Anne: "Alanon Barabuon"

Robert and I are in a house that resembles Otis and Marie's house in the foyer and front/front yard, but the living room and kitchen are in an open concept style. The house is decorated in warm colors of yellows, creams, browns, etc. There is a bathroom just off the living room. The entrance has a dark, wooden, bi-fold door. But, the interior is much more ornate. There is a sofa table in front of a large mirror and a chase lounge in the middle of the room. The place is adorned in large plants. The toilet itself is in the corner of the room. "How awkward," I think, "what if someone wanted to sit in the chase?"

I have to use the bathroom and Robert is trying to hurry me along. When I use it, none of the toilet paper will flush and I realize I might have clogged it. I flush again and hear Robert chuckling outside the door. "Great, he thinks I'm pooping," I say to myself. I find some rubber gloves at the bottom of the sinks and fish out the toilet paper with my hands. No trashcan is present and I don't know what I'm going to do. At the opposite wall, I see a white curtain covering another entrance. I go in, hoping to find a place to toss everything. There are three different showers in the room. I open the largest and it is a carpeted shower filled with boxes. I decide to just throw my stuff in the corner because it appears Robert doesn't use this one.

I walk out the hidden entrance and Robert is in the bathroom waiting for me. He says we need to have a serious conversation. I look in the mirror and we both look different than we do in real-life. I look like Maggie from the Walking Dead and Robert looks like a young Leonardo DiCaprio (definitely not complaining by the way!).

We sit at the dining room table and he tells me that I must go. That I must never return. I become upset because I feel like he's dumping me. He tells me not to cry because he's doing this for my safety. Confused, I told him not to lie to me and just tell me the truth.

"If you're going to break my heart, the least you can do is be honest about it."

He tells me he's not leaving me and that he'll come find me once he finishes "the job." I tell him Glenn would never have done this to me and that he would let me fight by his side (I guess my life is like Maggie?) Robert isn't upset by this statement but tells me that I don't understand what I'm up against. I hear police sirens outside our door and ear-piercing screams. Robert tries to rush me into the hidden room of the bathroom but I refuse. I run out the door with Robert following.


There is a little girl in the driveway and the police have surrounded her. She looks similar to the little girl from The Conjuring 2 but she has a white dress on and no shoes. I yell at the police to stop because she is just a little girl. Robert grabs my arm and tells me to not go over there.

The little girl looks me in the eyes and starts saying "Alanon Barabuon." I have no idea what this means but apparently it's a demon's name and I have been marked. She continues to repeat it and Robert pushes me inside the house.

Robert starts getting a bag together. He tells me I have to go far away. He says if I stay here, the demon will find me and I will end up like the little girl. He tells me he loves me but he can't help me, only a priest can do that. I run to my car (the disaster in the driveway is resolved I'm assuming).

I drive for what seems like hours and pull up to a shopping area that has multiple gas stations and a Wendy's. I have been operating a shipping truck with my car. Apparently my car contains some kind of large magnet that the truck connects to so I can pull it without damaging my car. I realize it won't fit in the gas station so I leave the truck parked terribly in the Wendy's parking lot.


When I return from the gas station, I realize I don't know how to connect my car and the truck. I am under the impression that there are important items in this truck to protect me. I don't want to leave it just in case the priest needs any of it. I hear whispers, whispering the same name "Alanon Barabuon." It sounds almost like a chant. I know it is approaching. I see the silhouette of a tall figure with antlers on its head. I know I need to leave but I know I need to bring this truck or it was all for nothing.
