I wake up to white light. My eyes start to focus and I notice I am in a hospital room. I look around me to see Dan laying in a hospital bed along side me, unconscious. A nurse walks by our room, "Uhm excuse me?" I say. She walks back and into the room, "How long have I been out?"

"Your name?" The brunette nurse asks me.

"Cassie." She easily found my name.

"Ah yes, Cassie. You have been knocked out unconscious for two and a half months." My eyes grow wide. Why would she say that so calmly? I look at Dan then back at her.

"And how long has he been out?"

"Hmm. Dan Smith. He was out for a week."

"What has he done while I was passed out?"

"He insisted to stay in the hospital room with you even though he was due out three weeks ago, so, we just had him set up camp on the bed aside you." I can feel me cheeks flush red. I nod sheepishly and the nurse walks out of the room.

"Why have you stand with me, Dan...?" I ask myself, sitting up, and staring out the unblinded window on the wall next to me. His heavy breathes were adorable as he slept. I look around the room to see if I can find my phone. I end up finding it on the bed side table. I look through my contacts and the very first person I spotted was Woody.

I press his name and press call. After a few wrings, Woody picks up, "Cassie?! You're awake!" I stifled a smile, laughing slightly.

"Ya...Do you think you and the other boys could wander over here and bring some food? I am starving." Woody chuckles.

"Sure, Cassie. We'll be there in a bit." Then he hangs up. A wave of relief waves over me and I lay back down. Staring at the ceiling, I try to remember why I am here. Memories come back and hit me like a giant wave filled with my greatest fears.

I let out a horrifying scream, remembering everything. My actions causes Dan to jump out of bed. I can feel his guilt as he stares at me, worriedly, "Cass..." He whispers, and for a second I swear I can hear relief and terror in his voice. My head whips around to face him.

"D-Don't....D-DON'T TOUCH ME!" I yell, starting to get terrified.

"Stop!" He yells weakly, "You are way to weak right now and you are going to end up summoning them again." I let out a loud laugh as he says this to me. I can't believe this. Why am I even talking to him. WHY THE FUCK AM I EVEN WITH HIM RIGHT NOW?!

"Right now...I am filled with so many different emotions, I don't know which one to pick." I love Dan but yet I don't. I hate him, yet again...I don't.

"Well obviously you are angry-"

"Don't even start, Daniel." Will says as he walks into the room.

"Now we all know. You happy?!" Kyle says sort of stern.

"You should have just told us when you found out, Daniel Campbell Smith!" Woody yells. My sister is not with them, which calm me down. Kyle turns to me, the anger in his eyes melting and filling with relief.

"Thank god you are okay, Cassie!" He says, striding over to me, and kneeling down next to me.

"What else could happen? Nothing worse could have happened." I hear Dan chuckle to himself as I say that.

"You are shitting me, right. Please tell me you are kidding?!" Will and Woody exchange worried glances. These do called demons were tearing Dan apart from the inside and driving him mad.

Just then, the whole room turns dark, and fills with vile laughter.
