Chapter 5 - The Demon
“Dark, cold, wrong, Dark, cold, wrong, Dark, cold, wrong, Dark, cold, wrong, Dark, cold, wrong,” the demon mutters inside Seven’s mind.
“Hey, little demon. Why is it Dark, cold, wrong?” Tish asks within the grey room. The Demon sits in the corner banging its head against the wall. Continuing to chant the same three words over and over again.
“Wrong, wrong, so wrong” the demon mutters as it continues to butt its head against the wall.
“What is wrong?” Tish asks again as she moves closer.
A loud growl and a large chill inducing hiss sounds before the little demon turns and rushes at Tish.
“Don’t you growl and hiss at me” Tish snaps as she smacks the rushing demon on the head when it reaches within arm distance. The demon stops and looks up at Tish with a mulish look as if being told that it couldn’t have its favourite toy.
“Right, now you are going to stop your sulking and then you are going to tell me everything you know about why you are here and what the hell happened. Do I make myself clear?” Tish tells the demon with a raised eyebrow.
“Yessssss” The demon hisses back.
“Ok, now that, that is sorted let’s start with do you remember when you came to be this little girl’s super?” Tish asks as she sits on the floor facing the demon.
The demon looks at Tish for a moment before taking a seat on the ground just like her.
“Little girl is wrong, very little, wasn’t meant to be here” The demon replies looking at Tish like a puppy ready to play.
“That’s good demon. Ok, next question. How many supers are in here with you?” Tish asks
“Many, many supers. Too small a space” the demon responds.
“Many? How many is many?” Tish asks as she continues to watch the demon and the surrounding area.
“Many, cold, wrong. Girl is wrong” Demon mutters
“Do you know how old the girl was when you were placed within her?”
“NO! little girl screams and cry, scream and cry, all she did was scream and cry, scream and cry” Demon sing songs.
“Ok, well hopefully we can figure this out” Tish responds.
“Little and wrong, screams and cries. Dark and cold” The demon continues to chant as it rocks back and forth.
“You’re a fun conversation aren’t you” Tish mutters as she gets up and starts moving around the room.
“Fun? Dark, cold, wrong. Screams and cry, little and wrong” the demon continues to sing song as it follows behind Tish.
“Can you show me what happened?” Tish asks
“Show? Yes show” the demon mutters
Flash Back
“Doc, subject seven is ready. All vitals are stable and we can start the joining.” A lab tech says.
“Lets start the joining. This is the seventh subject like all the others keep a close eye all the vitals the first twenty-four hours is critical. If this joining is going to work then we need to be hyper vigilant” The Doc announces to the room.
“Starting the joining” the Doc calls. As he inserts the tube into the subject’s chest.
The nurses and lab tech gather around as they watch the doctor slowly inject the demon spirit into a large tube placed into the subject’s chest. As the dark swirling mass moves through the tube, at the half way point the dark mass tries to move backwards away from the chest and the girl that it was about to inhabit.
“Doc, it looks like it doesn’t want to go” One of the nurses mutters
“Add more pressure don’t let it move back, push it forward” The Doctor yells
“None, of the others have done this” another nurses mutters
“No and the first few subjects didn’t survive”
“Subject six did but no one could say that she is mentally damaged now.. she can’t go anywhere without being heavily sedated for everyone’s safety.”
“Maybe there is another way to attach”
“Maybe we shouldn’t be doing this”
“They are children”
“No they are Children they are babies. No more than two years of age”
“I heard that the doctor tried to do the joining on older subjects but none were successful”
“What are you all blubbing about, stop gossiping and do your damn jobs. Now increase the pressure and force this bloody demon into the subject now” the doctor shouts.
As the black mass continues to fight, pushing back, fighting with all its might. The doctor pushes more air through the pipe to push the demon into subject seven. The demon begins to weaken eventually loses and is forced into subject seven’s chest.
Tish watches as the demon tries to console the little girl at first and more so when it finds out that she is no more than two years of age.
But as the demon is young as well it is the blind leading the blind. The girl cries as the pain rips through her, she screams as the joining continues and slowly the room that was bright becomes dim, dark and cold as the demon settles into his other.
Tish cries as she watches the demon try everything to make the girl happy and safe, that was until they brought her back to the bad room and strapped her to the table. The demon goes wild banging and screaming that the doctors are hurting her, that they are hurting the little girl but nothing stops nothing changes and the girl continues to scream and cry. As the girl finally passes out from the pain the demon sits and watches over her and listens as she quietly sobs in her sleep, the demon continues to watch and protect until a voice sounds from behind it.
“It’s cold here, it’s dark, what is wrong? Why are you here? What is wrong with the girl?”
“What are you?”
“A shadow, what are you?”
“Demon”
“We both can’t be here”
“But we are”
