, who looked at the corpse of Paul Everett with a pair of frowned eyebrows. Abbie leaned forward and look at the corpse as well.'' ''Abbie then looked closer on the face of the deceased victim. Suddenly, she felt something was hiding behind her. She looked back, but she saw nothing but some kind of strange shade.''
 * Irving: It seems unusual for someone so young to suffer a cardiac arrest.
 * Abbie: Look at his expression. He looks absolutely afraid.
 * Irving: Probably was. Muscle rigidity is often the side effect of a sudden heart attack.
 * Abbie: ......

<p style="text-align:center;"> Outside Train Station  <p style="text-align:center;"> 3 minutes later

''Meanwhile, as Abbie and Irving was discussing about the case, Ichabod was listening not far away without being noticed by police force. When Detective Devon Jones spotted him, he immediately went out of the station.''

''As Ichabod went out of the station, it was almost dusk, and the sky was filled with pale blue color as the night began to fall upon the town. However, there were still a glimmer of sunlight shone the sky for now.''



''Just then, Ichabod heard some strange and deep voice, some whispering voice. He immediately looked up and saw the building in front of him, right across the street, and he looked at the shadowy windows with a pair of narrowed eyes and a pair of frowned eyebrows.'' ''Ichabod spotted something shadowy that swept the windows of the building, even it was very briefly. He observed the building closely and carefully... before he turned back. He knocked into a woman who was holding a cup of coffee.''
 * Ichabod: Hmm...



''Unbeknowest to him, it was Pandora in disguise. She was at first shocked a bit, but then she greeted him with a smile.'' ''She pointed at the building behind Ichabod, which he was looking at. Ichabod calmed himself down as well.'' The woman then went away as Ichabod reassumed to observe the building behind him, but the Abbie went out in a face of distress.
 * Pandora: It was quite a facade, isn't it?
 * Ichabod: Yes. Most impressive.

Hearing what Abbie had said, Ichabod continued to look at the building. ''Inside Ichabod's words, Abbie heard "supernatural entity" and frowned. It was apparent that whatever kind of evil inside the town shall never give her a good time to take a rest. It was only one day after the case about Nelson Meyers, after all.''
 * Abbie: Irving wants me to kick the tires on this one case. Everett called the FBI minutes before he died. We need to find out if he had a reason.
 * Ichabod: I'm afraid this man Everett's death may have been caused by a supernatural entity.

Abbie asked in a weak voice, and Ichabod pointed at the shadows between the windows on that building across the street. ''Almost all of a sudden after realizing something, Ichabod looked at Abbie again with a pale face. He spoke something in a nervous voice.''
 * Abbie: You saw something?
 * Ichabod: Just a glimpse. There may be a new threat hiding inside the shadows.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: Or... is one, itself. '

Ichabod looked at Abbie who was looking at him with a skeptical face.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corbin's Archives  <p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes later 

''Immediately after returning to the Archives, Ichabod could not help himself from getting books and files from the shelves and started to do a research. Sister Mary Eunice was helping him to do the job.'' As for Abbie, she was standing at the table with a helpless face. ''​Sister Mary Eunice looked at Abbie, thinking what was hiding inside the mind of Abbie. She had sensed guilt deep inside Abbie's mind, and she began to deduce that it was connected to Jenny Mills as well as the demon inside the woods, who caused such a traumatizing event in Abbie's childhood. However, she could not fully comprehend why Abbie was filled with guilt.'' Abbie had looked aside with a helpless sigh. Before she continued, Abbie walked to the computer of the archives and looked at its screen, as she called Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice to come closer to her. As Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice were approaching the computer, Abbie opened the audio file, and then they heard the voice of Paul Everett coming out. The voice paused, but the recording never stopped. ''However, suddenly, Abbie frowned her eyebrows. There were something that gone horribly wrong. The sound wave on the screen suddenly began to flow rapidly instead of going quiet. There was someone else speaking.'' ''​Ichabod got closer and hear the recording, before he suddenly heard some strange whispering voice. Sister Mary Eunice leaned closer as well, and a face of confusion surfaced on her face.'' Abbie then started to operated to filter the interference, before some of the voices began to get clearer.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I found references to creatures of shadows and darkness... blights, wraiths, ghouls, oni, bogeyman... Maybe they'll help us to find the culprit this time.
 * Abbie-leather-jacket.pngAbbie: I don't know which is worse: the supernatural back in full force or my life had turned into a complete reversal.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I understand, Abbie, since I am a friend of Corbin as well. This is a hard pill to swallow for all of us, but we have to move on.
 * Abbie: There must be a source of all evil inside this town, something that is leading all of these monsters and orchastrating these strange events behind the curtain, but why can't we know about it?
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_11_08--20171004-091301-3-.pngAbbie: Sister, Crane, there is a message that Paul Everett left for the FBI. I may be able to find a clue as to what happened to him in the back ground noise of the phone call.
 * Paul: [My name is Paul Everett. Can I speak to an agent? I have important information.]
 * Operator: [Can you hold, please?]
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_11_22--20171004-091510-4-.pngPaul: [Yeah, I'll hold.]
 * Abbie: See? It keeps recording for another 15 seconds. No sounds of attack, no sounds of distress from Everett...
 * Abbie: Wait, there is something else.
 * Ichabod: Voices... Whispering...
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Other commuters?
 * Abbie: I can filter out some of the interference.
 * Paul: (recording) [Williams is right. We have to go public with this. We can't let him get away with it...]
 * Abbie: So that's Everett talking... but who was he talking to?

<p style="text-align:center;"> - ???: (voice) [Kill for secrets...] 

''Just then, another deeper whispering voice suddenly surfaced into the audio file. Abbie, Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice were all confused and apalled when they heard such a strange voice.'' ''As she was talking, Abbie began to do the work with no waste of time, and the voice started to become louder. It was a male voice with deep pitch like some kind of growling animal.''
 * Abbie: There is another voice, but it's not on the same wavelength. I can scrub and boost it.

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - ???: (voice) [Secrets... Secrets... Kill for secrets. I... will... kill... ] ''

''The audio then stopped suddenly. The trio looked at each other with a nervous look.''
 * Abbie: Hmm...

Act 3 - Marcus Collins
Under the observation of both Sister Mary Eunice and Abbie, Ichabod immediately walked to the files and started to do the search, and it was apparent that it reminded him of something in his past. Sister Mary Eunice then widened her eyes. As he was being watched by two other women, Ichabod immediaterly turn to the page detailed the possible culprit behind all of this.
 * Ichabod: A shadow that moves as if it is alive, in conjunction with whispering voices, jogged a memory... something I read in the files of Sheriff Corbin, which was detailed by none other than... Katrina herself.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Your wife?
 * Ichabod: That's right.
 * Ichabod: Here.

Katrina's Note
''In September, 1772, Ms. Dixon overheard a rumor that General Howe, who was the commanding British officer stationed in occupied New York City, had raised a whispering Wraith in order to root out colonial spies. His most trusted advisor, Christine Van Bilj, started the creation of the monster.''

A dark ceremony, in which a human host is bonded with demonic shadows.

<p style="text-align:center;"> M.C.

Real World
''Ichabod noticed "M.C." underneath the note and showed it to Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice. His face began to turn more serious.''
 * Ichabod: The host in question was an unfortunate wretch named Marcus Collins.

Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice noticed the name and looked at Ichabod. Ichabod then looked at the note once again. Ichabod sadly shook his head, hinting that it was such an unfortunate past for him.
 * Abbie: A friend of yours?
 * Ichabod: A turncoat. A rank base villain who reneged on his vow to fight for liberty.
 * Abbie: Not a friend, then.
 * Ichabod: It appears he was not only turned by Howe but literally transformed by Christine, sent out to kill his fellows - brave souls, with a secret worth dying for. It was General Howe's battle plan.

​Ichabod then closed his eyes and fell into the thoughts of past.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_14_21--20170406-104012-0-.pngIchabod: Had these men lived to deliver that information... thousands of lives would have been spared.
 * Ichabod: Washington lost confidence on Marcus Collins' loyalty... feared General Howe might learn the identities of the other agents. I was tasked with their exraction. I attended an event at the billeted quarters of General Howe, where I was to make contact with the spymaster, none other than my constant companion in adventure.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Ichabod: Betsy Ross. '

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horseman Saga - Seamstress (Prologue) 

When Ichabod entered the hall, he saw Betsy, who had dressed up like an aristocratic woman with a small fan in her hand, was casually chatting with General Howe.

Ichabod carefully walked towards Betsy in order not to draw Howe's alarm. ''​Betsy looked at Ichabod and pretended that she did not know him. She put her hand in Ichabod's hand.'' ​While they were walking towards the dancing crowd, Betsy whispered to Ichabod as they were preparing to dance. Ichabod and Betsy then started to dance while whispering to each other.
 * Ichabod: Would the lady grant me the honor?
 * Betsy: The gentleman was too kind. The honor is all mine.
 * Betsy: What the hell are you doing, Crane? If anyone recognizes you, you'll be shot as a deserter.
 * Ichabod: I shan't be here for too long and neither will you.
 * Ichabod: Your cover's been blown. Marcus Collins is a turncoat.
 * Betsy: *gasped* We must tell this to Katrina. She will warn the others. The secrets we share are invaluable to the war effort.
 * Ichabod: How many are embedded with you?
 * Betsy: Two men. One poses as Howe's valet, the other - that violin player.

​Just then, Betsy noticed that Howe was looking at Ichabod. ''​The two then stopped dancing and Ichabod left. While waving the fan in her hand, Betsy smilingly walked towards Howe.'' ​Howe smiled and nodded. ​Howe tried to leave, but Betsy stopped him in an gentle manner. ''​With a smile, Betsy closed her fan and use it to touch Howe's heart. Howe smiled with a nod.'' ''One hour later, in the stable, Ichabod was waiting for Betsy when he heard footsteps. Ichabod turned back to see Betsy, in a coat of British officers, was walking towards him. She then stopped in front of Ichabod when he approached him.'' ​Just then, Ichabod noticed Betsy's clothing. ​Ichabod looked at Betsy with confusion. ''​Ichabod then turned back to prepare the horses. Betsy walked towards inside the stables where the spies were suppose to meet each other. However, while holding a lantern to survey the place, Betsy saw two corpses lying on the ground.'' ''​Ichabod's eyes widened. Betsy continued to walk inside the room even further, when suddenly, some black smoke appeared out of nowhere and fused themselves into a smokey creature with black gaseous robes and a pale face. Betsy was enraged to see the creature.'' ​The creature started to screech as it stepped back. ''Somehow, the creature stepped back even more in fear when Betsy yelled its name. ​Outside the stables, Ichabod suddenly heard a voice of a British officer.'' ''He turned his head in alarm and saw two British officers ran towards the place. They saw Ichabod as the latter immediately went for a coach.'' ​Ichabod jumped on the coach and made the horses ran towards the place where Betsy was confronting the wraith of Marcus Collins. ''​Hearing Ichabod's voice, Betsy immediately went towards the coach as Ichabod gave a hand to her. She grabbed Ichabod's hand, and he pulled her on the coach. The two then swiftly went towards Katrina's camp after getting out of danger behind them.'' ''The wraith of Marcus Collins lurked inside the stable. He angrily glared at Ichabod and Betsy as they escaped.''
 * Betsy: Howe's looking in this way... I'll handle him, and you warn the others. Go. We'll meet at the stables in an hour.
 * Betsy: General... I haven't had the chance to thank you for this delightful party.
 * Howe: In a moment. There is someone I must have words with first.
 * Betsy: When a moment passes, it is gone forever. Or one can stop and take... full advantage of it.
 * Howe: Hmm...
 * Ichabod: I was beginning to worry.
 * Ichabod: Your clothing, Betsy...
 * Betsy: I told you I'd handle Howe...
 * Betsy: Not like that, my dear. Ready the horses while I look for the others.
 * Betsy: They are dead, Crane. Both of them.
 * IMG_7725.png: Is that you? You traitorous wretch?!
 * Betsy: Come out of the shadows, Marcus Collins. Come out and face me! I'LL HAVE YOUR HEAD, MARCUS COLLINS!
 * British officer: This way!
 * British officer: Fire on the sight!
 * ​Ichabod: Betsy, come on!
 * Ichabod: Are you all right?
 * Betsy: How could I not be?

<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Marcus: Crane... Crane... ''

Nowadays
''Sister Mary Eunice then looked at the computer screen, and Ichabod looked at it as well. Observing the screen made them draw a new conclusion.'' ''As she was talking Abbie typed the informations into the system, and then she saw a profile coming from the system. It was a profile from Richard Williams, a man working in county comptrollers office.'' They found the next target the wraith was looking for.
 * Ichabod: And now it seems the same dire wraith who killed my fellows stalks the streets of Sleepy Hollow.
 * Abbie: So this creature was sent by Christine and Howe to root out spies who shared a secret then.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: He may have the same M.O. Observe.
 * Ichabod: The voices on Everett's call to the FBI. An unnamed woman and a man named Williams.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_17_24--20171004-085327-0-.pngAbbie: And Everett worked as an accountant at the county comptrollers office. If they were co-workers, they may be the wraith's next victims.
 * Abbie: Here he is - Richard Williams.

<p style="text-align:center;"> House of Richard Williams 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later 

''It took about 20 minutes to make Ichabod and Abbie arrived in the house of Richard Willaims, which was a common bungalow with no special feature. After they disembarked from their car, Ichabod and Abbie started to approach the house and walked onto the stairs.'' ''Abbie went to the door of the house before knocking it, waiting for its owner. Ichabod stood far behind her and observed his surroundings.'' Just as Abbie continued to speak, Ichabod suddenly spotted some shadows which rapidly swept the room under sunlight. ​Meanwhile, inside the house, Richard Williams rushed to peek out of his window blind, in a face of terror, before he start running to somewhere else.
 * Ichabod: Let's hope we find Mr. Williams before the Whispering Wraith catches scent of his secrets.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_20_45--20171004-090319-2-.png: Is anyone home? Mr. Williams? It's Lt. Mills from Sleepy Hollow Police Department. I have some questions regarding your associations with Paul Everett. Mr. Williams?
 * Abbie: Is anyone home? Mr. Williams?

