Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 8
{Will you still love me.. When youâve met my demons}
âIâll have to run series of tests on her first buy for now, I still donât un-derstand whatâs wrong with herâ The doctor said after checking Moira
âBut is she still alive?â Vickie wanted to know
âSheâs alive.. her heart beat is normal and her breathing is as though she were slee-ping. What I donât un-derstand is why she looks like a wax workâ the doctor said
âWhat do you suggest we do while waiting for the test results?â Vickie asked
âCall a priest to pray for herâ the doctor replied
âThank you doctorâ
âIâll take my leave nowâ the doctor took his briefcase and walked out
âOh! My baby!â Vickie broke down in tears again
âSheâs going to be fineâ Deanna pacified. Her phone rang then she walked out to answer the call.
âHello Stefan!â Deanna called on getting o her room
đČ how was your night?
đ±Fine
đČ was your aunt mean to you when you opened the door?
đ±No.. she just wanted to check on me
đČ Alright then.. I just wanted to be sure youâre okay and also to remind you of our d@tÂŁ today
đ±Am not going to make it today
đČ Why?
đ±My auntâs daughter is sought of sick.. she isnât waking up
đČ Is she dead?
đ±No.. Her heart beat is normal and sheâs breathing perfectly well
đČ Have you called a doctor?
đ±Yes. Sheâs as confused as we are
đČ Maybe itâs spiritual. Call a priest or an exorcist
đ±Bruce alre-ady left to call the priest
đČ Am so sorry about that
đ±I just want her to wake up. Sheâs just too young to die. And even though sheâs all saucy.. sheâs a cute little darling
đČ Sheâs going to be fine.. call me if thereâs a new development..
đ±Alright
đČ See you tomorrow
đ±bye
Deanna hung up and placed her phone on her be-dside table. She fell back on the be-d wondering what couldâve happened to Moira. She looked fine and healthy the previous day.. Well, except for the night when she was all mommy! mommy! and crying. Maybe she was trying to tell her mom something was wrong with her. It reminded Deanna of the two weeks she had being asleep. Except she didnât look like a wax work.
Few hours later, Bruce returned with a priest.
âThe LORD be with your householdâ the priest made the sign of the cross at the door then sprinkled holy water on the door post before entering the house.
âwhere is the girl?â the priest asked Bruce
âSheâs still lying in her roomâ Bruce replied and led the priest to Moiraâs room.
Deanna and Vickie were sitting beside Moiraâs be-d when Bruce walked in with the priest.
âGood afternoonâ Deanna greeted the priest
âThe LORD be with youâ the priest replied. He glanced at Vickie who was crying profusely then he shifted his gaze to the wax looking, slee-ping Moira.
âItâs more of a spiritual cause than physicalâ
âwe thought as muchâ Bruce said
âHow did it start?â the priest asked
âShe went to be-d like every normal child but she didnât wake up again.. and she isnât dead eitherâ Bruce replied
âWas she poisoned?â The priest asked
âpoisoned? who couldâve poisoned her?â Bruce thought out loud
The priest moved closer to Moira and took her palm in his âsheâs getting coldâ
âAll my life, Iâve never come across such. And why must it have to be my child?â Bruce blurted out
âwhat did the doctor say?â the priest asked further
âHeâs not sure of whatâs wrong with her cause sheâs medically soundâ Deanna replied
âItâs a spiritual attack.. maybe she c@mÂŁ in contact with an evil spiritâ the priest said
âWhat do we do?â Bruce asked
âPrayer.. All you nee-d is to be strong in prayerâ the priest replied.
They all joined hands and the priest led them in a short prayer. After they had finished praying, the priest covered Moira with a duvet up to her che-st.
âAm going to keep praying for her and so must you all.. sheâs going to fineâ the priest said and sprinkled holy water on Moira. He asked them to put out the lights in the house and replaced them with candles.
âThe LORD be with youâ he said and walked out
âOh! My baby!â Vickie broke down in tears once the priest was out. âI wish I had listened to you last night.. maybe I wouldâve prevented thisâ
âSheâs going to be fineâ Deanna said
Damon walked into the living room and was surprised to find Stefan sitting on a couch whereas the entire family had gone to church.
