We arrive in Florida and go straight to Corey's family home. We're greeted at the door by both his mom and his dad
"Hi sweetie how are you? How was the flight?" his mom asks
"Hey guys. The flight was alright. So this is Sam, Jake, Colby, Rose and Rose's sister Clare" Corey introduces us to his parents
"Rose, you look so much like your mom" Corey's mom pulls me into a hug
"Thanks. Oh and I'm sorry about trespassing years ago"
"Corey filled us in with what's been going on. Come in" his dad says gesturing into the house. We all walk into the house, Corey's mom leading the way to the living room where we see a biscuit tin on the coffee table. Corey's siblings are all sat on a couch, one of them looks to be Clare's age. We sit down and the boys talk to Corey's dad, Clare is talking to Corey's siblings while I'm talking to his mom
"Can you tell me how you knew my mom?"
"We met at high school. She was the popular girl and your dad was the popular guy at school. I had moved school because I had been bullied at my last one and your mom showed me around and quickly became my friend. She then showed me some spell books and we started to mess around with the ouija boards, nothing ever came of it other that the planchette sometimes moving. Fast forward to when we had Corey and your mom had you. Corey was 10 and you were 7. We played the ouija board and something evil came through and said if any of our kids played the ouija board then he would go after them. We hid it from you, but Corey found it and played with it. You found it later on in life, but in the same area as us. Your mom died to protect you and Corey we kept you and Corey apart that's why you moved" by now everyone was listing to Corey's mom "but demons..."
"Demons twist deals" I finish off her sentence knowing what she was going to say "the deal was, while my mom was alive the demons left us alone. He made my mom sick as soon as he could and Rhys made the same deal"
"I'm so sorry Rose" Corey's dad gives me a sympathetic smile.
We continue to talk about what my mom was like at school when Corey's brother Cambrey says to Clare
"I saw you in my dream"
"I saw you as well. You were screaming for Corey" Clare lowers her head
"So mom you had magic?" Corey asks
"Not quite. Rose's mom had magic, but I knew spells and how to ward thing off. I do wonder though if you have magic like your mom"

We talk some more, not paranormal related and then we all head back to our B&B. I get changed into comfortable clothes and get into the bed to take a nap ready for the ritual, as do all of the others.

Dream
We're all in the woods. The demon is trapped, but isn't dying he's just laughing at us
"You can't defeat me. Your missing something, or should I say someone, but shes dead" the demon laughs "they are dead and you can't get hold of them. Rose isn't strong enough"

At the same time Colby and I both bolt up and look at each other knowing we had both had the same dream. I then look over to see Clare looking at us. I text the group chat to find the others are all awake and had the same dream. It's as if we were being given a clue on how to defeat the daemon
"It's my mom and Rhys. We need them"
"But how will we..."
"I remember seeing a spell" I cut Colby off "it will only work though if I actually do have magic, but we won't know until later"
"Babe it's 8pm we should think about heading over to the woods to set up"
"Let's get the others and go" I sigh getting out of bed and quickly getting changed into something else.