Outside of the house, Ichabod looked back as he saw smokes made of some kind of pitch black material, forming into a shape of a hooded human. ''Abbie turned back and saw the creature as well. She immediately raised her gun and pointed at the wraith creature.'' Pointing her gun at Marcus, Abbie started to walk downstiars and approached the monster, before Ichabod glared at him. ''The wraith of Marcus Collins did not show any reactions or attempt to leave, and Abbie immediately fired at the creature. However, the bullets proved no use since Marcus had dodged all of them.''
 * Ichabod: Lieutenant?
 * Ichabod: We have company.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_21_08--20171004-093235-7-.pngIchabod: Cease! No further!

''Recognizing Ichabod Crane, the wraith let out a roar and then plunged two whips made of shadows into the body of both Ichabod and Abbie, respectively. The two then stepped back while holding their chests in pain.'' ''Ichabod and Abbie started to step back in horror, as they felt more and more uncomfortable. Soon, they began to feel the terror as Marcus delved deeper into their darkest secrets. Inside their mind, the voices of Marcus and Christine together echoed in their mind.'' Ichabod and Abbie both widened their eyes in horror as flashbacks began to be recalled in their mind.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_21_13--20171004-093442-8-.pngMarcus: Secrets...
 * Marcus: Show me your secrets...
 * Christine: Show him your secrets...

Ichabod's Vision


<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Howe: Give us the names! ''

Abbie's Vision


<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Young Jenny: Yes, she did! Tell him! ''

Reality
''Just as the wraith prepared to attack the Ichabod and Abbie, a silver car suddenly passed by pavement. It was obviously the car of Richard Williams, and the wraith of Marcus immediately sunk itself into the ground instead of focusing on Ichabod and Abbie. They immediately felt relieved, with the strain in their throat started to fade.''

''However, there was nothing to be glad about it. Ichabod and Abbie watched in horror as they saw a mass shadow was sweeping the ground and follwing the car in front of it.'' Ichabod and Abbie immediately turned to their police car and tried to reach Williams, but it was too late.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_21_35--20171004-095335-0-.pngIchabod: The wraith's gone after Williams.
 * Abbie: Come on! 

''On the car of Williams, the driver himself drove in a paranoid state. It was apparent that the arrival of Ichabod and Abbie, who were meant to protect him, had the opposite effect of touching his nerve. In a nervous face, Williams continued to drive until...''

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Marcus: Secrets... '



''A dark, deep and horrifying whispering, unlike those voices from a human, had came behind Williams. Williams look a look at the mirror in front of the front seat, before he reacted in shock.'' He saw a sallow and grayish face with two hollowed eyes and a pair of hollowed cheeks. Before Williams could react, he saw a yellowish and skinny hand beside him, pointing straight towards somewhere... ''Seeing such a montsrous hand like a dead man's hand, Williams was terrified by the creature and started to scream in horror and agony. He was also distracted and lost control on his car. Soon, the car lost its way and slipped from the road, and it had no attempt of slowing down.''
 * Williams: Huh?
 * Williams: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Then, the car went straight towards a tree near the road, before smashing itself on the tree, forcing itself to stop.



<p style="text-align:center;">' BANG!!! '

''Due to the impact, the front of the car was misshaped, and it started to release black smoke. Deep inside it, the dead body of Williams, who had himself killed via bumping his head on the window, lied silently inside his car with a face of terror. The wraith soon slipped away without any noise caused by walking pace.''

Flashback - 1776
<p style="text-align:center;"> Camp of General Howe

<p style="text-align:center;"> 2 days before the invasion of Manhattan

''After riding her horse all the way from her mansion to Howe's camp, Christine finally reached to her destination. She went down from her horse and spoke with the guard.'' The guard nodded and opened the door for Christine. ''Under the lead of the guard, Christine went into where Howe lived, before she walked into the office of Howe. Howe was sitting in his seat with a serious face. Christine gulped and looked at the guard with a bit of turning head.'' ''The guard nodded before he saluted to both Christine and Howe. He then left. Christine then turned to Howe with a look full of shadows on her face.'' ​Christine shook her head as she looked at the general with a serious look. Howe then leaned forward with a serious face. ''Christine clenched her fists and bit her lips, acting in great fury. She was clearly enraged by that message. She then started to cough blood from her mouth, as Howe looked at it with surprise. Before Howe could speak, Christine used her own sword as a cane on the ground. Because of her special position, Christine was allowed to wield sword like many men.'' ''Regardless of her own inner injuries which was not yet to be recovered completely, Christine handed the note of Caspar to Howe. Howe looked at the note with a serious look, getting more and more angry.'' Howe angrily slammed the note on his paper. Christine stuggled herself to get up before bowing to Howe. Feeling less stressed out, Christine then wiped the blood of her face and continued. ''Howe heard this and frowned his eyebrows. His face began to shake in fury, and he slammed his fist on the table.'' Feeling deeply betrayed since Ichabod was once his best student in military, Howe angrily bit his own teeth as Christine watched in a cold face. ''Then, a malicious grin started to surface on the face of Christine. It was a pervertes smile with insanity as if she was enjoying speaking her following words.'' ''Christine then stopped and returned back to a serious face, trying to hide her sick amusement coming from her recent change of personality. Howe then nodded in satisfaction, but as he was about to speak, a British guard arrived and spoke to General Howe.'' ''​Howe heard this with surprise. He looked at Christine with satisfaction, before he turned to the guard in a menacing face.''
 * Hungary.full.1306887.jpgChristine: This is Van Bilj. I would like to give a vital information to General Howe.
 * Christine: Please let me in.
 * Guard: Here you are, Lady Christine. Allow me to lead your way.
 * Christine: You're dismissed.
 * Howe: Christine, I am really surprised to see you here. It seems that you recovered well during these three-day-period of comatose.
 * Christine: General Howe, comparing to the pain I suffered before I went into comatose, this is not even some kind of pain at all. I am here to inform you about what I had found from Marcus Collins - It was two urgent messages I got in recent days.
 * Howe: What is it?
 * Hungary.full.1192139.jpgChristine: I am sorry, General... I am fine. I was betrayed by the one whom I respected most. That was nothing, but that man shall one day betray not just General... but also His Majesty. My father, Caspar Van Bilj, is a potential traitor to our army. I have proof of his treachery, and please allow me to take care of him, General. That devastated me.
 * Howe: He did this?
 * Howe: I never expected that he was trying to use his children and gain fame from me. I can see why you fell into such a state for three days, Christine. I permit you to punish him with your own hand, as severe as you want.
 * Christine: Thank you, General.
 * Christine: Another news delivered from Marcus was that Ichabod Crane was a spy working for Washington, being the collaborator to those two spies found dead during our merriment was going on. Betsy Ross was with him, wearing your trenchcoat.
 * MV5BMjA2NDM5NjE2OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTgwMDM2NTI1MDE@._V1_.jpgHowe: ICHABOD CRANE?! He's turning against me as well with Betsy Ross?
 * Christine: However, General, this is our chance to make him back to us again. I know Crane very well since we were childen, General, and I guess if we gave him a chance of pardoning, he would return back to us... and it will be good for him.
 * Hungary.full.1024263.jpgChristine: After that, General, he will join us again, and he will give us the names of other spies. If he refused, then we can offically declare him as a traitor. No matter what the outcome is, our plan of invasion shall never be known by old Geroge. Soon enough, Manhattan will be drenched in blood and every single patroit dog will be soaked in the red pond.
 * Guard: General, we have captured Ichabod Crane with the informations given by Ms. Van Bilj.

