45 Possession

It was dark, cold and quiet. In Izzy's mind, she felt something envelope her in a heavy hug. Her body felt sluggish and she fell onto the bed with her eyes frozen open.

[ Attempted possession detected: Warning host is not powerful enough to resist the spirit's resentfulness!]

The sounds of the phone were drowned out by static in Izzy's ear. She could not feel, hear or smell anything. But, she could see. The dark figure was hovering over her body its mouth wide open attempting to feed its soul into hers.

Izzy's mouth opened automatically. Inside she cried out and a stray tear escaped from her eye.

" Yo, so it's a little spirit trying to take over what's mine", Theonymphi's ringing voice said. He had only noticed the spirit now due to the disturbance in his and Izzy's link. He's solid eyes glazed over the spirit, he could sense the evil sprouting out from it.

The spirit moaned inhumanly, Theonymphi stretched out his hand and began to chant. The spirit realising what he was trying to do, tried to attack him but was bounced back.

The spirit carried feelings of resentment, hate and fear. All of these emotions transmitted to Theonymphi as he recognised the spirit as a teenage girl around the age of 13.

The spirit screamed.

" Shut up!" Theonymphi shout chimed and the screaming spirit immediately shut its large mouth.

It sat on Izzy's bed hunched in a corner whilst Theonymphi chanted a cleaning spell. He tried to fully get rid of the spirit but was met with resistance.

So his only option was to cleanse the evil from the spirit. This was a simple task for him as most Fae are made up of magic and spiritual essence. Theonymphi's essence stemmed from the pure element of wind. He was carefree and calm like the wind and used his essence to calm the spirit.

Its large body began to shrink taking on its original form. A young girl with flaxen brown hair, bluish pale skin and wide eyes began to materialise out of the dark form. That had been tormenting Izzy.

When the spell was complete, Theonymphi whirled around Izzy who seemed to be frozen. Her eyes stared blankly into space. He tried to break her free but could not.

" Hey you!" he snapped at the trembling little spirit.

The girl looked up at him, in fear, and he looked at her with a mixture of boredom and annoyance.

" Release her", he pointed to Izzy. The spirit girl shook her head. In frustration, Theonymphi bellowed " Release her, or I'll fully cleanse you and you will never get your revenge".

The spirit looked up at him, " Y-you can help me?" he nodded and waved his hand, " That's an easy task".

Of course, this was a lie. Theonymphi couldn't fully cleanse her due to the power of her resentment that had been accumulating over years. But, she didn't know that.

The girl waved her pale hand over Izzy's face, releasing her from the spiritual prison she was in.
