Chapter 6.

'What the hell is going on!?'� demanded Terra.
She was terribly confused. Sean had been taken to the hospital on a stretcher. Bill, Kimmi and Terra were all standing around quite anxiously in the waiting room.
'Well, it's kind of hard to explain.'� Said Kim.
'We have all day, and I have time, so let's start!'�
There were a few minutes of an awkward silence, while Kimmi tried to gather her thoughts to explain the impossible to a fairly smart girl. The silence was broken when Sean was wheeled in the room in a wheelchair.
'Terra,'� he said grimly, 'I know that this is extremely confusing to you right now, I swear I will explain to you everything you need and want to know. Just be patient, and stop the yelling, we're in a hospital.'� He finished with a weak smile.
'Oh my God!'� Terra cried, 'How is your leg? Did you get poisoned? You're going to get better soon, right?'�
He smiled even more knowing that he was worried about.
'I'm fine, thirty-six stitches. They just need to run a few more tests. I'll be free and back on my feet in a few hours.'� At that point, he was on his way out to get tested for other various diseases from his bite wounds.
'Terra, this is very hard to explain. And I'll do my best to tell you what's going on, but you must swear to keep this all between us.'� Kim started to explain, 'Okay, for the past few years, I have been having these dreams, really scary dreams. I believe that I am haunted by the devil. I say that because in my dreams, I'm in a dark, desolate forest, and the trees have people's names etched in each one of them. Along with that, a voice is telling me that I will soon be added to the collection of souls. What else could it be then? So I started a little blog seeing if anyone else had anything similar to that. About this attack, it might be linked to my dreams and the knowledge that I have on this subject. Got it?'�
'No, but from what I can gather, this attack is strictly from you sticking your nose where it doesn't belong.'�
'It's not that, Kim was kinda called into it. Her dreams are none of her fault, and I'm sure if you were in the same situation, you'd do the same.'� Jumped in Bill.
'You have no idea.'� Terra said in her defense. 'So, are you going to just leave it here? Or are you going to continue doing whatever you were doing?'� Terra then asked.
'To be honest, if you guys want to quit, fine, but I will continue looking for answers, no matter how hairy things get.'� Boldly stood up Kimmi.
'I don't know, it was so scary, I mean what just happened, I don't know what I would do if someone was actually killed.'�
'If not for us, then at least do it for Sean. There's no doubt in my mind that he'll keep helping us.'� Kim excitedly added her input. Terra gave in and nodded, confirming her joining in the group.
A little while later, Sean hobbled in on some crutches.
'Ha! The little bastard left me a little gift.'� He said, holding a small, sharp object.
'Eew, what is that?'� cringed Kimmi.
'It's his tooth.'� Sean smirked.
'You gonna keep it?'� asked Bill.
'Of course, as a symbol of my victory over Satan!'�
'Dude, I rescued your ass.'� Laughed Bill.
'You know, you could be a little nicer to the injured, don't ruin my high!'�
'Let's go, we all need to talk.'� Terra said.
'Tomorrow, I need some aspirin, and some rest. I gotta go home.'� Sighed Sean.
'Yeah, let's go.'� Said Kim, 'Oh, don't forget to read another article tonight.'�
'What article?'� asked Terra.
'I'll tell you later, hon.'� Said Sean
'Okay.'�
'See ya guys.'� Said Bill.
'Later!'� said the rest of the group