<p style="text-align:center;"> Richard Williams' Death Scene 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 10 minutes after the incident 

''10 minutes after the death of Williams, police force soon arrived and surrounded the area, as Ichabod and Abbie walked on the road and discussed about the case. They were heading towards the room of Williams.'' The two then parted their way, with Ichabod being coerced by police force back into the town, while Abbie start heading towards the house of Williams.
 * Abbie: Neither one of the victims had any priors. There's no reason why Williams should have bolted like he did. I'm gonna head inside and see what I can find.
 * Ichabod: I'll return to the archives, see if I can discern a way to combat this Whispering Wraith.

<p style="text-align:center;"> House of Richard Williams 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 3 minutes later 

''Opening the door and useing her torch to brighten the entire room, Abbie looked for the possible reason within these death, as well as the reason of both Everett and Williams being murdered by the Whispering Wraith. She looked for everywhere inside the room, from shelves to tables to even drawers. She found nothing inside them.''

''However, when Abbie looked down on the wooden floor, she spotted some part of the wooden floor were having a sort of different hue. She crouched in front of the floor and used a small knife to lift the floor, revealing it being hollowed under the floor. Abbie the spotted many files underneath the floor, being hidden away.''

''Suddenly, Abbie heard someone opened the door. Terrified, Abbie immeidiately placed the files back into the hole, placing the wood back to its position, and she turned back to point her torch and her gun to the caller, revealing that it was Captain Irving.'' With a face of surprise, Abbie saw it was her superior, and then she calmed down and put her gun down. Abbie swayed her head a little bit. With a smile, Abbie nodded and let out a sigh. With a serious face, Irving then left the room, leaving Abbie alone. ''After a short time of silence, Abbie turned back and lifted the wood from the floor. She immediately took the files and went away.''
 * Irving: What's wrong, Mills?
 * 105Frank.pngAbbie: Sorry. I'm a little jumpy. The guy who lived here took off running when he got a visit from me and Crane, so I don't know what to expect...
 * Irving: But you have a theory. I know that look. You've caught a scent.
 * Abbie: Maybe. Don't know where it leads. Everett and Williams knew each other. Both worked at the comptroller's office.
 * Irving: One had a heart attack, the other drove into a tree.
 * Abbie: Not exactly a pattern, I know.
 * Irving: Not yet, but there's something else, or you wouldn't be on it.
 * Abbie: We will find the truth.
 * Ichabod: I hope so. Look, if you think there's something to sniff out here, go for it. I trust your instincts.
 * Abbie: Thank you... sir.

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Archives 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 30 minutes later 

''After returning back to the Archives, Ichabod, Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice all went there to do a research on the files retrieved from the house of Williams. Soon, they found a reason behind all of this.''
 * Abbie: Williams and Everett discovered an embezzlement scheme planned by the Westchester County comptroller, Arthur Weissman. Now, he is out to siphon county employees' pension plans and steal millions.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: And they sought to stop him...

''Hearing this, Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice looked at each other, apalled. Sister Mary Eunice turned her head away and started to rub her knuckles in stress.'' ''Abbie put her hand on her cheek as she finished viewing the files found on Williams' house, which were detailing the blight that Williams and Everett were about to expose. Ichabod calmed himself down before falling into silence, which was unnerving.'' Then, having himself fully calmed down, Ichabod sighed. ''Hearing this, Abbie lit her eyes up, looking at Ichabod with curiousity, and Sister Mary Eunice had the same reaction as well. Both women felt surprised to see this.'' Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice both looked at Ichabod nervously. Ichabod then looked at Abbie. ''Abbie did not answer. Instead, she pointed at the file in her hand. She stood up from her chair and approached Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice.'' ''Abbie then present Ichabod one of the files, showing a photo of Susan James on it. Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice looked closer on the case file carefully.'' ''Ichabod, Sister Mary Eunice and Abbie looked at each other with widened eyes. The situation turned more and more critical.''
 * Sister Mary Eunice: ... to remove a blight on their community, just like the heroic spies who sought to topple General Howe as he bled dry the city of New York.
 * Ichabod: And now the very same traitorous wretch who silenced my fellows seeks once again... to remove a secret before it can be brought to light!
 * Ichabod: ......
 * Ichabod: The truth is, the creature's shadows brought forth a secret of which I have not spoken to another soul.
 * Hungary.full.931770.jpgSister Mary Eunice: Crane?
 * Ichabod: I was captured, brought forth to General Howe. He and Christine offered me a full pardon if I give him a list of names of Washington's spies. So I took quill in hand... and, uh...
 * Abbie: You didn't do it.
 * Ichabod: No, I escaped, put the whole thing behind me, but the thought had been there, the intention. It was a moment of doubt that has plagued me since.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: But in the end you did the right thing.
 * Ichabod: And what about you? Did you feel... anything?
 * Abbie: There are more urgent secrets that we need to deal with. A secretary named Susan James helped Williams and Everett get the informations that they needed.
 * Abbie: She helped them to build their case. We need to help her do the right thing.
 * Ichabod: Is it possible this crooked politician conjured the soul of Christine, so that she brought the wraith to concel his scheme? As far as I know, Christine is the only one who had the authority to order Marcus to do those dirty work.
 * Abbie: Right now, who did it doesn't matter. If the wraith is targeting anyone who knows this secret, she is next.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Next but not last.  You cracked this case, lieutenant, and in doing so, you let us in on their secret. The Whispering Wraith may threaten Susan James, but now we know the secret. It will most certainly come for us.

''Chained deep inside her cell while closing her eyes, Christine had a vision of Susan James inside her own mind. Susan James was a pale woman with long black hair. After finishing her observation, Christine began to chant as she slowly opened her eyes.'' ''​Narrowing her eyes in sheer malice, Christine bit her lips before licking it. She let out a sigh as she found Ichabod and Abbie protecting Susan.'' ''Behind Christine, the wraith shadow of Marcus Collins began to emerge, as Christine started to chuckle. She then turned to Moloch with a grin. She could saw Ichabod feeling uneasy about his dark past, before she closed her eyes in nothing but retaliation.''
 * Christine: I have a little shadow / that goes in and out with me / and what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
 * Christine: Now, it is you who push yourself into all of this, Crane, and you shall not be spared. This town needs holes to create a perfect beehive, and allow me to conceal the secret... and make more holes on it.
 * Christine: Crane, you should feel ashame. Your dark past shall never cease. It could be ignored, but its effects shall haunt you till your last days on Earth... for the true nature behind all of those dark pasts was always  haunting .

<p style="text-align:center;"> 20 minutes later 

As the time runs dry, Ichabod, Sister Mary Eunice and Abbie started to orchastrate with their plan against the Whispering Wraith and protect the last person (other than themselves) that held the secret.

