The Conjuring 2

A Demon, A Vision and a New Case

It was a few days later and Alexandra was walking into the kitchen when she saw Ed painting. "Hey, what are you doing up?" she smiled, taking a seat opposite him. "Ah, couldn't sleep. You?" he shrugged, looking around the canvas at her.

"Oh, I've been having trouble sleeping lately. Nightmares" she smiled tiredly. "Wanna talk about it?" he offered. "It's alright. What are you painting?" Alexandra changed the subject. "Oh, just this thing I saw in my dream. Couldn't get it out of my head so I thought painting it might help" he frowned.

Alexandra stood up and walked behind him with a smile, her face falling when she saw what he was painting: the nun from her and Lorraine's vision. She took in a shaky breath and turned around, walking into the kitchen.

She leant against the counter as she tried to stop her hands from shaking. It wasn't long before Lorraine walked into the kitchen, having the exact same reaction as the younger woman.

"Hey, I know I'm no Picasso, but I didn't think I was that bad" Ed leant against the doorframe and looked between the two women sarcastically. Lorraine stood there, looking worried as Alexandra turned around to face Ed with tears in her eyes. "What?" Ed asked, realising that neither of them were joking.

"No more investigations, no more cases. We can still do interviews and talks but no more cases" Lorraine's voice wavered as she stood next to Alexandra. "Why not?" Ed frowned, walking towards them. "That thing in your painting is real and it is haunting me and Alex. You remember a few years ago when I saw...and then Amityville last year? That entity, that demon, was there both times" Lorraine explained.

"Alright. No more cases" Ed nodded and wrapped them both in a hug.

It was later in the day and Alexandra, Lorraine and Judy were all sitting in the living room when a noise sounded out from the hallway. Judy got up to look and Alexandra immediately followed her, Lorraine close behind. Alexandra froze as she and Judy saw what had made the noise and Lorraine came up behind them.

"Sweetie? What is it?" Lorraine frowned, placing a hand on her daughter's arm. "Mom. Who is that?" Judy asked softly, pointing to the end of the hallway. "Get behind me" Alexandra breathed, stepping in front of the girl, who proceeded to cling to her jacket.

"Sweetie, go back to the living room and call your father" Lorraine stepped in front of Judy as the nun turned and walked into a room. "It's okay, Jude's. Go" Alexandra reassured the young girl, who quickly left. Alexandra and Lorraine followed the nun into the office and they looked around, seeing nothing, causing Alexandra to frown.

As she turned around, she saw eyes on the wall and her breath caught in her throat as Lorraine saw it as well. The older woman reached forward and turned on the lamp, revealing the eyes to be from the painting Ed made and they both sighed in relief.

Alexandra saw something move out the corner of her eye and she turned to look. She saw the shadow of the nun on the wall and she got Lorraine's attention, never taking her eyes off the shadow as it turned and moved around the room towards the painting.

The two women turn to follow it and the shadow stopped behind the painting, both Alexandra and Lorraine staring at it as old, grey hands came out the side of the painting and the eyes blink. A growl emitted from the painting as the nun became corporeal, running straight at the women with the painting in front of its face.

They both screamed and started quickly walking backwards before they both tripped over boxes and landed on the floor. They both got up and found themselves in a dark basement, Alexandra quickly recognising it to be the basement from her vision last year.

The same scene played out with Ed stepping out of the shadows except this time he said something. "I'm sorry, Lorraine" he said in a strained voice before the same large wooden spike impaled him. Lorraine screamed as a tear slid down Alexandra's cheek and she closed her eyes, opening them to see Judy trying to wake up Lorraine as she furiously stabbed something into her bible.
