Hours later, Kree opened her eyes. It was still dark-no sunlight or anything.
Naomi was standing right above her and stepped backwards as Kree slowly sat up, "How long have I been out?''
"For two days." Naomi said gently. She flinched, already knowing that Kree would not be happy with this information.
"Two days?! My parents are going to be so worried!" Kree said as she started hyperventilating.
"Um...no offense, dear, but I think they would have already been worried when you were here the first night."
Kree looked around, "Where is Sarah? Is she okay?"
Naomi looked confused, "She's right here. Of course she's okay."
Kree looked at Sarah, who was still hiding behind her mother's skirts. However, she looked at Kree with curiosity. "You saved my life." Kree said, slowly standing and then kneeling to Sarah's level, "Thank you."
Naomi took a step forward, "What are you talking about? She was with me the whole time."

Sarah suddenly appeared out of nowhere, "Sarah, what are you doing?! Get out of here!" Kree managed to choke out the words. She coughed harder, the smoke burning her lungs.
"Everything is going to be okay." she said. It almost didn't sound like her. Her voice was too calm and full of certainty, and there was a halo of light around her head that was not fire.
There wasn't much more time for thought as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep...

"How does it feel to be betrayed?" there was the voice again, but Kree did not know where it was coming from.
Kree's heart was pounding even faster as a tear rolled down her cheek. "Jimmy..." her voice was just a whisper now.
The betrayal cut deep, but she knew that she could not focus on terrible friends at the moment. She had to focus on saving herself.
She felt herself become angry, "You have no place here!"
the laugh was a hideous screeching sound that made Kree's ears ring. "I don't belong here? Kree, You are the visitor."
"You belong in hell." Kree said angrily.
"Well, I'll see you there." Jonathan said as the room lit on fire. He cackled again, and then the voice was gone.
"Wait! Oh my gosh, don't leave me here!" Kree screamed. She inhaled some of the smoke and started coughing.
The flames were getting closer and closer, and Kree's eyes started getting wider and wider, "Somebody help me!" she screamed even louder.
This must have been what Naomi meant. The thought crossed Kree's mind. Kree knew that she was starting to get delusional.
She started seeing demon faces in the fire, and screaming souls begging for a drop of water. Tears were streaming down Kree's face, and she tried to look away, but couldn't.
She saw Jonathan's face getting bigger and bigger in the fire, but he was sneering at her, "Is this what you mean by hell, princess? You have no idea what hell is like!" Suddenly sparks flew at Kree, causing the bed to catch on fire.
Kree screamed again. Sweat was forming on her brow as she stared at the flames that was quickly making its way towards her legs.

Kree woke up to a splitting headache. What the hell? she thought to herself, but then it all came flooding back.
Kree groaned and tried to sit up. She couldn't.
Kree gasped as she tried to figure out why she couldn't move. She moved her head to the right then to the left. Her body was bound from the neck down.
She could hear laughter in the distance, but she didn't know from which direction. "Help!" she screamed, but she knew that no one would or could.
She fought against the chains that were hiding her down, but she couldn't. They were wound around her too tightly.
Jimmy came through the door. He was hesitant, almost like he didn't want to be there.
"Jimmy, you have to help me." Kree pleaded.
Jimmy slowly shook his head and looked around like he was afraid, "I...I can't," he stammered, "Please understand."
Kree looked at him, "No, I don't understand. You have to let me go!"
Jimmy shook his head, "He will hurt me."
Kree pushed against the chains once again to no avail. She had tears in her eyes, "Jimmy...don't leave me here...please..."
Jimmy was slowly backing towards the door. He kept saying, "I'm sorry." he had pain in written in his eyes, and Kree screamed all the more.
He slowly shook his head, turned around, and left the room. Kree screamed after him, but he didn't come back.
Kree cried even more, feeling more alone than ever.
-Chapter 5-

