Stefan pu-ll-ed Deanna into his arms and hvgged her ti-ght “I’m sorry”
“I failed her” Deanna cried “I promised to help her but I failed her”
“it’s not your fault”
“It is– I failed to protect her”
“You did your best”
“poor Moira.. she died too early” Deanna sobbe-d
Stefan tapped her back softly “It’s alright”
Deanna remembered her dream about the graveyard and cried more “it belonged to Moira.. the small coffin belonged to her”
“Deanna calm down”
“Don’t tell me to calm down” Deanna yelled “I failed Moira”
“we failed her.. you don’t have to take all the blame”
Deanna sniffed and fell on Stefan’s shoulder. The shouting from the front had st©pped. So had the woman’s screaming.
They walked to the house and watched the car doors slamming shut as the ambulance started in the street, the short bur-st of siren.
Vickie who had been shouting, skrie-ked as the ambulance drove off. Deanna tried her best to st©p herself from screaming. She wanted to console Vickie but she couldn’t console herself. Deanna covered herself mouth with her palms to prevent herself from screaming.
“Deanna you have to be strong for your auntie” Stefan pacified
Deanna nodded in tears and hvgged Stefan “Moira” she sobbe-d
Minutes later, the noise died and everyone went back to their houses except for Meredith and some few sympathising neighbors. Stefan had alre-ady left and Deanna was sitting by herself, sobbing.
Soon, the neighbors left but Meredith stayed behind.
“Deanna?!” Meredith called, joining Deanna in the porch. Deanna looked up but didn’t say anything. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
“Moira is gone now” Meredith began “we have to move on. Crying won’t bring her back”
“Moira shouldn’t be dead.. she should be here with us”
“There’s a reason for everything but I don’t see a reason why Moira should be dead” Meredith said and heaved a sigh as she sat beside Deanna “I still don’t believe her death is natural.. there’s more to it”
“There is but who’s gonna tell us what’s happening”
“The exorcist”
Deanna scoffed “the same exorcist who ran away after his first visit? The man is scared of death”
“He’s not scared” Meredith stated “He c@m£ to me in my dream last night and told me that Moira is going to die and no one can st©p it”
“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Deanna yelled
“Cause he told me not to. He didn’t want anyone to risk his life trying to save Moira cause it was her fate”
“You just watched Moira die” Deanna yelled
“Calm down Deanna. This isn’t ordinary and you know it. You can’t fight it alone”
Deanna calmed down a bit “what do you mean?”
“That was what the exorcist said but I don’t un-derstand either.. maybe you should talk to him”
“where can I find the coward?”
“Rodgers isn’t a coward” Meredith half yelled “He’s un-der a spell”
“He told you that?” Deanna scoffed “But he c@m£ to you in your dream”
“It almost took him his life to reach my dream but he says you can find him.. But not alone”
“How?”
“You have to find someone you trust and go to Rodgers, he lives in a small village in the woodlands”
“How do we get there?”
“I’ll give you the address tomorrow and you’ll go there but don’t be arrogant”
Deanna rolled her eyes “As long as he’s going to bring back Moira”
“Moira is dead but you can save others. He mentioned something about finding a sural”
“What’s a sural?”
“I don’t know.. you’ll find out when you visit him”
Deanna la-id on her be-d that night and thought about everything she discussed with Meredith.
There was a voice echoing in her head “Destruction”
Her phone started ringing and she reached for it on the drawer. Stefan was calling.
She heaved a de-ep sigh and answered the call.
📱 Hello Stefan
📲 Deanna?! I’m sorry I had to leave do early
📱It’s alright.. I un-derstand
📲 How’s Vickie?
📱She’s still finding it ha-rd to believe that her only daughter is dead
📲 It’s just like a dream
📱I wish it were and I’ll wake up
📲 I followed the ambulance to the mortuary and snuck in to see Moira’s corpse
📱Why did you do that? What if you got caught?
📲 I didn’t but I found out something
📱What is it?
📲 Moira’s corpse has marks all over her b©dy like someone who was tortured to death
📱Who could’ve tortured a slee-ping girl?
📲 There’s more to it. She wasn’t tortured physically
📱Stefan something is wrong somewhere
📲 There’s an evil f0rç£ behind this and we nee-d to find out before it’s too late
📱Meredith told me the exorcist c@m£ to her dream. He told her to tell me to visit him
📲 Where has he been all these while
📱That’s what I’m also wondering but I think it’s necessary we find him
📲 How?
📱Meredith has his address. We’ll visit him tomorrow
📲 Alright.. I’ll come over early tomorrow morning
📱I just hope nothing happens before the morning comes
📲 Nothing is going to happen. Just go to be-d and wait for the morning
📱Goodnight
📲 And don’t forget to pray
📱I won’t
📲 Goodnight then
📱Sweet dreams

Deanna woke up early the next morning and went to check on Vickie. Everyone had been vigilant the previous night, keeping a close eye on Vickie so she doesn’t try anything crazy.
