Holly fights evil spirits in her sleep

Last night was interesting.  Holly woke me up last night by talking in her sleep.  This was a first for me.  She sometimes mumbles softly but this was the first time she actually spoke words that woke me up.

"I command you to leave.  In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"

I was instantly awake, my heart pounding.  What added a certain creepiness what that her speech was slowed down, like a 45 record played on 33 rpms.  I wasn't sure if I should wake her or not, so opted instead to put my arm around her.  She fell silent and I drifted off to sleep.

She doesn't remember the dream, and is a bit mortified that it happened.  We can only guess what she was dreaming about.
