Chapter: Chapter 36 - I'm Not Doing This Anymore— Darren —I was pacing for the thousandth time the length of the small room inside the cabin we set base in.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty- NineThere was the beginning of a baby bump under my wedding dress. Given the circumstances, our outdoor plan for a wedding failed. We did manage to get a few good pictures in the snow though.A few of my extended family came. Annie was back to a retreat in Mexico and I hadn’t had much news from her for a while now, and had not been able to tell her of the change of date yet. I wasn’t exactly sad about it. I didn’t have many friends who took a plane for my wedding, which was understandable, but a few came, which was nice.

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-SevenI instinctively backpedalled into Xander’s warmth. There was a burning sensation on my wrist, and I dropped Eloim’s hand to cradle my wrist closer to my chest.At that moment, both my ankles were pulled on. Xander held on to me and got dragged a few feet forwards.“Enola, enough,” he boomed.

Chapter: Chapter Thrity-SixAfter that, people arrived in rapid succession.It was decided that the best thing would be to give a child dose of sleeling pills and have Eloim sleep through the whole process. The EMT, Johnny, could monitor him all the way through to make sure everything would be fine.In our afternoon Xander and I had googled a few known cases of children behind exorcised and cases like Anneliese Michel had hau

Chapter: Chapter Thirty-FiveThere was a strange clacking that came from the room, it sounded like a drum roll only on resounding wood instead of drum skins.Xander opened the bedroom in one smooth motion and ran in without any hesitations.There was a massive back mass in the corner of the room as I came in. Xander honed on Eloim who was cowering in a corner, sobbing. Miki was trying to chase the mass away, but it was not wor

She’s trying to kill her. She’s terrifying my son. This has to stop.”Eloim was sleeping on a sofa not too far from us, with a blanket covering is little frame.

Chapter: Chapter 80 - The Beginning— Elaeya —I woke in a familiar hospital room. Kaden was there. I tried to smile and tell him I was okay and to wipe those worries off his face, but the words caught it my throat.
