A deal with the devil 2

Blake stumbled back, shock and horror written across his face. "Rose? Rose, fight it!"

The familial wearing Rose's face laughed, a cruel, mocking sound. "Rose isn't here right now. But don't worry, I'll take good care of her body."

With inhuman speed and strength, Rose's possessed form lunged at Blake. He barely had time to dodge, the wind from her attack ruffling his hair.

"Blake!" Randal shouted. "We need to restrain her!"

Reggie was already moving, grabbing the chains they had removed earlier. "Rose, if you can hear us, we're trying to help!" he called out, circling behind her.

The possessed Rose spun, her movements unnaturally fluid. "Help?" she cackled. "You can't even help yourselves!!!"

She lashed out again, her fist connecting with Randal's jaw and sending him sprawling. Blake used the distraction to tackle her from behind, pinning her arms to her sides.

"Now, Reggie!" he shouted, struggling to hold her still.
