      Ariel's POV
"What? How? That's impossible you have the ring on your finger. No one else but us knows you're human." Fiona stated.

"No listen, think about it. Around the first day I was here, the Bubak attacked me and Jess. It put me in the sack. Sam, remember?" I turned Sam and she nodded slowly.

"Then after that, Jess was possessed by a demon and it tried to attack me. And now, it clawed my foot and Jess!" Everyone looked at each other in disbelief, finally letting the information sink in.

"Well, I understand why it would go after you, but why Jess?" Stella asked.

"Because Jess would be punished if she doesn't kill Ariel for being human." Sam interfered.

"Sam, you knew?" Manny went and disposed the head.

"I've known Jess since the institution days, of course I know."

"So do I." I quietly said as their all went on me.

"I mean, I knew as well that she'll be punished."

"How do you know?"

"She told me herself, the same day I met you guys." I confessed.

Everyone was silent, not making a comment on what was said.

"Well why would she even be punished for not killing her? I don't get it." Stella asked.

"That, I don't entirely know." I looked down, playing with my fingers.

"I do." Sam interfered.

"Of course you do, and I would ask, why?" Manny shouted from the kitchen.

"That, I have no place in saying because the reason is so fucked up, you have to hear it from her. But she panics when people ask what happened so might as well drop it." Sam turned and walked up to her room.

"Well what are we supposed to do? We have to stop him." Fiona added.

"Stop who?" Sam asked from the top of the stairs.

"Satan, hello?? I thought we're talking about him." She nervously chuckled.

"You're out of your god damn mind." Sam walked back down stairs before continuing.

"Satan, also known as the devil, the Dark Lord, Lucifer Morningstar, can not and I mean, CAN NOT, be defeated. He's the strongest in all the realm. They say he's stronger than Jesus Christ and God himself. If anyone try and stop him, he will have you killed, even if you're immortal like Jess, Stella, and I. So if you want to do that, good luck with that." She turned away and walked into her room.

"Not trying to change the subject or anything, but I owe Jess a door for breaking it down the other day." Manny added as he walked out of the kitchen with a glass of rum.

"Well whatever's happening, we will be by Jess' and your side at all times." Fiona placed a hand on my shoulder for comfort and I smiled lightly.

"No, Jess can handle things on her own, she's dealt with shit coming at her way." Benny disagreed.

"I believe both of you are wrong." Manny said.

He walked out into the large living room and sat down on the couch before continuing.

"I noticed that Jess has been getting very paranoid quickly. Early this evening, she's the first to noticed that monster in the water, I went after her because I sensed that something was bothering her, so I went and checked on her. I then saw that thing in the water and I saw how scared she was, that's when you know, shits about to hit the fan. I can tell Jess is scared for her life." Manny told them his side of the story. Before he could continue, someone interrupted him.
