When I awakened, I could feel the warmth of the sun shining through the windows into the living room onto my body. I looked over at the grandfather clock to see what time in the morning it was, and it was six o’clock, and the magnificent Blackwood Manor was transformed back to its original self. Once again, I had miraculously survived another Witching Hour, and acquired a Demon Ring to boot.

Then Elizabeth popped into my mind. My God, I had left her passed out on the couch in the library. I rushed to the library and she was nowhere to be found. I wondered where she could be. Did she succumb to this hellish nightmare of the Witching Hour? Then it dawned on me, Alexandrea, and knew exactly where I could find her. I quickly ran down the hall and up the stairs to Alexandrea’s room and there she was, standing next to Alexandrea’s lifeless body, once again young and virile.

My heart cried out to her in silence, as I saw tears gently running down her soft white cheeks. The love and respect that Elizabeth had for this woman, who now laid before her like a wax figure of someone she had known long ago was almost more than I could bear. Therefore, I swiftly took Elizabeth by her arm and pulled her out of the room, as her torment seemed to tear away at my very soul. I held her as we both walked back to the library where we sat down on the couch and soaked up the warmth of the sunrays that shinned through the windows, warming our chilled bodies. It seemed like an eternity before I was able to speak, but I spoke up and said, “Let’s go get some breakfast Elizabeth. I will make us some waffles and sausage with maple syrup to top it off.”

“Alright Mason, I am starving.”

Therefore, I got out the waffle mix, poured it into a bowl, added some water, and started mixing away until it was all mixed evenly together. I poured the mix into the waffle maker and put some sausage on the skillet for the both of us. The smell of the sausage filled the kitchen, making me hungrier. As I set Elizabeth’s plate on the table, I laughed and said, “Damn I am a great cook aren’t I?”

Elizabeth laughed as well and said, “Mason Williams, you sure can brighten up a room, that is for sure, and are quite an attractive man if I do say so myself.”

When we finished eating our breakfast, we went to sit in the library to talk about what our next move would be. As we sat there talking and sipping our hot tea we noticed that the morning was flying by. In fact, it was already ten o’clock when I said, “Elizabeth, I have an idea that might just save Alexandrea.”

Elizabeth bluntly replied, “What in the world are you talking about Mason, Alexandrea is already dead!”

“No! I do not believe that she is Elizabeth, that could not be farther from the truth. I believe that Alexandrea’s body has been possessed by an evil supernatural force unlike anything that I have ever seen, and there is still the possibility that she can be saved.”

The statement brightened her aura right up, and she gave me her full attention with a surprised look on her face and said, “How do you plan on saving Alexandrea?”

“Well first of all Elizabeth. I am going to bless every room throughout the Blackwood Manor by sprinkling Holy Water on the floors while saying a special prayer. Then I will try banishing the supernatural entity from within her body, which is not an easy task. In fact, it is tremendously difficult to do. Elizabeth, I want you to know that this procedure will only work with the weaker and lower level demons, and does nothing at all to the fallen angels. In most cases this just aggravates and enrages them even further.”

“Very well Mason, let’s get to it, daylight is wasting, and midnight will be here before we know it.”

“Alright Elizabeth, come help me get the things that I need from my room to start the cleansing process, so we can remove the evil supernatural force from within the Blackwood Manor. I think that we should start upstairs since that is where Alexandrea’s room is located. I will start out by saying a cleansing spell. Keep a watchful eye out for any trouble.”

“Alright Mason, go for it. I believe that I am as ready as I will ever be.”

“Here it goes!”

We drive you evil from this place, whoever you may be, unclean spirits, demons, satanic powers, all inferior invaders, stop deceiving us human beings and poisoning our souls with your eternal damnation.
