{Will you still love me.. when you’ve met my demons?}

They ran without turning back, afraid that the beast might be right behind them. Though they could no longer hear its gro-an s, they still feared for their lives.
Deanna kicked a log of wood that was lying on the ground and stumbled and fell.
“Deanna?!” Stefan ran back to help her up. He wra-pped his hands around her and tried lifting her when they heard the beast behind them.
“Stefan?!” Deanna cried out “We’re going to die”
Stefan was alre-ady p@n-ting heavily with dots of sweat all over his face. “can you walk?” he asked Deanna
“I can…. ” Deanna was interrupted by a tree br@nch that landed beside them but Stefan was fast to push her out of the way
“we’ve got to get out of here” Deanna shouted
“I know” That was Stefan, trying to act cool “get on my back”
“What?”
“Now Deanna.. Else we’ll die” Stefan squ-atted before her and she got on his back. He got up and ran off to no where in p@rticular.
The beast was right behind them but even with Deanna on Stefan’s back, he still out ran it.
“Stefan look out!” Deanna shouted and the beast pounced towards them but Stefan was fast to jump out before it landed on them. Stefan turned to another direction and ran off, as they beast was standing on their way. He ran as fast as he could, holding Deanna really ti-ght to protect her from any possible danger.
“Stefan put me down” Deanna shouted when she realized Stefan was getting exhausted. He ignored her and continued running.
“Put me down and save your strength else we’ll both get killed”
“we’ll only get killed if you don’t keep your mouth shut” Stefan hurled and continued running. They got to the end of the forest and Stefan st©pped running.
Right before him were two narrow roads and he didn’t know which route to take.
“Our pursuer left us” Deanna noticed
Stefan strained his ears, to hear the gro-an s and gr-unts from the beast but there was no noise. The night was quiet and peaceful.
“He left” Stefan said
Deanna smiled and climbe-d down from Stefan’s back “we’re safe now”
“But which way do we take?” Stefan asked, looking at the two narrow roads before them
“look” Deanna pointed to the ground “there’s a tunnel down there”
Stefan got down on all fours and re-moved the dried leaves covering a p@rt of the tunnel.
“Most tunnels in forests are dangerous” he said “old, abandoned tunnels could be habituated by wild carnivorous animals”
“so what do we do now?” Deanna asked and face palmed herself.
Stefan carefully pushed the tunnel open and took a peek inside. The tunnel was dark and he couldn’t see inside.
“Give me the torch” he said and extended his hand to Deanna “I wonder where it leads…. ” Stefan was still talking when he felt a f0rç£ push him into the tunnel and he screamed.
“Stefan?!” Deanna shouted and jumped in after him. They screamed as the fell down till they landed on something.
They had expected to land on a ha-rd , rocky surface and probably squash to death. But instead, they landed on a heap of bags.
“Stefan?!” Deanna ran to Stefan. She hvgged him really ti-ght, afraid to let go. Her heart was beating really fast and she held him like her life depended on it.
Stefan hvgged her back and held her head right below his cheek.
“It’s alright.. I’m here” he planted a soft k!sson her hair and someone cleared his throat.
Deanna jumped with a start but Stefan gr@bb£d her hand.
“Shhhh.. Stay calm”
“You’re taking to much ro-mantic time to get a hold of yourself” someone said and they quic-kly turned to the direction where the voice was coming from. There was a man sitting in the floor with he hands joined together and he legs stretched out, also joined like they were bonded. He looked really familiar to Deanna but she couldn’t remember where they’ve met before.
“Aren’t you going to ask who I am?” he asked in a low, peaceful tone
“we should be asking him where he c@m£ from and what he’s doing here” Deanna wanted to tell Stefan
“I’ve been here for ages” the man replied like he re-ad her thoughts
“Ages?” Deanna g@sped “does that mean we’ll also be tra-pped in here”
“I wasn’t tra-pped, this is my home but they c@m£, and bonded me with some strong invisible f0r磔
“Hands ties, legs tied, sitting at a place…” Deanna turned to Stefan “let’s get out of here.. I don’t want to face the same fate”
“Who are you” Stefan asked the man, ignoring Deanna
“I’ve been expecting that question” the man smiled “I’m Rodgers”
Deanna g@sped “The exorcist?”
