The Conjuring

"The possession" Chapter VI (UNDER EDITING)

The next day, Ed and Lorraine had sent a letter to the church to get an approval for the exorcism as fast as possible. They called over their team to set up traps in the house to get more proof in case that what they already had wasn't enough. It was 11:24 am and The Warrens had just arrived at the Perrons house. Carolyn was waiting outside for them. Her arms were crossed and she looked pale, almost sick.

-How are you feeling?

Lorraine asked and hugged her.

-Terrible. I couldn't sleep. I kept hearing all these voices and screams in my head and Cindy was sleepwalking again.

Ed got out of the car and got some stuff from the backseat that seemed very heavy.

-Were's the Roger and the kids?

He asked, clearly in a rush.

-They're eating breakfast. Why?

-Get Roger. We need to get started as fast as possible.

They waited until the kids had left for school before it was time for Ed and Lorraine to explain what was going to happen. They sat by the table in the kitchen as Ed began to speak.

-Our team is on their way. They'll be here soon. We're going to put up motion cameras around the house so every time something passes it, it automatically takes a picture.

-Why do we need all this?

Carolyn asked.

-We need more proof. The church doesn't take these things easily. They need to be fully convinced to even consider such a serious decision.

Lorraine took Carolyn's hand and squeezed it before speaking.

-I'm going to explain this for you. I did some research and the one who's haunting you is a woman. Her name is Bathsheba and she sacrificed  her own child in this house. That boy that April is talking to, Rory, he lived in this house with his mother until he suddenly disappeared into the woods and didn't come back. They say his mother wanted to kill him.

-How can a mother kill her own child?

Carolyn asked, clearly shocked from what she just heard. That she was in a house where such terrible things had happened. Ed and Roger went outside to meet Ed's crew. The so called "crew" were two guys named Brad and Drew. Brad's a cop who's going to be there in case something went wrong while Drew's a technical pro and is going to set up all the cameras and microphones. They excited their van and Drew had a big box with him. Drew was the first one to speak.

-Hello, I'm Drew and this man of sunshine
is Brad.

Brad grunted at Drew and looked away. Brad's father was what they'd called a realist and did not believe in the paranormal which he had passed on to his son. He thought it was a normal break-in. What Brad didn't know was that soon, he'd have his mind changed forever.

-You're Roger right?

Drew said smiling and holding his hand out to Roger. Drew was still a student but worked extra with the Warrens as he'd developed a big interest in the paranormal after learning to know Lorraine.

-Yes I am.

-Great. I thought we better start immediately so me and Brad are going to set up the cameras inside the house while you and Ed take the tree.

Drew took his equipment and headed for the house with Brad grumpily following him. Roger watched them until they were inside before he followed Ed down to the tree.
