“RACHEL. YOU SHOULD GO WITH the others.”

Colton's voice navigated the minefield of her thoughts. Rachel squeezed her eyes tight and shook her head. She tried to block out the horror of what she’d seen... and what had seen her. But the image still came to life.

She glanced toward the doorway to the smaller room and clenched her fist, trying desperately to hold onto her sanity. The sliver of sanity she had left was slipping through her fingers. Her palm stung as her nails drove through the flesh. That girl never stood a chance, even when she kicked and screamed. She was no match for that monster.

Rachel knew the moment its black, soulless eyes met hers, that this was no man. Evil. Yes, this place was infested with evil. It was all around her, in these walls, in this floor… in these people. She wrenched out of Colton’s grip and spun, searching the others, searching for the blackness in their eyes. Colton couldn’t help her. No man could.

No man…. Her breath caught as a tiny spark of hope flared to life. No man could help her. So she turned to the only one who could—God. Prayer would be her only savior and she clung to that belief as though her life depended on it. Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name....

“Rachel, are you listening to me?”

The whispered prayer inside her mind faltered. The horror in her mind did not. That thing had stared right at her. It’d looked into her very soul… and it liked what it saw.

Dear God, please help me… Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, in earth, as it is in heaven....

Rough hands gripped her, jerking her forward. Her head snapped back, making the bones of her neck grind in her ears. The sudden movement forced her back to the present.

Rachel opened her eyes and stared at Colton. His words sounded slow and drawn. “Listen to me, Rachel. You need to go into the other room. It’s too dangerous in here.”

Her gaze gravitated to where Jason writhed and growled like a rabid dog. He’d seen something in that room too, hadn’t he? Something that’d stayed with him. Would she be the next one who screamed and howled in the corner, while everyone else tried to pretend she didn't exist?

It felt like only yesterday she dressed in Gucci and Prada and scoffed at those who drove anything less than a Lexus. Rachel closed her eyes, trying to hold on to something real. Her entire life had been ahead of her. Her purpose had been so clear, and now... now she was fighting for her life, and her sanity.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil….

Darkness filled her. A hopelessness she’d never felt before. Her reality had become like gelatin, shaking, wriggling, moving, never standing still. Rachel stared up at Colton, trying to find the words to make him understand. She couldn't go back into that room and she’d kill anyone who tried to force her.
