Dark Exorcism Page #5

---

She let us in, when she

was by the roadside,

bleeding to death,

drifting into darkness.

It didn't take much.

When confronted with

darkness, you will question,

argue and barter.

Consequence be damned.

So we made her an offer.

We would restore her, as long as

we were allowed to hitch a ride.

So now here we are.

So you tricked her, then.

No, she let us in willingly!

Why is it you all

are so unwilling

to admit your flaws

and weaknesses?

Sins, carry them around like you're full

of fear, or lies that you tell everyone.

Tell yourselves.

He touched me.

I never told anyone,

but it's true.

He touched me in...

Bad ways.

Bethany.

My protector.

He came in at night,

and he held me down.

And he did things.

Your father?

What did he do to you?

He f***ed her!

So, that's all.

There's not an inch

that he didn't lick.

Not a crevasse that he didn't.

The old b*tch upstairs

knew all about it.

She pretended to be

asleep every night.

She just denied it.

And she blamed her own child.

She blamed her own child!

How do I know you're

telling the truth?

Because you know it.

Do I?

You could very

easily be lying, or

manipulating half-truths.

We have no reason to lie.

The truth cuts deeper.

We know all secrets.

Even yours, Veronica.

You're ripe with fear and doubt.

It shouts to us.

Sings choruses.

You don't want the

child you're bearing.

Useless, incon...

Do you hate it?

Or are you just afraid?

Incapable of loving it like

your mother wasn't loving you.

You don't know anything.

Maybe.

She's in hell, you know.

Your mother.

She's in hell.

With us.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

She slit her wrists, didn't she?

Foolish b*tch.

And now she burns.

Now she suffers.

Please, please, I'm

in so much pain,

please Veronica, please!

She cries in the darkness.

Agonizing daily as

we torment her.

As we tear the flesh hungrily

from her bones, gnawing.

My, my, my.

What have we done now now now.

All those years, wasted, trying

to save her through others

though you know you never can.

She'll always be in that tub,

bleeding out, trying to

escape this world, and you.

It was too much for her.

All over you.

You don't know anything

about me or my family.

We know everything.

Why you cannot attach

yourself to this small being.

You fear the darkness

in her rests in you.

Some day it will be

too much for you too.

You'll give up, lose your desire to live

and you'll end up alone in the darkness.

Alone, with us.

Like her.

You're sick.

You are sick and

you're full of sh*t!

Do you miss me, Veronica?

We all do.

Bethany.

Don't fight it, we will help

you through lack of faith.

Let us show you, let

us in, let us in.

Let us in!

She is ours, we will

never let her go!

Rotten curse on your womb!

Are you okay?

What?

What?

I'm sorry.

I have to go.

You have to, but, but.

Wait, she's gonna be

alright, isn't she?

You can do something

to help her, yeah?

Please!

Veronica,

you saw it now, didn't you?

I know what it's like when the

darkness looks back into us.

Given years hoping

it was in my head.

But it's back.

And I can't watch this

again, not without fighting.

And we can stop it this time.

I can't.

I'm sorry, I just...

Veronica, wait!

Veronica.

Are you ready to come

play with us again?

We've been waiting a long time

for you to come

and play with us.

You're not in this room.

We had ever so much

fun last time.

I'm not going to let

you do this again.

We can wait as long as it takes.

Forever, if need be.

And it'll still be us, and you.

In the dark together.

We have so many things planned.

No more.

I'm going to stop you this time.

Do you hear me?

I'm going to stop you.

We've been waiting for

you, little sheep.

We've been waiting

for you, Veronica.

Waiting for your child.

We all are, and you'll

never get away.

Please, please,

please don't hang up.

Please don't hang up.

Thanks for meeting me.

Hey, no problem.

You sounded pretty

wrecked on the phone.

I'm just starting to think

this isn't about our fight.

Or us at all.

What's going on?

I don't know...

I think...

I feel like I'm

losing my mind.

I'm sorry, I don't

know why I'm doing this.

I, you know me right.

You know I always try

to be, rational.

And understanding, and...

These last few days I

have seen and felt things

that I don't know

how to explain.

With the professor?

I'm not crazy, right?

I'm not my Mom?

I know it's real, and

I know it's true.

Of course, of course.

Hey, hey, I'm here.

I'm here now, okay?

You can tell me what it is.

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

How long have you known?

I don't know, maybe a week.

I guess I knew before that but

I just confirmed it, so...

Do you know what you

want to do, or...

I don't want to hurt you.

You can't.

You won't.

You're not alone, you know?

We can work this out together.

Whatever you decide,

I'm with you.

I'm with you.

Sh*t.

I have shoots with

clients in 40 minutes.

I'll cancel it.

That's fine, you should go.

No, this is important.

No, it's fine.

Buckley, you should go.

You sure?

We can talk about this.

Okay?

We want you now, cheff.

You'll never get away.

You're ours, you're ours!

Veronica?

Are you there?

Yes.

You know what it really is.

What we're dealing with?

It's evil.

True evil.

Yes.

Do you know now you

can't just walk away?

Veronica?

Yes.

How do we stop it?

This is all I could find.

It'll work, thanks.

In ancient times, salt was used

to consecrate, and ward off evil.

We can hopefully

contain it long enough

to complete the ritual.

Jacob's exorcist left

this to me when he died.

It's very old, very special.

Talisman meant to bind

and banish a demon

back into the pit.

Its elements are rare.

And it's blessed.

But understand, our combined

faith and strength alone

is going to defeat this entity.

Without that, we have nothing.

Now whatever you hear,

whatever happens,

I need you to remain upstairs.

Once we start, we can't

stop until it's finished.

It'll become more reckless,

defensive, and violent.

Stop at nothing to remain here.

Faith.

Wait.

I have something I

want to show you both.

My sunshine.

I was so scared

when she was born.

Loving something that much.

Beyond even yourself.

I failed her.

I've made mistakes in my life.

Maybe this is punishment.

I don't know if I deserve

forgiveness, but my baby's innocent.

Whatever's in that basement, it

thinks that it can break me.

Take the love I have for her.

It has no idea how strong a bond

between a mother and her child.

It has no idea.

Now, you go down there, and you

bring me back my little girl.

You save her.

I need to know you're

gonna be okay down there.

I am scared.

Me too.

But it's the only time

we ever get to be brave.

Here we are now.

Entertain us.

That smell!

Sulfur, ignore it.

You're not going to win.

By the powers, principalities,

thrones and dominions,

I bind you.

By the powers, principalities,
