Disclaimation: I do not own the Outsiders.

Just a lil idea that popped into my head. I want to make this actually scary so if I need to fix it, just tell me.

The whole gang was gathered around Ponyboy, who was strapped to a chair. A priest was standing in front of him, saying the "our Father" prayer and sprinkling Holy Water on him. As this was happening, he was squirming and convulsing in the chair. A voice that was not his said, "Get away! I wont leave!" repeatedly. The priest continued reciting prayers and blessings and sprinkling Holy water on him.

"Tell me what your name is!" Father Hidalgo said, pressing a crucifix against his forehead. Ponyboy screamed and his body twisted in an unnatural way. Two-bit and Johnny backed up a few paces, each clutching the crucifix around their necks for dear life.

Ponyboy continued screaming and thrashing. Suddenly, a loud snap was heard and he flashed a crazed smile. The belt binding him to the chair had snapped and he slowly rose to his feet.

He lunged at Father Hidalgo, wrapping his unsually fragil fingers around his neck. He squeezed his neck and Father Hidalgo pushed the crucifix onto Ponyboy's head again.

Dally and Darry and Soda and Steve all had to hold Ponyboy down so Father Hidalgocould continue. When he started trying to kick everyone, Johnny and Two-bit held down his legs, each having to put all their weight into trying not to let him kick Father Hidalgo.

"Tell me your name!" Father Hidalgo said once more.

"JACOB!" The voice said.

"Jacob, I command you to leave this boy at once!" he said, then recited the "Hell Mary" prayer.

Ponyboy growled like an angry lion, "Never!"

"I command you to leave this boy in the name of the Holy Lord, God!"

At this, Ponyboy screamed like a banshee and cursed in Latin.

"Leave this boy now!"

This continued for a few hours. Father Hidalgo was sweating furiously and the six boys trying to restrain Ponyboy were struggling. They were perplexed by how strong this usually frail boy had become.

Suddenly, Ponyboy's left leg was freed of Johnny's grasp and kicked Two-bit in the face, nearly breaking his nose. Two-bit cried out and clutched the area around his nose, which was bleeding rapidly. When Johnny tried to hold down is legs, Ponyboy broke free and kicked Johnny square in the chest, sending him reeling back.

"Ponyboy, can you hear me?" Sodapop called, looking into his once green-gray eyes, "Please, Pony, you have to fight! We believe in you, Pony! We know you can do this!"

"C'mon, Pony! We need you!" Darry said, also looking into Ponyboy's eyes.

"C'mon, kid." Dally muttered.

"Yeah, Pony, you gotta fight." Johnny uttered, the force of the kick knocking most of the air from him.

"C'mon, kid, you're stronger than this thing!" Two-bit said, still clutching his nose.

"Yeah, Pony." Steve said.

"Go back to hell, demon!" Father Hidalgo yelled, pushing the crucifix against Ponyboy's forehead. With one final cry, Ponyboy's body went limp.

"Pony?" Sodapop said gently, shaking his brother's limp body.

Ponyboy's eyes shot open and, instead of being blue, were greenish-gray again. He took a deep breath and continued doing so for a few minutes. When he was done, Sodapop looked at him, "Pony, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I feel a lot better." He said, smiling. He was pale and sweating furiously. For good measures, Father Hidalgo sprinkled Holy Water on him. When there was no reaction, Sodapop let out the breath he'd been holding. Him and Darry wrapped Ponyboy up in a hug, "It's good to have you back, little buddy." Darry said.

"Yeah, now my nose isn't in danger anymore." Two-bit said, getting an elbow in his ribs rom Steve.

How was that? I was originally going to have Johnny possesed, but I thought it would be more ramatic if it was Ponyboy. Tell me what you think. :D