''Under the insruction of Sister Mary Eunice, Ichabod placed the LED lights around the safe house they prepared inside a large storeroom. Soon, as everything was prepared, Abbie walked in the room with a woman with black hair following her. It was Suman James. She was apalled to see the hall which was surrounded by lights.'' Abbie then showed the lights to Susan. ''Just as they were discussing the thing, Ichabod walked towards Susan James and greeted her with a polite tone. Sister Mary Eunice was still standing in her position, taking notes from the files as she read through them.'' ''Susan looked at Abbie and was confused, but Abbie nodded to her with encouragement. Then, Abbie walked to Sister Mary Eunice, who was still looking at the books.'' Abbie crossed her arm with dismay. Just then, Susan, who was already sitting at a bench not far away, looked at Abbie with distraught, as Ichabod approached Sister Mary Eunice and stood beside her. ​Abbie reacted with a smile. Suddenly, much to everyone's shock, the light beside them had been flashing violently. Abbie turned to Sister Mary Eunice and Ichabod. ''​Sister Mary Eunice then started to approach the power source as the light turned back to normal. Ichabod and Abbie then prepared their gun, before Ichabod followed Sister Mary Eunice's footstep. He wanted to eliminate the traitor by himself.'' ''Soon, the lights started to flash again. Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice, who had turned into her angelic form, started to approach the generator, as Susan sat on her position nervously.''

 * Abbie: Your coworkers died because of the secrets that you shared. We're gonna make sure that nothing happens to you.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_27_37--20171005-144825-3-.pngIchabod: Ms. James, welcome. My name is Ichabod Crane. Please stay within the light. Danger may lurk in the shadows.
 * Abbie: Tell me you're close to finding a way to stop this thing.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: There are many methods cited to dispelling shadow beings, but unless you have an arrow blessed by one of the high priests of Angkor...
 * -美国恐怖故事--第二季-第5-00_21_42--20170320-234252-1-.pngAbbie: Yeah, well, not on short notice.
 * Abbie: Are you certain that, as long as these lights stay on, he can't get in?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Theoretically, yes. These lights should keep him at bay. The wraith draws power from the shadows. Without them, he should be at a disavantage.
 * Abbie: Let's hope it buys us enough time to, uh, figure out how to get rid of him permenantly.
 * Susan: How long am I supposed to stay here? When can I get my statement?
 * Abbie: Trust me when I tell you that... this is... all for your safety.
 * Susan: I just want to be done with it, all of it. The weight of carrying a secret like this, it's deliberating.
 * Abbie: Believe me, I know.
 * Abbie: What's that?
 * Abbie: Was that short in the line?
 * Sister Mary Eunice: I shall go and see. Ichabod, come with me
 * Abbie: Be careful. It wants us as much as it wants her.

''When the duo headed towards the generator, they saw a smoke-like shadow flowing in the light, and then Ichabod fired gun at the shadow. However, it proved no use.'' Sister Mary Eunice leaped forward, raising her light sword and tried to cut the shadow, but the shadow dodged her attack and rushed towards the generator.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Allow me.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: NO!

''Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice were both shocked and tried to stop it, but it was too late. Under the mind instruction of Christine via her hive-mind power, the wraith attacked the generator, deliberately destroying it.''

''The spark started to blew out and the generator began to explode. Ichabod could not approach. Sister Mary Eunice tried to attack the wraith, but she could not pierce through its physical body under the protection of the thick layer of shadows, and she could not help when the generator bursted into flames.''

When the wraith released Sister Mary Eunice and slipped to somewhere, the two could only watch as the generator bursted into sparkles and flames.

''With the generator sabotaged, the entire storeroom was plundged into the darkness. The only light in the room was from outside.''

''The room was plunged into silence and darkness, and Sister Mary Eunice immediately used her light sword to enlight the room, but soon she found herself being powerless, as the light sword was much dimmer than she thought. Ichabod was looking around for the trace of the wraith.'' ''With horror, Sister Mary Eunice then realized that it was only three days had past since all of their previous confrontations against Michael, Colin, Caspar, Christine and the resurrected dark witch coven came one by one in just a few days, which largely consumed her power. She needed a week to recover, and using the Sword of Light at this time will cost a lot of her power.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_31_28--20171005-151445-7-.pngSister Mary Eunice: No...

''However, Sister Mary Eunice did not let down her guards. She soon turned back to Ichabod, only to find the wraith floating right behind him.'' ''Shocked, Ichabod then turned back and saw the wraith of Marcus floating behind him, as he suddenly had his mind returned back to the past. He was like still sitting in front of a desk and holding a quill, while Howe was threatening him in a angry look.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_31_32--20171005-152136-8-.pngSister Mary Eunice: Ichabod, behind you!
 * Howe: (voice) Give us the names. The names, Crane!!!

Ichabod immediately shook his head and snapped out of his vision, before he start looking at Marcus with full of resentments. ''​The wraith immediately wipped Ichabod with its gaseous whip, and Ichabod was slammed on the ground. As the wraith was apporaching him, Sister Mary Eunice sliced the whip with her sword, before confronting the wraith. She was in a disavantage since her power did not recover back completely.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_33_25--20171005-123101-1-.pngIchabod: Damn you, foul creature. My secrets are my own!

''Then, during this fight full of disavantage, Ichabod spotted a box of pipes beside him. He immediately stood up and went for the pipe. He picked up one of them, which had a pointy side on it.''

''As the wraith deflected Sister Mary Eunice from it, Ichabod immediately stood between them, while pointing the pointy tip of the pipe to the wraith. It was definitely sharp enough to stabbed throgh someone.'' ''Ichabod tried to whip his pipe to Marcus, but he cannot hit the wraith. It immediately dodged the attack before sending numerous ropes made of darkness and pointed them at Ichabod. Sister Mary Eunice went on to cut the ropes, but still some of them soon went through Ichabod's chest and caused him to crouch in pain. Sister Mary Eunice turned back in horror.'' ''As she was attacked by Marcus, Sister Mary Eunice tried to use her light power again to expell the monster from her, but she soon felt stressed and collapsed on the ground. Her power was running out, and she started to cough blood that was like liquid gold. It was unfortunate that Sister Mary Eunice was not fully recovered from the injuries caused by Christine's brutal attack, and after her overuse of her power again, things went worse for her.'' ''​Fortunately, Abbie arrived at the place after assuring the safety of Susan James, and she threw a illuminating projectile to the wraith. It exploded and expelled the wraith from Ichabod and Sister Mary Eunice, before Abbie went to the two to look after them.'' ​As the trio was gathering together, Marcus soon regained his conciousness and turned to them.
 * Ichabod: Go back. Back to whatever shadow you crawled from!
 * Girl-white-angel.jpgSister Mary Eunice: Ichabod!
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_32_19--20171005-154212-0-.pngAbbie: LET GO OF THEM!
 * Abbie: Sister? Crane? Stay with me, stay with me...

