She wakes up being employed, FINALLY. She feels energetic ready to rock the world. She gets dressed and heads for her new office. In her way she reaches the park where sun is shining like a blazing sword, kids are playing like ice in rum, people are sitting and giggling, greenery everywhere. All of this was perfect like never before.
She finally reached her office. She got to the receptionist and asked, “Hey, I am Rue Canidom and I’m here for my first day.” “Alright, please wait a moment let me check.”, the receptionist replied. As she was checking in, Rue started checking the surrounding and found something weird. The painting of the devil that was there yesterday wasn’t there anymore. She felt a little weird but decided not to be weird today. “I am sorry Ms. Canidom but you never showed up”. TF, DOES SHE MEAN I NEVER SHOWED UP.
“What do you mean by that, I was here for the interview yesterday.”
“MAM, YOUR INTERVIEW WAS LAST WEEK”
“WHAT THE ACTUAL MOTHE-(NOT PG-13 WORDS)”
“I am so sorry mam”
She got out of the office all in an unhealthy mood. “What was I doing all the week, SLEEPING, HALLUTINATING, PROCASTONATING. How do I even have the memory of going for the interview when I didn’t go for the interview. How would I know how that receptionist looked like if I never went for the interview and all of that was a dream, more like a nightmare. I don’t know what to do. OH! I can do, DRUGS”.
She ran to her usual dealer, Carlos Dickson. His apartment was in an abandoned location. A bunch of small apartments near a construction site. She knocked his doors twice and then sat in front of that door resting on it. He opened the door; she fell on the floor and had another pause.
When she wakes up, she finds herself in her apartment in the middle of her living room-cum-kitchen, lying in the middle of a circle made of thick drug packets and two triangles crossing each other made of cocaine powder. She screams in a total sense of shock but it triggers the demon and the cocaine lights on fire. Being in the most fucked up situation till date, she tries to run as four rooted arms appeared from the floor and caught her leg trying to pull her back in the circle. She tries to kick them with her other leg, suffering to break free. She tries to grab a knife from the kitchen table. As she gets the knife, she aims for those creepy hand and went for a run. She opened her door and knocked at her neighbor’s apartment. An old lady opened the door.
She was an old Chinese lady in embroidery costume. “Morning dear, how can I help?”, she asked politely. ‘There is a demon after me.’ ‘What demon?’. As Rue turns back, she finds her apartment empty, completely wide open.
Was she really losing her mind or was the demon good at hiding. As she went back in, she turned back for closing the door where that lady was standing smiling back at her, but an awkward one. Rue grinded back and shut the door. She went to her bed and laid down, wanting to sleep but in a fear to have another day-mare, she couldn’t bear the risk of doing so. After a while there was a knock on the door. She cleared her head and opened the door. The were two men standing at her door in white nurse uniform. “Good evils mam, we received an information that you are mentally unstable”, one of the nurses said.
“I am sorry but you might have the wrong address, I am completely stable”, Rue replied. “But we can’t go anywhere without you, Devil’s orders.” the other nurse replied. “WHAT THE [UNAVAILABLE]”. Suddenly the two nurses started melting down and turned into four little minions. She ran to the end of her apartment to grab the phone when they started chasing her. She sat in a corner shrinking herself begging for her life calling them names. Then she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she looked up, she saw the nurses in front of her, in human form. This time there were four of them. “You guys multiplied”, she asked. ‘Yeah, we figured that you would be a tough case, so we brought company’. Rue gets up and agrees to go with them. They get down to the asylums van but all of a sudden Rue remembers about her missing items that she wanted to take with her, clothes and stuffs. The nurse agrees and one of them escorts her back to the apartment. She gets inside and start collecting her stuffs. She said, “You know I think I should take a last bath before heading down to the mental prison. (she turns to the nurse) you know like a last wish type of thing”. The nurse agrees but as she was getting inside, he started to stuff him inside the door.
“WOAH WOAH WOAH!, WOMEN’S ONLY YOU CREEP”
‘My apologies mam but you might try to escape’
‘How will I try to escape in this enclosed bathroom, besides what are you going to do here, hold my breasts’
“MAM, YOU ARE FLAT”
She just closed the door in self-disgust. After a while the nurse knocked on the door but she didn’t answer. When he forced to open the door, she immediately opened the door and said, “WHAT, WANNA JOIN”.
“No mam”, he replied “But we are getting late”. She got dressed and started packing her stuffs. “Hey, can you wait outside, I just need a minute if I will be away for a while”. “Sure”, came back the answer. He went outside and closed the door. After a while another one of the nurses came up to check after he saw the apartment window opened. They opened the door and went inside to check but she was gone.
She was in the alleyway hiding by the trashcan. After sometime when she thought they were gone she came out from hiding. She just couldn’t let anyone control her life.
STEP 3: Rebel
NOW THE BODY THAT IS BEING POSSESED WILL TRY TO REBEL THE DEMON, THUS ACKNOWLEDING ITS FINAL EXISTENCE
She decided to go to Clarise’s house, her only hope. She was walking towards her house she fell in front of an alleyway. She was hurt by the broken glass bottle on the floor. That when few older guys that looked broke came from the grasp of what they called home. ‘WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE IN THE DARK YOUNG LADY, LET US HELP YA’. She was terrified by the looks of it. She ran as fast as she could, bleeding, in pain but running for her life. Finaly with almost no hope she reached Clarise’s house. As she knocked on her door, she heard some giggles. “I know you are in there. Open the door. You aren’t visiting me anymore. You aren’t picking up my calls or replying to my texts. You are the only friend I have left. You are the only one who I can call a part of my life. If you will cut me off then there is nothing left for me in this world. Please, listen, if I did something wrong, I am sorry. I can be hurtful, to you and to myself, but I swear I will be better”. Finaly the door opened and we see Clarise dressed fancy, her lipstick a little messed up. “Come in Rue”, she said.
“Were you going somewhere”
“Nah! I was coming back from a party”
“Oh! I needed to talk to you”
“yeah sure rue”
“I am a mess. You won’t believe me but there is a demon who’s trying to conquer my soul. I know that it sounds crazy, but as crazy as it sounds is the level of pain I am going through at this very moment. A demon unworthy of my soul is willing to hurt the very thing that is left in me, hope. Hope to survive, hope to live another life, hope to be a part of a society which also excepts me, one day, to find a person who will hold me in his very arms and tell me that everything is fine. A demon that made me this much crazy to believe that my dead mother might be alive, a demon who mustn’t, and trust me my friend spirits never lie. My soul is on its verge at the scale of death and your trust must help me first before it gets me, HEY I BESEACH YOU FOR THY MERCY, I BESEACH YOU WITH MY PAIN, ENTRUSTING MY LIFE, ENTRUSTING FOR IT TO BE SAVED, OH MY NORMAL FRIEND”.
“What the fuck”, Clarise replied. “I am sorry I don’t know what got into my mind but I guess when there is a scar, a lot flows out of it with blood”. Clarise helped Rue sit down on the couch and they talked for hours about her problem. After a while, Clarise got up and said, “I am sorry Rue but I have to change into my regular cloths, I will be right back.”
After sometime her doorbell rang, “CAN YOU GET THAT RUE”, Clarise asked. Rue went to open the door but when she opened the door she found those nurses from her apartment standing there. When Rue tried to run this time, they grabbed her. She was fighting for her life when for her last glance she saw Clarise with a phone in her left hand and Marcus holding her right arm.
They threw her in the van and left. When they finally arrive at the asylum and when she entered the facility, there were many patients but in the form of demons.
