I am Jude
25) Countdown to Monday
Previous ChapterNext Chapter{Jude}
I looked at Celestia the next day as we were sitting on my bed in my room and she was transformed as Michael talked about why Ivy and Eli were concerned about what was going to happen on Monday.
"What is the deal with Monday?" I asked, "I don't get it."
Celestia shrugged. "I don't know Jude. The only thing I can figure is that's when the next full moon for the month is. That's usually when those that have power that are connected to the night, their magic is doubled. I wonder…"
"Oh no," I said. "If you say it has something to do with Logan, I swear. I'm going on another demon rampage. You guys have been driving me nuts with that stupid joke for weeks now! It's getting on my nerves."
"Okay, okay, fine I won't say it and I won't think about it," Celestia said. "That's the only explanation I can come up with. That's usually when exorcisms are done."
"Lovely," I said. "If that's what they're planning for me, I'm not going."
Celestia gave a nervous laugh, "Well, you won't be able to fight that."
"Excuse me?" I said.
"There's only one way to tell if an exorcism needs to be done," Celestia said. "There's a special room that has what's called an exorcist altar on it. If a possession is suspected of someone, then they are tied down to the altar. If the altar does connect to the person that's tied down to it then, yes that means they are indeed possessed. And that usually can only take place on the night of a full moon. You know, Ivy and Eli are only doing this because they care about you right?"
I sighed, "Yeah I know. I just think they're going overboard on something that's not true. But I guess I can't stop them so whatever…"
Celestia reached over and kissed me. She got on top of me and I groaned when she put me inside of her. It felt so good once we started having sex. I wasn't thinking about anything else at the moment.

As I went about looking over my checklist that I had made for myself preparing for the exorcist that is going to be done for Jude on Monday, Noah sat on a chair in the room where the altar was. He stared at the altar in amazement. "This altar is something else! Who made it?"
I looked up from my checklist and smiled, "The Princess of the Night, Princess Luna made it before she stepped down from the throne and gave it to Rainbow Dash. Once I agreed to take over dealing with the responsibilities of taking care of the night, this was one of the first things Princess Luna showed me. I know, I had the same reaction that you're having on seeing it for the first time."
"Wow," Noah said.
"No kidding," said Raven. "Odar would definitely want to visit this place when he hears everything we've learned here!"
"Yeah I know," said Crow. "First there's talking ponies along with humans coexisting together, there's two people that control the sun and the moon and to top it all off, this amazing altar!"
"Yeah, but whatever you do, don't touch it okay?" I cautioned. "It won't work if there's someone else's magic on it before Jude gets to it. That's why this room has been on lockdown for weeks now. It's reserved for Jude no one else at the moment. True, there's been others that have gotten possessed by a spirit, but they're going to have to wait until Jude gets taken care of. Right now, he's the most important person to me and I'm not losing him to that monster Logan if I have something to say about it."
Noah chuckled, "Well that makes sense, I would feel the same way if this happened to Odar."
I nodded and went back to going over my checklist.

I sat down in the throne room and not on my throne because I was anxious about what was going to happen with Jude on Monday. I would sit down, then get up a pace back and forth, sit down and then pace back and forth over and over again. Oliver frowned when he entered the room, "Are you okay Rainbow?"
"As you can see, I canceled Day Court for the day because I won't be able to concentrate on it, and I'm pacing back and forth and I can't sit still," I said. "So no, I'm not okay Oliver!"
"Let me guess," said Oliver, "you're worried about what's going to happen with Jude on Monday?"
I nodded. "Bingo!"
Oliver sighed, "I don't know what to tell you Rainbow, all we can do right now is cross our fingers and in your case 'hooves' and hope everything will turn out okay in the end."
I frowned. "It's bad enough that whore, slut and tramp Lexi raped Jude and he won't let us do anything about it and now this!"
I started to cry because of being filled with grief. "Why did it have to happen to Jude? Anyone but Jude, but no, it happened to Jude."
"Yeah I know," said Oliver. "But just like you told me, you can't control everything that happens. Unfortunately, this happened to Jude and there's nothing we can do to change it. Just like there's nothing I can do to change what happened between you and Code Silas."
I sighed. "I know. The good thing that brings me comfort about that is Jude told me that once a Code does its job, it gets killed. So that works for me!"
Oliver looked surprised by this information, "I didn't know that would happen! Why would the Machine kill its own workers?"
I shrugged. "I have no idea. But hey, either way that still works for me."
I went back to pacing back and forth when Oliver grabbed me and pulled me into his arms. "It's going to be fine Rainbow. Don't worry, Eli knows what he's doing okay?"
I nodded. "I know that Oliver, I'm just worried that's all. I just want this to be over and done with. The sooner this is finished, the better. After this, I'm sending Jude to a good therapist and hopefully that will help him get past this. That's what he needs right now, especially with those awful flashbacks he has. At least he's not Sleep Teleporting as much lately."
"Yeah that's a good thing too, but it's also good that Eli can sense where Jude has gone when he does that," Oliver said. "It's also a good thing that Jude's found another sex partner with Michael. Not to mention everyone in the castle is keeping a watchful eye on Jude now."
I snorted. "You know who Michael is right?"
Oliver smiled. "Yeah I know, you told me. He's Princess Celestia. I wonder if she's ever going to tell Eli about that?"
I shook my head. "Nope. That was the plan all along. She told Jude about it and Jude isn't telling Eli about it either. Now that Ivy can hear Jude's thoughts, he's sworn her to keep this a secret. So she's not telling Eli about it either."
Oliver snorted. "Wow."
"Yeah, no kidding!" I said, "Even so, I just can't stop worrying about Jude. He's my son and I want him to keep living. I want him to be happy too."
Oliver nodded. "I completely understand Rainbow. Now that Jude is my son, I want that for him too."
I nodded, even though I felt comforted because of Oliver holding me in his arms, I was still worried about what was going to happen on Monday.

