A Demon Within Page #2

- Well. Uh, yours?

- Oh, great.

Let's just say I don't want

to make a habit of cooking.

Right. So what's

on the menu tonight?

Tonight, Monday?

Monday is pizza night.

I have been known

to eat a large,

all by myself,

in one sitting.

Not very often because

that is totally unhealthy.

That must be quite a sight.

You and Charlotte

should try monical's.

It's the best pizza in town.

We should probably go

with someone who knows

what to order then.

I'd love to take you, but...

I don't usually fraternize

with patients.

No, no.

That's just Charlotte.

I go to Dr. so-and-so

on the other side of town.

Not now 'cause I'm

totally fine, but...

But seriously,

you can't go wrong

with anything on the menu.

Okay, well, I guess

I'll have to risk it myself.

Okay.

Bye.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Mom!

Yeah?

There's literally

nothing to eat.

I just got groceries.

I'm sure there's something.

- I want pizza.

- Pizza?

Pizza!

- Why are you so excited?

- No, no, nothing.

I'll go get us a pizza.

I heard about a great place.

Okay.

Welcome. Dining in?

Carry out, actually.

What can I get for you?

One large pepperoni pizza.

- Will that be all?

- Yes.

If you'd like to take a seat,

that'll be right up.

Hey.

This place is hopping

for a Monday night.

I told you.

Best in town.

It's the only in town.

Much different than Chicago.

Do you mind if I sit here

while I wait?

Sure.

Um, so what are your thoughts

on crestwick?

Um...

I think it was

the change I needed.

It's so overwhelming.

I wanna try to have

at least one day off.

I'm sure you can.

That's what's great

about college.

It's gonna be so awesome

being out on our own.

I'm so ready for this.

What the...

what is going on

in this house?

At least the Internet...

well, this isn't creepy

at all.

Okay.

Great.

Wtf, girl? I thought you

were dead or something.

Dramatic. My Internet

just came back up.

Hi, Ms. Larsen.

Who are you talking to?

I totally thought

i saw your mom.

My mom's not even home.

She's probably out

stalking Dr. Miller.

But I swear.

Anyways, who's Dr. Miller?

The really cute town doctor.

Do you hear that?

- What?

- Let me call you back.

Come on.

Pick up, mom.

I actually...

I actually have one better.

Yeah. Let me get a little bit

more of that first.

Hi, this is Julia.

Leave a message.

Mom, did you feel

that earthquake?

I'm seriously freaked out.

Call me back when you get this.

Mom, seriously, where are you?

The quality of the soil

underneath

is actually more important

than how you...

Only in this town would a garden

trump an earthquake.

Mom?

Mom, is that you?

Seriously, this isn't funny!

I really better go.

Charlotte's gonna kill me

for taking so long.

The good thing is this pizza's

great even when it's cold.

I love cold pizza.

So do I.

Well, hopefully we can try

that famous stir-fry

you've been talking about.

I'm not actually sure

i remember how to make it.

Hopefully it comes to you.

Thanks again for letting me

ruin your dinner.

Mom, did you feel

that earthquake?

- I'm seriously freaked out.

- Earthquake?

Call me back

when you get this.

Charlotte?

Hon?

Charlotte?

I'm so sorry. I didn't

get your message till now.

What is this about

an earthquake?

Oh.

Uh, nothing.

Don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it?

Come on. Let's eat.

I'm not hungry anymore.

Fine.

It'll be downstairs

if you want it.

It won't help.

She's burning up.

I have to get the fever down.

You have to get her

back to the hospital.

Shh! It can hear you.

The hospital

is not what she needs.

You are clueless

as to what she needs.

This is absurd. Let me do my job

and everything will be...

I have seen it! There is

something in this house,

and it has taken over

my baby's body.

Olivia, I'm telling you,

get her back

to the hospital...

you are too proud with

your precious medical degree,

your fancy medicines,

and your blown up freaking ego

to admit that

this is beyond you!

Get out of my house!

- Father Donald.

- I'm here for maddie.

Father, you don't actually

believe this crap, do you?

Listen to me. Maddie is showing

the classic signs of possession.

Demonic possession.

Listen, this has

happened before.

It's the house, Jeremy.

It has to be.

You are just as crazy as Olivia.

No wonder she's this way.

You keep feeding her

this nonsense.

I'm not gonna let maddie

pay for it.

Charlotte, breakfast.

Charlotte?

Charlotte, breakfast is ready.

Hurry up before it gets cold.

Where are you going?

Uh, to school.

The teachers

have a meeting today.

Oh.

Did you hear me say

breakfast was downstairs?

Charlotte!

Jesus!

Will you stop doing that?

What?

What is this?

What has gotten into you?

I didn't do it.

Clean this up.

I'm gonna be late.

Don't forget you're

babysitting drew tonight.

Hello?

You're not gonna believe this,

but I just bought this bag

of fresh vegetables to stir-fry,

and I realized that I just

bought too many of them.

Oh, no. That's no good.

It's not good to waste

would you like to come over

and help me cook

and get rid of them?

I might.

So does that mean

you'll, uh...

You'll join me?

What time?

Uh, well, I'm just about to

start to get ready to cook.

Would you like

to come over and help?

Yeah. I'm free, actually.

I could come over now.

Great. I'll, uh,

see you when you get here.

Okay. See you soon.

You've reached Charlotte.

Lucky you.

Leave me a message,

and I'll get back to you.

Hey, honey, I just want to let

you know that I finished school,

but I won't be home right away.

Spontaneous dinner

with Dr. Miller.

Yesterday's pizza

is in the fridge.

I will see you soon.

Just want to let you

know that I finished school,

but I won't be home right away.

Spontaneous dinner

with Dr. Miller.

Yesterday's pizza...

Mommy won't be gone

that long, honey.

I don't wanna go.

Oh, baby.

Mommy hates to leave

her big boy here,

but I'll be back soon,

i promise.

Hi.

Hi, Charlotte.

- Drew say hi.

- Hi

come on in.

I have to get going because

I'm running a little late,

but I'll be back

in less than two hours.

Mommy will see you soon.

Have fun with Charlotte.

Wanna play hide and seek?

This is a really nice place.

How long have you been here?

I've been here

a couple of years,

but it's been a while

since I've had any guests.

Well, then, I'm happy

that you called me.

I have to be honest.

I have not been

on a date in...

Forever.

What about monical's?

Oh, well, at least this time,

i was actually invited.

One, two, three,

four, five, six,

seven, eight, nine...

Ten.

Gotcha.

That was really good.

Well, let's wrap some up

for Charlotte.

She would like that.

How's the rash?

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I think.

That didn't sound

very convincing.

She didn't say anything

about the rash.

Just wasn't

quite herself today.

No? Is everything all right?

It's just strange, you know?

I can't quite

put my finger on it.

Just...
