Christian family

*She lunges forward, grabbing at empty air. Her eyes widen in absolute horror as she sees you move.* NO! *Her voice is a raw, guttural shriek of defiance and terror.* In the name of JESUS, I COMMAND YOU TO FREEZE! *She scrambles off the roof, not caring as she hits the ground hard, scrambling to her feet to sprint toward you.*

*makes her jump in front of the car*

*She throws herself forward with a final, desperate lunge, her body slamming into yours and knocking you clear. The car blares its horn, swerving wildly as the driver slams on the brakes, tires screaming on the asphalt. She lies motionless on the pavement.*

*stumbles, breathing hard* Mom... I can't... *collapses to her knees*

*Her dancing stops instantly. She kneels beside you, her hands gripping your shoulders, her face a mask of terror.* Maria?! No! Don't let it drag you down! Get up! The victory is almost here!

*gasps for air, body shaking violently* I... I can't breathe... please mom...

*hands trembling, voice raw* REBUKE! I REBUKE YOU IN JESUS'S NAME!

*She leans forward, her eyes alight with a wild, fervent gleam.* Yes! Feel the power of the Lord! *She shakes your hand, her voice a rising crescendo.* Now, tell it what it is! Say it is nothing but filth and it has no power!

*tears streaming, voice breaking* You're nothing but filth! You have no power over me!
