It is getting out of hand
"This demon, he is in Ana. How is that even possible?"
Cassie finally revealed without beating around the bush.
I heard her voice quiver in emotion when she asked me that question. On the other hand, it took me a second before it registered on my brain what I just heard. But when understanding dawned on me about what she just told me, I sucked my breath and hurried back to my seat.
"Are you meaning to say that your friend got possessed by the demon who attacked you? How certain are you and how did it happen, in the first place? Did they have an altercation? Did she get wounded by the encounter?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer my question, I asked her one query after another. Meanwhile, Cassie only shook her head continuously as a response to me.
From how it seemed, it looks like things were slowly blowing out of proportion.
This definitely did not sound like good news.
"No. My friend ran him over and he died on the spot. But when we get home and I was just about to get sleep, Ana suddenly attacked me from behind. She tried to strangle me to death using a belt. Other than that, I also noticed her using a voice that does not belong to her. At first, I could not believe my ears as well when I heard the change in her vocals but then eventually, I realized that she was starting to sound more and more like the man who attacked me. That was how I was able to tell that my friend was possessed by that same demon."
Cassie told me about everything in one breath that when she finished telling me what she had been through last night, she was almost gasping for air.
"I get it now. It is because when the demon skin died and its body dies without undergoing a proper procedure, the demon would just simply switch to a new host; jumping to the nearest person."
I tried to explain the situation to Cassie in the simplest way possible. But at the same time, I also could not help but notice an anomaly.
"But I must say, I was surprised that the demon was able to take control over your friend within that short amount of time. "
I insinuated before I could even stop myself from saying it. I even wanted to add another question,
'If I may ask, does she happen to commit a great sin in the past?'
But luckily, I was able to hold back my tongue and the last question only got to remain inside my head.
I have not gotten a chance to meet this Ana yet. But I already have a fair reservation against her and I am skeptical for a reason.
First, and foremost there was no way, a demon could be able to attach itself to its host and choose random people on the street.
A strict requirement has to be met first, that was why demons could not simply go around and possess humans at will.
It was a must for them to secure a prospective target first because, without an ample amount of negative energy, there was no way they could enter a body, negativity was like their free ticket.
Most importantly, unless a person just recently claimed someone's life and or still has blood in her hands that were fresh from a kill, there was no way a demon would be able to manifest itself right away, or in Ana's case within that same night.
Normally speaking, it would take years, or around a few months or at least a couple of weeks before a demon could overtake the body of its host, provided that they already met the negative energy requirement.
Solely for a reason that only when a person had fully succumbed to their murderous intent could the demon start to influence their way of thinking and eventually take over the body.
Being susceptible to instantaneous possession could only mean one thing, it was a consequence of killing someone prior to the possession.
Because only those who have once shed someone else's blood and had already taken countless lives could be prone to demonic possession, in the first place
It was for that same reason why people doing a killing spree out of the blue was one of the major signs that we look out for.
At the same time, It was also for these reasons why I could not help but wonder how big was the skeleton that the other party's friend was hiding inside her closet.
Provided the facts, there was no way Ana could attest that she was an innocent gal.
