[edit] Plot
The story takes place at St. Mark's, a Catholic boarding school for girls. One day, a young student, Elizabeth, is studying in a classroom on the third floor, when without warning, she is attacked by unseen evil forces. One of St. Mark's priests, Father Drake, attempts to save Elizabeth from the apparently demonic aggressor, but he quickly proves to be powerless against it and the girl vanishes without a trace. The school is immediately shut down and all of the students are removed from campus by worried families. Five years later, the school reopens. A harsh headmistress, Miss Pearce (Amy Lalonde), rules the girls with an iron hand; Father Drake remains at the school as a teacher. Five troubled and unwanted girls are left by their families at the school: Alex (Jennifer Miller), Mara (Jordan Madley), Cecilia - who is blind (Terrad Vnesa), Leah (Barbara Mamabolo), and Connie (Tasha May Currie). The girls are strictly forbidden to go to the third floor (the site of Elizabeth's disappearance). Alex begins to have visions of Elizabeth being possessed by a demon and other strange things begin to happen, revealing that all five of the girls possess supernatural gifts. Eventually, the girls must use their new gifts to battle the demon Legion.

She is the first to be possessed, developing bruises on her neck and back, which are followed by deep slashes in her back. She begins to go insane over the pain and while in the bath, her arm veins start to appear black and she gets out and attempts to drown Leah several times, before vomiting black blood into the water. She then falls back and collapses, finally dying as her soul is pushed out and collected by Legion.

She begins to develop strange eating habits and dresses provocatively. She attempts to seduce Father Drake, kills him and then dies after her soul has been pushed out and collected by Legion.

She makes a deal with the demon to give him the souls of five powerful girls (the five girls at her school) in order to get her sister back. Pierce torments the girls and is very strict.
