The Demon Will Reside In Me

By

Yvonne Knight

Jessica goes to meet up with her boyfriend, Ryan, at their favorite coffee spot.

"Jessica, do you want to check out a haunted house this Saturday?"

"Where is it? "

"Maple Drive."

"Is that Miss Peterson's house?"

"Yes, but she died a couple of weeks ago; Now, the family is charging five bucks a head for a haunted house tour to help with funeral cost."

"Um, I don't know, because I remember the stories about Miss. Peterson. Her house was so spooky from the outside. She hated any noise from children. "

Now that you are an adult, the house won't be as scary. Just stay close to me, and I will protect you from the big bad ghosts."

"Ryan, that house was supposed to be haunted before the old lady died."

"Jessica, I thought you didn't believe in ghosts."

"I don't. If I do this, then Sunday is romantic comedy night."

Okay, Jessica, twist my arm."

The next couple of nights later, Jessica and Ryan keep having the same reoccurring nightmare about Miss. Peterson's house. The two of them have a dream where the demons invited them into the home. One even they had a dream where the demon met them at the front door; they both would wake up in a cold sweat from the nightmare. Jessica started to feel real apprehensive about going to the haunted house tour. Even though Ryan and Jessica are having the same reoccurring nightmare four days in a row, they never disgust with one another. Jessica did not want to tell Ryan about her apprehension because she knew how into the paranormal Ryan was. She reluctantly decides to push her uncertainty aside and go on this haunted house tour. Ryan, however, just thinking it was his imagination freaking himself out. He was seal excited to go on this house tour with Jessica. Ryan thought that going on this house tour would help Jessica face her childhood fears about miss Peterson's house. Friday night Jessica had a dream where the demon told her that he will reside with her soon. Jessica wakes up in a cold sweat from the dream.

Meanwhile, at the same time, Miss. Peterson came to Ryan in a dream, saying, "Stay away from my house." Ryan woke up in a cold sweat from the nightmare.

Saturday, Ryan came over to have brunch at Jessica's, before they went to the haunted house tour. Jessica was unusually quiet during brunch. Out of nowhere, Jessica says, "Abaddon will reside in me." The line was so long for the haunted house, and Ryan and Jessica near the back of the line. They were about to give up and go home and watch a scary movie. From the front of the line, "Ryan Wright and Jessica Black, please step forward." Ryan and Jessica made their way to the front of the line. The doorman says, "Abaddon will see you now. I mean, please go inside" All of a sudden, the front door slams shut, and them opens on its own.

Ryan and Jessica get goosebumps as they enter the house. As they enter the foyer, the archangel Michael appears in the mirror, saying, "Leave now; Ryan and Jessica blink the image away. They immediately feel compelled to go upstairs, even though Jessica had never been in Miss. Peterson's house, she knew where to find the master bedroom. Jessica feels like she is being guided by an unseen force to Miss. Peterson's bedroom. When Ryan tries the bedroom door, it appears locked, but Jessica turns the knob the door opens.

"Jessica, how did you do that?"

"I don't know."

Ryan and Jessica creep inside the room very quietly. Immediately Ryan feels uneasy about being in someone else's bedroom. Jessica silences Ryan's reservations with a passionate kiss. Jessica pushes Ryan on to the bed. As the couple makes love, the room's energy starts to build, and things start flying around the room. Miss. Peterson's voice materializes out of thin air, "Get out of my house," Ryan and Jessica run out of the house as fast as their legs could carry them. That same night Ryan and Jessica can't shake the feeling that they brought something home with them. While they were on the couch watching television, they heard fandom footsteps coming downstairs; Ryan and Jessica can feel an Invisible presence watching them from the bottom of the stairs. Ryan and Jessica both decide to turn in for the night. While Jessica is getting ready for bed, she catches a glimpse of Miss for a split second. Peterson in the bathroom mirror. Jessica sees a black shadow dart into the bedroom. Jessica tells herself she is just tired from the day. Ryan goes into the bathroom, and while he brushes his teeth, he catches a glimpse of Saint Michael in the mirror. Ryan is awakening by Jessica talking in her sleep. Jessica is talking at a rate no human being can possibly converse. She is speaking in Latin, "Your god bows down to me." Ryan does not understand how, but he can understand what she is saying. Jessica repeats this phrase over and over. Jessica's sleep appears uninterrupted by the commotion. Ryan is freaked out and up for the rest of the night. The next morning Jessica hello memories of last night's events.

"Jessica, you remember anything about last night?"

"Like what?"

"Do you remember anything about your dreams?"

Jessica rose, increasingly annoyed with Ryan's questioning.

Ryan notices three scratches on Jessica's arm.

"How did you get those scratches on your arm?"

Jessica's eyes turn completely black, "Stop interrogating me.

"Oh my god."

A deep demonic voice comes out of Jessica's mouth, "Don't say that name in this house."

Ryan replies, "Jesus Christ."

Abaddon levitates Ryan off the floor. Ryan immediately recites the St. Michael's prayer.

Ryan falls hard to the ground. Ryan hears St. Michael's voice inside his head, telling him to get out of there now. Ryan runs out of the house as fast as he can. Once Ryan is outside, he heads back towards the house to rescue Jessica from the demon. St. Michael's voice is loud; it sounds like St. Michael's voice is surrounding him.

"We have to get the necessary reinforcements before engaging in this battle; Jessica's soul is at risk."

Ryan gets in the car and drives five miles down the road to Bishop Dailey's church. Ryan tells Bishop Dailey about his girlfriend being possessed and about hearing St. Michael's voice. Bishop Dailey wants to see Jessica immediately.

The Bishop is the first to enter the house. A demonic voice comes from Jessica, "It's going down with the Bishop" The Bishop immediately starts to recite the prayer to St. Michael in Latin. Jessica starts yelling obesities at the Bishop, but she apologizes to Bishop Daile in a moment of clarity. St. Michael enters the room with his magnificent gigantic wings and jet black hair. St. Michael forces Jessica to sit in a chair; Ryan handcuffs her to the chair. Bishop Dailey makes the sign of the cross with holy water on Jessica's forehead; the sacred symbols burn into Jessica's skin. The walls start to vibrate, and things start flying off the walls.

Bishop Dailey says, "I demand that you tell me your name, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ."

"My name's Johnny," an evil grin stretches across Jessica's face. The grin has an animalistic look to it.

Ryan and Bishop Dailey start to pray, "In the name of the Father and of the Son, and the Holy Ghost amen.

Most glorious Prince of the Heavenly armies. St Michael the archangel defend us in our battle against principalities and powers, against the rulers of this world of darkness, against the spirits of wickedness in high place.

Meanwhile, St Michael goes into the astrofield to fight the demon face to face. St. Michael, the archangel, is shocked to find out that is Abaddon.

Abaddon says, Hello, brother."

St. Michael replies, "I'm not your brother anymore."

"But you could be if you join Satan."

"Abaddon shut up and fight."

An epic sword fight ensues.

"Michael, Satan could use your combat skills."

"Never!"

Some more archangels join the fight.

Meanwhile, in Jessica, Jesus offers her his hand to lead her out of the darkness, and she eagerly accepts. Heaven's angels sing in triumph. St. Michael sends Abaddon's name telepathically to Bishop Daile. Bishop Dailey commands Abaddon to leave Jessica in Jesus' name. St Michael drives his sword into Abaddon's chest, sending Abaddon back to hell. Suddenly the smell of roses fills the air. Bishop Dailey confirms the exorcism was a success.
