Ghosts and Demons

Chapter 5

She ignored me. It wasn't a big surprise.

She went to her bag, and pulled out writing. She examined the writing until the clock reached ten.

The next day she had a math class at ten thirty. She went to class and came back with two pages of homework. She had to do it before she headed to the building. The math was hard, it took her until twelve, since she got out of class at eleven. She left at twelve thirty.

Once she came she walked to the investigation room. There were people there, but she knew to just get the file, and leave. She went to another investigation room, and opened the folder. Everything was gone. I stared at the folder, and instantly knew that it was John. John had stolen the papers. He had to have possessed someone to do this. Annamarie looked to me. It was like she read my mind.

"Was this the work of the demon?" she asked.

"There is no way to tell for sure, but it probably was him," I told her.

"Dangit. Do you think that we could recover the tape that the recording was on."

"I don't know. Go ask Alex."

"I'll find someone who knows."

She walked out of the room. To me it looked like she was wandering, and even now I'm not sure. Alex walked by. I saw her. I saw a demon.

"There is no use in asking her," I mentioned,"She is possessed by another demon. Stay away."

Annamarie ignored Alex, finally putting something I say to use. "Alex" still spoke anyway.

"Hi Annamarie how are you?"

"I am good, and you?"

"Good. You do realize that you can't solve the case you're working on, right?"

"No. I will prove my mother innocent."

I stared at "Alex". The possession was starting to wear off. I could tell that it was a weak demon. I looked at her eyes, trying to see who was in her. I saw none other than James. I wasn't sure about the reason my family was after me then.

Suddenly Alex's eyes were normal again. James came spewing out of her.

"James why are you here?" I barked at him.

"Oh just helping my good old cousin, as all.'

"I assume that would be John, am I right, or right."

"You're right."

"Why are you after me?" I grunted.

"We have always hated our family."

"Why kill people over it?"

"Because we can." The instant he said that, he flew away at the speed of light.

"Thank you," I hear Annamarie say

"You're welcome anytime," Alex responded.

I had gotten back into reality. I noticed Annamarie walking away. She also had noticed that she had a very happy, and determined, smile. I hoped that it was because she would be able to recover the footage. I was not correct.

"Why are you smiling?"

Once she walked into the room she was previously in, she responded by saying,"I have a plan."

"What kind of plan do you have."

"Oh, nothing," she concealed.

"Well can you get the footage?"

"No, but I can get the footage of my mother in the interrogation room."

"Is that footage part of your plan?"

"Yeah, sure."

"So how can you use the footage." Then I caught a glimpse of her pulling out her phone.

"I can contact a paranormal investigation company, and put the footage through one of their filters."

"You can't do that."

"Yes I can.," she countered,"Hey, I need you to see if my mother is possessed."

"Why?"

"I can show the difference of my mother possessed, and not possessed."

"Okay."

I flew out of the room, heading towards the prison. I started to think.

Why were they after me again. They did this about ten years ago. What is the purpose? Well the have always wanted to challenge me to something.Maybe they are just trying to beat me. They already have, they need to just leave now.

Before I knew it I was in front of Annamarie's mother. I could see John lingering above her head. He took a glance at me, and that glance turned into a glare quickly.

"What is your problem?" he growled, with an echo, and many layers topping each other.

"Why did you possess this woman?" I pryed.

"Why did I possess her?" he replied to me,"I missed the feeling of a knife piercing through the fragile human skin. I missed the feeling of blood splashing onto my face. I guess you could simply say that I missed stabbing though." He started to look like he was going more insane with every word.
