just need to get out of here for a bit. I’ll be back.” Amanda said as she went back inside and grabbed the keys. Parked out front was the brown car. She climbed inside and pulled out of the driveway. Though she wasn’t headed to the store. In her vision, she saw exactly where Father Harlan was, a little town near San Antonio. She had no actual plan, just the feeling she had to be there.
    The last time she’d seen Father Harlan was in the hospital after the demon had left her. He told her he was leaving the priesthood, but she wasn’t sure if he had or not. Either way, it was only a few hours away. Whatever was going on, it was bad. Very bad. She had visions of the people or afflicted that were chasing him.
    After her ordeal, she had seen videos of herself from when she was possessed. She’d had nightmares for weeks after seeing what she looked like. She couldn’t imagine what those around her had felt. The faces she saw in the vision, however, looked ten times worse. They didn’t look demon possessed. They looked like something straight out of hell. She was not an exorcist and had no idea what she’d do when she got there. All she knew was Father Harlan had helped save her. Now it was her turn to return the favor.

Chapter 12
    D ietrich looked out the window as the others looked around the house.
    “It’s quieting down out there. I don’t know what Simon did, but he seems to have control of them.” Dietrich said.
    “Do you think they’ll hurt him?” Sharon asked.
    “I don’t think so. If anything, they looked afraid of him, or whatever is inside him.”
    “How do you not have constant nightmares with this shit, Dietrich?” Bernard asked.
    “Who says I don’t? I’m just telling you what I know, which isn’t much. But with the hospital case last year, there were some similarities. The girl, Amanda, was initially possessed. From there she, or the demon inside her, commanded a whole fleet of other afflicted. Once she was able to drive him out of herself, they all left as well”
    “Drive him out of herself?” Sharon asked.
    “Yes. Ultimately that was how the thing was exorcised. One of them had even taken me at one point. I figured out, if I could keep control long enough to command him to leave, then they had to leave. So I told Amanda, who did the same thing and it worked.”
    “So all Simon has to do is tell it to leave?”
    “Yes, but that’s where this gets a bit complicated. Amanda was fifteen and it was difficult for her. Simon is only four, so it may be more difficult to take enough control, or even realize what is happening.”
    “Oh my God.” Sharon said and turned to Bernard. “Can you find me a real exorcist? One who can actually make these things go away?”
    “I’m sorry,” he said. “But what he’s the closest thing to it. I mean, I can find you an actual priest who can do a bunch of chants and read a bunch of Latin. It might make you feel better for a bit, but it won’t actually help. Father, er, Professor Harlan here is the real deal. If anything can be done to help your son, he will figure it out and make it happen. Trust me. He’s the only one I’d want on my side if it were a member of my family.”
    Sharon looked at them both, as Dietrich looked back outside. He didn’t really care if she believed in him or not. The truth of the matter was, her son was in serious trouble, which happened to put everyone else in even more danger. No telling how many had died so far.
    “I have an idea,” Dietrich said as he headed for the door. “Stay here.”
    “Where are you going? Are you crazy?” Bernard asked.
    “Probably, but I have to try something. You should be safe here. But I can’t just sit here.” Dietrich said as he stepped outside.
    The streets were eerily quiet as he walked past the police cars and dead bodies while he tried to ignore the carnage all around him. It was almost two full block before he saw the first ones. It was two women who came charging toward
