Chapter 23: The PurgeIt starts with a phone call: Wendel Wilson, husband of Kalantha and father of six, passes away early on Winterfest morning.
The Alvah's drop by the Wilson residence to pay their condolences and bring Wendel's tombstone home to the family graveyard. Unfortunately, no tombstone or urn is found.
Loario: "I'm so sorry, sweetie!"
Kalantha: "Oh, dad!"
Loario: "Why don't you come and join us at our house for Winterfest?"
Accordingly, they celebrate the holiday, which served somewhat as a distraction.
That is, until grief over his brother's death causes William to overdo it with his magic.
Despite their close bond, Morgaine can't help but laugh maniacally.
Morgaine: "The old fool! Messing with forces he hardly understood."
Perhaps it's only fitting that the two brothers would pass away on the same day, but that thought is hardly a comfort to anyone.
Then, on New Year's Eve, tragedy strikes again, in the most unexpected way.
Fiery Leila, happy Leila - with so much life yet to live - meets with a shocking fate.
While, beloved family pet Nimue finally passes of old age.
And Kalamainu'u? You may recall that she is none too fond of our little Whiskers.
A fateful bite leads to a deadly infection.
Leighton begins to panic. Who wouldn't, with so many back to back deaths in the family, and so many ghosts piling up in the graveyard?
Leighton: "Come with me; I have a plan."
Harrison: "Oh?"
Leighton: "First, we age up."
Leighton: "Then, we celebrate."
Leighton: "Get engaged."
Leighton: "And, when the time is right . . ."
Leighton: "We elope, get the frick away from this haunted house, and never, ever come back!"

Notes: While I intentionally killed off both Kalamainu'u and William - and let Nimue die of old age - Leila's death was truly an accident. I thought when I told Loario to use his insta-repair on it, the matter was concluded, but the audio device on the coffee table there bugged out and was unfixable. Leila came along and sat there trying to fix it for goodness knows only how long before it got her. 
The offending audio device was promptly deleted.
