The priest stared into Lena’s eyes. “I call you forth, Lilith, first woman, first
demoness. I call forth the one who
turned your back on the most high God.
Come forth and show yourself to us.”
Lena broke out in a sweat as the room suddenly blasted
furnace hot. She felt out of breath, as
if she’d just run a mile. The pain in
the middle of her head returned, and she had an image of a rusty fish hook
buried in there. Trembling broke out
over her body. Yet Lilith didn’t come
forward to challenge them.
Alex handed Father Jackson a vial of holy water. Lena squeezed her eyes shut, knowing what
would come next, anticipating it would feel a lot worse than the oily sensation
she’d gotten at the little chapel nearby.
The priest’s voice rose, hard and commanding. “I have your name, and therefore control over
you. Come forward now, Lilith!”
The water hit the exposed flesh of Lena’s face and
arms. A sound like bacon sizzling on a
griddle filled Lena’s ears. The pain hit
an instant later. Before she could
scream against the vicious torment it faded away. The alien mind that lurked within hers roared
forward, eclipsing Lena in utter darkness.
