-----Nicole and the demon were locked in an intense staring contest. The demon sneered thinking of a hundred different ways to torture and filet the woman in front of him while Nicole battled whether or not she should exorcise the demon inside her father while her sister stood nearby.
Toni was very confused by her family's behavior, looking between the two. "Dad? Nicole? What's going on?" She asked worriedly. "Dad, you can sit down you know...uh, Nicole-"
"Toni, I need you to listen carefully. Get my keys and go to work, right now. And whatever you hear, just keep walking." Nicole said evenly, not taking her eyes from the demon in front of her.
Toni's head whipped so fast, she thought she got whiplash. 'Did her sister say what she really just said?' "You want me to drive Fireball?" Toni asked, "your precious?" She said in her Gollum voice. Nicole rolled her eyes at the impression. She also wondered why that was Toni's only takeaway, but brushed it off for the time being.
Nicole didn't like the idea either, yet she couldn't bear her sister watching her exorcise their father who in turn may be dead already. Nicole wasn't in the mood to explain how she knew about demons and exorcisms. She also wanted to question who hell was inside her father and why.
"Oh no, don't leave now; she's the one I'm here for," Peter hissed, redrawing Nicole's focus. Was he serious? She definitely wanted to question him now.
"Dad, what are you-"
"Don't say another word to him."
"Why? He's our dad!" Toni exclaimed. The demon began to laugh, making Toni look his direction. Once calm, his eyes flashed to black. Toni screamed, stepping away from the man who she thought was her dad.
Nicole groaned then grabbed her sister, "Toni, I need you to keep calm, ok? Breathe for me, I can't have you hyperventilating right now," Toni nodded, taking heavy breaths. 'Peter' was watching the exchange, laughing once more. "Ok, you good?" She asked.
Toni nodded her head, "no, I'm not."
"Great. What I need you to do is go into my room. Under my bed there is a big bag of rock salt, I need you to open it, and then pour a line of it at every window and other exit points." Nicole explained quickly. "Can you do that?"
"Sure, but why wo-"
"Don't ask questions, just do as I say!"
Toni scrambled away, taking one more backwards glance before doing as her sister said. Nicole shook her head before facing the demon.
"Now we get some alone time," the demon winked. "You know we're gonna have to tell her eventually. How'd do you think she'll react to your little dark hobby?" He mocked. Nicole ignored him as she headed into the kitchen. She produced some more salt from the pantry and a pitcher from under the sink.
She walked around the kitchen then to the front door, lining as she went till the container was empty. He kept taunting her till she stood before him, the jug of water concealed behind her. "...I can't wait! First her childhood and now this, you're doing a bang up job sis," he sneered.
Nicole's eye twitched, not saying a word. She knew how demons worked and knew it was better not to give in. Popping off the plastic lid, she pulled the water from behind her. The plastic water pitcher looked like your garden variety carton...except for the cross and rosary that floated inside of it.
Nicole smirked, seeing the smug smile wiped away from the demon's face. She took a swallow of the water, filling her cheeks then she spat in his face. The demon screamed, his face sizzling from the contact.
