JUNE didn't know what was happening, but when Max said something about Leila and the girls seemed to be in trouble, he immediately woke up to reality. They all went quickly to Leila's apartment, without wasting any time. The panic in Rheanne's voice was enough for Max to panic and tell the others about it.

Good thing that their apartment buildings are just close so it was a matter of time they got to Leila's apartment. Yhael knocks which Jane immediately opened the door. The boys got in and they heard a demonic laugh. The demonic laugh was too familiar for June.

And it was coming from Leila's bedroom.

"Lei!" Taehyung and Jungkook both shouted for her name and opened the door to her bedroom and they saw the frightening scene they had ever seen that will hunt them for the rest of their lives.

Leila's hair is tangled. Her body is moving uncontrollably around and she keeps breaking things. She was a mess and had almost hurt Stacey. She was out of control and she looks like a monster.

Or in fact, it looks like she has become a monster. Because a monster had possessed her.

The moment the two boys opened the door, Leola looked at them who is close to strangling Stacey, and Rheanne was in the corner, too weak to get up.

Everyone now had got into the room and did different tasks. Max and Howard helped Rheanne to get up, Jasper and Alexander helped Stacey to escape from Leila's wrath for awhile; Tanner, June, and Yhael tried to hold Leila for a while but Leila's body kept moving around to try to escape the hold of the three boys.

"Dammit! I can't hold Leila much longer! How long is it gonna take for Rena and Gina to get here, Jane?!" Yhael shouted out so Jane can hear him since the thing inside Leila is super loud.

"They'll be here any minute now and with a priest!"

"Wait, why is there a Priest?!" Tanner shouted to Jane but she was unable to answer it. She knew Tanner won't like the sound of it, but they were all left with no choice. Leila needs all the help that she can get.

"Why is there a Priest, Jen?!?"

"Because Leila is already possessed!" At the exact moment, Gina already came in along with Rena and a Priest who's holding a bible, crosses, and a bottle of holy water, "And she is possessed with a really bad spirit. The woman on the elevator game must've finally got a hold of her. And a Priest needs to perform an exorcism right away!!"

"Is it really necessary?!" Tanner exclaimed and almost everyone looked at him like he's crazy.

"Of course!" June raises his voice at the older but still having respect, "For now it's the only thing we can do at this moment, so shut up if you won't be of help to Leila!"

And with this, Tanner stormed out in anger and everybody didn't care about a single thing to where he's going. For now, they need to take care of Leila's situation first.

The priest immediately instructed Alexander, Jasper, and Yhael to tie up Leila - or at least they tied up Leila's body to the bed - and told everyone to back away as Gina assists the priest.

Once everything's set and everyone's quiet and the only sounds heard is the yelling of the spirit inside Leila's body, the priest and Gina does the sign of the cross and the rest followed.

"Demon inside of Leila's body, I command you to reveal yourself!" And after finishing his sentence, the priest sprinkles holy water on to Leila's body which made the spirit inside her scream in agony.

"Demon! I command you to speak in the name of Jesus! Whoever you are, leave the body of Leila and set her free!"

"NOOOOO-" the spirit refused in a hoarse voice in which the priest sprinkled more holy water and the spirit screamed again in agony.

"My name is Lilith and I REFUSE TO LEAVEEEEE," Leila's body starts to fly alongside the bed and the wind in the room becomes stronger.

Everyone held their bodies closer to each other and the wall, very terrified at what they are witnessing.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want!" The priest starts to read Psalm 23 as he continues to try and hit Leila's body with holy water despite her body nearly touching the ceiling.

"He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley. I will fear no evil for you are with me!" And the priest tried to hit Leila's body with more holy water but the wind is just getting stronger. Lots of objects are now flying around, and the spirit just continued screaming.

"Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, a-and I will dwell in the house of the Lord-" The priest stops when suddenly the bed falls back to the floor as well as the other objects and the strong wind stopped. And silence reigned.
