Possession

A stormy night that lighting crash near the Manor, a child that walks in a dark hallway leading down below into the basement. The child could hear chanting of seven people.

They are dress in black robes, with a red rope and drapes, each one holding a specific relic. They chant in union, while a man, the leader started to speak.

The child could not hear the words, but then black mist, slashes with dark colors came to the pentagram on the floor.

The child sees these men and women getting kill, and a shadow figure grab the leader and slowly connected with the child’s eyes.

The cheer fright, terror and horror to see the child have the man been taken away from him, he stretches out and call out to the man screaming.

“Father!” Scream the child as all turn black

The man jumps out of bed stir and gasping for air, as the dog tag jiggles on his chest. The man pant and took a deep breath just to exhale it. He stood up, walking to the bathroom, taking a quick bath as he hears his voice mails. Once the man had finished his daily morning routine, he took his motorcycle keys and left the apartment.

Arriving at the Naval base, he reach his office and started to work.

“Second Sargent, Yuri Wolf, at your service, reporting for dutty Sir” said Yuri

The Man raise his head to see a Russian man, very muscular fit, in his uniform and sharp features, his eyes a very dark green and his hair is black like the night.

“Relax Wolf, there is no one here to act like that” said the man

“Last time I got informal, the General was present” said Yuri

“Well he is not here now” said the man

They both chuckle in union, working in filling the paper work together, after a while in silence a gunny ran toward the hall and others follow, the man and Yuri look at each other and call out for one of the gunnies.

“He! What is going on out there?” Question Yuri

One gunny stops in the door frame

“Sargent Wolf Sir, and Captain Garret Sir! There is a report of a criminal that had escape with inhuman abilities, and is all over the news” said the gunny and ran back toward the rest

Yuri and Captain Garret, stood up and fast walk to the area where a TV stands listening to the report

”Now we are going live on the State County Prison, where Jannet Stud is reporting. Jannet?” Said the anchorman

The picture of the TV change to a woman and the Prison on the background.

“Thank you, Ben, I am standing in front of the State County Prision when a man by the name of Kyler Noel had escape last night, according to the authorities, he was fast asleep when suddenly the jail doors broke, and he was walking out of the hall, killing all the guards as he remains sleeping. There is no sign what so ever of his whereabout at the moment, back to you Ben” said Jannet reporting live on TV

“Captain Garret” call out an older man behind him

Captain Garret, turn round and salute the General

“Captain Aiden Garret, Sir” said Aiden

“At ease Soldier, I would like to discuss with you something important, classified, would you come to my office?” Said the General

Aiden nods and walk behind the General

They reach the General’s Office.

“Is there something wrong Sir?” Ask Aiden

The general sat down on his chair as Aiden stands in front of him.

“Something between the lines Captain. I bet you heard the news about the convict that has escape from the State County Prision?” Ask the General

“Kyler Noel? I just saw the news, what about him?” Ask Aiden

“Mr. Noel indeed had escape from the prison, but according to a friend of mine, inquire something different. He mentions that the Convict was sleeping as he was murdering his victims. This is the footage taken on the news and this is the actual footage” said the General as he shows the footage

The convict was walking and then he started to attack the guards, in on of them, he lifts a guard and tear him apart, punch another guard that send him flying on the other side of the cell block and thrust his hand, punching the guard in the stomached that his fits got through.

The General close his computer and sigh

“I had a call from the police department, they want to verify if we have some Naval Marines that are skill enough to respond for these kinds of actions, and that if we are creating a super soldier, but of course we denied it. There are some speculations of a Possible possession from demons or that the man had injected himself with some steroids that may cause this kind of action” reported the General

“Demons? Sir, surely you don't believe that demons exist, I am not a child to think of Ghost stories, what I don’t understand is the reason that the swat team had not taken action Sir?” Ask Aiden

“Those guards in the footage WERE the Swat team, they got eradicated, now they want the Military to be involve, I am counting on you to grab two of your best men or women to deal with this guy quietly” said the General

Aiden salute again

“Consider it Done Sir” said Aiden

Aiden return to his office and sigh, pinching the bridge of his nose with a heavy sigh.

“By the sound and actions of the Sigh could only mean more work for us, what happen Kapitän?” Ask Yuri

“Where is Sargent Minai Kimura?” Ask Aiden

“Minai is in the training Room” answer Yuri

“Call out to her” commanded Aiden

Later that day Yuri enter the office with a white Asian woman in her Marine uniform

"Minai Kimura reporting for duty Captain Garret” said Minai

Aiden show them to sit down and explain the situation regarding of the Convict. After they finish their conversation Aiden had chosen his two best players.

