Valentina's eyes glowed. And, no. That wasn't a compliment. Her eyes were actually glowing.
"Valentina?"I asked.
"Why, yes?"She asked. Why was she talking so weird?
"Are you... feeling well?"Aella asked her. Valentina's eyes continued to glow, her expression was a cold smile.
"I'm feeling just fine! Shall we continue on our quest?"This... was definetely not Valentina.
"Who are you?"Octavia interrogated.
"A lost soul."Valentina's voice echoed. "Can you... get out of our friend?"I asked.
"What are the magic words?"Valentina smiled.
"Can you please get out of our friend?"
"Hmmmm... No, I don't think I will."
"I don't want to do this..."Octavia raised her huge battle axe.
"If you hurt me. Your friend will also be injured... or killed."Valentina grinned evily. Something I didn't like seeing on her face. "How do we get you out, then?!"I desprately asked. Why... why did I do that? Ugh. Why did she have to be so pretty?
"Classified."The spirit inside of Valentina had said. Aella opened up a book, flipping through the pages. "It's a Dybbuk, you get rid of it with exorsism. Or if it fullfills its task at hand."
"Which... is?"I asked, looking over at the spirit.
"I want to see my daughter again."The Dybbuk announced.
"Huh, can't be too hard. She lives here, correct?"Aella questioned.
"Yes."The spirit answered.
The Dyubbuk lead us to a retirment home. Dang, if this was the spirit's daughter... the spirit must've been really old. Valentina- er- The Dybbuk walked up to the counter and uttered a name. "Michelle Auburn. I would like to visit her."The mortal at the counter didn't seem to notice Valentina's glowing eyes.
"You just missed her. Heart attack last week."The mortal said, typing on his keyboard.
"She... what?"The spirit stepped back.
"Hey... it's okay.."I touched the spirit's shoulder, and I got thrown into a wall. "AGH!"I groaned, my back felt like it just shattered.
"Woah! CALM DOWN!"Octavia yelled at the spirit. All of the mortals looked dazed and confused. Mortals saw things differently... there was an air-like flame veil that covered their vision. It made them see things... differently.
"SHE'S GONE! SHE'LL NEVER COME BACK! I-I'M GONNA KILL THIS BODY!"The spirit ran out the door. I stood up, nearly falling over.
"We have to- help Valentina."I say, Aella threw a canteen to me. I caught it and sipped what I thought would be sweet tasting healing water... but in actuality my mouth was filled with the taste of gasoline.
"Ugh... What is this?"I asked.
"Hell-Fire! Hurry up!"Aella ran out the door followed by Octavia. I ran with them.
