Chapter 12 - Truth and Consequences

Part 1 - My Angel

Caleb was distant on the drive but as soon as we got home he unloaded our car and turned to Rosa and the Amish twins, who had followed us, carrying more of my stuff from my apartment.

“I have to leave for a few hours. Will you stay with Anaya tonight?” he asked Rosa and she nodded. “Lock all doors,” he said, turning and walking away without so much as a glance my direction.

As soon as they saw him leave, Rosa erupted.

“Okay, time to get to work. We need to have a prayer meeting inside.” The twins pulled their instruments from the trunk.

Rosa was Caleb’s housekeeper and also part of the revival meetings held at the Amish territory. This was likely the same person who Caleb got his information from. She had been working for Caleb for five years and was a prayer warrior. She truly understood what I lived with better than anyone.

Some people appeared from the woods to join us inside.

I was in no mood for this at first, but as the music played and people sang out and began dancing with an occasional person praying out, I was stirred up. I got my violin. Something was shifting in the atmosphere in the house, spilling out onto the land.

Hours passed by with Samantha on the drum and Simon on guitar. Things died down and people began to retreat back through the woods with their flashlights until it was just Rosa, myself, and a few staff members. The twins had just packed up and were on their way down the road when I felt a strange feeling, a warning inside my gut. I had never felt it this strongly before.

I was outside waving to the twins as they drove away when I noticed the wind did an odd thing. It was blowing one direction and then it seemed to stop suddenly, leaving an eerie silence before it started up stronger and blowing the opposite direction. He’s coming! I thought with a rush of fear in my gut. My feet took flight as I bolted for the front door and skidded across the floor.

“Everyone, get out! Run away from here!” I screamed.

Eyes full of shock, they just stared at me.

“Now!” I screamed again.

The sound of footsteps rushed to the doors.

I could hear and feel the form coming through the darkness from a mile away. The front door blew open and there stood Julian. Only it did not seem like Julian. He was staring at me with such utter loathing I thought he was going to rip me to shreds.

“What did you do?” he snarled. His voice sounded garbled and low. This did not sound like him.

I stood in the hallway, trying to stay calm.

“Umm, hello, Julian.” My voice was shaky. I was frantically, secretly texting Caleb in my mind: “Home 911!!”

He took one step through the door. I whisper-yelled for everyone to get out… in case the servants were still around. In one move that took only a second, he swept forward and grabbed me by the throat.
