The Conjuring 3 - The Devil Made Me Do It

She's Got It Out For Me

"This demon...it's not here of its own free will. It was summoned" Lorraine said. "You do realise that does not make me feel better" Alexandra commented as Lorraine paced back and forth in front of her and Ed. "That means, we know that this is a curse, and curses can be broken" Lorraine added as she sat on a chair in front of the other two.

"Alright, then how do we do that?" Ed asked. "Back at the Glatzel house, I touched David's hand and I saw something. I didn't know what it was then. But I think I was connected to the person who is responsible for this. Ed, Alex, that body they found...if it's Jessica, if it's really her, then that connection could still be open" Lorraine explained.

"There's gotta be another way" Ed shook his head.

"What if...what if whatever is following me...is this demon? Is the one doing all of this?" Alexandra voiced her thoughts and Lorraine inhaled deeply. "Because...if that's the case then I technically have a connection open to them too. And I'm not too sure that's something I'm happy about" Alexandra continued.

The three of them arrived at the Palmeri Funeral Home, Lorraine frantically knocking on the front doors as Ed and Alexandra helped each other up the stairs to the front doors.

"There's nobody there" Lorraine sighed, turning towards the car. Alexandra quickly looked around the street before holding her hand out towards Ed. He frowned at her before handing the cane over when she gestured for it.

She looked around once more before driving the end of it into the glass door, creating a hole wide enough for her to fit her hand inside. Lorraine looked at her in shock as Ed smirked proudly, taking his cane back. "What? They're dead, it's not like they're gonna mind" Alexandra shrugged as she put her hand through the glass, Ed stifling a laugh as Lorraine looked at him.

The trio walked inside, Ed grabbing a flashlight from the main area of the funeral home and they continued down a dark hallway, turning and seeing double doors. Lorraine and Ed pushed them open and Alexandra turned on the light in the room.

The room was full of covered dead bodies, each on their own gurney or table. "Oh" Alexandra said, shivering slightly. "Would now be a good time to say that I don't like looking at dead bodies?" Alexandra wondered aloud and Ed looked at her.

"I don't think anyone does" he retorted. "Oh, no. No, some do" she nodded, looking at the man. He frowned before a look of realisation overcame his features. "Oh" he realised, his nose scrunching up in disgust. "If I have to think about it, you do too" Alexandra shrugged before walking off to try and find the correct body.

Alexandra felt drawn towards a body in the corner of the room so she went over there, lifting up the name tag. 'Bruno' was all she needed to read to know that this was the man Arne had killed when he was possessed. "Ed. Alex" Lorraine called softly and Alexandra quickly walked away from the body and towards Lorraine.

"That's her" Lorraine said. "Lorraine, maybe...maybe I should do it?" Alexandra offered. "Absolutely not. If this is already affecting you like it is, this could make it worse. I can do this" Lorraine immediately denied, moving the cloth to reveal the dead person's hand.

Lorraine whimpered as she grabbed the dead woman's slimy hand and she hesitantly clenched the hand and exhaled. "Do you see anything?" Ed asked as he and Alexandra watched Lorraine. "No. There's nothing. There's nothing here. I'm not sensing it" Lorraine shook her head before moving her head to the left.

"Lorraine?" Alexandra asked. "The connection. It's here" Lorraine breathed, moving her head a couple of times as if she was looking around.

"Do you see anything?" Ed asked. "Yes. Yes, there are...some stairs. I heard a train. But now...there's an altar" Lorraine said, her voice soft. "Shit" Alexandra murmured. "All those black candles. There's 12 of them. In a circle. Oh..." Lorraine said.
