It was a dark and stormy night. At the Quinn residence in the woods, everybody was sleeping peacefully. No nightmares plagued any of their minds.
Brian, Colleen, Dr. Mike, and Sully were all sound asleep despite the storm outside. Then lightning struck a nearby tree next to the home.
An evil man's voice filled the air, "At last I am free!" it said.
"Now I need a body. Who should I take possession of?" it asked evilly.
It flew off into the distance. It stopped at the Quinn house and went inside. No doors were necessary, for this was an evil spirit.
It went from room to room. It saw a sleeping girl and boy.
"No," it said.
"They look too puny. I need a body with muscle."
It floated through the walls until it saw Sully.
"Now that is my kind of body," it said. It lied down into Sully's body. Sully jolted awake.
"What is this?" he whispered, careful to not wake his wife beside him.
The spirit replied "I'm taking a hold of your body. Don't try to resist. I am more powerful than you," it said.
Sully was now grunting and trying to fight the spirit. It was no use. The spirit had now complete control over his body.
The spirit smiled and looked at his hands. Now the real fun begins, he thought.
Morning came. It was beautiful sunny day. Brian and Colleen were already in school. Sully was up and already taking care of the animals. Dr. Mike came out and kissed her loving husband.
"Morning Sully," she said.
"Good morning my love," Sully replied as he kissed her as hard as he could, while dipping her down. Dr. Mike giggled.
"Who are you and what have you done with Sully?" she asked.
How did she know?, the evil spirit thought.
"I like my new husband," she stated.
Phew! It thought.
"I have to get to the clinic. I have a lot of patients today," she said.
"I'll see you tonight, dear," she said.
"Okay," said Sully.
Dr. Mike headed for the barn, tacked up her horse, and rode off into town.
In the afternoon, Brian cam home alone. Sully was in the barn tending to the horses.
"Brian!" he called. Brian stopped walking.
"Come here a minute," he said. Brian entered the barn confused.
"Yeah, Sully?" he asked. Sully looked at him in the eyes.
"Where's your sister?" he asked.
Brian was still confused. "She went to meet someone at the creek," stated Brian.
"She didn't tell you?" asked Brian.
"No, she didn't," said Sully. "What are you going to do?" asked Brian stepping back.
Sully looked at him. "I'm going to get her," Sully replied.
"Sully, don't tell her I told you where she was, ok?" asked Brian.
"Sure, you're secret is safe with me," Sully stated. Sully got on his horse and rode off to the creek.
Why did I have to ask that question? I don't have time for this. Why do I have to get her? Can't the little bitch take care of herself? the spirit thought while galloping bareback on the chestnut horse.
At the creek, Colleen and a boy were talking to each other.
"So, Mark," said Colleen.
"What do you think of me?" she asked. Mark looked at her lovingly,
"I think you're the most gorgeous girl in the town," he said. They leaned in and kissed. Little did they known they weren't alone.
"Colleen!" called out a voice. Colleen and Mark broke the kiss. "Sully?" Colleen asked.
He was sitting on his horse near the creek.
"How did you know where I was?" she asked him walking toward him. "
Never mind that," he said. "You're coming home, NOW." he said dismounting his horse.
"But," Colleen started.
"No buts!" Sully shouted. Colleen was scared a little. "Fine, just let me say good-bye to Mark," she said.
"Make it quick," said Sully crossing his arms. He watched them like a hawk.
Sully helped Colleen mount on his horse, then turning to Mark, giving him a glare that said "Don't even think about it."
Sully got on the horse and headed back to the house. Thoughts were flooding Colleens mind while riding home.
I know I told Sully about this. How could he have forgotten? Unless, something has happened to him. Maybe ma should check him out. I'll ask her when she gets home.
Sully and Colleen arrived home just in time for dinner.
After dinner, Colleen and Brian headed upstairs to do homework. Before Colleen could enter her room, Brian called her over to his room. Safely inside they sat down to talk. Brian started up the conversation.
"Was Sully acting weird today or was it just me?" he asked her.
"It wasn't you. I know I told him I was going to the creek, but he didn't remember. But then again, how did he know I was there?" she asked.
"I told him," Brian said. Colleen looked at him and smiled. "Thanks Brian," she said.
"You're not mad at me?" he asked her. She shook her head. "Actually, I'm kind of relieved. If you didn't tell him, imagine how much trouble I would be in right now," she finished.
"I think we better keep an eye on Sully," said Brian. Colleen nodded her head in agreement.
Before any one of them could say another thing, there was a knock on the door. Brian went and answered it. In the doorway, stood Sully.
He looked mad. Brian looked over at Colleen, who looked terrified. Sully entered the room and closed the door.
"What were you two talking about?" he asked them. Brian and Colleen said in unison "Nothing."
Sully gave them puzzling looks. "Alright," he said. He walked Colleen to her room and hugged her goodnight. Colleen smiled while she went to her own room.
He never does that, Colleen thought while getting into bed.
Sully then headed over to Brian. Sully walked over to Brian, who was reading a book. "Goodnight Sully," Brian said while looking up from his book with a smile.
"Brian," he said.
"Yeah?" Brian asked.
"Can you help me out with a project tomorrow after school?" Sully asked. Brian looked at him suspiciously.
"Sure," Brian said.
"Thanks, I'll pick you up from school tomorrow," Sully replied. He stood up and walked out the door.
I'll get rid of the kid first, then I'll pressure the girl into telling everything I want to know. She seems like she's the smart one, thought the evil spirit.
Sully entered the master bedroom. He saw Dr. Mike brushing her long hair. She looked like a Goddess. He went over to her and started to kiss her passionately.
"Sully, I'm too tired," she said. "Okay, some other time then," Sully said. He got into bed and fell asleep, with plans on how to kill Brian.