Kree honestly had no clue as to how to find this evil mist. He seemed to show up randomly at will, taking his prey by surprise, and then attacking them before even they knew what was going on.
Kree kept walking down the hallways. It was dark, and she couldn't see anything in front of her. She stumbled and held onto the door of one of the cages for support.
The air around her suddenly turned really cold. her breath was showing, and the hair on the back of her neck stood on end.
"Kree..." Kree could hear her name being called, almost as if the wind was whispering her name.
She spun around quickly, and lost her footing. She fell on the concrete floor. She yelped in pain, but then stared at the green mist in awe. It was in the shape of a face, and it was sneering at her, "You must die."
"No!" Kree said stubbornly as she stood up.
The mist laughed, "You don't have a choice in the matter."
Kree stood up even straighter as she pulled out the Bible. Jonathan gasped as he slowly backed away a few feet and hissed.
"Get back," Kree said triumphantly, "I have a weapon, and I'm not afraid to use it!"
Jonathan growled in the back of his throat and hissed once again. He backed away a little further as Kree stepped forward threateningly.
The mist disappeared in front of her eyes slowly. Finally, it was gone, and Kree breathed a sigh of relief, only to be pushed from behind!
She fell forward too fast to catch herself. She hit her head on the concrete...

The door burst open, and Naomi looked at it in shock. She told Sarah to wait and hold Molly, so she could see if it was safe to come out of the prison cell.
She slowly walked out-without getting electrocuted. She nodded at Sarah that she and Molly could come out now.
Sarah was more hesitant. Years of abuse had made her wary, even her mom made it out okay. Kree's heart ached, but she ignored it.
Now that Jimmy's family was okay, she didn't know what to do. She knew that she had to face off with Jonathan, but where the hell was the coward?
Kree also knew that she needed to find Jimmy. Despite Naomi being able to let this one go. Something was telling her that he was not supposed to make the rash decision of leaving his family to the wolves.
Naomi didn't seem to be indecisive. Naomi didn't have to say anything, Kree understood. On one hnad, Naomi wanted to help Kree defeat Jonathan, but on the other, she had a small child and an infant, who had no one else in the world to take care of them in case of defeat.
"You stay here. This is something I have to do on my own."Kree said as reassurance.
Naomi still looked unsure, but relief was also visible in her eyes, "Alright," she nodded, "But be very careful, and, whatever you do, don't underestimate him."
Kree nodded as she walked away and wondered how the hell she'd be able to underestimate a demon...
Kree finally found a Bible at the end of the row. She grabbed it, and as her hand touched, she could have sworn she heard a low growl-as if a wild animal felt threatened. The whole building shook, and she had to grab a hold of one of the bars to keep her balance.
She tucked the Bible under her arm as she exited the cage and went downstairs to help her family escape and face her demons.
The family, of course, was right where she left them. The woman, whom Kree guessed was Naomi, was now looking at her curiously.
Kree had only heard of one Jonathan, and the name "Naomi" was thrown in there somewhere with him.
Kree took the Bible from underneath her arm. "Stand back." she warned.
Naomi took Sarah's hand and stood as far back away from the door as she could without getting electrocuted from the other side. Kree took a deep breath, hoping and daring to pray that what she was about to do worked.
She chucked the Bible as fast as she could at the cage. Blue sparks flew everywhere. Blue light flashed on and off on the Bible. Kree fell down in awe.
The Bible flipped open, and the words showed up in blue. The Bible would stop flipping for a minute, point out certain verses and continue, leaving the words engraved on Kree's mind.
Finally, it stopped, and the Bible flew to the ground. Hardly anything remained of it, it was practically ash. There was no foul odor or anything.
"He may be dead, but he still has to find his own way in this world."
"How is that possible? You guys are stuck in an insane asylum."
The woman smiled sadly, "What I mean is-he has to make his own decisions."
Kree nodded, "But then we have two people fighting against us instead of one."
"He hasn't made his decision yet. He is lost on why we won't use all the resources to get what we want. In many ways, he is exactly like his father. He will do anything to protect his family."
Kree nodded. She was stuck on what to do, and without Jimmy to help her, she was even more at a loss...or was she?
She took a minute to think about it. Yes, they were surrounded by evil books but maybe there were good books? Good books...the Bible. Kree gasped at the sudden thought.
Kree left the family without explaining herself and found the stairs. She slowly walked up the stairs. She cringed inwardly, because each step echoed, one after another after another.
However, her worry was in vain, because there was no one on the second story, and no one was following her, about ready to kill her.
She sighed with relief as she looked in each of the cages. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was harder than she thought it would be to find the Bible. Weren't most crazy people into religion? But she knew that she had seen one in her earlier adventure, so she kept looking...