“yes.. I led you here”
“you s£nt the beast to eat us?” Deanna asked rhetorically
“It led you here. It wasn’t going to eat you, it was to protect you cause you c@m£ at the wrong hour. I forgot to tell Meredith about the difference in time. And you wouldn’t have located me without the beast”
“Thank you” Stefan said
“Meredith said you’re un-der a spell”
“I am, but I can still use my powers to a limit”
“powers?” Stefan wondered “does exorcist have powers?”
“Rodgers isn’t just an exorcist” Rodgers replied “I’m also a magician”
“who cast you un-der a spell?” Deanna asked
“Them” c@m£ Rodgers’ reply
“who are they?” Deanna wanted to know
“if I mentioned their name, then they’ll come here and we’ll all be in trouble” Rodgers explained
Deanna got scared and cu-mddled up in Stefan’s arms and he held her ti-ght protectively.
“There’s a lot you nee-d to know” Rodgers began “first let’s talk about Moira”
Deanna got weak at the mention of Moira’s name and tears welled up in her eyes. She had promised herself not cry but she failed.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help her” Rodgers said “If they hadn’t bonded me then I would’ve tried.. I’m really sorry”
Deanna sniffles “it’s alright”
“Even though we weren’t able to save Moira, we can save others. A lot of people are bound to die” Rodgers said
“How?” Stefan asked
“First you have to find the sural” Rodgers said
“What’s a sural?” Stefan asked
“She used to be a psychic until she died but her corpse never decayed and it still speaks. I’ve never seen it but my father once spoke to her corpse before he died few years ago. She’s the only one that has a solution”
“Where is she buried?”
“You’ll have to go in throu-gh your mind. People thinks it’s a fairytale cause she wasn’t buried here on earth, but you can get to her grave throu-gh your mind”
“So how is a dead person going to help us?” Deanna asked
“She was a victim of what you’re going to face” Rodgers replied “I don’t remember her name but people call her a sural”
“What does sural mean?” Stefan asked
“Talking dead” Rodgers chuckled “funny right?”
“Not really– this is more serious” Stefan said
“If she isn’t a fairytale then why wasn’t she buried here on earth?” Deanna asked
“The devils took her” Rodgers said and a strong wind blew around them “Of my God! They’re here” he g@sped
“Who?” Deanna asked trying to keep her hair in from the wind
“The devils.. You’ve got to get out of here” Rodgers shouted
“What…. ” Stefan tried talking when dust filled the room and he couldn’t see clearly again. Deanna screamed at the t©p of her lungs, jumping and running about in fear. Stefan groped for her hand in the dense dust and next smoke filled the room.
“Close your eyes, don’t let the smoke get….” Rodgers was interrupted then a big hand gr!pp£dher n£¢k.
Stefan found Deanna and gr@bb£d her hand with their eyes closed.
“Rodgers?!” Stefan shouted
“Get… o..ut.. of…” Rodgers struggled as he was been strangled to death “Run!”
That was the last thing they heard as Rodgers slumped on the floor, dead.
Deanna screamed and they ran out with their eyes closed and the smoke in the room didn’t let them breathe.
“Don’t inhale the smoke too” Stefan said and covered his nose with his palm and Deanna followed suit. They hit the wall and st©pped.
“There’s no way from here” Stefan said. He tried opening his eyes but the smoke was much and he quic-kly shut it.
“Hurry.. We’re going to die” Deanna whined. They started hearing footsteps running towards them and they got more scared. There was no one in the room except them and Rodgers and Rodgers was dead so the footsteps were coming from the devils. Deanna was scared to even think of it. What if they located her mind?
Stefan ti-ght£ñed his grip on Deanna’s hand and dashed out with his other hand groping for a way on the wall. They ran round the room but there was no way out.
