In the Darkness || Arne Johnson

Chapter 15

The whole drive home I screamed and cursed to myself. Scolding myself for my stupid mouth.

I probably just ruined my only chance at finally getting with Arne. The guy I've had a crush on for the longest time.

I mean I was right with saying it was the wrong time, right?

But the look on his face when I told him that. He looked completely hurt. I didn't think he'd be that hurt!

He took what I said completely the wrong way! And that's the exact opposite of what I wanted to do!

Pulling up to the house, I got out and slammed the car door and made my way to the front door.

I stopped a few feet from the door when I saw Ed and Lorraine waiting on the porch.

Shit! I forgot they were coming over.

"Hi Mr and Mrs Warren!" I said, walking up to them.

"Hi Eden! We're not interrupting anything are we? You seem a little tense." Lorraine said, frowning a little. No doubt gesturing to me violently slamming my car door.

"No! I just got done visiting Arne actually." I said, making them both nod in understanding.

"How is he by the way?" Ed asked.

"Um not that good actually. He actually um, had an episode right in front of me." I said, crossing my arms in front of my chest.

"Really? What happened?" Lorraine asked, walking up to me.

I readjusted my purse on my shoulder, looking down. Not really wanting to recount to them what had just happened.

But maybe by telling them, they may be able to tell me what happened to him? Or how to help him?

Clearing my throat, I looked back up at them to see them waiting patiently for me to tell them.

"Well we we're just talking and then he looked behind me. I didn't see anybody there, but he kept on yelling at something. Telling them to not hurt her and to leave her alone. He stood up and I think he must've confused me for the person behind me, because he tried to attack me." I said, making them both frown in concern.

"He tried to attack you? Did he hurt you?" Ed asked, concerned.

"N-no! The guards were thankfully there to hold him off. But I can tell it's getting worse. He's already looking really pale and he's a lot more jumpy too." I said.

"Well that's why we're here sweetie. Ed and I listened to the recordings of when we were over here for David's exorcism. When he told us when he first experienced something in the house. Listening to it made us figure that we needed to start from the beginning." Lorraine said.

"Beginning?" I asked, looking between the both of them.

"Yes. We thought it was best to start where everything first happened, which is somewhere in this house." Ed said, gesturing to it.

I nodded my head in understanding.

"Do you know where the demon could attach itself to David? Could he may have touched anything when you guys first moved in?" Lorraine asked.

I pondered her question, thinking back to the first day we moved in. The whole day was us just moving boxes into the living room. None of us even wondered around the houses that day.

Wait.

"Um, actually my parents had David go upstairs to choose which room he wanted first. He only made it into one room before-" I started, before looking down, thinking about that day.
