I wondered if I dared to trust anything that the woman’s voice had said, but then, did I dare not to. I knew that this time I should not take another chance of keeping this a secret from Elizabeth. However, the decision had to be made by her, and only her.

I dressed as quickly as I could and made my way down the hall to Elizabeth’s room. Before I got to her room, I had the strangest feeling that she would not be there when I opened the door, but I had to make sure. I got to the bedroom door, paused for a brief moment before slowly opening it just enough to reach inside for the light switch, and flicked it on. Nonetheless, it was as I had expected, Elizabeth was not in her room. I flicked the light switch off, closed the door to her room behind me, and headed down the hall to Alexandrea’s room. As I made my way to her bedroom door, I paused for a brief moment once in front of it to gather my strength, then slowly opened it, and walked inside. Alexandrea’s body had still rested in a trance like state of some sort, as if she had been frozen in time. Elizabeth was in the room as well. However, she was standing beside the bed leaning over Alexandrea’s body, as if she too was in some strange trance, just looking down at her with no movement whatsoever.

I yelled in a firm voice saying, “Elizabeth, Elizabeth, are you alright, can you hear me?”

However, it was as if it fell on deaf ears, as she never heard my voice, even though I was yelling. I turned and glanced at Alexandrea and said, “Oh God in heaven do not do this to her.”

Alexandrea’s eyes were open as wide as they could have possibly been, and then quickly rolled back into her head, leaving only the whites of her eyes visible, as if she had still somehow been possessed. The whites of her eyes were locked onto Elizabeth’s eyes. I grabbed Elizabeth’s arm, pulling as hard as I could, trying to break whatever supernatural force was holding her there, but it was no use. No matter how hard I pulled, I could not turn her attention away from Alexandrea. It was like trying to move a car, she would not budge one bit. The only thing that I could think of at the moment was to get the Demon Ring. Therefore, I ran down the hall into my bedroom, retrieved the Demon Ring out from within my duffel bag, and placed it on my middle finger. Right away, I could feel the immense power of the ring. I could feel it draining the life from my body, but fought it off the best that I could, as I ran back into Alexandrea’s room. Even though I had never used the Demon Ring before, and had no idea of how to use it, I aimed it right at Alexandrea and commanded the super-natural force that had possessed her to leave her body at once.

Suddenly, the unbelievable happened, the true power of the Demon Ring started to show its effect on whatever supernatural force was holding Alexandrea’s body hostage. Her tormented screams filled the room with a glass shattering affect, which will leave me scared for the rest of my life. I knew that the Demon Ring was having an effect on Alexandrea, but it was in no means powerful enough to kill the supernatural force that held her body hostage. The sight of her was indescribable, and the evil that was within her sent chills through my body, making the hair on my arms stand straight up, as if there was a massive amount of electrical discharge within the bedroom.

The voice I heard said, “You will never take her away from me, she’s mine forever.”

Then right before my eyes, she disappeared in a thick cloud of black smoke. My only consolation was that it had never really been Alexandrea at all that I had used the Demon Ring on, only an evil supernatural force taking her form. I tried to talk to Elizabeth and snap her out of the trance that she was in but she only looked at me with hatred, which had matched the evil words that had come from Alexandrea’s impersonator. 

“Elizabeth, you have to listen to me. I did not kill the Alexandrea that you knew and loved so dearly.
