Chapter 52.
Jimin's pov
After school I ride to the church. Extremely anxious to meet the Priest. After our last encounter I told him that I would be willing to try and perform the deliverance of the girl in my dreams, but after finding out it was Yoona I think I need help and to be careful.
If there's anyone who knows much about the demons and their realms, it's him. Priest Junho. He performs many rituals or exorcisms to cast out demons.
Anything that is of the supernatural and does not make sense in our eyes we call him. He's the one who he told me about my gift. The Pastor handed me over to him when he found out that I saw and had visions in my dream.
I avoided him for a while because of the vibe he gave off. His office was partially dark, I always cringe because of the feelings surrounding the place. Just knowing that he speaks to demons or even casts them out -scares me. But here I am. I have to put aside all of my thoughts and come forward with my heart. Because as much as it scares me, Yoona is possessed by a very powerful demon.
I enter the church doing a little prayer and remove my shoes. The pianist sits behind the large organ already playing a symphonic melody. I quietly walk past him and a few females who are kneeling down touching the figured statue of Jesus on the cross. Further down in the dark hallway there's a door that's opened.
I gently knock on the door, before entering his office. "Good afternoon Priest," I bow and walk inside.
He's busy with some work but it doesn't seem that important, as he stands up and returns the bow showing great contentment to see me. "Oh Jimin my boy, how are you?"
"I am doing well," I answer as he motions for me to take a seat. His grin is warm and melts the chills down my spine.
"That's odd. Then what brings you here?" He asks while clearing his desk and laying his hands on top.
I take a deep breath. "I need your help to deliver a friend of mine from an evil spirit,"
Just like anticipated his smile diminishes turning into a serious line. "An evil spirit?"
I nod my head, I explain from the beginning of how Yoona behaved and how it got worse when Hoseok got in her.
"When did you start having dreams about her?" He asks taking a pad and pencil from his draw.
"I would say the dreams occured when I first met her although I never saw her face in the dreams until we became really close."
"That's interesting," he says writing somethings down on the pad. "Tell me some of the strange behaviours she's displayed,"
"Naturally, she's sweet and a good girl. I could see it first time we met, she was innocent and didn't look like she could do anything bad. As time went on she began talking with attitude to her teachers and friends even me. She didn't care about her father anymore, she always did things that made him mad and then she would come home and be rude to him too. She told me that she physically touched someone's hand and it burned, turns out it was our English teacher," I explain it all to the priest and he takes down the notes.
"This is a manifestation," the priest says. Jimin just nods his head as he listens to the priest next instructions. At first he's bewildered listening to some of the things the priest says but he doesn't interrupt. The priest hands Jimin a book titled: The Book Of Swiller
"Go and read the book and bring her in as soon as she's in the state."
As I get up about to leave he stops me.
"Temptation will follow but stay away."
"Temptation?" I ask.
"Jimin be strong and stay away."
I nod my head being confused but still leave.

I get back home already knowing it's empty. My mum and dad no longer fight but instead enjoy the comfort of their presence. They've been doing a lot of bonding lately and I kinda feel left out but as long as they shower me with their kind words and dramatic love then I'm happy.
I go up the stairs into my room sitting on my chair with the book in hand. Taking my time to read each and every word trying to understand if there's some message or meaning that the priest specifically wanted me to know.
I ran away from this type of things of the Bible but it seems my life is starting to revolve around it. So in a way, if I do save Yoona from this it'll give me some sort of confidence boost in the spiritual world.
"The virgin kisses Barong, availing herself to the demon...Yoona..kissed Hoseok?" I scrunch my forehead. "That's not possible,"
I mean if that's the way that Hoseok had to come in then it must've happened. But Yoona never knew Hoseok until she came to our school..then how did he get into her. They must've kissed somewhere, maybe in her dreams? Because he seems to have ruled over her dreams. That must be where they've kissed.
"He kissed her in her dreams. What's next?" I keep on reading finding the story between Barong and the goddess very sensual. "Goddess enters soul..evil Yoona,"
My eyes rapidly move to each word feeling a pit growing in my stomach. "Rituals?"
This has been going on for so long. I mean, it's even in the Bible. That means it's been done for years, these demons have killed and ruled over so many virgins.. girls and that's not right. Yoona's life just like that could be taken away and sold to a demon Goddess... wait
"What's your name?" I hear a voice in my head. My heart hardens and I turn around facing my bed.
