PROLOGUE: LOSING FAITH
In a bedroom filled with lit candles, a couple watched as a Catholic Priest, named David Santos, approached a bed, where their daughter was tied down, and she was thrashing against the ropes since she was possessed by a demon.
David looked at the parents for a moment before looking back at their daughter. "Pray for me," he requested and the parents crossed themselves and began praying quietly as he approached the bed with a bottle of holy water and his cross.
He then began sprinkling the girl's body with the holy water as she arched her back in an unnatural way, and he began praying in Latin.
The girl screamed in a demonic voice, trying to get away from the water that was causing her skin to turn red and steam, and David was quick to pin her to the bed.
He pressed the cross against her forehead, still repeating the same Latin prayer, and his voice grew louder as he repeated the Latin prayer over and over.
For several hour-long minutes this went on until the girl suddenly went limp, and David backed off, hoping that he'd been successful in exorcising the demon.
Suddenly the girl let out a demonic laugh and she sat up, glaring at him with pitch black eyes, and she spoke in a demonic voice. `"For we are many."`
"What?" David asked, realizing his mistake, too late.
`"For we are many!"` the demon screamed, ripping free of the ropes, and it smashed a mirror. Before anyone could stop the demon, it grabbed one of the glass shards and stabbed the girl's neck. She quickly bled out and slumped to the bed, dead.
"No!" David screamed while the parents wept behind him.
He had failed!
Later that same night, David was driving along a dark road in the fog, drinking heavily from a glass bottle of whiskey. He'd failed to save the girl from whichever demon had been possessing her, and he could feel his own faith fading as well.
'I've failed in my mission to God,' he thought, depressed as he drank from the bottle once again. 'I have lost my faith.' He then heard an eerie whispering noise and his car stopped unexpectedly.
Confused, he got out of the car, trying to find the source of the whispering, and then out of the fog, a certain house appeared.
David stared at it in confusion since all the times he'd driven along that road, even at night, he'd never seen that house before. He then heard the eerie whispering again and realized that it was coming from the house itself.
Putting the bottle back in his car and retrieving both his bible and the cross, David started toward the house, being drawn to it for some reason, and he had a feeling that whatever was inside the house, it was up to him to destroy it.
He was sure of it.
A/N: Losing faith can be hard on anyone, no matter which religion they're a part of. So, that's it for today and there will be more on Thursday. See you all then! R&R everyone!
