possessed by darkness

Chapter Six: The Deadly Mistake

Miranda's P.O.V

A moment of peace and tranquility, we were hanging with friends and guardians. This was the time that we were so sure that our path was clear from here on out. I had finally got used to possession at that point and it was common to ask my name and realize that Miranda wasn't there. (when you are being possessed you feel dizzy and sometimes get a headache. You feel yourelf slipping away and you are shoved deep into your soul.The spirit that takes control can choose wheather or not to let you have some control of your body. if you don't have control, you will not remember the possession when the spirit leaves. Otherwise you will remember.)

During the aftermath of Dylan, the things that Marci and I had to watch out for were the symptoms of after shock. Which means that since I killed Dylan I was vulnerable and could possibly summon her back and join her side. The thing is, I wasn't the only one who could summon her back, just wait untill you hear about our next big problem!

I never thought that the simple killing of evil would bring revolution on the good, but that was what would soon happen. Lily and I were playing scrabble and after a game she wanted to try to communicate with the dead. She held the scrabble letters in her hand and asked oif anyone was there and if they wanted to talk to us. She then droopped the letters onto the table and we saw the word yes spelled out in the letters.

We continued the conversation and learned that her name was Karen. Just as we wre going to bed Marci took control of my body.

"Don't trust karen!" She said. Marci sat on the bed and began crying silently. "Whatever I just saw outside of the window, it isn't good. Karen has had her eyes on us since Dylan was killed. The only way she could hurt us is by contacting us, and you let her in Lily. She made contact and now she can attack!" Marci whispered in panic, for she thought that this was over, but she was wrong, we were all wrong!

Marci left and I went to bed in a daze, Did Lily and I seriously just let a demon into our lives? This was all I could think about, and the more I thought about it the more I wished that I could die. When I awoke the next morning we realized that Lily had a connection with Karen, just like the connection I had with Dylan! Karen was simply observing us, which beat the hell out of attack but it kept me on the edge.

I hated having to tell everyone that we were up for round two, but I did and of course they were all disapointed. (At this point Nakiah had stopped coming to the marina cause she had moved her boat to another place. Genna didn't come to visit too much anymore, and that left me, Lily, Shannon, and Peyton who wasn't exactly part of this 'cause she didn't get targeted by karen or Dylan.)

By the second day Lily told me that an attack was planned for the third day. I was prepared and ready to face the darkness of that saturday night. I was hoping for a way out of this, it would take a miracle. Against all odds I get pretty lucky in this story, maybe I should play the lottery?

Marci's P.O.V

I decided to play a few tricks on Karen and try to get her to switch sides. I was in the bathroom when Miranda walked in. She asked me where the bad vibe was coming from.

"It's me, I can play the role of a demon if I want to." I said with an evil smile.

"So basically you're going to start war with her?" I heard her ask as she walked to the sink.

"Yea, so you don't want to be in here." I warned her, for I knew what could happen if she stayed in there with me. Her energy could be taken and that would leave her unconsious which means Karen could possess her. That would have been bad!

"Got it." She said as she headed for the door. "Marci? What's happening? I can feel her closing in on us!"

"Don't worry! Just get out of here and you'll be fine!" I said. She made a quick run for the door and just barely got out in time! I breathed a huge sigh of relief, a weight had just been lifted off of my shoulders. "She's safe!" I said to myself. I turned to face the monster sitting in the rafters. "Here we go!" I whispered. It was a war of good and bad energy, I was dodging in and out and running through the stalls of the bathroom. Karen growled at me and I growled back.

"Leave us alone! We only want to be friends with you! Please, join us on our side!" I pleaded. She made a move for the door and I almost stopped her but I decided to give her some time to think.

Miranda's P.O.V

I was in the marina with Shannon, Lily, and Peyton. Lily was explaining everything that was going on inside Karen's head.

"She's curious how friendship works." Lily said calmly. Her tranquility made me feel much safer. Lily wanted Karen to switch sides more than anyone because she lacked a guardian, and at this point she needed one. If we were to keep getting attacked by demons, wheather or not you had a quardian was the answer to wheather or not you lived. The next night would be the night of the attack.

Saturday morning I was quite scared because I knew that I would have to stay alive through the night. We didn't really focus on that dreaded night, we just hung out with friends most of the time. Lily kept us updated on what was happening and that afternoon she brought news that made me feel a lot better about the approaching nightfall.

"Marci was trying to make Karen a guardian right?" Lily asked.

"Yea." I replied.

"Well, she did good! Her plan worked!" She said excitedly.

"No way!"

"Yea." She said. "I've got a guardian now." I was amazed, after three days we have put an end to the demons!

"But the road isn't clear yet, a girl named Marilyn was controlling her and telling her to attack us." Lily explained.

"So you mean Marilyn is the new demon?" I asked.

"Yea." She said sadly. The horror had to continue and all of our work was simply rewarded with another demon! I guess we would have to get used to it, there most likely wouldn't be an end to this living horror film. We were trapped for life!
