A look of panic took hold as she stared into Alex's eyes, and finally realized.
"Mast—"
He held up a hand.
"Shut. Your mouth."
He turned his back, not afraid of Amy in the least. Why would he be afraid? Demons had been in his life ever since he was born.
It didn't surprise him that the demon didn't recognize him. He still had plenty to learn about the demon realm, but he knew they shared a consciousness. They also had bits of individuality as well. Demons could have their own experiences, their own memories.
Not all of them recognized their master immediately.
Jason looked at Alex in awe. He was aware he was seeing something amazing.
"Alex? What's going on?"
He approached the first camera he saw in the dining room. It took a moment to find the power button, but he finally found it and turned it off. The last thing the camera recorded was Kim's troubled expression.
"You never had a ghost," Alex explained. "Your house was never haunted. You have a demon. It must have somehow slipped through a hole in between the realms. It's been waiting and getting stronger ever since, feeding off your fear. Don't worry, your house isn't a gateway, or you'd be seeing much more than this."
"A demon?" Jason said. "Realms? Gateway?"
Alex sighed. He knew it was a lot to take in. He waited until after turning off the camera in the living room before speaking. Donna and Keith seemed a little more relaxed, but continued to watch Kim.
"There's our realm, the spirit realm, and the demon realm. The spirit realm and ours are closer together. Ghosts are always running around." He thought about Nate. "Some of them really like to talk. The demon realm is a lot harder to get to. We're not meant to see each other, but it does happen."
Jason asked the only question that truly mattered.
"And you can get rid of it? You can help my daughter?"
"Yeah."
He knelt in front of Keith and looked up at Donna.
"Hey, guys," he said gently. "Are you both hanging in there?"
Keith wiped a tear from his eye and squeezed his mother's hand. Donna actually managed to give Alex a smile and a nod.
"Good, good. Listen, I need some help. I need you to get an empty trashcan. It doesn't have to be too big. And maybe some old sheets or blankets you don't care about. Can you do that for me?"
Donna nodded.
"Thank you. Set it all up in front of Kim. Don't worry, she won't hurt you." Alex turned and glared at her. She recoiled and averted her eyes. "Will you?"
Alex's presence was already having an impact. The fear in the household was slowly ebbing. The demon was weakening, although it had a solid hold on Kim. It would never release her willingly. Alex wasn't sure if it even knew how to.
Donna and Keith went to the basement as Alex turned off yet another camera. He headed to the second floor to turn the remaining ones off. Jason was right behind him.
"Could you hit those cameras at the end of the hall?" Alex asked.
"Uh, should we be doing this? I don't think Donovan would want us shutting them down like this."
Alex laughed as he ducked into Keith's room. "Yeah, a lot of good they've done so far."
"This one doesn't have a button," Jason called.
"Then just turn it toward the floor."
They met up in the hall.
"Are you saying Donovan did the wrong thing?"
Alex leaned against the wall and sighed.
"No. Donovan is a good man, with good people, and they're just doing what they know. Gathering evidence, getting the church involved, there's nothing wrong with that. Demons hate faith, strength, love, and holy dudes do a great job at channeling that. But you won't see Donovan again for a day or so."
"What do you mean?"
"The church will give him the runaround, no matter how much film he gets. He'll have to fight just to get them out here. And an exorcism, if they go that way, takes time, sometimes weeks. But
