Previously: The gang is facing their deepest fears inside the Cincinnati catacombs. How many will come out alive from this final confrontation with the Lake Lady?
Lorie: “ Please Mom, Whatever you do, do NOT talk to that lady ok? Just get out and run!
Lake Lady: “ In the moonlit haze, where shadows creep,
A chilling tale, from nightmares steep.
“You think you beat me?” echoes from the dead,
As darkness whispers, filling the air with dread.
Through twisted corridors of the mind,
A haunting riddle, an enigma to find.
Your mother’s fate, a cryptic thread,
Lorie tonight your mother will be dead!”
As Lake Lady concluded her unsettling verse, Lorie found herself engulfed in the harrowing symphony of her mother’s screams. The twisted entity seemed to be siphoning the life from her through her mouth. The helplessness clung to Lorie like a suffocating fog, rendering her incapable of action. All she could do was pray and cling to her phone, yearning for the reassurance that everything would be fine, that the horrors would subside. Abruptly, the cries and tears ceased, replaced by a deadly silence that stretched into the unknown. Lorie’s desperate pleas for her mother echoed in the void, unanswered and swallowed by the ominous stillness.
Lorie: “Mom! Mom! Answer me, please!”
Yet, her mother remained silent. Instead, as footsteps drew near the phone, the sinister voice of the Lake Lady shattered the oppressive stillness.
Lake Lady: “Lorie, I’ve got a question for you. Can you guess the darkest sin of all the humans I’ve encountered through the centuries I’ve been around?”
Lorie: “What did you do to my mother? You’re supposed to be dead!”
Lake Lady: “Answer me, Lorie.”
Lorie: “I don’t know.”
Lake Lady’s voice echoed, filled with a chilling revelation
Lake Lady: “Ungratefulness, Lorie. People are ungrateful. They always want more and more, while I just ask for a simple thing. Some may find it simple, others not. Look at the rest, I made ’em rich, rescued ’em from war’s jaws, steered ’em clear of drug nightmares, just asked for one little thing, and those ungrateful bastards couldn’t deliver. That’s why you were special, Lorie. I needed your mother so I could keep on living through the centuries, feeding on people’s ungratefulness. In a way, you keep me alive. Did you ever wonder, when we first met, if the sacrifice of those people was worth it? You didn’t care. Ungrateful as sin, you just kept living your beautiful life, Lorie. And when the time came to return the favor, as an ungrateful sinner, you tried to kill me. But I always have the piece of rope around my neck, Lorie. Because I know how ungrateful humans can be.”
And the phone went dead. That marked the final conversation between Lorie and her mom. It was also the last encounter with the Lake Lady. Her haunting words clung to Lorie’s mind, a never-ending echo. She pondered the ungratefulness, having already lost her boyfriend and mom. Many times, she wished she never sought Lake Lady’s help at the lake. Would things have taken a darker turn if the Lake Lady hadn’t interfered back then?
These thoughts twisted in Lorie’s mind like sharp spines, piercing again and again until her death.
She couldn’t shake the wondering—could she strike another deal with the Lake Lady now that she had nothing left to lose? Lorie was trying to summon her in the middle of the night, but the Lake Lady never appeared again. Maybe, this was the worst punishment, even worse than losing her loved ones.
Final Episode: Lake Lady is still alive and reveals to Lorie the biggest sin of people. That was the last time Lorie heard the voice of Lake Lady, and she was doomed to spend the rest of her life alone after losing all the people she had ever loved.
