I wake up with a start.

Moonlight floods in through my bedroom window. I stare at it, trying to understand why the shape of the window is somehow different than I remember. Slowly, the memory of all the destruction filters into my mind. My bedroom had been decimated by the malevolent spirit and like someone snapped their fingers, it’s been repaired.

Are there magical construction workers?

The thought creeps into my mind, and after everything that happened here less than forty-eight hours ago, I’m certain there has to be. How else can you explain such a turnaround?

On the other side of the moonlight, something moves in the darkness. Blood pulses in my ears and I clutch the blanket close, unable to move. My breath drops into shallow gulps of air as I struggle with myself. I should move—I need to move. Yet somehow, I’m paralyzed, unable to escape the confines of the bed.

The movement transforms into a shadowy figure and as it comes closer, it takes the shape of a man. My mouth opens to scream, but I snap it shut when I realize I know the man.

“Dad?” I whisper. The confines of fear fall away as if ropes binding me were suddenly cut loose. “What are you doing in here?”

He walks up, one side of his face lit by the moonlight. The other half is shielded in darkness. However, the smile on his face is evident as he looks down upon me.

My eyebrows tug in and I shift in an attempt to sit up. Behind me, Wade groans, and rolls over, wrapping his arm around my shoulder. He tugs me closer to him and I drop back into the bed.

I flitted my gaze back to Dad. His expression has switched from contentment to agitation as he stares at the place where Wade’s arm rests. As if fighting with himself, his head flicks back and forth quickly, switching between happiness and irritation. Without warning, he stops, facing the doorway to the resurrection chamber.

I bolt upright in bed, following his gaze. In the shadows beyond the foot of my bed, Abigail is hunched over, her hair partly obscuring her face. Her lips move quickly, as if muttering something just out of earshot.

“What’s going on?” I say in a frantic whisper, trying to remain calm as my body begins to tremble. “Why are you both in here?”

Wade shifts slightly, running his hand along my arm. “Lay back down, Autumn. You need your rest,” he says, sleepily.

I clutch his hand, leaning on him for emotional support. I don’t dare move a muscle, and I’m unable to take my eyes off of the way Abigail’s hunched form looks like it could attack us at any time.

“Dad, Abigail is—” the words catch in my throat as I turn back to him. No longer fighting with himself, the side of his face once highlighted by the moonlight looks as though the skin is rotting off. His eye is missing and a wide-open socket stares back at me.

The room fills with a high-pitched scream as I scramble backward.
