Stirred Up: Douxie X OC

5- (Part 1) - [The Exorcism of Claire Nunez]

Episode 5:

[The Exorcism of Claire Nunez.]

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I need to get prepared. For anything and everything that I might find at Claire's house. With Morgana Le Fay now in control of Claire's mind and body, this can only mean one thing. It's just as she told me all those years ago--- she's coming back. To claim our world and do what she may. I'm not about to let that happen. Not now, not ever.

I've got my survival equipment, my magic spell books, my dark magic repellent, and more. Ok... let's hope this goes better than it did last night.

As we come out of the bathroom, Darci helps as my support beam, helping me to the table.

Douxie sees me slightly hunched over--- not looking good-- and instantly rises to his feet. Worried, he comes up to us and has Darci pass me along to him. I feel his protective arms wrap around me and he starts to ask questions. It pains me to see him so concerned and not be able to tell him.

But if I want to know what Morgana's up to without him getting hurt, this is the only way...

For now.

"What happened?" He frets.

"She got dizzy and fell." 'Claire' lies.

"Are you ok?" Douxie frets.

I kiss him on the cheek, trying to calm him down.

"I'm fine, Doux. I just need to drink more water."

"You're darn right you do. I don't want this happening to you again, you hear?"

I let out a soft giggle.

"Alright, you have my word."

I hate lying to him.

Douxie helps me to my seat, passing me a tall glass of water. I thank him and drink about half, to ease his nerves. I catch 'Claire' staring at us, with a curious and peculiar look in her eyes, her hand propping her head up. I instinctively grab Douxie's hand under the table, which makes him turn his gaze towards me, worriedly.

Shit...

Zoe comes out with our food, placing the respective meals in their places. (Which really isn't that hard, all things considered.) By the time conversation starts up again, Darci and Toby are talking about something that Toby is worried about. I don't take my eyes off of 'Claire' though. She winks at me before indescribably devouring her raw steak. We all stare at her, jaws dropped, as she licks her lips. Damn...

I didn't expect that.

I gulp, squeezing Douxie's hand even more now. He keeps his gaze focused on me, while I focus on 'Claire'.

I'm walking up to Claire's house when I see that her front door has been left slightly cracked open. Huh. I approach the door with some haste and caution. I have no idea what I'm walking in on, so the best way to approach this is definitely with some caution. Stopping on the front mat to her house, I peek through the open door, trying to get a glimpse of anything that might be dangerous. but what I see is odd, not life threatening. Just an empty living room with absolutely no furniture.
