That Fateful Day Chapter 9

Fay woke up with a headache. She didn't even remember falling asleep. She figured she must have been drugged. When she finally came around she tried to figure out where she was and where Matt was. Even though there were a ton of people around, Matt was not to be found. She decided they must have separated them to keep them from working together to get away. It appeared that she was in something similar to a jail cell. It was very dimly lit and the demonic activity was so dense, she wondered to herself if breathing was even safe.

The people around her were a diverse group. There were young and old, all different people groups, different hair colors, and so on. From what she could see they could all notice the demons. Most looked terrified. The person that caught her attention the most though was a little girl, who couldn't be anymore then five, sitting in the corner, hugging her legs, and hiding her face in her knees. She walked over to her.

"Hello." Fay said as warmly as possible. The little girl looked up at her, tears were streaming down her face.

"You're not one of the evil ghosts." The little girl said quietly. "Finally, somebody who's not an evil ghost is talking to me." She promptly stood up and hugged Fay tightly.

"No." Fay said hugging her back. "I'm not an evil ghost. My name is Fay. What is yours?"

"I'm Hope."

Fay smiled. "That's a beautiful name. Hope, do you know who Jesus is?"

This made Hope smile. "Yes! He is God's Son, He died to save me from my sins, and He is the one who has kept the evil ghosts from hurting me."

Fay's smile got wider. "That's right. Did you know that because you know Jesus, you can make the evil ghosts go away?" One of the demons got wind of what Fay was doing and tried to constrict her speech, but this was a mission that Fay had been chosen for. "In the name of Jesus stay away from me!" Fay screamed at it. It squealed in pain.

"Really?" Hope asked, bright eyed.

"Really." Fay answered.

"How?"

"You can tell the evil ghosts to go away back where they came from and never come back in Jesus' name." Fay instructed.

"Ok." Hope grabbed Fay's hand. "Evil ghosts! Go away, back where you came from and never come back! In Jesus Name!"

A loud shrieking sound filled the room, everyone covered their ears. A wind howeled and everyone shivered, a few people were shaken a bit by the demons, then all at once they left the room, disappeared almost without a trace.

A calm came across just about everyone in the cell. "Does anyone have any ideas on how to get out of here?" Fay asked.

"I have a bobbi pin that I've tried on the lock several times, but never got anywhere." One woman middle age answered.

"Try it now." Fay suggested. The woman tried and it worked this time. They went around to all the other cells and unlocked them too. Soon hundreds of people were all walking towards what they hoped was an exit to a building. Fay found Matt.

"What a fitting name Hope has." Fay thought as she walked. "Fitting indeed."
