September 19, 1999

It had been raining all day.
Marianne Ohara looked outside the window of the car.
I hope it's not an ill omen of things to come…
She tapped the driver's shoulder. "Hurry up, please."
"Of course, madam."
Marianne Ohara belonged to a family of demon hunters. She and her hushband are among the elite, skilled hunters who have brought down countless demons.
Now her friend has called for her aid.
She shook her head. That woman, seriously, what has she gotten herself into this time?
Making such a deal like that…
Her thoughts were interrupted by the car stopping.
"We are here, madam."
Marianne quickly opened the door despite the rain. Her driver also opened his door and grabbed an umbrella. "Madam, you will get wet!"
Marianne ignored him, running straight towards the small house.
Finally she got to the door and opened it. Her driver stopped beside her, still holding the umbrella even though they're now safely in the house's porch.
"Madam, in all seriousness, if you get sick, the master will-"
Marianne opened the door to the house. The inside had a very sinister feel, and she could hear someone screaming at one of the rooms. Giving childbirth. Some people were milling around the house, either holding guns or praying.
Two of them noticed her and greeted her.
"Ma'am, we've already set up guard, but we are not sure if it's enough," one of them said.
"You did a good job," Marianne replied. "Let me handle the rest."
The driver stood by the door, uncertain.
"Take care of my daughter for me, just in case," she said.
the driver was taken aback. "But madam, you and the master-"
"We'll be back," Marianne said, holding a pistol. "But just in case, you know?"
The driver sighed. "Very well, madam. I'll be waiting in the car."
Marianne loaded her gun with blessed bullets and went to the bedroom.

The bedroom was even more chaotic than the living room.
On the bed lying down was her friend, Chizuru, currently giving childbirth.
Doctors under the pay of their organization were currently helping her. These doctors are also demon hunters, and underneath their robes are pistols to be used in case of emergency.
"Dear…"
Marianne saw her hushband, Joseph, watching. She saw the rosary in his hand. He was using prayer to make a barrier, hopefully to repel the demon.
"What has your friend gotten into?" Joseph asked. "What she did was very dangerous."
Marianne shook her friend. Chizuru was a woman who was unsure of herself and wanted the confidence to succeed in life. Unfortunately her desperation made her easy prey.
"It's too late for that now. We need to protect her."
Finally one of the doctors signaled them. It is time.
Chizuru gave one last scream, and a baby was in the doctor's hands. A young girl.
Marianne and Joseph were alert. If Everything went according to plan, nothing would happen.
But then again…
Marianne heard chaos outside the room. There were several shouts and gunshots, then silence.
Lightning suddenly filled the room, hitting several objects and some of the doctors, knocking them out instantly. Another doctor grabbed his pistol and aimed at the cloud of smoke, but he knew it was am empty threat-there was no way he could hit a cloud with his bullets.
The doctor holding the baby backed into a corner.
"Give her to me."
"Not on my watch. Dear!" Marianne shouted.
Her husband started praying, attempting to contain the huge entity.
Blue swirls of energy started to gather around the entity, trying to trap it.
"Pathetic human. You think this is good enough?"
The a hand shape formed from the smoke and struck down Joseph, hitting his arm. Joseph shouted in pain as he dropped his rosary. The demon hit him again at the shoulder with lightning, this time knocking him out.
"Joseph!" Marriane aimed at the smoke entity. "You bastard!"
The demon paid her no heed and instead focused on the doctor holding the child.
He grabbed the doctor holding the gun with his smoky hand. Despite being made of smoke, he had no difficulty doing so.
"Die."
Lightning surged from the hand into the body of the doctor, whose body shook with electricity. The doctor would have screamed but the demon's hand covered his face. Finally when the doctor was dead, the demon gestured at the doctor holding the baby.
"Give her to me."
"No!" Marianne shot, betting that since the demon was able to hold the doctor, it can be hit with bullets.
It hit the smoke and the demon reacted to it, facing her.
"You dare challenge me? Very well. Take this!"
The demon attacked with lightning. Marianne dodged and fired a few more shots at it. The demon accepted the hits, not even flinching. It responded with another lightning blast, and this time it hit its mark, hitting Marianne's leg, the pain causing her to collapse to the ground and let go of her pistol.
The demon, satisfied, focused his attention on the baby. The doctor holding it pointed her gun at the demon, but she was too afraid to move. The demon picked the baby up. "She will suffice."
Suddenly a glowing energy circle appeared below him.
"What's this?"
Marianne Ohara will not go down without a fight. She promised to protect her friend.
"Marianne.." Joseph was coming too when he heard what Marianne was saying and realized what was happening.
"No, no! Don't do that! Marianne!"
Marianne looked at her hushband. "I love you, dear…"
There was a huge explosion as the demon was sucked backed into the dark dimension from which it came, and then there was silence.

Operatives from the Ohara family later helped cover up the incident. Both the child and the mother made it to safety, and the two had been living peacefully since then.
