We hurried to the main floor and down the hall. I had never run so fast, Father Adrian struggled to keep up with me.

“Sandra!”sweat was pouring into my eyes.“Sandra! Answer me!”

I skid to a stop at her door.

“Sandra. Sandra, please!”

No answer. I fumbled with my large key ring.

“Come out here, Gerald!”Father Adrian spit out.“This is not her fault! It’s time for this to end.”He wiped his face clean of sweat and took many deep breaths. Steadying his hands, he grabbed a rosary and crucifix from his pocket and started praying.

I slammed the door open and saw Sandra. She was trying to scream, but her voice was gone. Gerald–or some monstrosity that used to be Gerald–was behind her, in her bed, holding her motionless and stifling her voice. The swampy, black tendrils of his fingers snaked around her face and throat.

“Let her go! Gerald!”I took a step toward them and he gripped her neck tightly. Her eyes bulged and I felt sick. Father Adrian stormed into the room.

“Minion of Satan, let that woman go!”he held the cross in front of him.“Gerald, let her go.”He inched closer to the bed.

Gerald’s face wringed and stretched like black putty. He growled so deep and loud that the windows shattered and the door fell off its hinges.

“I command you!”Father Adrian yelled.“Take me! Take me, Gerald.”

“You’re next!”the monster bellowed at him.

Father Adrian picked up a sliver of glass from the floor and slid it across his palm; thick blood ran down his arm and dripped to the floor.

“I command you, beast of hell! Let her be!”smearing blood down his clothes and all over the cross, he continued,“Unhand her, vile creature! Almighty God commands you!”

I didn’t know what to do. A powerful wind started blowing around the room, kicking up all the debris and slamming door and windows. I was screaming for Sandra, Adrian was yelling at Gerald. Sandra had true terror in her eyes as she looked from me to the Father.

The monster that was Gerald grew in depth and anger. He swelled to twice its size.

“It was me, Gerald.”Father Adrian said.“It was me. I abandoned you. I forgot about you and I was the one who let you die.”He stepped closer to the bed.

“Father?”I asked.

“You’ve killed these innocent people, Gerald, when it was all my fault.”he said, stepping closer again. Pressing the crucifix toward Gerald, he slid his bloody hand around to his back and gripped the hilt of the dagger. His blood ran down onto the shimmering, silver blade.

“Let her go, Gerald.”He was calmer that time.“Just let her go. It’s me you want. I let you die.”His voice ramped up and I hid behind Sandra’s chair.“Take me!”Father shouted. Gerald’s anger was palpable. His shadowy strands of evil were massing into a glob of pulsing madness.

“I let you die!”Father shouted again.“I wanted you to die!”

The monster roared, throwing Sandra across the room. She was alive, but just barely. I hurried to her with a shielding blanket.

The demon rushed at Adrian, full evil rage in its voice.