Jimmy looked at the cage with sadness in his eyes. He had been through so much, and it hurt Kree that she couldn't help much. Seeing the family look at each other like this made her want to go home even more to be with her own mom and dad.
Jimmy looked at Kree, "Maybe the books can-"
"No!" Kree said firmly.
"But this is my family." Jimmy argued.
"Don't you see?" Kree was exasperated, "You are starting to become like your father."
Jimmy had pain and anger in his eyes, "I will never become like my father."
"She's right, Jimmy," the woman said gently, "You are relying on those evil books to help us out of our situations. That's exactly what he wants."
"How could you say that, ma?" Jimmy's voice cracked.
Jonathan locked you in with the books, dear," his mother's voice held all the sorrow a mother could have for her son, "He obviously wanted you to use them just as he had once upon a time."
Jimmy stepped forward angrily, "I am not my father!" he looked like he was about to slap Kree, and Kree cringed. Jimmy hesitated in shock and slowly backed away.
A tear rolled down the woman's face, "And you are no longer my son."
Jimmy took another step back. Then he turned around and ran away. Kree was about to run after him, but the woman said, "Stop."
Kree turned towards her, confused.
Kree slowly walked to the door and saw that it was wide open. She smiled for what seemed like the first time in days, "Come on. Let's get out of here."
Both Kree and Jimmy exited the room and heaved a sigh of relief, but it was short-lived.
Jonathan had put all of Jimmy's family into a cage. It was no ordinary cage. The bars were electric. If they so much as grazed it, it was torture.
"And I thought that just living in an insane asylum for eternity was torture." Kree murmured as she looked at the bars.
Jimmy didn't notice that the bars of the cage were electric and grabbed a hold of the bars on the door. His spirit immediately turned a brilliant blue, and his screams echoed off the walls.
Kree gasped and looked around. She didn't know if it would work, because he was a spirit, but she threw a brick at him, expecting it to go through him. It didn't.
Instead, the brick hit Jimmy in the side, causing him to let go. Jimmy laid there, unconscious, and Kree looked at the family, "Where is he?"
The woman stepped forward, "No one even knows where he goes. But he is gone...for now."
Kree nodded her head and bit her lower lip in concentration. She looked at Jimmy, who was slowly waking up.
She looked back at the family. Sarah was in a corner with her legs hugged close to her chest. She was frightened.
Kree had a tear roll down her cheek, "I don't know what to do."
Jimmy sat up, holding his side, "Ow."
Kree smiled, "Man, throwing that brick made me feel better."
Chapter 4

After a few hours, Kree's stomach started growling, because she was hungry. She tried to ignore her stomach, but it was becoming increasingly difficult.
It did not take long for Jimmy to catch on to Kree's discomfort, "man, it's not so bad being a ghost, but I sure do miss them home cooked meals. We used to have roast beef, mashed potatoes..."
"Okay!" Kree stood up,  "Let's look at the books."
Jimmy smiled as he hopped up to look at the spell books. Kree hesitated before she touched another one. The lettering on this one turned a bright red.
Kree cringed from the heat radiating off of the page:

Taomo De Lo
Complimento
Se Lax.

She whispered the words, and they heard a click...

Kree looked around again, and then went to the door, "Well, this is strange..."
"What?" Jimmy walked over to her.
"There is no actual lock on the door. We are being locked in here by a spell."
"See...and we have all these spell books to help us, but you refuse to use them."
"And I still do." Kree said, folding her arms.
"Fine. Then I guess we will spend eternity in here."
"That is fine by me." Kree said as she sat down in one of the stairs...

Kree stood up and walked over to the book that Jimmy had just stood by. She slowly ran her hands along the lettering. The words glowed a blue. She looked up at Jimmy, "What did you say?"
"I...don't know." Jimmy admitted.
Kree became angry, "You don't know?! What-are you stupid?!"
Jimmy was feeling defensive, "He was killing you, and the book randomly flipped to the page, so I thought"
"That you would just read what a book of Satan had to say? Do you realize that you could have just given yourself over to Satan?"
"But I'm already dead..." Jimmy argued.
"That doesn't matter. He can still take you." Kree said.
"Well, I'm still here."
Kree sighed in exasperation, "Come on. Let's try to figure a way out of here."
Jimmy started looking through books. Kree glared at him, "Have you learned nothing? Obviously those books are nothing but trouble."
"Well, this place revolves around them, so maybe they could help."
"Oh yeah-just like they helped your dad. Thanks, but I'll pass."
Jimmy sighed as he walked away from the books, "Then what do you suggest?"
