Ava's Possessions Page #4

Do you have a death wish?

Now if I catch you

around here again,

I will snuff out

your little light.

I know how it feels, Ava.

All my friends hate me now too.

Except Eliza,

who I saved from a rapist.

I beat the sh*t out of him

with supernatural strength?

That's f***ing awesome.

Wow.

I don't think mine did

anything heroic like that.

Oh, yeah, and I was

way more effective at PR.

I got a raise,

the clients said

I was more fun to be around.

I mean, eventually I got fired

for ripping

my co-worker's hair out.

But what if you could

control a demon?

You know,

like training an animal,

like how people can learn

to fly in their dreams.

I guess

that would be pretty cool.

Yeah.

Hey, wanna do something crazy?

Look, there's only three

of these stores in New York.

Tony sent my photo

to all of them,

so they won't sell to me.

There's some

black magic website,

but I hate shopping online.

So, all I have to do

is buy this spell for you?

And perform it.

I can't perform my own spell.

What makes you think

I can even do that?

You've been possessed before.

What makes you think

I would do that?

You're my friend.

You do realize

that if we break Tony's rules,

we could get

in a lot of trouble.

Have Tony's rules

helped you at all?

Have you had any results

from his therapy?

- Hello.

- Hi.

I-I'm here to pick up

a demonium invitabo spell.

Mm-hmm. First time?

Yeah.

I should warn you,

it'll change you.

Oh, no, I've been

possessed before.

I meant invocation.

The spell.

Forces like these,

they leave their mark.

The instructions are inside,

all the ingredients for

the potion, the incantation.

Do you need a ceremonial cloak,

or do you have your own?

What's that?

That's just the frog.

It's supposed to be sedated.

You need to sacrifice it.

I have to sacrifice it?

Oh, Jesus.

I just hope there are

no more surprises.

Good luck with that.

Okay. So, almost done.

You just have to

"burn an item

that belonged to the host,"

that's me, "...Since childhood"

and read this...

Aw, I had one of these.

Are you sure you want me to...

Yeah, yeah. It's worth it.

Yeah, and you know,

give it a couple hours,

at least,

before you call the priest...

So we can have a little fun.

Okay.

Here we go:

" Abyssus abyssum invocat-"

saeternum-

Terra es, terram ibis-

ecce quomodo moritur,

hoc sustinate damnosa

hereditas...

Hazel!

Are you okay?

Hazel, is it working?

What have I done?

Oh. Oh, my god,

please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me.

Please don't hurt me, please...

You're... you're really hot,

really hot.

You're really hot.

And... and...

You're...

You're really pretty.

That's the spirit.

Oh!

Oh sh*t!

Oh, my god, what happened?

Jesus,

what the f*** is wrong with her?

I think she wanted

your soda or something.

Psycho b*tch bit my arm.

Or maybe she had rabies.

Where did she go?

She f***ing climbed

that building over there.

Hi, father, it's Ava.

Sorry to call so late,

but a friend of mine,

a girl named Hazel,

might show up on your radar.

She's possessed.

Uh, please call me

if you hear anything.

Hey.

What are you doing here?

You're on our mailing list.

Oh, right.

You forgot this...

Do you wanna come inside?

Do you want to talk about why

you left in such a hurry?

No.

I'll just, um, leave this here.

Do you want me to leave?

No.

What...

What happened to your head?

What's wrong?

I didn't put you here, Alice.

What is wrong with you?

Why won't you talk to me,

I'm your mother.

I have nothing to talk about.

I have to come clean

about something.

What? I, um...

I lied about

where I found the watch.

It was in my apartment.

Conrad was here,

and you do know him.

This is awkward.

What?

My friend's in the hospital.

The church will cover the costs

for any broken equipment.

We have insurance for that.

We're gonna take her

to a residential facility.

Ava, thank you

for coming so quickly.

She's been asking for you

desperately.

They're about to take her away.

Where? Someplace where

she won't be a danger to

herself or anyone else.

You should speak to her,

but... go in alone.

God bless.

I'll be right back.

Hi, Hazel.

Ava, I'm so sorry.

I- I hope you're not in trouble,

but it was so worth it.

I mean, I remember

everything this time.

Like, every little detail.

I jumped off your roof.

You? You mean, Abaddon...

No, it was both of us.

We were one.

I mean, it wasn't a battle.

I wasn't fighting him

and he wasn't controlling me.

I made him stronger,

and he made me stronger,

and it was better

than the best heroin,

the best ecstasy,

better than any dick

I've ever had.

Hazel, I-I don't

need to know that...

Yes, you do.

That's why I wanted to see you,

to tell you,

because you believe me.

Sure demons are dark,

but they're just our shadows.

Like black matter

or like a doughnut hole,

like negative space.

Nothing makes you more complete

than total union

with your shadow.

Tony, I, uh, I really

don't feel ready for this.

Nobody passes the first time.

It's all just part of

the training process.

When you learn how to ski,

you don't expect to make it

down the black diamond trail

the first try, right?

So, this is gonna be

your bunny slope.

I don't ski.

You're gonna be fine.

What, what?

What have you done?

You got a thaumaturgic

mark on your skin.

Right on your neck.

What? Sh*t.

What does it mean?

It means you've appealed

to a left-handed

mode of witchery.

It also means

I can't help you anymore.

Oh, come on, Tony. I'm so close.

These dark powers

that you're just playing with,

once they mark you,

they weaken you.

Any form of magic,

no matter what the intention,

can invite evil inside.

All the progress,

all the work we've done...

It's for nothing.

Wow, once a week.

I don't even know

if any of this is gonna work,

but let's try... Excuse me.

We'll make it... What is this?

Excuse me...

What is this thing on my neck?

You've got these things

all over you.

I told you...

Some spells leave a mark.

I thought you meant

metaphorically.

Like, like visiting

the Grand Canyon

or walking in on your dad naked.

I meant the high cost

that must be paid

for summoning such powers.

But this was just

for a friend though.

You summoned the demon.

You awoke the darkness.

You have the mark.

Excuse me, I'm with someone.

She's crazy. She's crazy.

The judge knows

you were kicked out of group.

I don't see any other choice.

The only alternative is jail.

This is best for you, Ava.

Everyone

who goes into these places

comes out ever crazier.

You were kicked out of demon aa.

It doesn't get much crazier.

It's quiet, it's tranquil...

It's in the Adirondacks.

It's where you should have gone

in the first place,

but he wouldn't listen to me.

J.J. Must have other ideas.

Well, J.J.'S been let go.

What? We didn't like the way

he handled certain things,

so we let him go.

He enabled you

to look up some prostitute,

and you got attacked...
