ADELINE: It's been a week and Marie didn't call me. Now her phone is showing 'out of coverage area. I hope she is fine and didn't try anything. That short-tempered brat!
I thought I will give her a surprise visit. My flight reached Amsterdam at 6:30 pm. After an hour I was there at her place and rang the bell. I was standing with her favorite. It's been a long time that I haven't seen my best friend. She opened the door. I hugged her but she was stinking. "Hey, why are you stinking this bad and you look so pale and weak! What happened?"
I could see her blackish under eye. I was quite sure that something was wrong.
MARIE: I am just being lazy these days.
ADELINE: The moment I entered her house I got the strong presence of something bad. In the past, I had an encounter with such things that's why I could smell the presence of a powerful spirit.
"Why don't you go and take a shower?"
MARIE: No I am fine.
ADELINE: Tell me something, what are these marks around your neck?
MARIE: No, just iron deficiency.
ADELINE: I could see how she was lying.
"Marie, look at me". (I said in a low voice)
MARIE: What? (She said in a pissed voice)
ADELINE: I wanted to ask her about the Ouija board but what I saw in her eyes wasn't hers. So I asked her, "What is your favorite flavor in a cake?" (To check if she is Marie or...)
MARIE: Chocolate!
ADELINE: "Oh mine too". (That wasn't Marie because from childhood she loved vanilla which I bought for her from Zeven's Bakery.)
"Give me a glass of water please." (She went to the kitchen and I gave it a last try by asking ) "What is my favorite color, Marie? (I asked her while taking out two holy cross chains. One I wore in my neck and the other kept in my pocket.)
MARIE: What game are you playing? It's black I know.
ADELINE: "You are wrong! It's green". (By the name of Jesus I command you to reveal yourself now, right now. Tell me who you are. Tell me!!! I was scared because it was a powerful spirit but I've to do it.
From the kitchen, she gave me a side look. Her eyes turned dark black. She was standing still in the corner of the sink looking at me and was giving a demonic smirk. I command you, SHOW YOURSELF. The holy symbol was pissing her out. Kitchen lights went off. I wasn't blinking and was ready to do anything to save my best friend. She came towards me within a blink of an eye, CRAWLING! She looked at me as if she is ready to kill me and started taking off her clothes.)
MARIE: This ssss is me.
ADELINE: Cut marks all over her body, bruises, her own teeth mark on her wrist and hand.
MARIE: Adeline D Cruz. This is your name? Isn't it? I know your whole family, even your ancestors, and even you! (She started laughing)
ADELINE: I was holding back my tears. The condition she was in. This is all my fault. "Who are you?, Tell me".
MARIE: Her friend.
ADELINE: You are no friend. Tell me who are you.
MARIE: Ssshhh.. She is sleeping Ade... and I am talking.
ADELINE: I know you are here Marie. I can help you and just give me a sign. Just once! Talk to me, c'mon. (Tear started falling from her eyes. The emerald eyes she had.) Yes, that's it and It was her. "Tell me what happened, tell me". (I was crying and saying.)
MARIE: HELP ME ADE, it's hurting...