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Marcus: Secrets kill... '

''As Marcus was approaching the trio again, Abbie threw another illuminating projectile to the wraith, blocking it away. Abbie covered the two as they hid themselves behind the shelves and boxes. Sister Mary Eunice turned back to her nun form and hid her light away in order to restore her power.'' ​Just then, Abbie immediately widened her eyes and had an idea. ''Ichabod narrowed his eyes and turned to look at the creature again as it continued to look for its victims hiding in shadows. For now, it had no intentions to find Susan James, since she was sitting far away and the Team Witness drew its attention first.'' ''​Abbie spotted Marcus approaching them again. She threw a third illuminating projectile to the creature as Ichabod and Abbie covered their eyes. (Sister Mary Eunice had no necessity to do so.) The creature then was repelled back once again because to the burst of light. Sister Mary Eunice seized the chance and spoke to Ichabod.'' ''​Ichabod then started to take a deep breath and sighed. He started to recall the events of that day.''
 * Ichabod: There is nowhere else for us to run. This creature will surely find us. We must find a way to defeat it.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: We must know his weakness we can exploit so we can escape unscathed.
 * Abbie: That's it! It wants secrets. Yours, mine, Betsy Ross'. If Betsy knew the same secrets as the spies were killed, WHY WAS SHE SPARED ?
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_32_47--20171005-155643-2-.pngIchabod: I did not see the creature that day. I had no idea it was responsible at that time.
 * Abbie: Look away.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: Abbie is right. Ichabod, the answer is in your memory of that day. Something Betsy did got it off her scent and can get it off of ours.
 * Ichabod: Yes, right, uh... Betsy was angry. I-I heard her shout...

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene that did not appear in LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horseman Saga - Seamstress (Prologue) 

<p style="text-align:center;"> In Ichabod's POV 

''​Ichabod was shocked to hear the voice of Betsy calling Marcus Collins' name. He turned to take a look at Betsy, but he did not see Marcus anywhere in the room.'' ​As Betsy continued to speak the name of that traitor, Ichabod could hear screeching noise coming from the darkness, but Betsy was still standing in the dark room, remained unharmed.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_32_59--20171005-122415-0-.pngBetsy: Come and face me, Marcus Collins!
 * Betsy: I'll have your head, Marcus Collins!

Nowadays
Suddenly, Ichabod realized the weakness and took a deep gasp. ​Then, as Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice was watching, Ichabod walked towards the wraith, who was floating on the sky and covered by darkness itself. With a serious face, ​Ichabod then started to approach the shadow and showed no fear to the creature. ''​Just as Ichabod spoke the full name of Marcus Collins, the wraith let out a deep screech and stepped back, just like how it reacted when Betsy yelled his full name to him. The creature covered its head and bellowed like a injured animal.'' ​Ichabod seemed quite amazed of himself, finding the weakness of the monster. ''​Then, he looked aside and let out a smirk, right before he faced the wraith once again. The more Ichabod called his name, the more the wraith was weakened.'' ''The wraith of Marcus continued to screech as its shadow began to shrink and hunched, and the gaseous shadows surrounding him disappeared. It was reduced back into his mortal form.'' ​As Ichabod finished his yell, the non-physical form of Marcus turned into his physical form, a bald, sallow man with a skull-like face and two hollowed eyes, looking at Ichabod with hatred while cursing him. Ichabod interrupted the word of Marcus as he looked at the weakened man with despise.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_33_25--20171005-123101-1-.pngIchabod: Remembering it now, when she said...  his name .

 * Ichabod: Huh, Marcus Collins...
 * Marcus: * screeching *
 * Ichabod: The traitorous wretch who betrayed his fellows. Marcus Collins!

 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_05--20171005-124225-2-.pngMarcus: Crane... Ms. Van Bilj asked for your favor, too... and you have once tempted. There... are no difference between me and you.
 * Ichabod: You're wrong.
 * Ichabod: You willing made a pact with evil. I had the same choice, but the outcome was different!

Ichabod's Flashback
<p style="text-align:center;"> Scene from LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horseman Saga - Seamstress (Prologue) 

<p style="text-align:center;"> September 22, 1776 

​Seated near the table while confronting General William Howe, the former British lieutenant, Ichabod Crane, was holding a quill-pen and looked at a paper in front of him.
 * CQz2e78UkAA99_G.jpgWilliam Howe: Give us the names.

''Once, Ichabod was one of the underlings within the encampment of Howe until he changed his mind and fought for the Patriots. Now, he was facing a choice once again...''

''Just some time ago, Ichabod was captured and brought forth to General Howe. In ruthlessness, Howe gave him a paper and a quill-pen in order to force Ichabod to write the names of the spies inside the British Army. He offered Ichabod a full pardon if he gave him a list of names of Washington's spies.''

''Ichabod once was like an apprentice to Howe. Ichabod saw Howe as an honorable and loyal man, a perfect general for his country. Ichabod respected the general very much even if they ended up as enemies.''

''Now, Howe was urging him to double-cross other colonial Patriots so that he could regain his rank, his fame, his former regiment's trust... not to mention that Christine, whom Ichabod always detested, was helping him.'' ​Standing beside Howe and dressed up in a lavish manner, Christine started to tempt Ichabod with the pardoning with a cruel smile.
 * Christine: Just listen to me, Crane. Given to our prior relationship, I have adviced General Howe to give you a chance to recant. After you recant and give us the names of the other spies, I promise we will have you pardoned.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_21_15--20171004-093818-9-.pngChristine: Even though our relationships was frosty, I know you need your family in London as much as they need you. You won't really serve Washington and betray your family, your country as well as the King himself, am I right? Therefore, give us the names and all of those matters will bygone. Don't test General Howe's patience.

''Then, even Ichabod himself felt surprised that he was unexpectedly being tempted by Howe's demand, tempted by the outcome that might be good for him... His hands were shivering. Howe was getting impatient.'' ''Ichabod just looked at Howe calmly. Then, his hand went closer and closer to the paper... until suddenly...'' ​Then, Ichabod threw the quill on the table, an obvious sign that he refused Howe's demand.
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_08--20171005-124321-3-.pngHowe: GIVE US THE NAMES!
 * Ichabod: I will never recant my decision to be an American.
 * Ichabod: I will never, never go back on my oath to fight for freedom against tyranny!
 * Howe: You!

''​After that, to Christine and Howe's surprise and sheer anger, Ichabod jumped from the chair and escaped through the window. Then, he managed to escape from Howe's minions. Christine looked at the door as Ichabod escaped.''
 * Christine: This is your choice, Ichabod.

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Christine: Guards! Kill him! '

Nowadays

 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_37--20171005-125725-7-.pngIchabod: I was offered clemency by the enemy, but I did not accept it, because I hold firm and YOU DO NOT!

''With a deranged yell, Marcus immediately rushed to Ichabod and pushed it on the ground. The two then started to fight in combat.''

''Looking at each other briefly, Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice seized the chance and rushed to Marcus. Abbie raised the pipe from the ground and puched the spine of Marcus.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_41--20171005-125507-6-.pngAbbie: You die!

Enraged, Marcus stood up pushed Abbie away, and started to approach Abbie, but Sister Mary Eunice used her wings to fling on Marcus, pushing him on the ground.

''Just as Marcus was about to fight back, Abbie gave Ichabod the pipe before she and Sister Mary Eunice drew Marcus' attantion. However, Marcus pushed Abbie away and ignored Sister Mary Eunice, as he went straight towards Ichabod... before having his chest impaled by the pipe.'' ''The wraith power on Marcus had faded, and the person who made him into a wraith was in Purgatory could not recover his abilities any longer. Therefore, Marcus was no difference to a mortal man, not to mention being utterly vulnerble. Therefore, when Ichabod pulled the pipe out, Marcus could only watch as his rotten flesh began to turn into dust, before he finally disappeared forever.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_44--20171005-130825-9-.pngIchabod: Send Christine my best regards.

