Jenny was pretty much at a loss for words upon hearing the word possessed. It wasn't something to be tossed around lightly, and although she thought it sounded ludicrous, she didn't think that Ella would lie to her. Just the look on her sister's face showed that it wasn't a lie. Whether it was true or not, Jenny knew that Ella believed what she was telling her.
That was enough for Jenny.
"Possessed by what?" she managed, knowing her own eyes were welling up with tears now. She turned her face again, pressing it into Ella's shoulder, and willing herself not to cry. Was this why everyone was acting so strange? Why her mother was going so mental? Why Ella had been avoiding her? Better question, why had no one told her sooner?
"What's wrong with me?" Jenny murmured, putting herself over the edge with that, one muffled sob escaping against Ella's shoulder.
