A/N: sorry this one took so long, I was trying to figure out how to write this without making it too religious or hokey. Hopefully I did okay? Thanks for the love everyone, hope you're enjoying everything! The Wyatts Family Bitch: Ha I get a chant? Awesome ^_^

Tears began to spill across Bray's cheeks as he held her down, all his weight on her throat. "I'm trying baby...it's too strong." He whispered. Tears welled up in her own eyes as her body fought for air, her hands clawing at his arms. A cold hand took one of hers and moved up to Bray's arm. He turned to look at the little old woman who appeared at his side, holding his big forearm with both of her hands. "Bray, fight him. You're the one! You were chosen for this." She faded out as quickly as she appeared but Bray lessened his grip on her.

He sat back on his heels, letting her go. She coughed and sputtered for air as he sat with his face in his hands. He gritted his teeth and cursed at himself, his fist clenching fistfuls of his hair. She scooted back against the headboard gasping in breaths as she pulled her knees tight to her chest. With all her thoughts she called out for something to help them, anyone. God, Marie, anyone. "Break the salt." He growled to her. "Let me outside Evangeline." She hesitated, unsure if it was the demon or Bray speaking to her. "Just trust me, and let me out of this room." He begged. "Follow me." She did as he said and followed him as he strode down the hall, his fists balled at his side. She shushed Luke and Erick as they passed them, motioning for them to stay put.

Bray stumbled through the screen door and down the porch as she followed closely behind. He dragged his feet, apparently the demon did not want to go with him. Evangeline halted as he reached the bank of the river. With deliberate steps he strode into the cold water. He shrieked and cursed himself, pulling at his hair. "Evangeline, I need you baby." He begged. "No I don't!" He growled in response to his own question. "Go back into the house!" Against her better judgement she eased a bare foot into the dark river. She paused momentarily to remove the switchblade from her pocket. She opened it and stuck it into the dirt of the bank before wading slowly into the water. "I need you." He begged. "I don't know if this will work." He held his hand out to her and she took it, fearful that he'd try to harm her again. Fire seemed to flash behind his eyes as he held her hand, guiding her closer. "I'll kill you bitch!" He growled and shook his head, moving away from her in the water for a moment.

"Evangeline I need you. You know what to do." Tears welled up in her eyes. "I don't Bray, I don't! What do I need to do?" He dropped to his knees in front of her, sinking to his waist in the water. "Help me wash away my sins." He screamed again, clawing at his own chest. "No! Get out of the water!" Evangeline swallowed hard, she'd only seen this done once or twice. And never with a demon. Bray clasped his hands in front of him as if in prayer and looked up at her. "Don't let me up until it leaves me. You know when it's in time." He said. "You'll drown him!" The demon cackled. Tears welled up in her ears, fear gripping her chest. "Do it baby. I can't live like this." He begged. "We can live just fine! Isn't this dark side what you like about him?" The demon snarled. She shook her head and put a ha d on Bray's back, the other on his clasped hands. "In the name of the Father! The Son! And the Holy Ghost! Be redeemed!" She commanded and he howled as she shoved him backwards into the water. She cried as she held Bray under, his eyes open in fear as he thrashed. He unclasped his hands, grabbing at handfuls of her tshirt but she didn't bring him to the surface.

She held pressure on his chest, even as he screamed underwater, a dark mist leaving his mouth and breaking the surface, screeching it's way into the sky. He immediately stopped fighting and his body went limp in her arms. Grabbing him by the shoulders she moved to bring him to the surface. She held him with one arm as he floated to the surface, unmoving. "Bray..." She shook him. "Bray?" Panicking she pulled him towards the bank, tripping and falling as she pulled him along. She pulled him ashore and collapsed by him, panting and soaking wet. "Bray!" She rolled him onto his side and his eyes snapped open as he gagged, spitting up river water. He gagged and rolled onto his back, sucking in air as he grabbed her, gripping him tightly to his chest. Neither said anything as they lay on the damp bank clutching each other, drawing in giant gasps of cold night air. A flashlight beam danced in the distance and they heard Erick call out to Luke in the darkness.
