dread part 4

"Ashley! Where's your clothes?" Claire turns bright red. Instead of answering I grab her arm and pull her after me screaming for everyone. I hear footsteps behind us and with a quick glance, I see Hayley right behind us.

I pull Claire's arm harder and push her in front of me. I turn and Hayley shoves me to the ground and pins me.

Everything is dark. What's happening. Who is screaming? Why is my shoulder on fire?

"Ashley? Ashley! Please wake up!"

"Someone go get bandages!"

I open my eyes to find everyone standing above me. Except for Hayley... Oh my god, Hayley!

"Where's Hayley? What happened?" I try sitting up but my shoulder sends a wave of fire through my body.

"I tied her to a chair. I think her sister possessed her. I honestly didn't know that was a thing." Mark was standing over me.

"I put some clothes on you just before you woke up. We were all a little embarrassed that we had an unconscious naked friend bleeding out, haha" Claire was next to Mark scratching the back of her head nervously.

"We wanted to wait for you before we did the exorcism." Charlotte's voice was somewhere behind me. I felt hands under my arms lifting me with Mark in front of me, helping the best he could.

Once on my feet, I looked around at everyone then finally at Hayley. "What do we need for the exorcism?"

"Well, a bible, a cross, sage, and holy water, right?" Daryl had been quiet until now.

"I have the-" started Claire.

"I've got the sage and holy water." Interrupted Charlotte.

"And like I was saying I have the Bible and cross" Claire finished with an agitated state at Charlotte.

"Wait why do you have holy water and sage?" Mark asked slightly confused.

"It's an old cabin and I know miss thing over there always has a bible and cross in her duffel bag under her underwear." Charlotte teased.

"You went through my bag? When?" Claire's face turned red.

"Every time we had a sleepover since we were like twelve." Charlotte started heading to her room to get her supplies. Claire stomping after her to get her cross and bible.

"How silly. You think an exorcism will work on me? Hayley wants me here." Kiersten was awake and driving the Hayley meat suit.

"I know Hayley better than you do. The exorcism will work. Hayley will be in control and you'll be in Hell where you belong, you bitch." I spat every word at her, hoping she could feel the sting of hatred I threw in her face with every word.

I look up and see Claire and Charlotte coming back into the room.

"Who's ready to save our friend?" The confidence coming off of Claire was soothing but I still felt dread for what was coming next.
