The following afternoon, Josslyn pulled into the driveway after she returned from getting some groceries at the local market and noticed Nathan at the living room window. Her skin crawled as she shut off the ignition and unbuckled her seatbelt. She grabbed her purse and got out of the car. She saw Nathan at another window, this time upstairs. Anxiety rose within her, and she slammed the car door and ran to the house.
Upon entry, she dashed upstairs but did not see Nathan at the window. She went into another room, then back downstairs where she saw him in the study.
“Nathan,” she signed with a wave of her arm to draw his attention.
He turned to face Josslyn. “Back so soon? That was quick.”
“How did you get down here so fast?”
“What do you mean?”
“I just saw you upstairs a moment ago and seconds before that, you were standing at the living room window.” Josslyn then realized it was the demon, which had since left Nathan’s body.
Nathan gave her a quizzical look. “I wasn’t standing at either window.”
“Well, I saw you when I pulled up and your eyes were rolled up and all white, your mouth was hanging open and you were standing still. It can only mean one thing.”
Nathan nodded understanding. “It was inside me, and I had no awareness of it at all.”
Anger and frustration rose in Josslyn. “Well, the paranormal research team will be here in a couple days. I just wish it was today instead!” She walked out of the study.
Nathan stood there and glared at her from behind as she went into the kitchen to put away the groceries.
“Bitch,” Nathan said out loud in a demonic voice.
