....oh fuck ? What?

Scarlet looked then at the priest confused why tf did this priest exorcist something.

"There, there, don't curse in this house of God." the old man says.

"Now then, demon, be gone in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit."

The demon seems to chuckle, as the priest mutters the incantation to drive them from her body.

The demon lets out a roar of rage, as Scarlet stomach begins to convulse and black goo spews from her throat as it is exorcised from her body.

The Priest takes Scarlet hand and give her some water.

As the old priest hands her a glass of water, her parched throat finally gets some much-needed moisture. While she sip it, he says, "You've been possessed by a demon, my child. I have just exorcised them from your body as God intended. You are safe now, my child. Now you must not sin and follow His path. Now go home."

Feeling still weak and shaken from the possession, she mutter a weak, "...thank you."

As the old man departs, she start to process what has just happened to her. But as she turn to leave the church, Scarlet accidentally bump into someone - or another priest. Surprised to find a young priest in the church, she apologize, "Oop-..I'm sorry."

To her surprise, the young priest's expression suddenly shifts from dull to gentle and kind. His face is no longer dark, and his aura is full of innocence and a sense of warmth. Brushing off the sudden change in his expression, Scarlet thank him and make her way out of the church.

Still processing the strange events that have just unfolded, she decide to return home to gather her thoughts and figure out what to do next. As she walk away, she can't help but wonder what other secrets the church holds - and what other dangers she may face in her journey toward the truth.

She took a deep breath, trying to calm the racing thoughts in her mind, but the memories of the strange void and the possession by a demon kept swirling in her head. As she approached the familiar average house, the sight of it gave her a sense of comfort and familiarity.

It was small but not too small, just the right size for a home. The first floor had a living room, kitchen, and dining room, while the second floor was all bedrooms. Her room was on the second floor, and as she entered it, she felt a sense of relief and safety wash over her.

As she made her way to her bed, she started to reflect on the events that led her to this moment. She couldn't remember much, but she knew that she had been somewhere else, somewhere dark and terrifying. And the fact that she was possessed by a demon, it sent chills down her spine.

But now that she was home, in the safety of her own bed, she felt like she could finally take a break and process everything that had happened. She leaned back on her pillow, closed her eyes, and tried to calm her heart beat, taking deep breaths and focusing on the sound of her own breathing.

Despite everything, though, she couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for the old man who had exorcized the demon from her body and the young priest who had helped her on her way home. She knew that without them she could have been in a lot more danger, and the fact that they had helped her, it made her feel grateful and hopeful that maybe things were going to be okay after all.

While in deep thought Scarlet decided to take a bath. She stepped into the hot bath, letting the lukewarm water wash away the memories of the day's events. As she sat in the bath, she couldn't help but think about the young priest who had helped her.