“I want both of you to be on the squad, let’s hunt this guy and take him Prisoner, we need to make sure what the hell he got into himself and why” said Aiden

They both salute at him and nodded in respond.

Later that evening, they execute their plan to capture Kyler Noel. They started to go into a building he is residing, silently and stealthily they enter with their guns pointing every corner of the building. Johnathan made a fist signal to Yuri and Miani, and place a finger on his lips signaling to stop and silent.

“Are you sure that the EM detector is strong in this area?” Ask a man’s voice

“Don’t you trust my tech? I am a genius in this stuff” said a women’s voice

“Amigos, stop fighting” said another man’s voice

Aiden counted with his fingers and signal Yuri and Minai to attack

“Don’t move!” Said Miani

“Hands in the air” said Yuri

The three people there got scare and let go of some of the devices they had on their hands, breaking one of them by accident

“Yangu!” Yell the Women

The women kneel down and stated to tear up

Both men look at the women and try to comfort her while trying to slow their own heartbeat due to the fright that Aiden’s team had put them through.

Aiden lower his gun and the other’s follow

“What the hell you people doing here, this is a restricted area” said Aiden

One of the men stood up and walk near them, his is average figure, tan color skin and black hair with brown eyes.

“My apologize, we did not know that this place was being investigated. My name is Paulo Santiago, I am a Doctor at The State Hospital, but I am also paranormal investigator, the women that is crying by the device the broke is Asha Uduki and the other guy is Miguel Rodriguez. We were told that this place is a hot spot for any hauntings, so we came to investigate, we didn’t know that this place was restricted” said Paulo

Aiden sigh and look at them

“We were unaware that this place was being investigated either, we apologize that we scare all of you” said Aiden

“We are looking for a Criminal convict that is residing here, have you seen someone else here?” Ask Minai

The trio though for a moment

“Now that you mention it, there were strange sound loud enough to have someone inside the building, if I am no mistaken it was on the top floors” said Miguel

“Пошли, you can come with is, that way we can all be accounted for any doubts” said and suggest Yuri

“Agreed, let me present myself, I am Captain Aiden Garret, this is my Second Sargent Yuri Wolf and Sargent Minai Kimura, we are from the Marines of the State” said Aiden as he presents himself and his team.

They started to investigate the hold building, the paranormal team manage to acquire some light anomalies, but they notice something strange.

“Que Raro?” Said Miguel

“O que?” Ask Paulo

“The light anormalidades , they are moving around in different angles on the lower floors, but in this place is like it’s moving away from this direction like they are scare” said Miguel

Then a loud thud and bang sound started, then strange moaning sound and grunting. This sound makes even Asha shiver in fright, they all walk slowly in union and hid behind some pillars, where they see the Convict Kyler Noel.

“G-Get out of my head!…When did you can into my mind?… Stay away! I don’t want to kill anymore!…(incoherent talking from this point on)” said Kyler contradicting himself and laughing manically at the same time

Aiden look at Paulo, Asha and Jose, he signals them to keep themself hidden and do not move.

Aiden, Yuri and Minai came out of their hiding spots and point their gun at the Convict.

“Kyler Noel, you are to be capture come quietly and do not make any funny business!” Ask Aiden

Kyler started to move funny, like a puppet, his eyes were glazed over, his movement vague and slopy. He grabs a knife and with tear on his face he apologizes and tell them to run.

Something was not right with this man.

“I got a bad feeling Aiden” said Yuri

Minai keep her gun pointed up and watch this man.

“This man looks like he is…” Mini was cut off

The man had move rapidly toward Minai, Aiden reacted fast and yell at her to duck as he started to shoot. The man quickly dogde the bullets and landed in one of the beams on top of the room. They stared to shoot at him, but his movements were fluid and fast.

He was near Aiden and by a hair to slice him up, but a kick from the side of the man had been hit and flew him away from the team. The dust made it impossible to see, and they heard the Guy screech and roar. The sound of swings and punches could be heard, then a cloud of dust move way toward the window and another cloud mist like move out the window.

“Damn, collais i fe” said a women’s voice looking out the window

The dust is removed and the body of The convict lays on the ground. Paulo step out from the shadows to check the body, he was still breathing and badly injured, but alive and unconscious.

“He is alright, just some cuts and bruises” said Paulo

Then all their eyes we in the women that move away from the window.

