Serena tried not to show it through her warm, comforting smiles, but she was still creeped out by the vision she saw. It's bad enough that her father clearly had no love nor did he care for her and her mom, but to think that a malevolent pressence was behind his addiction to his vices was making her sick to her stomach.

Seeing that demonic spirit was appalling. Whoever or whatever being that showed her that really knew how to make a lasting impact on someone like Serena, attacking her belief to question her own faith. If only it was possible to use her own powers on her, she wouldn't be feeling like this anymore. Still, she knew she had to be strong to face the challenges that might come their way. 

She took in a deep breath and listened to Cian explain the plan. He said their powers were going to come in handy sometime soon, and Serena was dreading about having to use her powers again. Not because it was tiring, but because of the speculation that one or more of them might get hurt or worse. What they saw today was only the beginning. What kind of horrors were they going to witness next?

[color=#FA8072]"Y-Yeah, I mean..."[/color] Serena cleared her throat and steadied her breathing. [color=#FA8072]"I'm not expected 'til dinner time anyway, plus what we saw basically confirmed our suspicions that something wasn't right. Better to learn as much as we could now so we could end this sooner before anyone else gets hurt."[/color] She better explained.

She waited with the others before walking to the place where Grace's cafe was. Now that there was truly something wicked going on in their town, Serena was anxious as they walked. Every shadow looked like an opportunity for a demon to jump through and attack them. She even found herself looking back every few minutes because of the anxiety that someone, or something, was watching them. 

[I][color=#FA8072]'Oh God, please protect us...'[/color][/i] She thought to herself, clutching her rosary as she prayed silently until they found their way to the place Grace's Grotto was supposedly. It's so eerie how something as big as a cafe and its owner would just suddenly disappear and leave no trace of it behind. She wondered if her stepfather and the others at the church could even describe the phenomenon happening to the Grotto, to the town, to Serena, and to others like her.

[color=#FA8072]"Um... Okay..."[/color] Serena nervously said, anxiously looking at their surroundings before focusing on their task. [color=#FA8072]"Is there a way for us to get inside? I think we can find more things there than out here. Maybe... Maybe Grace left us a clue inside?"[/color] She further said in a hopeful tone. She knew it was a longshot and impossible, but far more impossible things had happened. At this point, they could really use a miracle.