''Watching as Marcus died for good, Ichabod had finally succeeded in avenging those warriors who was betrayed and killed by the traitor. Ichabod then look at Abbie and Sister Mary Eunice as he dropped the pipe on the ground.'' The trio then look around as they won another fight and solved another case once again, but they all knew that it was not the end. ''​She was clearly referring to the corruption case. Since the only witness to the incident was safe, the Team Witness were now free to expose the corrupt politician and bring him into justice.''
 * 断头谷.Sleepy.Holl-00_34_56--20171005-130806-8-.pngIchabod: Thanks, ladies.
 * Abbie: It appars that the threat has passed.
 * Sister Mary Eunice: All that's left is to bring one more secret into the light.

<p style="text-align:center;"> The Next Day 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Corbin's House 

''Sitting in the yard of Corbin silently, Ichabod was thinking all the things occuring these days, as well as those monsters he endured. Many of them are from his past, including the Headless Horseman, Christine Van Bilj, the Byzantine Parang and Marcus Collins.''

''Meanwhile, another secret was exposed and caused a great amount of influence in the town. The scandal involved with Arthur Weissman had now been spread throughout the headline article in the town, and he also confessed that he was involved with some sort of satanic cult activities, which summoned a dire wraith to kill anyone who was trying to expose him, causing the deaths of both Paul Everett and Richard Williams.''

However, as there was no proof that any satanic cult existed in the town of Sleepy Hollow, the police did not pay any more attention to this.

''Even so, on behalf of the mayor, Phyllis Parker, the most renowned prosecutors in the town, held a modest press conference, claiming that she would take actions and seek out the truth behind all this, so that the town of Sleepy Hollow will be safe once again. She considered Arthur being sane and would turn him into police before getting to the bottom of these ghastly cases.''



''Nevertheless, only twenty minutes later after the case closed, it was reported that Arthur Weissman was murdered by several masked gangsters who attacked the police force and killed him, clearly wanting to shut him up. The gangsters refused to turn themselves in and were all shot in sight.''

''After reading the news, Ichabod felt there could be a greater conspiracy behind all of those evil crimes, even behind a corrupt crime inside a petty official. Ichabod was determined that one day, he shall find out the true mastermind of all those evil events and saved his wife from Purgatory.''

''Just as Ichabod was thinking, he heard the door was opened. Abbie then walked out of the door and went towards Ichabod, before sitting beside him.'' As Abbie began to sat down, Ichabod thought for a while and then he sighed. After showing three fingers to Abbie one by one for the three things he said, Ichabod sighed and shrugged his shoulder casually. ''​As Abbie finished her words, she lowed down her head, somehow in shame. Ichabod closed his eyes and he did not see her expression. He then opened his eye, and lifted the cup of whiskey in his hand.'' Then, Ichabod lowed down his head again. ''​Ichabod then took a sip of whiskey and waved his arms slightly. He felt that he never been so carefree before, as if all of his burdens on his back disappeared in just one second...'' ''​Abbie looked at Ichabod as her smile faded. Ichabod did not know what Abbie was thinking, and he looked at her with curiousity.'' ''​Abbie let out a sigh. She was almost letting her darkest secret out from her tongue, but she then looked away, much to Ichabod's confusion.'' ​Trying to avoid the further talk, Abbie silently closed her eyes and sighed.
 * Abbie: This whole Marcus Collins thing is still bothering you?
 * Ichabod: Oh, um... yes, I defied General Howe. Yes, I refused to bewray my fellow spies... but I did consider the option.
 * Rforogief.gifIchabod: Now, what does that say about me?
 * Abbie: That means you are a human being, like the rest of us, and when the chip came down, you did the right thing.
 * Ichabod: Hmm... to which we always thrive.
 * Ichabod: Nevertheless, the shame of that moment stuck for centuries.
 * Abbie: Hmm...
 * Ichabod: It's all the more reason why settling in this time so important, and of course, having people like you by my side, it's the greatest boon.
 * Ichabod: Hmm... the weight of a secret lifted. It's very freeing.
 * Abbie: Crane...
 * Abbie: It is hard to say... but you'll know one day.

Act ?6 (final) - The Sandman


<p style="text-align:center;"> The next day 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Westchester County Police Department 

''A day after the case concerning Marcus Collins had closed, the town seemed to become quieter, but unfortunately, things will not get quiet forever in Sleepy Hollow. Inside the Police Department after midnight, Abbie rushed into the scene when she had received a phone call from Captain Frank Irving. She immediately rushed to the police department when she saw Irving standing in front of her.'' ''Abbie walked to Irving, who immediately accompanied her to the cell. Beside her, there was another woman in middle ages, with long brown hair and thick lips. The doctor was following the two into the corridor.'' ''In a rapid pace, Irving start walking through the corridor. He then looked at the woman behind her as he introduced her to Abbie.'' ''Abbie turned her head back and looked at the woman. They shook their hands warmly.'' Abbie then turned to Irving as the three continued walking to their destination. ''Irving finished the words before he entered the cell. A confused look started to surface on Abbie's face.'' ''Irving did not answer, this time. As the three entered the room beside the cell, Abbie could hear the voice of Ichabod coming from the cell.'' ''As Irving and the doctor stood beside the glass window and looked at the scene where Ichabod interrogating the suspect, Abbie stopped as well. She saw Ichabod's back, but she cannot see the face of the suspect for now. As Ichabod was still speaking to the suspect, the doctor started her analysis.'' ​The doctor looked at Irving once again before she continued. ''Abbie heard the word "she" and looked at the doctor with curiousity. The doctor then looked at Abbie with a face of seriousness. Abbie reacted in an unnerving expression before she heard Ichabod's voice.'' ''Ichabod walked to the side and looked at the suspect... before the face of the suspect was revealed... and Abbie saw her through the glass window.''
 * Abbie: I came as soon as I got the call. What's going on?
 * Irving: Sorry to pull in this late. We just tracked down our perp.
 * Irving: Lieutenant, this is the doctor I mentioned.
 * Abbie: Yes, forensic psychologist?
 * Doctor: That's right.
 * Abbie: Nice to meet you.
 * Abbie: Where's Crane?
 * Irving: He's already interrogating the suspect.
 * Abbie: What do you mean? Crane's interrogating the suspect?
 * Ichabod: We know that you saw more than you admitted. Tell us. We mean you no harm.
 * Doctor: The suspect is obviously teeing up an insanity defense.
 * IMG_7747.pngDoctor: She's smart. She knows exactly what's she doing.
 * Abbie: She?
 * Ichabod: Why is that? Why are you deceiving us? What did you see?

It was a younger version of Abbie herself.

<p style="text-align:center;"> - Ichabod: ABBIE!!!

''Ichabod ranted out his words which startled the suspect... or the young Abbie herself. Meantime, Abbie could not believe her eyes. She looked at Irving with shock.'' Abbie looked at the younger version of herself before she shook her head in confusion. Abbie then looked at Irving, who reacted in a poker face. ''Feeling more and more intensed, Abbie immediately turned back and opened the door of the cell, but when she entered the cell, she saw Ichabod sitting on the chair. Her younger self had disappeared.''
 * Abbie: What is going on here?
 * Irving: We finally caught Abigail Mills, mostly thanks to the good doctor here.
 * Abbie: Caught? I don't understand. She didn't do anything wrong...
 * Abbie: Did she?
 * Irving: I think you know the answer to that.