Finally, Monday came around. I found myself not wanting to eat, sleep or do anything but pace back and forth being frantic about when the whole exorcist thing was going to happen. I would look out the window every so often and see how low the sun was getting. Celestia was transformed into Michael like she always is nowadays. She was sitting on the bed frowning at me. "Jude please calm down, you're making me nervous!"
"Sorry Michael, I can't help it!" I said, "Something big is going down regarding me and I don't-"
I paused when I heard Eli's thoughts coming from down the hallway. Oh boy, this is not going to be easy! Jude can hear my thoughts and that doesn't help matters! He's not going to be happy about this, but it's the only way. We have to get that monster Logan out of him. I know he doesn't believe what's going on at the moment. Not going to be easy at all. Oh good, there's Ivy.
Then I heard Ivy's thought's joining his, I can hear your thoughts Jude. I can tell you're panicked. Don't worry everything's going to be fine. Either way, it's happening whether you like it or not. Oh and we slipped something in your orange juice this morning so you can't teleport away from us today.
Seriously? I thought. If you ask me, you guys have lost your damn minds!
I know you think that Jude, but we want what's best for you okay? Please don't make this any harder than it has to be, Ivy thought.
"NO!" I shrieked.
"Let me guess, they're coming down the hallway aren't they?" Celestia said.
I nodded. "Yup and they've lost their damn minds!"
Celestia gulped, "Oh boy!"
"Fucking oh boy is right!" I snapped. "NO!"
I heard Ivy and Eli groan, "For the love of Equestria, we're not crazy!"
"Yeah, keep telling yourselves that, and A FUCKING HELL NO!" I shouted.
Celestia sighed, "I'm sorry Jude, but I'm taking their side on this one."
"Seriously?" I said.
"Yes, seriously," Celestia said.
At this moment, I was scared out of my mind. I was so scared there was no way I would've been able to go on a demon rampage even if I wanted to. My heart started racing as I looked for a way to get out of this. I thought about jumping out the window, but then I thought about how stupid that is.
I gulped when Ivy and Eli entered the room. Celestia had gotten dressed by that time and everyone pretty much surrounded me on all sides.
"Sssh Jude," said Eli. "It's okay."
"NO IT'S NOT OKAY AND YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!" I shouted.
Then I felt it, their magic. I knew that it was the sleeping spell that was being cast on me. I couldn't break out if. There's no way I could with three people casting the spell on me at the same time. I couldn't stop thinking about how crazy everything that was happening was. I kept thinking about that, right up until the very moment I fell asleep.

When Jude finally fell asleep, I picked him up in my arms and carried him to the room where the exorcist was going to happen. Once Ivy helped me tie Jude down to the altar, it started glowing. Which it only does that if the one tied down to it is being possessed.
"Yup, that's exactly what I thought," I said. "Now that Jude is connected to the altar through his magic, we no longer need to have him tied down because he can't escape now."
Ivy nodded and we untied Jude. Jude's eyes shot open after he was tied down. I could tell by the look on his face how scared he was. I sympathize with him because I've seen it happen plenty of times. A lot of times those that are possessed, are scared because they have no idea what is going on. They don't know where they are because the magic leaves them confused and disoriented.
Jude started to scream, "No let me out of here! Eli let me go!"
I bit the inside of my cheek to keep myself as calm as I possibly could. I refused to let myself answer Jude's plea for help this time. Noah put a hand on my shoulder and nodded. "It's okay Eli. Once this is over with, things will get much better. I know it's hard right now, but this has to be done and I brought some things with me to help contain Logan once he's out of Jude."
I looked with curiosity when Noah took out of his pocket a brown leather bag. When he opened it, he brought out several crystals, all of them were small. He took out a giant six inch black crystal.
"Okay, what's that for?" I asked.
"It's called an Extraction Crystal," explained Noah. "It pretty much puts whatever god that's possessing someone on lockdown or in limbo so to speak. Then it's easier to deal with them by bringing them to Odar because he's the King of the Gods at the Tree of Wisdom."
"Wow," I said.
Noah nodded. "Uh-huh, so how do we begin?"
I took out the book that Princess Luna gave to me for things like this. I sighed as I continued to hear Jude begging for help, "It starts with this…"
With that I started the chant that would activate the magic from the altar that would finally get that monster Logan out of Jude.
