In the Dark

All went well until we got into the basement, where I could feel a great deal of energy in and near the furnace room. Dave and I suddenly looked at Helen. She had stopped, her eyes were blank and some of her hair was standing up. She wasn’t putting this on.
“I feel it on me!” she said, her voice nervous but not fearful. Then, suddenly: “He says you’ll never find him.”
“We’ve already found him,” I replied calmly. Then, to it: “We know what you are, and you will leave this woman alone. You have powers arrayed against you that you can’t possibly imagine!”
“He’s laughing!” she said. “But he doesn’t want you here and he doesn’t want the holy water.”
“Enough!” I said. “Dave, take Helen’s hand!”
I took one hand and Dave the other. Immediately, the thing backed off. I called upon God, Goddess, angels and every other positive power I could think of to help protect Helen, and to help build love and protection in this house! In another moment, the thing was gone. Helen looked and felt normal again.
It was because of this incident that the light bulb really went on for Dave.
“After we did that, I can really see what you mean about love driving this thing out!” he said.
