Ava's Possessions Page #2

you broke though the cuffs

on the stretcher,

and you chewed

right through my finger.

Specifically?

You shoved your tongue

down my throat

and smashed my head

into the ATM three times.

I'm sorry.

Did I...

Say anything?

Yeah, you did actually.

" Ad miseriam esurio ."

Over and over.

I looked it up

because it was ringing

through my head for days,

driving me crazy.

It's Latin.

It means "for your misery,

I hunger."

Hey Carl, it's me...

Again.

Uh, I guess you're upset at me.

I am so, so sorry...

Hello.

Hey. Hi.

You're there.

Yeah.

Look, please stop calling me.

Wait Carl, I'm better now.

Can we please just meet

and talk about this?

No. I don't,

I don't want to see you anymore.

Look, we broke up.

But...

I-I get that you

don't remember, but it's over.

Ava, honestly, forget about him.

If a demon isn't an excuse

for a little indiscretion,

I don't know what is.

Ooh.

"Say goodbye to split ends."

What if my possession

wasn't an excuse, though.

What if it's bad Karma,

like mom said.

Mom has her own issues.

They have nothing to do

with you.

She just thinks they do.

Hi everybody, my name's Ava.

My uninvited spiritual guest

possessed me for 28 days

and was exorcised on Tuesday.

Tell us its name.

Naphula, the anointed.

In the grand scheme

of the 36 legions of hell,

he's sort of the, uh,

entitled, arrogant rich kid.

He likes to come up

for joyrides in human bodies.

And he carries a drum...

That he beats as he approaches.

Mine was drekavac, the cursed.

He's from the souls

of murdered babies.

My evil spirit's orivus,

he made me eat my dog.

Guys...

Let's let Ava talk, okay?

I found this in my couch,

and I don't know

how it go there.

Oh, that could be

a good place to start.

"To Conrad.

For thirty years

of wedded bliss."

Do you know who this Conrad is?

No.

This is a cheri Cher watch.

There's a store in Soho.

Abaddon, the annihilator

shoplifted from there.

That's my demon's name.

The "d" word, Hazel.

Such a pointless rule.

Hazel!

Don't make this any more

serious than it already is.

Anything else?

There was a...

A little blood on the floor

in my living room.

But I don't know

whose blood it is.

Probably your own.

It could be animal blood.

Did you have any pets?

Louie, haven't we

talked about this?

Barnabas is in

a better place now.

Hey, new girl.

Got the hots for Tony yet?

Mmm, not really my type.

What's going on

between you and him?

He caught me sneaking in there

a couple weeks ago

so I'm on thin ice.

Or whatever.

You broke into the church?

Yeah,

I want that amulet he's got.

The spirit steeper?

But why? Is it worth a lot?

Probably.

I would use it

to get my demon back.

Why would you wanna do that?

There was

a connection between us.

And I think

it was special for him too.

I was the first girl.

Abaddon, the annihilator

had ever been inside of.

In that way.

And he's got this sexy scar

on the side of his cheek

from when an archangel

slashed him.

Anyway, I gotta go.

I'll see you at the next one.

Alright.

You didn't have to help.

Don't you have

a giant wedding to plan?

Oh, uh, we pushed back the date.

Not because of

what happened to you,

we just needed more time.

Look what I got...

To replace

the one grandpa gave me.

It's exactly the same, right?

Oh. It got destroyed?

No, it went missing.

I remember

not being able to find it.

It's one of

the last memories I had...

Before the demon.

Ava?

You okay?

What's wrong?

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Whoa, whoa!

Okay, okay, alright.

I got her, I got her.

Okay.

Let's get her in your bed.

Why are you

acting like this is your fault?

She's not your responsibility.

It's just that

things are different now.

Exactly.

And if we're not careful,

she's going to find out

what happened.

You know, I gotta say,

I'm with mom and dad

on this one.

She's not fit

to take care of herself.

She needs to go away

for a while,

get some proper care.

You need to stop

calling them mom and dad.

I'm part of the family now.

Just... We're not married yet.

Well, we might as well be,

after what I did.

Hey, Ava. How ya feeling?

A little better, thanks.

These came for you

while you were asleep.

Maybe you've got

a secret admirer.

They're from my boss.

A bunch of the bands

I represent signed it.

They want me to come back.

See? Things are gonna

get back to normal in no time.

Where's Hank?

Someone needs to

check on the girls backstage,

I'll be back in a minute.

Ava, no way!

You're looking good.

Thanks.

How's it been going?

It's going good.

Apparently,

you've got a new single.

Duke, we're ready!

Go see.

La, la, la, la, la...

La, la, la, la, la...

Ava, Ava.

Ava.

Jesus, Ava,

I'm-I'm sorry if the song

upset you, but...

You're not really

releasing that, are you?

It's clearly a hit.

It's not funny.

It really happened.

Maybe the lyrics are a metaphor.

Yeah, it's like poetic license.

Shut up, Hank.

He looks like a sex offender

in that outfit.

You know what, little Dukie,

I found you, I signed you,

and I decide what sounds

like a single.

And it's not this.

Maybe it's not time

for you to come back

and start making decisions

just yet.

Thanks for the

get-well-soon card, a**holes.

Hi, I found a cheri Cher watch

I'd like to return to the owner.

There's an inscription on it.

It says, um, "to Conrad."

Thirty years of wedded bliss."

Okay.

Hi, I'm supposed to

meet with Ben.

Ben just stepped in the back

for a moment.

He'll be right out.

Have I been here before?

I don't know.

I'm sorry, um, perhaps you'd

like to join our mailing list.

You sure you don't recognize me?

Should I?

No, no, no.

Not if you don't.

Ava. Yes. Ben?

Thank you for

going through all the trouble

with calling the store

and coming here.

It's a damn good watch.

Where did you find it?

On the street outside

of my building.

So you've never met my father?

Your father?

Conrad.

Oh.

This was a gift

from my mother to him.

She passed away a few years ago.

That's why

the store contacted me.

Well I'd really

like to meet Conrad,

if at all possible.

He's away on business, a lot.

What kind of business?

Art, among other things.

He owns this gallery with me.

I-I-I should really get going.

It was really nice to meet you.

So, what do you do?

Nothing anymore.

I was fired.

Ooh.

Are you a bad girl?

You need to learn to be

a little more cutthroat.

Well, when I was possessed,

I cut some throats.

Snarl.

Stretch out your facial muscles.

Remember, when you

face the dark spirits,

they must also face you.

She is a riot, man.

She is a real riot.

Told you.

No, really.

Ava, please not here.

I was possessed.

You all have a target

on your back, people.

Once you've been possessed,

you are ten times more likely

to be repossessed, revisited.

So let's not make it

easy for 'em, shall we.

More angry. Do not let them

take you over.

It's your body, claim

possession, claim ownership,

claim the right
