Lucy entered St. Michael's and saw Father Anthony kneeling at the base of a magnificent cross hanging in the back of the large dimly lit church. She hurried to meet him, her steps echoing loudly through the empty building. The young priest looked over his shoulder, saw lucy approaching and stood up.
"Father please, I need to to tell you what happened to me last night."
"Not here Lucy."
Father Anthony headed toward the confessional with Lucy close behind. The confessional was tiny and free of any decoration. It had a separation that split the room in two for those that lacked the courage to confess face to face. Lucy opted to sit directly in front of father Anthony for this was more of an appeal for help than a true confession.
"Lucy, did I hear you correctly over the phone? Do you believe you were possessed by a demon last night?"
"No, the Devil. I'm sure I was posessed by the Devil."
Lucy's words frightened Anthony. He knew Lucy, she was a beloved teacher, a role model, an honest person. She would never joke about something like this.
"The Devil himself? Are you sure it wasn't a nightmare?"
"No father, It was him. He appeared to me while I was praying. I tried to run but I couldn't. He showed me awful things. He... He made me do awful things."
"Did he hurt you? Did you hurt yourself?"
"No but... He made me... He tricked me... I think had sex with him."
"He raped you? I have never heard of possession that invo..."
"It wasn't rape. I mean, at the time I wanted to, I wanted him. But I didn't want to. I couldn't stop myself. I wanted to fuck him, he came in me. I was so scared and angry. It felt so good. I feel like my body wasn't mine. I'm just so confused. I don't know what I'm thinking. I... I need help father. I can't get these thoughts out of my head."
"Calm down Lucy. What did he show you? What did he make you do?"
"He somehow made the television show me that Adrian was cheating on me with a young woman last night. It looked so real, it had to be real."
"Has Adrian been cheating?"
