Reliqua

Chapter 5

He rang the doorbell; he stood still and waited for a person to open the door. He was thrilled to know what will the presbyter say on what they could do to kill the succubus that killed Trevor, he really have no idea how to fight demons but that’s what exorcists are for right.?

        His thoughts were cut when somebody opened the door and greeted him. A small medium built, with dark brown eyes and white hair, greeted him with a delighted smile.

‘Good afternoon! How can I help you?’

‘Well you see, my son’s a victim of a succubus and I was thinking that an exorcist might help.’

‘Oh you came to the right place! Where is he?’

‘He’s in the car’

‘Well let me see him’

‘Come with me.’

        The presbyter followed him; the presbyter was shocked when he saw a corpse inside his car. He thought that the victim was just ill but this was an unusual sight for him.

‘Oh by the way I’m Father Abdulkareem’

‘Fredrick Craig’ the presbyter shook his hand,

‘Let’s go inside’

        Fredrick followed him in to the office. Well for Fredrick it wasn’t really an office. It was more of a living room than office; well it really was a living room. They made it that approachable so that people could be comfortable.

‘Well what do you want to do with him?’

‘Well actually I just wanted to kill the succubus to at least make my son happy because I can get him revenge.’

‘We can do that but,’

‘But what?’

‘I dreamt about God last night he told us about the reliqua’

‘Reliqua?’

‘It’s a Latin word that means rest; God will be taking a rest’

‘When will it be?’

‘Tomorrow’

‘What?!’

‘It means that even though we try to kill that succubus she will just get stronger to the point that we could lose’

‘So, what could you suggest?’

‘Don’t tell anybody I told you this, you take him to the Land of Moriah’

‘What’s the connection?”

‘You haven’t been reading the bible my boy’ Father Abdulkareem chuckled.

‘I’m sorry because I wasn’t really a religious person’

‘Oh I see, but you’re a Catholic?’

‘Yes’

‘Your son?’

‘Yeah, but I wasn’t there to witness his baptismal.’ Guilt was killing Fredrick.

‘Well the Land of Moriah was the place where a father was tested by God, God told him to bring his one and only son as burnt offering, and surprisingly he did, God was pleased and stopped him and sent a lamb instead.’

‘Why would he do that?’

‘He wanted to know if the father was loyal to Him.’

‘What would happen if I do so?’

‘Rumor has it that if you chose the right mountain, He will grant one wish, anything! Even if the most impossible thing in the whole universe.’
