Several days after Anna's parents discovered about Michael hiding under their roof, and everything else, the father, who's the important person in the family, must go and do his best in buying the one important thing the kids need to save Michael from the demon possessing his dead brain: The Book of Shadows.

Frederick, the father, or Fred for short, is ready to participate for the auction event, filled with important antique pieces of human history.

Fred has kept a small little recorder under his shirt, to give access to the recording inside the room, so the family, including Michael himself, could hear everything and make sure he gets it.

-Are y'all ready?- Anna is in the living room, with everyone else.

They nodded their heads to "yes".

Michael leans his head on his hands, trying to stay focused, positive, like he's praying.

-It's alright, buddy. We'll get there.- Anna tells Michael to stay calm.

-We just have to keep the faith...-

A few days before this is happening, Anna was about to leave school when she finds Eric waiting by the corner at the hallway.

He noticed something was odd on her.

-Hey Anna. Is everything alright?- He kindly asked her.

-I'm fine. It's just...- She seems very nervous.

-What's wrong?-

-Alright! Mom and dad found out about Michael... and mom hit Mike in the head, decapitating him with an object last night...-

-Say what?! They found him?! How?-

-Michael was sneaking in the kitchen, and mom caught him by mistake. But don't worry, no one was hurt...-

-Hurt? Did it hurt when Michael got his head fallen off? Is he alright?-

-Michael still lives. He's not like those zombies from movies where you kill them by their heads. You know, Michael is way difficult to kill. Besides, we all had a tough conversation and they understood us. My brother got grounded tho...-

-Did you guys tell them about the murders?-

-Yes. They were shocked! They never imagined that a flesh eating zombie celebrity was under their roof! At first they thought he was gonna attack us, but Michael then slowly showed his true personality and self: his gentle and vulnerable self.-

-Oh fuck... I hope everything is OK back there. Everyone would have heard the noise!-

-We're alright. Mom and dad accepted Michael to stay until he gets a cure. We don't have much time. What if Michael goes berserk with that demon inside of him?-

-Looks like we can't ask an exorcist to save a literal zombie from a demon inside of him-

-Eric! This is serious! Dad told us that in a few days, he'll attend an auction event. The spell book will be there!-
