Dread Part 5

"Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross." Claire's voice wavering as she continues, "Therefore God has also highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven and of those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

"No! You can't do this! She wants me here!" screamed Kiersten. She starts shaking and screaming, her back arching trying to get free. The chair she's tied to screams from the movement. The chair and Kiersten lifts and with a final scream, she and the chair crash to the floor, the chair breaking into pieces and Hayley's body limp.

I rush over and grab Hayley. "Hayley? Baby, it's me, its Ashley. I need you to wake up. Please wake up." I beg as I'm holding her body right against me.

"Can't... Breathe..." I let go of her and kiss her cheeks and forehead before kissing her lips.

"Are you okay? Is she gone?" Daryl is looking at us his brow furrowed.

"That wasn't Kiersten. That was a demon or something but that wasn't my sister." Hayley has tears streaming down her face as she says it.

"Who wants to use the ouija board again?" Charlotte jokes but we all glare at her.

Mark grabs the board and planchette, takes them outside and burns them in the driveway.

I don't feel the dread anymore. It's really over...

I kiss Hayley again and look around at my friends.

"Can someone call an ambulance?" I finally remember my should bleeding and on fire, "I'm sort of like bleeding out over here."

"I'll do it" Daryl pulls out his phone and heads outside to call while Charlotte and Claire help us up.

After about Fifteen minutes of waiting the ambulance shows up. "Hey sweetie, you're going to be just fine. My name is Sarah and I'm with the paramedics, you're going to be just fine."

Or am I?
