It had already been a long day and it was not even noon yet. We had suffered a loss of life and that burden fell on me. The longer I sat on my bed with nothing to distract me from my real-world problems, the more apparent that loss of life became my doing. Maybe if I had not zapped Sarah Macly when we were down in hell rescuing my little brother, maybe if I had asked a question to Nurse Helen before just blindly following her execution order. Maybe if I were just a good person, that would have solved this problem.
Jennifer had lost her first ever true boyfriend. Scotty Geraldy had been killed because Sarah Macly sought revenge on me for causing her to remain in hell leading to her massacre. If there was some other way, something that could have solved our problems without singling out Sarah, this could all be avoided.

Haunting Naomi Chapter 107
My mind fought to shake the image of Jackson exploding in the ceiling corner of the bathroom, the same bathroom I had been attacked in a week ago. My body went into a shock-like state, seeing my little brother killed right before my eyes when he was just lying next to me in my bed, resting from pure physical exhaustion.I need help right now. Never in my life had I needed more help than at this point right now. There was no way I could go and grab my parents; they would not understand, and they would want more answers than I could provide to them. Jennifer was napping at home after seeing her boyfriend killed right next to her in a vicious car accident. Todd was out front, but I had a horrible fear that I would not be able to get outside to grab him without my body giving up and shutting down.After Jackson’s head exploded, his limp body fell to the tile floor with a resounding thud. I desperately wanted to rush in and grab his

After the horrible nightmare that ate at my heart as I slept, scaring the living daylights out of me, I was able to sleep soundly for the first time in a very long time. Jackson remained at my side, sleeping, and never moved an inch. During my much-needed sleep, I could literally feel my body recharge from the draining lack of sleep.Sarah Macly was still in my closet, where she would stay until I deemed otherwise. No one ever went into my closet, not even me. If I needed clothes, I picked it up off the floor, gave it a smell, and put it on regardless of how it smelled or not. She would remain in the closet under the clothing until I could determine a way to keep her from attacking us non-stop.I checked my phone and noticed I had two missed calls, one from Mrs. Tannell and one from Nurse Helen. If it was just one or the other, I would have felt pretty nervous about it but having both of them call, that made it seem like
Haunting Naomi Chapter 109
Jackson woke up with a slick smile showing his pearly white teeth. He stretched long and slowly, creating a yearning for me to yawn. I looked at him as his mind adjusted to being awake versus still dreaming in a wonderland of fluffy clouds and zero gravity. His face clicked in realization that he had finally awoke and he proceeded to tell me something disturbing. He said, "Naomi, I had the craziest dream. I was down in hell, but I was an adult. I had an office and demons had to do whatever I said. I even had a secretary, but she hardly wore any clothes. It was wild." My face dropped, I failed to hide the horror of what he had just told me. I was concerned that he was not dreaming but maybe living some sort of alternate reality. When he was awake, he was my little brother. Young and fun and clueless about the evils of the world. When he was asleep, he telephoned into the adult Jackson commanding legions
Haunting Naomi Chapter 110
It had been quite a day, quite a day indeed. I spoke to the Lord Almighty and his polar opposite, Lucifer, commander of all that is evil. As if that were not enough, I had crushed some sort of parasitic entity inside of my brother’s forearm that consequently leaked from his skin and dripped to the floor. I gathered the residual slime and found a plastic Ziploc to put it in. I wanted to, no, I needed to show someone. After the slime had drained from my brother's forearm, he seemed to snap back to reality. His face returned to its normal twitchy antics and his body seemed to not be able to sit still. I was curious if there were any ill effects from the crushing of the entity inside his body. Judging from the past, I was certain there would be. I said, "How are you feeling now, Jax? Anything feel weird or out of place? While you were sleeping, I had a pretty weird feeling, so I am just checking on you." Jacks
Haunting Naomi Chapter 111
Jackson had just presented a brand-new game changing special ability to me. As our minds struggled to comprehend the massive reach this special ability allowed us, a spine-tingling shrieking scream sliced through the air from downstairs. It was our mom, something was wrong as neither of us had ever heard her scream like that before, hell, we had never heard a scream like that before from anyone or anything. Instead of celebrating Jackson's new ability, we both launched from my bedroom and raced downstairs to see what was the matter. My worried eyes scanned the area for my mom. She was still screaming, causing my vision to blur and my body to shake. The adrenaline from the fact that she was going through something horrible hit me very hard. The scream, cutting like a knife against my eardrum, grew louder and more intense but I was unable to see my mom. The front do
Haunting Naomi Chapter 112
The gigantic demon made an awkward face, defeated already, even before it had truly begun its horrid attack. Jackson was able to shatter the spirit of a being that genuinely had no spirit at all. Todd stumbled back to his windowless, white van as he had quickly determined that he was going to be absolutely no use to Jackson or me during this encounter. The best thing he could do was stay out of the way and keep himself alive. I was not quite sure how I fit into this equation, for the first time in my demon hunting career, I was unsure of what to do and if I should try to take charge or not. Jackson seemed to have everything under control, even though we had only just begun our encounter with the humongous demon. Do I call in the troops, do I stand by and watch Jackson, what is the right move here for me to take? I sai
Haunting Naomi Chapter 113
In a literal standoff, the towering demon stood toe-to-toe with my little brother, Jackson. Just visually, this match up seemed absolutely out of hand and unwinnable for the living. This is a true lesson to never judge a book by its cover alone. Visually, this was the type of fight no one even bothered to watch, did not need to spend their hard-earned money on, turned away so that they did not witness a literal murder. Those people would miss out on the victory of all victories. Jackson stepped forward in response to the gigantic demon's advancement. That was an unexpected response, as the demon widened its eyes and growled in frustration. Jackson still clinched the self-made orb in his hand, tightly but with respect. He knew this would be the game changing attacking device he needed to take down a demon that was lar
Haunting Naomi Chapter 114
Sarah Macly, my former alliance member, the one that shot me in the head with a self-conjured fireball sending me through the hell portal in Mrs. Tannell’s living room, was still securely tied up and gagged in my closet. I could not help but notice that ever since she had taken the life of Scott Geraldo, Jennifer's former boyfriend, the demon attacks had increased in occurrence tenfold, hell, one hundred-fold. We had to do something to curb these attacks so Jackson and I could resume some sort of normal life and enjoy the remainder of our childhood. No one had stumbled upon the tied and gagged Sarah Macly lying in my closet under piles of clothes and shoes, but I feared that someone would at some point. She needed to be properly neutralized so that things could go back to normal, whatever normal was for a pair of demon hunting siblings that had a mother that had killed a child in a hit-a
