Chapter 5Demons. He said…demons?

Brianna did what any rational young woman would do when she found herself alone in a dark library with someone talking about demons.

She ran away.

Keeping the cart between herself and Jake she circled him, turned, and bolted for the entrance. She slipped between the stacks, racing past signs that read “Fiction,” “Historical Biography,” and others. Wasn’t the door right there? She came out of the shelving units facing a wall full of books, and no way out.

“Brianna, wait!”

He was close behind her. She chose a direction, went left, and stayed along the wall. Eventually it had to bring her to the door. It had to.

Instead, what it led her to was Jake. He was standing right next to the door, hands out like he was going to catch her and Brianna nearly stumbled right into him before she could stop herself. She brought her hands up in fists as if she was going to be able to do anything to stop him if he wanted to—

“Be calm,” he said to her.

And she was calm.

His voice had been odd, like it was vibrating through tissue paper. But as soon as he spoke the words, all of her fear and anxiety melted away and she stood there, blinking at him, wondering why she had been so scared. Jake was such a nice guy and he would never hurt, so there couldn’t possibly be anything at all wrong.

Wait a minute.

She blinked again, this time coming back to herself and remembering exactly why she had been so freaked out and exactly why she had bolted for the door. “What did you just do to me?” she demanded, taking a step back from him. “Stay away from me, Jake.”

He looked surprised. But then he reached out for her as she took another step back. “Listen, I know it’s a lot to understand.”

“Yeah?” she scoffed. “You think?”

“That’s why I didn’t want to tell you anything about it until we were in your car and on our way, Brianna. And even then, I’m pretty sure I was going to leave out the part about the demons.”

“Oh, thanks so much. Just stay the hell away from me!”

He lowered his hands, finally, and looked down at the floor. Jake looked disappointed, dejected almost, like a puppy that had just been shoved off the couch or something. “I’m sorry,” he said. “I was hoping we could get to know each other before all this had to come out. You know?”

Did she know? Did she know what? That he had lied to her, led her into a dangerous situation, and then tried some Jedi mind trick on her? “Oh, no. No. You do not get to act like the victim here, Jake. You want to go around acting all crazy and telling people there are demons chasing you, that’s on you. Not me. For all I know those guys are like from the local psycho hospital and they want to take you back there.”

He flinched at her words and huddled into his sweater more.
