Now that Danielle's children were on earth, David was becoming more agitated because he knew they were planning something, David had been in prison since he was convicted of the murders of ex-wife Danielle Wolfe and Tommy Lynley. Though doubts had reigned down in the minds of others, George Gently and Shane Watkins both knew what David was capable of, and they could not take the risk of the latter committing suicide just to get Danielle in the afterlife.
Meanwhile, it was a beautiful day and Brennan was out doing the gardening along with her daughter Christine, Booth was out shopping with his sons Hank and Parker who enjoyed helping their dad with the shopping. Brennan had just returned inside her home and was washing her hands in the sink when she heard footsteps – heavy and fast – she looked around but could see no one around.
She quickly ran over to the back door to check on Christine, but she could not see her daughter at all; "Christine?!" She started calling for her daughter. "Christine, where are you?" She called again. Panic was now starting to set in for Brennan as she knew that her daughter would always come to her when she heard her mother calling her name, Brennan ran around the back garden looking for her daughter; "Christine Angela, answer me." She yelled, trying to hold back both tears and anger.
"Brennan?" A male voice called out to her. She looked around to see who was calling her name, and she answered; "Yes." Then the male voice called out again. "Brennan, come to me. You know where I am."
"Where are you?" She asked. "I am in the dark as always." The voice replied as it placed Brennan in a trans-like state, she followed the voice and went inside the house, where she headed down into the cold, dark and gloomy basement. "I am here." She said to the voice. The man behind the voice showed himself to be Alejandro Maurietta; "Who are you?" she asked in a shaky tone of voice while stepping backwards, he smiled at her.
"You know who I am. I have so many names within your Christianity, say my name." Alejandro replied in his thick Spanish accent. Brennan stopped walking backwards as if she were under the Devil's control. "Say my name Brennan, you already know it."
"Satan."
"That is good girl. It was not that hard, was it?"
Brennan breathed heavily; "What do you want from me?"
"Isn't it obvious?" He responded. Brennan swallowed hard as she looked away knowing that Satan could hypnotize her at any time. "I want you to join me."
"No." Brennan resisted. "Think of it Temperance, the ability to use your powers as you see fit. The people you could save, innocents being protected, evil being destroyed. You can do anything you want too; your powers are your own, and with me at my side, you will have free will over your powers."
Brennan looked confused; "I am a clairvoyant."
Satan smiled with contempt, for he knew that she is more than just a clairvoyant; "No my dear, you are a Witch. Your ancestor was a witch like you, she was a powerful witch who was burned at the stake for her magic. Think of how you could punish the descendants of those people who murdered your ancestor, a rage like no other, as you punish those who deserve it." Satan explained while showing Brennan visions of her immense powers and what she could do with it should she side with Satan.
Brennan cried during the visions as innocent people are killed, and the descendants of the people who had murdered her ancestor, screamed in pain as they suffered torturous deaths at the hands of Brennan herself. Brennan screamed out; "NOOOOOOO." The visions ended with Satan stood with his hands behind his back.
"I WILL NEVER JOIN YOU!! I was given this power so I could stop you and save innocent lives out there from your evil grasp." Brennan said resisting the temptation of Satan's influence and choose to stand by God his mortal enemy. Satan, however, angered by Brennan's rejection to join him and her loyalty to God, pulled out a gun and pointed at her. His eyes turned pure red with rage as he cocked his gun and decided to kill Brennan for her rejection.
Only screams distract Satan long enough for Brennan to wake up in her bed next to her husband Booth, who wakes up and shot up to tend to his wife; "You ok baby?" he asked his wife, noticing the terrified look on her face and the fear in her eyes. "He is here Booth." She replied in a shaky voice.
"Who is here, Brennan."
Brennan looked at her husband with tears forming in his eyes; "Satan. He tried to seduce me with promises of using my powers how I wanted too; but I said no Booth. One of my ancestors was a witch like me, and she was burned at the stake for her magic, Satan is mad at me because I rejected him. My powers were given to me to help people, not take revenge on those who he believes deserve to be injured or killed." Brennan stopped to breathe as Booth pulled her into his arms.
"It is going to be ok. I am here for you, and I will not let Satan hurt you ok babe." He replied as she nodded. "Thank you."
"Your welcome babe." He said before kissing her temple and hugging her more. After going back to sleep, they wake up and go to the church to see the head priest, Father Justin O'Carroll, who greets them with ease. "Good morning, how may I help you?" he asked politely.
"Hey Father, I am just wondering if you can reassure my wife that she is going to be okay." Booth replied his voice dripped with concern which Father Justin noticed. "What happened?"
"I had a dream about Satan." Brennan began in a reply. "He tried to seduce me with the promises of using powers how I wanted, but I rejected him and now, I believe he is after me because of the rejection."
Father Justin sat next to her; "Listen, Satan cannot get to you. His greatest threat is not to you or your body, it is your soul. The Devil will use what he can to convince you to join him, and if he uses promises of free will on using your powers however you like, then that is what he will do. But if you are strong enough to resist him, then you are safe because if you turn from God, we will help to free you unless you have taken an innocent life to prove your loyalty to the devil, then your soul will belong to him and not to God."
"I will never join Satan. God gave me my gift, why would I turn on him?" Brennan replied.
"You will be surprised at how many people who have been given a gift from God, like you, have turned their backs on God and joined Satan. There have only been a few cases in which we have been able to save some of them, but they committed suicide because Satan would not let them go." He explained once more to her.
Brennan had made her mind up; she was not going to betray God and she would keep fighting Satan because her gift was from God, and she was going to treasure it. The couple left the church as Father Justin fire transported out and onto the roof where he joined his brother Satan and his nephew Dahak; "Well done brother." Satan noted to the way his brother had handle Brennan.
"Reverse psychology brother is a magnificent, beautiful thing, especially when you know how it works." Father Justin replied. "What about Brennan, pappy?" Dahak asked his father. Satan looked at Brennan and Booth as they walked away hand in hand; "I will have her on my side. Her powers will be enough to ensure that I do not get sent back to hell."
"And if she does not join you brother?"
"Then she will die by my hand." Satan replied to his younger brother.
