[Quote=ElderF]A shout escaped his lips unbidden. "Shut it!" Suddenly realizing his outburst, he waved his hands apologetically, "No, no, I didn't mean you, Katherine, sorry about that. Nevertheless, this is the age of science. I'm not so prone to flights of fancy and delusions as to so easily accept having a demon inside of me just to explain there recent incidences that happened to me. I mean, it could just be a genetic mutation, right? Something our level of science hasn't been able to figure out yet, right?" Yet even as he said it, he heard the hollowness and anxiety of his words, words meant for himself to try to waylay and avoid accepting the cold, hard reality presented to him. Turning to the others, Jorn more pleaded than asked, "Come on, you guys. Are you really serious about believing all this? Demons? Immortality? I mean, sure I healed up rather fast but I still bled like a stuck pig when I cut myself up. This all can't be true, right?" Jorn's voice quivered at the end of his sentence as he looked at each of them, hoping for someone to suddenly burst out in laughter and assure him it was all a joke [/Quote]

Tiffany looked up at the man who had spoken. He seemed to be the oldest, but he was growing increasingly panicky at the prospect of having a demon in his head, believing it to be all a farce. She wished to believe it too, but everything the woman had said was the truth. They indeed all had demons in their head.
 [i] He clings to the lies, not willing to acknowledge the truth. Disgusting. He's a liar. A LIAR! You should know now shouldn't you,[/i] [u]sweetie[/u]? [i] Go on, tell him. Tell them all. You know the truth. You're going to be stuck with me for the rest of your life, which happens to NEVER END![/i]

Tiffany brought a hand up to hold her head, wincing as the voice got increasingly louder. It always did this when someone wasn't being truthful. "S-she's not l-lying. I can... t-tell. We really do have d-d-demons in our heads. Can't you h-hear it?" Tiffany winced again as the voice continued ranting, slowly sliding to the floor, head in hands. "I-I'm so s-sorry. It just won't stop." She was on the verge of tears. She had hoped that it wouldn't happen today, the there would finally be the peaceful silence she longed for every day.
