—Nate’s Thoughts ’d been taunted by nightmares ever since Conner disappeared that day in the church parking lot, exactly forty-four days ago. In my dreams, his teeth were bared in a grimace, lips shrunken back. Empty eye sockets peered down at me before the feeling of his cold, hard fingers flinging me over his shoulder came. He’d bring me to a dungeon, where he revealed his true self. Flashing a smile of black decay, he’d tell me, “We’re all reduced to this eventually anyway.” Then I’d wake up, sweating profusely and in a fit of anxiety. I didn’t understand any of it. Part of me wondered if a demon had possessed him, and I wanted to ask a priest about it. But were demons even real? I’d never heard Father Jamie talk about them. I’d been reading a book on spiritual warfare we stocked at the Bookman, but for some reason, even though I always believed in angels, I thought demons were the inventions of Hollywood. Now I wasn’t sure. Now I was pretty sure demons weren’t only real, but that I’d even caused one to take notice of me at one point and put Conner in danger.