“Well, what do you expect, he must be exhausted trying to gain control over his body after he has been manipulated or possess. I mean he was not fighting for himself” said the women

“Ee Mungu wangu (Oh my God)” shutter Asha

The women look all six of them and notice the difference in status and profession.

“Let me guess, you three are paranormal investigators by night, but you are a Military doctor (Paulo), you are a mechanic (Jose) and you are an engineer (Asha). As for you three, are Marines, a Captain and two sergeants” said the women

“Verdammt, sie ist gut (Damn she is good)” said Yuri impress

“Who are you?” Question Minai

The women ignore Minai’s words as she got straight to the point

“That is not your concern, what I am is concern that you manage to get that thing escape and now I have to find it before another victim gets possess by that cythraul” said the women irritated

“I am sorry but what do you mean?” Question Asha

“The man was being control by a Dream-walker” answer the woman

“I am confuse a Dream-walker?” question Yuri

Paulo, Asha and Miguel look at each other, and Miguel grab his Rosary and started to pray.

“Dios nos proteja y lo acompañe en la sangre de Christo” pray Miguel

Minai got irritated and pointed the gun at her

“I will not ask again 雌 (b!+[), who are you?” Ask Minai more authority on her tone

“Easy now I am a Researcher expert in the field of the Paranormal” said the women

Aiden place his hand on Minai’s gun and lowers it.

“Thank you for helping us with this convict, however the media and the military would not believe that this man was possess as you call it” said Aiden

“I know that which is why you and your team are taking the credit for capturing him” said the women

Aiden came out of the light and look at the women’s direction

“I thank you for that information” said Aiden

There was a small moment of silence before the women spoke.

“Is the least I can do, Mister?” said Dinah

“Captain Aiden Garret, these are my Sergeants Minai Kmura and Yuri Wolf” introduce Aiden

“And we of the investigation Paranormal team, I am Dr. Paulo Santiago, this is Asha Uduki and Miguel Rodriguez” introduce Paulo

“Yeah, the new Paranormal groupie that I had been hearing about” said the women

The women came out of the shadows. She is wearing some skinny jeans, with brown ankle boots, a grey tank top with a leather jacket. Her skin is white, her hair is red color with hazel green eyes.

Aiden got captivated by her beauty as she stands there with a smirk on her face.

“My name is Dinah Davies” the women introduce herself

They left the building, Dinah was surrounded by Paulo, Asha and Miguel, bombarding her with question related to the paranormal world.

On the other hand, Aiden, keep staring at her. Minai stare at her too but with disapproval, while Yuri looks at Aiden with a smirk on his face.

“So the Dame had captivated you?” Ask Yuri

“Oh please, the man is drooling over her” said Minai teasing Aiden

Aiden glare at Yuri and Miani

“No she has not” said Aiden walking away into the military truck “And I am not drooling over someone” said Aiden as he command them to enter the truck

They drive away passing by the trio and Dinah.

Dinah sees the military people leave, a bit of sadness in her eyes. She gave her contact info to the trio, she sees them mount the car and leaves her on her own.

Her phone started to ring as she connects it to her earbuds and answers the call that she is expecting.

“Yes?” Said Dinah

“Have you found it?” Said the voice on the call

“Found it and lost it, but they are targeting sleepwalkers, however there were some circumstances that I had to hold back the chase after it” said Dinah

“Dream-walkes are not physical, they manipulate dreams, why would they target Sleepwalkers?” said the voice

“I know, there is a lot of incomplete information I have to keep searching and investigating more to find out. This only proves one thing, we might be in the Right area, where he could be hiding” repotted Dinah

“I hope you can at least find him soon; I am drowning with all the paperwork here in finding new candidates and Father is not too happy about it either. Not to mention Uncle, he is making sure that the Kingdom still remains in peace” said the voice

“This is my responsibility and I will take care of it, once I am done, I will return home and help you with the Candidates” said Dinah

“I know we can count on you to find the first Sin” said the Voice

“One way or another the Dream-walkers will take me to their master, the first sin to die, The Sin of Sloth” said Dinah

The next morning, Dinah enter a coffee shop near her apartment area, she is standing there waiting to have her name call out. Then the door open to see Aiden enter, he is in his sweats and exercise clothing, he started to order his coffee, when a nice young girl call out to Dinah’s name.

“Dinah?” Call out the young girl

Dinah grabs her Capuchino with one pump of caramel. With a bright smile on her face

“Thanks” said Dinah

Turning around Dinah’s eyes lock into Aiden’s eyes, they stood for a moment there until he was call out for his coffee.

