Haunted

Demon House

We get back to our house around one that afternoon only to find that Cady and Steve weren't even there. Jack grabbed his phone from his back pocket and dialed Steve's number. "Hey, where are you? Is everything alright, we are back at the house," He asked with concern in his voice. "We just went and grabbed something to eat Cady and I are on our way back right now," Steve explained. "Okay, we will wait outside until you two to get here before we go inside," 

"Sounds good we will be there in a little bit,"

"See you in a bit then,"

Hanging up the phone Jack turns his attention back to Father Mike and me. "They went to get something to eat, they are on their way back now, I told them we would wait for them to get here before we went inside just in case there was something that happened last night,"

"That's a good idea no telling what happened while we were gone. I just know that I slept like a baby," I admitted. "So did I even with my back being sliced and diced hours before," He chuckled. "I'm glad you both got some sleep because you are going to need all of your strength dealing with this demon," Father Mike pointed out.

We didn't have to wait outside long before Steve and Cady pulled up. "Good thing you decided to wait out here instead of going inside," Steve quipped as he gets out of his pickup. "Why is that," Emily asked.

Steve just smiled as Cady said. "Let's just say your roommate was severely upset by you two leaving last night and he couldn't go with you he decided to throw a temper tantrum,"

"So what your saying is that he can't follow us when we leave," Jack rejoiced. "Yes and no," Steve said, taking a deep breath as to contemplate how he was going to word what he was about to tell us. "You left last night with just some clothes and he couldn't follow you, that's good because he wasn't attached to you or anything you brought with you. The bad thing is if you do decide to move you would have to leave all of your belongings here or run the risk of taking whatever he is attached to with you ergo taking the demon with you,"

Emily turns to Jack and cried "Jack, I don't want to move my mom left me this house when she passed away, I was raised here, I'm not leaving," 

"I know babe I don't want to either, but I don't want you to get hurt,"

"I don't want you hurt either, but Jack I can't leave this house, it's all I have left of my parents,"

Jack turned to look at Cady, Steve, and Father Mike. "I guess we are going to fight for our house back," He announced. "Is there a way to find what the demon is attached to and destroy it,"

" There is we could go around sprinkling holy water on all your things but you must remember that you might have already gotten rid of what this demon was attached to," Father Mike replied. "You're saying that the demon might have attached itself to Andrew Hughs so he could leave the house in Grand Mountain," Emily shuddered with fear at the thought. "I am," Father Mike nodded solemnly. "Let me think for a little bit I'll let you know, just go I don't know," Emily mumbled as she walks off upset at the thought of losing her beloved childhood home. "Sorry," Jack yelled as he takes off chasing Emily down the street.

"Hey, Emily stop, please, let's talk, okay," Jack called," I know you don't want to leave the house, so let's see if we can get rid of this demon if not then we will cross that bridge then,"

Emily stopped and turned around to look at her husband and blubbered " Are you sure,"

"Yes babe I'm sure, now let's go tell everyone and kick that demon out of our house,"

Emily smiled, grabbed Jack's hand, and headed back to their house determined to kick the demon out of their beloved home. "What do we need to do to get my house back," Emily asked as we walked up to the house. Father Mike said "First, we need to say a prayer, then place holy water throughout the house," 

"What if that doesn't work," Jack asked. "Well, then we will have to perform an exorcism on the house," Father Mike informed us. "Hang on, you want us to help you with an exorcism on my house? We are not preachers, priests ugh whatever you are," Emily exclaimed. "Calm down Emily, all you will have to do is read a prayer that's all,"

"That's it, just read a prayer,"

"That's it, just stand in a circle and read a prayer,"

"Okay, let's start, then before I figure out how to talk myself out of it,"

After a prayer asking God to watch over us, we all file into the house to place crosses of holy water over the door frames and windows then sprinkle some over every piece of furniture throughout the house. The demon threw furniture at Father Mike, tried to drop a solid oak shelf on Cady, and tried to lock Steve in the basement. Thankfully Jack was close by to hear him screaming for help. When we were sure we had covered the entire house and furniture with holy water we left the house for the night. The next morning we met back up only to find out that all the hard work from the night before didn't work at all. "It looks like all we did was make it madder if that is even possible," Emily declared looking through a window. "Everything is thrown around the house worse than it was when we left it last night,"

"I guess it's time for plan b," Steve declared.
