Entropy

I| Chapter VI: What's Taking Over Her

Nobody has gotten any sleep from the worry of Ivelisse. Even though Blathnaid closed the portals, the danger has not subsided. The drinks helped us pay no mind and try to sleep.

This is the day the dangerous blizzard is predicted to arrive. This is odd for Englanders to experience this because our climate is mainly temperate and boring due to the fact that we are surrounded by the ocean. This blizzard is going to compete against the old blizzard in 1981. Let's see if it can top that or die off.

My father doesn't return back to the house. He does need to plan what he is going to do with me after this. I bet five pounds that he is going to throw me out or become estranged when this is over. Speaking of getting kicked out, the coven kicked Lucas out of the house for multiple reasons. They figured out his past from Ivelisse and for assaulting Ivelisse. There's no way he's returning. They only give him money for a hotel for a couple of days and he needs to find somewhere else to live. They are giving him no compassion even if there's a blizzard out there.

The coven and I sit in the living room while Ella prepares coffee. We are all yawning and eating breakfast.

"How was your sleep?" I ask Ella while she hands me some coffee.

She nervously laughs. "What is that?"

I take that as a no. I turn towards Rick, who appears used to not sleeping. "How's Ivelisse?"

"She is resting. She is still scarred from last night," Rick replies.

I don't blame her.

"The next few days are going to be hectic," Dominique states, referring to the blizzard and our situation.

"We all can agree. We're stacked up for it and have backup power," Ella reassures her.

Blathnaid enters the living room, holding her journal and a book from the library. The book with magic decorations all over it. She looks more stressed than usual, but she is contained.

"I did more research about this spell," she states, "There's a problem."

"Obviously," Dominique sarcastically replies.

"When doing the spell, there is a chance for the portal to grow within oneself. It's more likely for those that failed, communicated with alternative dimensional beings, and multiple attempts. Possession is likely in those cases. It also causes portals to open in the failed attempts since the energy doesn't fully close off like in successful ones. Well, almost."

"It's like a wide invitation for multiple entities to notice and take control. I highly doubt they are weak. They saw Ivelisse as an opportunity to get into our world. She failed multiple times. When she succeeded, we don't know if she talked to them."

"There's also a time limit..."

"I beg your pardon?"

"It's advised to remove the entities from her body within two weeks and if she remains open, she will most likely be a permanent vessel to them. It's at that point that her soul is completely in the hole."

"Jesus Christ," Ella distressfully cusses, "We spent a week trying to do a banishment and two of our friends got killed. We already spent two days this week. The priest left and another member got expelled. Anyone got ideas?"

"How about we shut the portal inside her first?" I suggest, "Before banishment?"

"Can't we just send those back into the portal before closing it up?!" Dominique also suggests, "Naomi doesn't have any experience in the occult."

"Doesn't mean I don't know anything about it," I roll my eyes, annoyed. Actual translation: Is my family a joke to you? Oh wait, you barely heard about my family's history. If I decide to write an autobiography, you might assume it's in the fantasy-horror genre.