“There’s no way” Stefan said in disappointment and a loud, evil laugh was heard in the room
“it’s coming from the devils” Deanna said before she could st©p herself and a hand pu-ll-ed her from Stefan’s grip.
“Stefan?!” Deanna shouted as the hand dragged her away
“Deanna?!” shouted Stefan, groping about like a blind person
“Deanna?!”
“Stefan?!” Deanna shouted “save me”
“I nee-d light” Stefan said to himself and suddenly, he took control. Light emitted from his b©dy and the room was lightened up.
“No!” he heard voices gr-unt and the smoke in the room started fading.
“Deanna?!” Stefan called and opened his eyes. Deanna was lying on the floor, coughing profusely.
“how did you do that?” Deanna asked and let him carry her into his arms
“I don’t know” Stefan replied and asked “did they hurt you?”
“No” Deanna shook her head and smiled “You’re my hero”
Stefan smiled back and hvgged her ti-ght “for a moment, I was scared they’ll kill you like Rodgers”
“That’s true.. Where’s Rodgers?” Deanna asked and pu-ll-ed away from the hvg. They looked around and found Rodgers lying on the floor, dead.
“He’s really dead” Deanna said “he didn’t even give us all the details”
Stefan opened his mouth to talk when they heard the beast gr0@nbehind them.
Deanna shouted and made to run but Stefan st©pped her.
“Rodgers said the beast won’t hurt us but… ” Stefan looked at Deanna “let’s run”
They ran off with the beast running behind them. They kept running till they got to where their car was parked.
“we made it” Deanna giggled, p@n-ting excitedly
“Rodgers was right” Stefan said “the beast wasn’t meant to hurt us. It just protects us and show us the way out”
“And it’s gone” Deanna realized the beast was no longer chasing them
“let’s get out of here” Stefan said and walked to the car “get into the car”

2:34 pm….
“so you found him?” Meredith asked when Stefan and Deanna returned
“we did” Deanna replied
“what did he say?”
“he said we had to find the sural throu-gh our dreams.. he didn’t give us the complete details before he was killed” Deanna replied
“Killed?” Meredith g@sped “Rodgers is dead?”
“He was killed by some f0rç£s that almost killed us too” Stefan explained
“poor Rodgers” Meredith cried
“We’re sorry” Deanna apologized
Meredith faked a smile “it’s not your fault”
“But we still nee-d more information” Deanna said “I can reach the sural in my dream”
“How?” Meredith asked
“that’s what Rodgers said and I think I can try that with my psychic powers” Deanna said
“you’re a psychic?” Meredith asked
“we just realized that ourselves” Stefan replied
“Good.. we’ll try reaching the sural and see what she has to say.. we nee-d to find the killer before we get killed ourselves” Meredith said
“I’ll go check on Aunt Vickie” Deanna said and got up to her feet
“I’ll be with Deanna” Stefan said and also got up
“Thank you so much Stefan.. you both” Meredith said and walked them to the door. They stepped outside and she watched them walk to the Bruce’s ap@rtment before walking back inside.
This is getting more scary. Meredith thought as she walked to her room. She still found it difficult to believe Rodgers was dead.
Meredith walked into her be-droom and took off her clothes then walked into the bathroom to shower.
“I’m losing weight cause of worrying” Meredith sighed, staring at her reflection in the mirror.
The mirror rattled and her reflection faded, she couldn’t see herself again.
“what’s wrong with the mirror?” Meredith wondered without taking her eyes off the mirror
“I’m wrong with it” a voice said and Vivienne appeared in the mirror
“Holy Mary!” Meredith exclaimed and ran to get her holy water but Vivienne stretched out her hand from the mirror and gr@bb£d her.
“you’re going nowhere” she said with blood stained teeth.
“Who you?” Meredith asked in fear
“I am your doom” Vivienne sm-irked and raised her other hand with a dagger in it
“plea-se spare me” Meredith pleaded in tears
“Destruction!” Vivienne shouted and stabbe-d the dagger into Meredith’s heart
