Both me and Seth, without looking at him, said in response to his question "No." And Seth continued to read and I continued to stare blankly at the book. I wasn't able to read it, it all looked like scrambled letters to me because I was a demon. "Seth, you were looking at a symbol when we left for lunch.... I don't think I've seen it before, can you show it to me?" I asked him kindly, making him smile. He puts the book down and draws it on the whiteboard again. "This is the Resurrection circle. You can put a dead human being in the middle, and when you say the correct chant, a demon will inhabit the persons' body, making it active, but destroying the purity inside. So, if Selene here were to just keel over, we could draw this circle and put him in the middle, do the correct chant, and he'll reanimate. The only issue, is that any demon could have been inserted during this time. It could even be Dad's spirit, if the kid's body was strong enough." He says, writing down symbols next to the circle. "This is the chant. You will repeat it three times, and you have the option of sprinkling goats' blood on the body, if you want to try and keep the demonic spirits away. Never works though." He says, looking back at me. "Understand?" I nod a little, writing it all down in my notebook. "So, is this how you were born?" I ask, not looking at him. Seth froze, and he looked at me from the corner of his eye.
