"Oh please John," Shayera scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous." She folded her arms over her chest as John stood in front of the TV. "I am not afraid to watch some horror movie."

"So you won't get scared? Not at all?" John arched an eyebrow, rather amused with Shayera's annoyed responses. He placed the borrowed copy of Paranormal Activity into the DVD player.

"I can handle a fake, and quite pathetic, horror film about a ghost," she flopped down on the couch. "Plus Wally told me this movie isn't that scary and that I would like it."

John sat next to Shayera on the couch and grabbed the remote from the coffee table. "It's a demon and not a ghost Shay." He then pressed play on the remote and movie trailers began to play.

She rolled her eyes, "Same difference." She grabbed the blanket at the end of the couch and placed it next to her.

John heavily sighed when he saw this and then muttered, "Damn you Wally."

Honestly John didn't know how Shayera would handle a horror movie. She had never watched one before. Though with how tough Shayera was, John assumed that a horror movie wouldn't even faze her.

The movie began to play and Shayera snickered, "John, this couldn't even frighten a child." She gestured to the TV with a smirk.

John ignored her snide comment and focused on the movie. John wasn't one to watch horror movies himself. Not because they scared him but by the fact that he found them boring and overly predictably.

About fifteen minutes into the movie Shayera had already edged closer to John. There were footsteps coming up the stairs in the movie and it had already unnerved her. Plus, Shayera normally was vocal about whatever movie she was watching but so far she had been deathly silent. John took this as a bad sign.

By the time they got thirty minutes into the movie Shayera was tightly clutching John's arm. The blanket she had grabbed early was draped over her shoulder as she was frequently using it to shield her eyes. John hadn't moved an inch but he glanced over to see his girlfriend's reactions every so often.

Over an hour into the movie Shayera was pretty much shaking. Every once in a while she would squeeze her eyes shut and would bury her head into John's shoulder if a part got too scary for her.

Suddenly a door in the movie slammed shut and Shayera jumped as she wrapped her arms tightly around John's neck. She had pretty much tackled him when she had done this and knocked them both off of the couch.

John loudly groaned as he untangled the Thanagarian from him and grabbed the remote from the coffee table. He then proceeded to turn off the movie.

Shayera swallowed as she got herself into a kneeling position. "W-Why did you do that?"

"Shayera really?" Yet John couldn't help but chuckle at seeing Shayera's normally controlled composure completely dismantled. He held his hand out to her, "Come on Shay."

Shayera reached up and tightly grabbed John's hand as he pulled her up. She slowly followed the Green Lantern to the bedroom but not without cautious looking around the apartment for anything amiss or that might pop out to get her.

Shayera slowly laid down and let out a sigh. She tried to clear her mind as thoughts of the movie continued to play through her mind.

It didn't take long for John to doze off into a deep sleep. Unfortunately for him, Shayera wasn't able to sleep.

Two Hours Later

"John I think something is in the hallway."

"Shay, nothing is there. You already had me check it twenty minutes ago."

Ten Minutes Later

"John did you hear that?"

"It's just the wind Shayera, go to sleep."

Five Minutes Later

"Do you promise not to let anything get me?"

"What and let it get me instead?" She swatted him hard on the shoulder. He deeply sighed. "Yes I promise to not let anything get you Shayera."

Ten Minutes Later

John heard a metallic thump and turned his head. "What are you doing?"

"I'm putting my mace on the nightstand just in case."

"Are you crazy?"

"What do you want me to talk to the demon instead?"

Thirty Minutes Later

"John, I think your apartment is haunted."

"Go to sleep!"

"John, I'm serious."

"Shayera."

"Do you think I could perform an exorcism? What do I need? A bible and a cross?"

"You're an atheist not a priest. Now please go to sleep."

Twenty Minutes Later

"John wake up!"

He sighed into his pillow. "What?"

"I heard something."

"Shayera, go to sleep please."

"But John it was a creaking noise."

"Shayera, please shut up and go to sleep."

"Don't tell me to shut up when it's obviously a demon."

"You sound like a psychotic lunatic. Now go to sleep."

"But John-"

"Sleep!" John sharply replied, clearly losing patience with the Thanagarian. John swore he would never let Shayera borrow one of Wally's horror movies again.

Shayera frowned, "If I get possessed John Stewart, I swear I am taking you with me."