"Jimin." I answer watching the mist form on my bed and slowly a man almost a giant emerges, with large dark wings. My eyes stare at his wings.
Abraxax.
I've only heard it once and it was enough for me. This angel of darkness is far from being an angel. He's in the rank of the most powerful demon.
His wings, the midnight blue feathers mixed with golden streaks of straight and curved lines that just bring out the boldness of his being, stretch out larger then I've ever seen. They even bend while reaching to the ceiling. His crown of red roses thorns on his head, his attire all dark with scatters of gold dust all over. He's glowing brightely and his eyes a spirit white, all the angles and corners on his face work together to bring out that boldness. His lips quirk upwards and his hands on his knees. His whole auro is beautiful and powerful. The kind of beautiful for demons to draw you in. It's forbidden to stare at a god like him yet for me since I don't serve him, it's prohibited. He's not my god. I serve one God.
Abraxas is a fallen angel.
The first time I met him he tried to convince me into following him. I refused because I knew his nature and why he recruited people like me. But this is the first time I'm meeting him up close.
"Who are you?" He asks with a light chuckle.
"I am an Angel."
His ears perk up and his lip tugs upwards. "That's right, you're an Angel. Not a god." He opens his hand reaching it forward. "But you have the power to be."
"With all due respect, please leave my room." I say straight.
"Think about it Jimin. You have a gift that can either break or build up,"
I clinch my jaw. "Break?"
"Oh. You don't know?" He asks as if he's always known. "You don't know that you can become a Barong?"
I shake my head. "That's not possible," I know I shouldn't have even began with his mind tricks but..it wouldn't kill me or change my opinions or views.
"It is. Just like how your gift is. You have the power to free girls from demons of lust, blockage, suicide, guilt and so much more- same as Barong. You don't know it but it's true. I saw you reading it and I came to tell you the truth that was untold."
I sit down on my chair listening closely. This is the temptation the priest warned me about, told me to be strong and to stay away but I just want to know.
"Barong was just like you. Gifted like you. He used his powers to free and help girls but he found himself and understood himself more. Souls that were dead and had no rest, he felt pity that they could no longer live, he took girls who were alive but didn't want to live anymore and placed those souls in them. In your world it's wrong, a spirit corrupting an innocent girl is frowned upon but ask yourself this. Yoona summoned him by her own choice and he had his rules and she understood- not just her but all girls who change. Everyone can make a choice after they have learned what it will result in. It is so easy to say we should have done it this way afterwards. But you can't know what your choice will result in before actually choosing. They know what they are getting themselves in and can't get out. Jimin, you do the similar thing. Giving girls hope is also trapping them within that boundary. Moving on Barong got so carried away placing spirits in young girls that he not only wanted to let spirits live again but to rule and have better lives."
"Better lives? How is corrupting a person making them better?" I ask.
"Yoona would've been a powerful girl if you never bothered in her life. She would be a queen in her school. Remember the name Queen Ra?"
I remember hearing it from Jungkook the first day I arrived back to school. He introduced Yoona to me as Ra.. so does that mean that evil Yoona is Ra?
"Barong allowed for goddess to rule over and reclaiming their positions-"
"Positions that didn't belong to them." I say.
"You know Jimin when death comes, it doesn't choose who to take- it just takes. It may be fate but it still takes. People need to understand that life isn't a joke, when someone commits suicide they can't come back and when someone makes a trade, they also can't come back or out. Yoona..I like her but when she begged to be safe she knew what she said thus my loyalty Hoseok came."
"But everyone deserves a second chance,"
"Not those who are dead. Jimin I know you care about this girl but she can become better if you do this one thing. You will have full control of her life, no harm, no pain. You will get more powerful everytime you do this one thing." He whispers.
I look at his hand that is still stretched out. My legs move me closer to where he is on my bed. I can't believe I'm going to do this.
"Their fates had already been decided the moment they chose to sin."

Short chapter? Yes. It's usually 2300+ but this time around it's 1910.
I've been struggling with this chapter. I had to learn a little more about what Priest's do, I didn't want to spread false information. Also about Abraxax- that's just new to me so I hope you liked this chapter.
