Exorcising Demons.

Angel looked after the family while I set the binding powder stronger then I had before we had left to go get the Priest who was no longer with us. I had created a threshold based on my readings before we had left, to insure that the Ethros guised as their son, or within their son, couldn't manipulate them into coming to them in pain, as a clever ( Read more... )

Angel and Wes are back, and I didn't know what to do. I stood there with the box in my hand waiting for them to come into the office. Mr. I Wish To Remain Nameless left without saying two words to me. You think I would have gotten a name. Apparently, that was too much to ask for. He says he knew Angel. I wasn't sure if I should mention it to him, though. Maybe, Angel wouldn't notice.

My thoughts were interrupted when Angel and Wes walked into the office. "Where's the priest?" I gave them a confused look. I followed them down to Angel's apartment. "Guys, what's going on? Did we get the priest or not? There's not much time. We have to get this done, like now." I handed over the box to Wesley. "Don't tell me he's going to do this by himself, Angel." I looked at him with concern ( ... )

"Don't tell me he's going to do this by himself, Angel."

I looked at the box that Wesley was holding and immediately, we both knew that it wasn't the Ethros box that we had seen in the book. It was sort of close, but we didn't have time to waste, and what she said was true, I couldn't hold a cross, so Wesley was going to have to do the ritual.

"Oh, yeah this isn't an Ethros box. It's a Methos box, or something like that. The guy said this box should work, anyway."Cordy was reassuring the family, but she did it in her cavalier and tactless way, and it couldn't offer them any comfort, but she had a right to do it that way, because this was no time to be comforted. This wasn't going to be easy, might not work and had me on edge. I stood outside of the door, because Wes was in real danger here, just like Doyle had been with the Scourge, and I hadn't been able to protect him from them ( ... )

Any fear that resided on my face left when I opened the door. I couldn't have it appear that i feared this demon. The Ethros had to know that I would eat him alive if he tried to get to me and that nothing he could say would ever prevent me from using the holy spirit to exorcise him from the boy.

Angel closed the door behind me and with the cross in one hand and the holy book in the other, I cleared my mind, making it so that the relatively empathic Ethros had no prayer of getting to me and exposing weakness so that he could make me back away or resist making him corporeal, so that we could trap him in that box, that hopefully worked.

I opened the book, and read the first transcritption, getting to the demon, and from a boy, and then into a boy mixed with the demon, came a guttural voice.

"Did you run far enough. You can't go home and you can't stay here."He laughed and I adjusted my glasses and tried to block him, fearing that invariably, he was already in my head. He was talking about leaving my father and he was talking about ( ... )
