**Chapter 20: Reckoning in the Woods**

Part 20

The sound of Harry's maniacal laughter echoed through the forest, sending shivers down our spines. Noa's eyes widened in fear as she clung to us, her grip tightening as if she never wanted to let go. We stood tall, our eyes locked on Harry, our hearts racing with anticipation. The air was thick with tension, and we could feel the weight of our reunion bearing down on us. "You're back," Harry sneered, his eyes gleaming with a mad light. "I didn't think that was possible. But I suppose I underestimated you." We took a step forward, our voices firm. "You underestimated the power of friendship and love," we said, our words dripping with conviction. "We may have been killed, but our bond remained unbroken. And now, we're back, and we're not going to let you get away with what you've done." Harry snorted, his grin growing wider. "You think you can stop me?" he taunted. "I've gotten away with murder, and I'll do it again. You're just a bunch of foolish hotels, thinking you can take on the great Harry." Noa stepped forward, her eyes flashing with anger. "You may have fooled us once," she said, her voice steady, "but we know the truth now. We know you're a monster, and you're going to pay for what you've done." Harry's laughter grew louder, more maniacal. He raised his hoe, and for a moment, we thought he was going to attack us. But then, he lowered it, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Oh, I don't think so," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "I have a surprise waiting for you. A surprise that will make you wish you'd never come back." With that, he turned and disappeared into the woods, leaving us staring after him in confusion. We looked at each other, our minds racing with questions. What did Harry have planned? What surprise could he possibly have in store for us? Noa's grip on our hands tightened. "We need to be careful," she whispered. "Harry's not going to go down without a fight." We nodded, our eyes scanning the woods. We could feel it too - a sense of foreboding, a sense that we were walking into a trap. But we were determined to see this through, to make sure that Harry paid for his crimes. As we stood there, trying to decide what to do next, we heard a rustling in the underbrush. We turned to see a figure emerging from the woods - a figure that made our hearts skip a beat. It was our sister, the hotel that had been missing all along. She looked pale and shaken, but her eyes sparkled with relief as she saw us. "I'm so glad you're back," she said, her voice trembling. "I was starting to think I'd never see you again." We rushed to her side, embracing her warmly. "We're back," we said, our voices filled with joy. "And we're not going to let Harry get away with what he's done." Our sister's eyes widened as she saw the determination in our eyes. "I'm with you," she said, her voice firm. "Let's take him down." Together, the five of us stood tall, ready to face whatever lay ahead. We knew it wouldn't be easy, but we were determined to see justice served. The game was far from over, and we were ready to play. As we ventured deeper into the woods, we stumbled upon a hidden clearing. In the center of the clearing stood an old, dilapidated cabin, its wooden boards weathered to a silvery gray. The windows were boarded up, and the door hung crookedly on its hinges. Harry's laughter echoed from within, sending a chill down our spines. We exchanged a glance, our hearts pounding in unison. It was time to face whatever lay ahead, together. With a deep breath, we stepped forward, ready to uncover the secrets that the cabin held.