Vickie was not in her room when Deanna checked on her. Deanna got alarmed and checked the kitchen but Vickie wasn’t there either. She thought of where Vickie could possibly be and the first place that c@m£ into Deanna’s head was Moira’s room. She hurried to Moira’s room and Vickie was just walking out of the room with Moira’s be-dsheets.
“Aunt Vickie?! What are you doing with those?” Deanna asked
“Moira would be returning today and I want her room to be beautiful when she returns” Vickie replied with a grin
Deanna shut her eyes with a de-ep sigh and a teardrop slid down her cheeks.
“Aunt Vickie, Moira isn’t coming back”
“Don’t tell me that Deanna” Vickie half yelled “Moira told me she was going to see a friend and would be returning today”
Deanna shook her head in tears and Vickie walked past her. She didn’t try st©pping her, Vickie was in a state of mind and she knew better than trying to st©p her.
Deanna plodded into her room and got re-ady to visit the exorcist. She took her bathe and dressed up in a black flowing go-wn. She combe-d her hair to flow down her shoulders and put on her glas-ses. Deanna shoved some necessary things into her bag and headed for Meredith’s ap@rtment.
“Deanna?! Deanna?!” Stefan called immediately Deanna stepped out of the house. She st©pped by the yard and waited for Stefan.
“You’re early. I thought you’d be late” Deanna said when he got up to her
“I’m never late for important occasions” Stefan said and asked “where are we going now?”
“to see Meredith” Deanna replied and they walked to Meredith’s ap@rtment. When they got to her door, the door was opened by Meredith at the first knock.
“Good morning” Deanna and Stefan chorused
“Thank goodness you’re here” Meredith stated and stepped aside “come on in”
Stefan and Deanna walked inside and she slammed the door shut.
“Rodgers c@m£ again last night and he sounded so impatient like something bad was going to happen. He said he really nee-ded to talk to you but he couldn’t reach you in your dreams”
“What’s it this time?” Deanna asked
“Who’s he?” Meredith asked pointing to Stefan
“He’s my friend, Stefan” Vickie replied
“Alright.. we don’t have time” Meredith said and walked to the table “Rodgers c@m£ to me last night and told me he was going to bring a map that would lead you to where he lives and when I woke up, I found this beside me on the be-d” Meredith proffered them with a map “I don’t re-ad maps so I don’t un-derstand what it means”
Deanna took the map and gave it to Stefan “you should be able to re-ad it cause I don’t un-derstand it either”
Stefan collected the map and studied it for a while.
“It isn’t too far from here” he said after properly studying the map
“How do we get there?” Deanna asked
“I c@m£ with my car”
“Perfect.. He said then woods is dangerous and you shouldn’t think of going there at night” Meredith warned
“we’ll make it back before dusk” Stefan said
“But be careful.. he emphasized on that” Meredith said
“let’s get going” Stefan said and got up
“I cooked for you in case you get hungry” Meredith said and hurried into the kitchen. She returned almost immediately with a lunch box “this should be enough till you get back. Water, food, snacks, everything you’ll nee-d is packed in here”
“Thank you” They chorused and Stefan carried the box out
“I’ll tell Vickie I s£nt you on an errand” Meredith told Deanna as they walked to Stefan’s car. Stefan opened the car trunk and kept the lunch box.
“Be safe” Meredith waved as they drove out
“How’s Vickie?” Stefan asked during the drive
“she’s losing her mind”
Stefan sighed “it’s not going to be easy for her”
“it’s not going to be easy for anyone”
“give me the map” Stefan said looking away from the wheel. He took a glance at the map and stepped on the accelerator.
They got to the woods and pu-ll-ed the car to a halt.
“We can’t drive in the woods” Stefan said unfastening his seatbelt
Deanna also unfastened her seatbelt and they got down. To their surprise, the woods was dark like it was night time but it was actually day time. They looked back to where they had come from and it was day time, but it was night in the woods.
“What’s happening?” Deanna asked
“The time in the woods and our own time differs. We c@m£ at the wrong time” Stefan replied
“Then we have to go back, Rodgers warned us not to come at night”
“Let’s go back we’ll return when it’s night in our own time” Stefan said
“Alright.. I’m getting scared alre-ady”
Stefan turned and tried opening the door but couldn’t. He struggled with the door handle but it wasn’t opening.
“what’s happening?” he asked
“let me try mine” Deanna said and tried opening the pas-s£nger seat but it was also difficult “it’s not opening either”
A hvge bird flew over there head with a loud cry. Deanna screamed and jumped on Stefan.
“It’s not just a bird” Deanna half yelled “we have to get out of here”
Stefan opened his mouth to talk when a beast appeared behind them. It was hvge and they looked little un-der it.
“There’s no going back now” Stefan said and took Deanna’s hand, looking at the beast before them “RUN!”