“Greetings Captain Garret, what a pleasant surprise to see you” said Dinah with a small smile

“Yeah, is good to see you again Miss Davies” said Aiden with his stoic strict expression

Dinah saw a small glint of light into Aiden’s eyes as he might be tough, but he is happy to see her. With a small chuckle Dinah smiles a little wider and look at him.

“Well, I must be off, I got some research to do” said Dinah

Aiden call out to her and invite her to sit with him, also he masks it with the excuse that he has some question for her.

“What do you want to talk about?” Ask Dinah

“You are an expert in Paranormal right?” Ask Aiden

“Well, I did say that I was a Paranormal Researcher” confirm Dinah

“What kind of possess the convict last night?” Ask Dinah

“You mean the black mist like figure that you and the others could not see come out of that man?” question Dinah

“Yes, that thing?” Confuse Aiden

“To be honest, and if my research hypothesis is right, we might had been dealing what we call a dream-walker. An entity, that had manipulated the dreams of that man. However, this man had left the prison, reach that building and try to fight it off, now I do have a hunch related to these things, that might be targeting a specific kind of living beings. I cannot say for sure unless I finish my investigation” said Dinah

"So, the possession's root is of this thing you call it, might be happening more" mutter Aiden

“There is a possibility, I cannot say for sure unless I test my theory” said Dinah

Both Aiden and Dinah remain in the cafe shop continue with the conversation, then they move to a different conversation, Aiden is so at tentative at Dinah’s body language and expression while he remains unfaced and stoic, but his eyes say another thing and Dinah can see it on them.

.

Later that day they finish with their coffee and walk outside the shop, Dinah was adjusting her coat, while Johnathan zip up his sweater.

"I was meaning to ask Miss Davies, regarding about the situation back then" mention Aiden

"You mean the convict case?" question Dinah

"Yes. I reported to my superior they mention that there were more cases like this before and they are asking me to creat a Soecial team of skill people to do some search and rescue. If your theory happens to be correct I would like to keep things under radar and find the source to destroy it, to prevent more deaths like that" said Aiden

He steps closer to Dinah and hand over his card to her

"You don't have to respond to me know, but I would like to have you on board. You are an expert in the field of this things and having you we might have an Idea where to strat, the card has my name, personal number and the Marine corp I work with and my working phone" said Aiden

“Thank you Captian Garret, I consider it and let you know of my desision” said Dinah with a little small/tint flirt on her voice

He nods at Dinah and started to jog away from the shop. Dinah looks at the card and read the name completly, then she smiles with a nostalgic look on her face.

“He is just like you when you were at that age. I hope that this time, fate does not play against our favor, Aiden Garret” mummble Dinah

Dinah reach her appartment and removed the coat, walking to her fridge to open and grab a water bottle, then like eveything in slow-motion, she started to turn and grab the leg that almost kick her face. She slowly looks at the attacker and see another man.

This man was wearing a hospital gown and his body is weak and almost malnutriciotsu.

"So you decide to attack me straight foward, bold for a Dreamwalker" said Dinah with a smirk

She uses the same leg she is holding and toss him toward the otherside of the room. She then jumps over the counter and in a flash grabs the guy's neck, not to tight to choke him, nor to light to let him lose. The. She notice that the guy’s eyes open but, his body is completly unconsious, the it hit her, they guy is asleep.

"I see know, cleaver trick, for someone that is manipulating this guy’s mind, you surely pick one that is going back to the crazy box" said Dinah

The crazy-sleeping man started to trash to the point that his nails scratch Dinah’s arm.

Dinah sneere at the Crazy sleeping man and without holding back she punch the guy's face knocking him down on the otherside of the wall. The unconsius man lays there as Dinah’s scratch arm started to heal. She slowly sat down on top of him and grab a fist full of his hair.

"I know you can hear me, so let's make this simple, I am looking for your boss, any ideas where I can find him?" ask Dinah

The dreamwalker using the ounce of strengh that he has over the man spoke and stated that he does not know what she is refearing in demon tongue, thinking that Dinah would not understand him. A smirk plays on Dinah’s expression and she reponded back in demon tongue too.

"Alright direct approach then..." said Dinah

She raise the man with the presence of the dreamwalker inside him to the wall beside the broken one and try to choke the Dreamwalker out of his body.

"Where is The Sin of Sloth?" glare Dinah at the unconsious man
