Chapter 4
There are many things that Casey has never done in her life because frankly she set some boundaries and one of her many moral's was to never break a rule. Ever. But some rules where mint to be broken and when Casey stumbled across a website belonging to a medium she had to meet him, she set an appointment for 8am and then snuck down the basement stairs to get Derek. He was awake and staring blankly up at the ceiling. She wished she could see whatever it was he was seeing and she wished that she could feel the pain that he was feeling. She went over to his bed and sat on the edge. "Hey Derek"
Derek broke from his concentration on the burnt up kid that was currently starring at him and then looked at Casey and gave her a grin. "Whoa, hold the presses! Is the do good-er Casey herself breaking a rule?"
Casey laughed and rolled her eyes.
"You know Case, if you keep rolling your eyes like that they will stay like that. We wouldn't want that now would we?" Derek said with an impish grin.
Casey scoffed, "Derek, we are going into town. I was talking to this guy online and he wants to meet us…well you more than me. So we have to go before your mom wakes up and notices that we are MIA."
Derek groaned and sat up, grabbing a shirt that was on his chair. "Casey how do we know that it is not some prev? I mean you met him on the internet."
Casey starred at him. "Derek he is a priest."
Derek laughed and was about to let out a snarky comment but religion was one thing that he never joked about, especially now. But he gave a defeated sigh. "Fine let's go see him"
Casey smiled and then waited for him before sneaking out the door, she hasn't quit perfected the art of sneaking out. When they got to the prince they noticed that George's car wasn't there, he never came home. Casey saw Derek's face sink as he got into the car.
On the ride to the church Casey asked him about last night. "You never gave me an explanation about what made you go nuts last night."
Derek sighed; Casey was the only one who he could talk to because she believed him. "Well, I was laying on my bed listening to music when I saw the door to the mortuary swing open. I closed my eyes for a while then opened them back up and the next thing I knew there were these…well people surrounding me. Their skin was yellow and they had these markings on them and…their eyes where white Casey, white with no eyelids. They all started talking to me and saying 'in the walls', 'in the walls', 'that's where he hid us in the walls'. Next thing I know I'm sitting on the dining room floor and the wall next to me is all scratched up and my fingers are well." He looked down at his hands. "Like this"
Casey gave him a sad smile and grabbed one of his bandaged hands. He didn't notice that they were in the parking lot of the church. "Don't worry Derek, we will fix this. I swear that we will"
They both got out of the car and walked over to the priest that was standing there, Derek recognized him, he met him when he was getting his treatment. "Father Walters." Derek greeted
Father Walters nodded his head and took the kids into the church, asking them to describe everything that was going on and when they told him about Derek attacking Casey his breath hitched. "What was the demon telling you to do to her Derek?"
Derek looked at Casey who was still holding his hand. "It's ok Derek," she said "I can take it."
Derek turned his attention back to the Father Walters. "It wanted me to hurt her but not just like hit her hurt her, it wanted me to break her, it didn't like how she carried herself all confident and all." Then Derek stopped saying 'it' and began to call it 'he'. "He…told me that I had to do it, to assert my power over her and when I wouldn't do it, he got really angry and I blacked out and when I woke up I found myself on top of her, He was in full control of my body and he wanted me to watch and then he told me that he was going to hurt her really, really bad."
Father Walters nodded his head then looked at Casey and then to Derek. "Derek, why did you stop saying 'it' and then changed to 'he'?"
Derek coughed then cleared his throat. "Because, The demon was once a man who changed into a demon."
The priest nodded and then got up. "I will be right back ok, I have something to show you two so just stay put for a second because there is something you should know."
