"Emily... Had always been different... Disturbing... She... had never got on well with the other kids from school, I guess that's normal, but... Well, I had a call from school once, saying Emily had threatened a girl who had been bullying her..."
"Miss, It's ok if you don't want to carry on..."
"No, it's fine."
"Ok."
"She... had told the girl that something was going to watch over her whilst she slept."
"And what was this 'thing' Emily had used to threaten?"
"I... I really don't know... But the girl had suddenly become reasonably terrified."
"Hm... Did anything actually occur for the girl at night?"
"Yes... Her parents had phoned me up the day after saying their daughter had been scratched down the back, and she had been up all night screaming and crying."
"Were the scratches caused by the girl herself?"
"No. They... they were more like claw marks."
"'Claw marks'?"
"Yes. Her parents allowed me to come over, since I was friends with them and they weren't blaming me for my daughters actions."
"And...?"
"They allowed me to stay over the night. My husband looked after Emily for the night."
"Why did you stay the night?"
"I'm religious, a christian, and my suspicion had grown to believing that this 'thing' was a demon."
"Demon? Thats a bit rational."
"But... You have to believe me-"
"I do, I do. Carry on."
"So I stayed the night, like I said... And I took the spare room next to my friends daughters bedroom."
"Did anything happen?"
"..."
"Miss?"
"... I...."
"What's wrong? "
