There are a few aspects of being the Prophesied One Emily hasn’t quite considered

The killers have been caught (and killed). Emily Fisher’s job is over. Oh, there’s the little problem that her servant Tanya thinks she’s subconsciously a demon worshiper.

Find out what it is in “The needs of others,” chapter 39 of Prophecies and Penalties, my weekly serial about a murder on a Vermont religious commune. If you’ve not been reading it before, you can start at the beginning.
