To find Mona's killer, Elaine summoned the spirits of her three dead grandmothers who guided her in a quest to summon a small demon to punish whomever killed her friend. When the summoning failed, Elaine, in a moment of frustration tried calling on the devil instead. Her grandmothers' spirits ordered her into silence at once fearing the consequences of such a call.

Eventually, Elaine discovered that Mona's old school principal, Mr. Waddington was the murderer. To cover his tracks, he kidnapped Elaine and tried to murder her too. However, Elaine was able to poison his drink with an overdose of illegal drugs that he had been selling. As he began to drown into death, she slipt into his mind and began to fall uncontrollably until she was caught by the power of a handsome blonde stranger. She realized immediately this man was Lucifer Morningstar.

He told her that he was keeping Mona's principal alive because if he died, he would take Elaine with him. Lucifer admitted that there were circumstances in the future where he required Elaine to remain alive and well. She looked into Waddington's memory and saw that he had mistakenly thought that Mona uncovered that he was secretly selling illegal drugs. This was the reason that he murdered her. Afterward Elaine returned to her body and Lucifer allowed Waddington to die. Elaine was later found by the police who returned her back to her home.

Not long after, Elaine's grandmother spirits began to sense danger coming to consume their grandchild. In trying to protect Elaine, they offered to tell her the reason she could communicate with the dead and see into the minds of other people. Fearing the answer, Elaine refused to know.

A couple of days later, a man came to her parents claiming to Elaine's real father. Elaine's dad through the stanger out and ordering Elaine not to go near him if she saw him again. Elaine went back up to her room to see that her grandmothers' spirits had disappeared. That day in school the stranger reappeared and told her the same thing claiming that she was stolen from her real birth parents. He called himself Mr. Easterman. A couple of police officers working by saw him. Easterman ran off to evade them. After an interview with the police Elaine, went to off to find Mr. Easterman and located him in an alley where an angel claiming to be her brother was beating up and attempting to kill him. He claimed in his stuttering voice that Easterman would try to harm her. She ordered him to leave the man alone and so the angel did.

Easterman told her that he and her mother had concieved a child together until one night a man appeared in by their bed and stole the child from the mother's womb. When they awoke the next morning, it was if they were never pregnant at all. He told Elaine that a blonde well-dressed man visited him in a dream and told him about Elaine being his daughter. She knew at once that it was the devil.
