We were literally standing around demon Sarah, all of us, Jennifer, Jackson, Todd, and me, as the front door of my house opened. It had to be my mom or dad, no one else was in the house. A couple of issues are in play here, for starters, the four of us were standing around demon Sarah with her ripped off arm as she was bound with rope, also, we had Todd with us. My parents did not know Todd and the fact that he was standing around with a bunch of children, that raised a lot of flags to those that did not know him.
The time to react to this new variable, the addition of my mom or dad to this equation, was literally three to five seconds. It did not matter if it was my mom or my dad, either one would be very problematic or would not understand why us children were hanging around a fat, bald man that drove a windowless white van. With all of us around, we had plenty of special abilities to make things better, it was going to come down to our reacti

The voice that rang out from down the street was not familiar to me, not immediately at least. Jennifer and I were following Todd with his metallic black box and Jackson with demon Sarah over his shoulder, double his size. This should not be a problem, as long as it was a human, we had more than enough abilities to go around to hand one nosey onlooker. My issue with it all was the fact that we just could not catch a break as far as a little peace and quiet is concerned. He said, “You young kids, what are you up to? Why are you hanging around with an old man, I know he is not a part of your family? I have a keen sense for this sort of thing. What is wrong with that girl the little boy is carrying? You have some explaining to do, I have the police on dial, all I have to do is press the green button.” Todd and Jackson continued their progress to the van to off load the equipment and demon somewhere in the back of Todd’s cluttere

Sarah, smug and cocky, was lying on the floor of the van laughing as loudly as possible with her one arm barely able to slap her thigh, as she was securely tied up, and the other arm, well, it was gone. Todd was still sitting in the driver’s seat of the van as we still sat sideways in the middle of the main road, staying at the accident scene with dumbfounded eyes. I was having a terribly tough time with the fact that I had just led this woman to her death. There was no doubt in my mind, she was going to haunt the shit out of me. My initial thoughts were the fact that I was truly not a bad person. I followed one instruction from Nurse Helen to ensure the growth and solidarity of the alliance and I had taken Mrs. Williams out of the equation for the sake of saving Todd. Now, we had this old woman, that seemingly knew Mrs. Tannell, and to get her to leave us alone and not call the police, I shot her finger off, and Jennifer had wished her home, re

The trip to the edge of town, to the abandoned K-Mart building that we were planning on storing demon Sarah at, was a short duration but felt like an eternity as my brain explored the deepest, darkest areas of my suppressed terror thoughts. I just had a very bad feeling that something wild was going to happen and cause us to miss our goal of locking demon Sarah away for the foreseeable future. Jennifer, Jackson, and Todd all seemed focused and ready to get this task over with, but I just could not get my brain wrapped around this simple task, not with the death of the old woman weighing me down. My eyes fixated on demon Sarah, as she winced at every bump in the road. The floor of the van was not ideal for a person to be lying on, there was no give or take on the metallic floor. Every bump sent a small vibration of potential pain up my legs to my knees, I could only imagine what the

The four of us, not counting demon Sarah, traversed through the dark, damp abandoned K-Mart. Careful to stay in line with Todd, we watched each other’s feet as we progressed towards the area where we would be storing demon Sarah behind a false wall. Sporadic glints of light cracked out in the darkness, lighters, lighters being used by nefarious people for dangerous things. Their faces were hidden well in the darkness, only showing when their lighter ignited for a few seconds. There had to be a hundred people in here, easily. Jackson had volunteered to carry demon Sarah over his shoulder, we surrounded him as we followed Todd to ensure he did not get snatched up in the darkness. Jennifer, taking up the rear of the group, carried the metallic black forcefield producing box. The tie-dyed shirt guy with the missing teeth had vanished into the darkness but I could feel his eyes burning into me as I followed Todd towards the far back corner of t

The smell of mold and poison entered our lungs as whatever was stalking us in the darkness was drawing closer. All of our senses were peeked, unfortunately for the smell sense, we were hypersensitive. Todd worked away as fast and efficiently as he could but the three of us around him had to keep the perimeter clear so he could finish, and something was closing in on our position. Jennifer turned to face a dark corner along the wall to her left, she was ready for whatever popped out of the darkness. Jackson flanked the right side, ready and waiting to intercept any attack that may come our way. I was guarding the middle, the largest area of all areas that needed to be covered and protected so that Todd could finish his work and secure demon Sarah behind the false wall. I said, “Stay alert guys. We need to be ready; something is coming, and I do not think it wants to help us.” Todd had already placed the last of the dry
Haunting Naomi Chapter 143
With Todd having finished the false wall, placing demon Sarah behind there so that she can be temporarily removed from our lives for the time being, we were now whole again and ready to fight against dead Mrs. Williams and her demon wolves. None of us surrounding Todd had been directly damaged yet by Mrs. Williams or her demon beasts, but the time was coming to counter the lunging attacks executed by the demon wolves. It was very odd to have to deal with an attack from some terrifying animals while in the darkness of this abandoned K-Mart filled with drug addicts and drunks. Without our ability to see, other than the glowing Mrs. Williams, our senses were heightened exponentially. My increase in the sense of smell was less than pleasing. The dank smell of this dark place filled with homeless people, demon wolves, and a ghostly Mrs. Williams was absolutely atrocious.&nbs

With my inscripted arm showing more bone than meat, I was more than happy to gamble and see if my new buddy the demon wolf would help us out and pay a very painful visit to the not so shiny Mrs. Williams. Todd, Jackson, and Jennifer had run over to attack her after we had defeated the first three demon beasts. Why would we waste our special abilities fighting a demon while risking a serious injury when we had an excellent chance to use one of her own weapons against her? My three mini alliance members noticed the glowing red eyes of the beast soaring past them. All three stopped to see what was about to happen. The only thing showing Mrs. Williams was her slight glow, it had faded severely once we executed her wild demon wolves. Once we could clear Mrs. Williams from the picture, we would be able to assess the injuries I had sustained and get our butts out of this mold infest
Haunting Naomi Chapter 145
The four of us stood at the large bay door in astonishment. The destroyed torso of demon Mrs. Williams had just been grabbed and taken into the depths of the darkness after Todd had harvested her demon orb and used it to heal my mangled arm. We could easily have turned, gathered into the van, and left the area if it were not for a couple of issues. The first issue was the fact that the thing that had taken the torso, likely to consume it, was probably a demon. We had come here to secure demon Sarah behind a false wall, which Todd built, and we could not risk a demon being loose inside and eventually freeing demon Sarah. That would make everything we had worked for an absolute waste of time. Unfortunately, we had to battle whatever this demon was, where it was. None of us had even gotten a hint of what this demon looked like, it had yet to emerge from the darkness of the abandoned K-Mart. The second issue we had was the