''Ichabod... or something that impersonated the real Ichabod Crane... looked at Abbie with his eyes cold and emotionless.'' ''As the eyes of "Ichabod" started to turn white, Abbie then heard a "bang" from behind. She was startled and immediately rushed to the door, trying to open it with all her might. It was locked up, unfortunately.'' ''Strangely, Irving did not answer. Abbie tried hard to open the door. She turned back to the interrogation seat and reacted in horror. No one was on the seat.'' ''Abbie tried to get to another door and push it with her might. Unfortunately, that door was locked as well. Abbie started to struggle in despair.'' ''In desperation, Abbie turned back and saw the creature impersonating Ichabod standing right behind her, with his eyes turned white. Horrified Abbie tried so hard to struggle as she reached yet another locked door.'' ''Abbie went to the glass window and tried to punch the window, before she suddenly saw something coming towards her via the reflection... She turned back with horror.''
 * 103Promo4.jpgod (???): Stop lying, Abbie. The truth will set you free.
 * Abbie: What's going on? Captain?
 * Abbie: THE DOOR'S LOCKED! SIR!!!
 * Abbie: Let me out of here! Someone let me out of here!
 * Abbie: Let me out! Let me out! Let me out! LET ME OUT OF HERE!

Reality
<p style="text-align:center;"> Abbie's House 

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5:25 AM 

''Lying on her bed, Abbie was suddenly awakened by the nightmare as she heard her own cell phone ringing madly. Abbie looked around and found herself on her bed, realizing that she was dreaming. Just then, she noticed her cell phone as she was looking at her alarm clock.''

''It was 5:25 AM. Abbie did not continue to look at the clock. She fetched her phone and answered the call.'' Trying to regain her own sense, Abbie nodded.
 * Abbie: Hello? This is Mills.
 * Caller: [Dispatcher. Emergency response has requested you at 3rd and Main.]
 * Abbie: On my way.

<p style="text-align:center;"> 3rd and Main 

<p style="text-align:center;"> Dr. Vega's House

<p style="text-align:center;"> 5 minutes later

''The destination of Abbie was now surrounded by police forces. Police cars had been surrounding the area, and the area was blocked from the passer-by. When Abbie had arrived at the scene, she found the real Ichabod there as well. She then dicussed with him about her dream as they approached to the incident scene.'' Ichabod looked at Abbie with confusion, and Abbie's answer caused him to have a large sweat drop on his forehead. ''Just as they were approaching, Abbie heard Captain Irving's voice calling her name from not far away. Abbie rushed to the police captain.'' ''Irving looked up at an apartment in front of him. Abbie and Ichabod looked up as well, seeing a woman in nightgown standing right outside the window, leaning to the wall beside the window. It was apparent that in a matter of time, she would jump from the building and killed herself.'' ''Hearing this, Abbie widened her eyes in surprise, since she could not understand why a doctor she never knew would know her name and demanded to talk to her. Ichabod was curious as well, and he immediately asked Irving.'' ''Irving answered in a serious tone that no one could find any words to reject him. Abbie then had no choice but went into the department. She walked on the stairs and reached the window, looking outside at the woman who was about to commit suicide. For now, Dr. Vega did not look at Abbie. Therefore, Abbie could not see her face clearly.'' ''Dr. Vega did not answer. Beneath the building, Irving and Ichabod looked at the two above, wanting to know what will happen next and the rescue operation would have any progress.'' ''Dr. Vega did not look at Abbie. She only look aside while mumbling something strange in her mouth.'' As she was talking, Dr. Vega slowly turned her head to Abbie.
 * Ichabod: What kind of dream?
 * Abbie: A really weird one... You were in it.
 * Ichabod: Oh? And what, pray tell, was I doing in your dream?
 * Abbie: Freaking me out even more than usual.
 * Irving: Mills?
 * Abbie: What is it, captain?
 * Irving: Do you know Dr. Mara Vega?
 * Abbie: No. Should I?
 * Irving: We have our crisis responders up there now trying to talk her down, but she doesn't want to speak to anyone except, apparently, you.
 * Ichabod: Why Lt. Mills?
 * Irving: That's why I need  her to find out.
 * Abbie: Dr. Vega?
 * Abbie: I'm Lt. Abigail Mills. You want to speak to me?
 * Dr. Vega: It's my fault. Everything she saw was real. I believed her and yet I lied. I should have told the truth.
 * Abbie: About what? Who are you talking about, Doc?

<p style="text-align:center;">' - Dr. Vega: Your sister Jenny. '

''Abbie reacted in shock when she heard the words of the doctor, but what even more surprised her was the face of the doctor. She immediately recognized Dr. Vega as the same female doctor inside her nightmare she had minutes ago, and Abbie was horrified to see Dr. Vega's eyes. Her eyes was completely white, as if it had no pupils.'' Dr. Vega then leaned forward to the empty air in front of her... ''Horrified, Abbie tried to stop the suicidal attempt, but it was too late. As Ichabod and Irving stepped back in shock, as many citizens surrounding the place started to scream, Dr. Vega fell onto the ground in an accelerated speed, until she fell on a car beneath the apartment.''
 * Dr. Vega: It's my fault, Abbie. I deserve it. I've had it coming a long time.  We all have. 
 * Abbie: Wait, don't!

When the police officers on the ground started to approached Dr. Vega, they found out that she was, no doubt, dead.

Lyrics
Child of the wildness

born into the emptiness

Learn to be lonely

Learn to find your way in the darkness

Who will be there for you

Comfort and care for you

Learn to be lonely

Learn to be your one companion

Ever dream out in the world,

there are arms to hold you.

You always know your heart was on it’s own

So laugh in your loneliness,

Child of the wildness,

Learn to be lonely,

Learn how to love,

Life that is lived alone

Learn to be lonely,

Life can be lived,

Life can be loved

Alone

In the Next Episode...


<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Irving: No one sees or goes near the body until I say. You understand? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Ichabod: Thank you for seeing me, Ms. Jenny. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Irving: Who hung this in my office? Five people are dead, including two of your own, and you think, just because you heard a rumor of about a Headless Horseman running around town, it's all a big joke? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Mr. Gillesipie: You can't help me. He's coming to you next. ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - The Sandman: Did you see him? ''



<p style="text-align:center;">'' - Ichabod: The things one most tries to hide are often the things most easily seen... which is why I'll add, "Yes, you do need to see your sister." ''

Afterwords

 * From Officer: You might be surprised to see the main story came out to a release instead of the spinoff. Due to the plan of implanting a two-part Halloween-themed Episode (which could be released by November or before December if possible) as the sub arc finale of LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Horsemen Saga - Death Arc: Haunting Past Sub Arc, the spinoff of Firenza Junior need to have a hiatus for at least five episodes before returning back to the cycle and filling these episodes.
 * From Prime: Another special is prepared! The first part of our latest special is released: LOTM: Sword of Kings Special: Tales of a Lost Hero - Part 1. The second part and the MAD Episode will be released soon! Let's wait and see!
 * From CIS: This episode have no MAD Section... because of what happened recent... the mass shooting happened in Las Vegas on October 1, 2017. In memories of these victims, the MAD Section in this episode would be excluded for 2 episodes. Allow us, alongside good and pacifistic people all around the world, to share our condolense towards the relatives of the victims.