âStefan?!â
âHi Damon!â Stefan called frustratingly
âWhy didnât you go to church today? Donât tell me you forgot today is Sundayâ
âI decided to keep you companyâ Stefan replied but the expression on his face showed that he was lying
Damon chuckled and sat on an armchair âyouâre not telling me the truthâ
Stefan let out her breath slowly âItâs about Deannaâ
âDid she dump you?â
âNo.. sheâs not even my girlfriendâ
âdid she call off the d@tÂŁ?â
âsought of but it isnât really her faultâ
âThen whose fault? Yours?â
âHer auntâs daughter went into coma if I may say, but itâs more of spiritualâ
âHow?â
âI donât know.. All Deanna said is the little girl isnât waking up but sheâs breathing fine and her heart beat is normalâ Stefan explained
Damon thought for a while and asked âShe didnât mention anything that might be the cause?â
âNo one knows yetâ
âMaybe sheâs the slee-ping Beauty of our timeâ Damon said with a shrug
âLike Deanna who sle-pt for straight two weeks without waking upâ
âIf Deanna went throu-gh such and still woke up, then the little girlâs case wonât be differentâ Damon said
âDeanna looked normal but the little girl looks like a wax workâ Stefan spat out
âWhatâs really bothering you now?â Damon asked âThat the little girl is in a critical condition or that your d@tÂŁ with Deanna is cancelled?â
âBothâ Stefan fell back on the couch and covered his face with a throw pillow
âI un-derstand.. youâre concerned about your childhood friendâ Damon said sarcastically and walked out .
Courtney was alone in her room, she was sitting on an armchair with her legs crossed on a footstool. She was counting how long it would take before the news of Deannaâs death comes. She thought Deanna drank the poisoned water the previous day. She took her wine glas-s in between index f!nger and middle f!nger.
âI see youâre happyâ someone said from behind Courtney
She spat back into her wine in shock âWhat the-?â she whirled around âDamon?!â
âDid I startle you?â
â$h!t! You almost scared me out of Courtneyâs b©dyâ
âDevils shouldnât get scaredâ Damon said pacing around the room
âHow did you get in here?â Courtney asked
âDoes that matter?â Damon asked picking a small globe from the table
âAm a woman Cipher, you shouldnât be sneaking up on meâ
Damon bur-st into an outrageous laughter âyou donât have anything that I want Vivienne.. youâre the last person Iâll pick interest inâ
âWhatever Cipher! What do you want?â
âHave you been going about doing evil?â
âIs that even a question?â Courtney scoffed âAm a devil remember? And the language is destructionâ
âAm going to sÂŁnd you back to hellâ Damon threatened and his iris turned to flames
âDamon what are you doing?â Courtney got scared and got up from her chair
Damon gr@bbÂŁd her arm and yanked her forward âLook into my eyesâ
âCipher youâre hurting meâ Courtney cried out
âLook at meâ
Courtney screamed and looked away. She feared Damon would cast her out of Courtneyâs b©dy and back to hell.
Damon dug his nails into her skin and she screamed louder.
âI dare not find out youâre doing anything crazyâ he seethed and faded into thin air. And he was gone.
âCourtney?! Courtney?!â Someone called knocking on the door. Damon had s-en-sed someone coming and left.
âCourtney are you okay?â
âJust get lostâ Courtney yelled not minding who was knocking. She slid to the floor holding her bleeding arm. âIâll kill you Deannaâ
LATER IN THE NIGHT đ
âam so scaredâ Vickie sobbe-d staring at Moira. Moiraâs condition wasnât improving, she was getting cold every minute.
âThereâs still hopeâ Bruce said. They were sitting around Moiraâs be-d. Bruce, Vickie, Deanna, and their neighbor, Meredith.
âI suggest you call an exorcistâ Meredith said
âWhat difference would it make? We alre-ady called a doctor and a priestâ Bruce said
âyou have to keep trying.. Moira is your only childâ Meredith reminded
âI know. But there is not going to be a solution if we donât find the causeâ Bruce stated
âI believe her attack is spiritualâ Vickie spoke up
âthatâs why you have to call an exorcistâ Meredith insisted
Bruce let out his breath slowly âI still have faithâ
Deanna excused herself and walked to her room. She fell back on the be-d with a de-ep sigh. Everyone was tired and frustrated. The room wasnât well lit despite the three candles the priest had lit in her room.
Deannaâs phone rang and she glanced at the callerâs ID. It was Stefan calling.
đ±Hello Stefan
đČ Deanna?! Howâre you doing?
đ±Am not fine Stefan.. Nothing is fine
đČ Any improvement?
đ±No. Sheâs getting cold like a dead person
đČ Am still confused on whatâs really happening. Did she encounter with an evil spirit?
đ±Iâve having suspicions about a strange girl who visited yesterday
đČ A strange girl?
đ±Yes and I donât know her
đČ Didnât she mention her name?
đ±She did.. She introduced herself asâŠ.
The door suddenly opened and the candle flames fli-cked. Deannaâs pulse ramped and her phone fell off her hand in fear.
âWhoâs there?â she asked looking around
In the light of the candle, a grey shadow danced along the wall.
âAunt Vickie?!â
A hand gr@bbÂŁd Deannaâs and she tried to scream but couldnât. It was Courtney and she smiled at how helpless Deanna looked.
âyou wonât remember anything when you wake up. You donât know me and I never visitedâ Courtney said looking into Deannaâs eyes.
Deanna got dizzy and coll@psed to the floor. Then Courtney got up to her feet and vanished into thin air
