Happy Halloween! Okay, it's a day early but I won't have time to put this up here tomorrow. So, enjoy this early Halloween treat! I must warn you it contains Pazuzu's infamous puking scene. If you do not have a strong stomach, I suggest you skip that part. Enjoy!


I examined myself in the mirror one last time before smiling in satisfaction. The black robe I bought fit perfectly even though it was a little big for me. Ironically, it's a priest's robe. Yes, the long black robe that goes almost to your ankles and has a little white square on the collar. That type of robe. How weird that this was the only one I could find at the store. It'll do, I guess. Although, we both decided not to tear it up just so that I can appear as a possessed priest.

"I actually possessed a priest once," Pazuzu had told me, "He was losing his faith though."

Under my robe I wore my school uniform. It would put me completely in character if I wore my uniform with it. I have some weird obsession with making my costumes look realistic. The only thing I didn't add to it was a rosary or crucifix. I'm afraid Pazuzu will lash out at me for putting one on me. So, to save myself from him getting mad, I just decided the rosary would be a little much.

"What do you think, Pazuzu?" I asked in to the mirror. He chuckled at me and said, "It's perfect."

"I think you should take control once I'm out of the house. You know, so that bitch won't get onto me about the 'face paint.'"

"It would save time in explaining shit." I walked out of the bathroom and descended the stairs to the living room. My dad saw me and started laughing.

"What are you suppose to be?" he asked.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm a priest."

"Why did you dress as a priest this year?"

"Because the kids at the party might get uncomfortable seeing the form of a priest there." He continued to laugh as he walked into the living room. Vickie looked over from the couch and just shook her head.

"Stupid bitch," Pazuzu whispered.

"I'll be back in a couple of hours," I told them.

"Okay," Dad said, "Don't be out too late."

"I won't." I exited the house and began to lose feeling in my entire body. My body moved on its own once more to show that Pazuzu was now in control. We already discussed where the party was and he followed the directions I showed him a few days ago.

We make it to the party to see teenagers everywhere dancing or socializing. Several girls were dressed in provocative clothing that would've gotten them beaten with a ruler if they ever wore them to school. A few guys were dressed in masks or face paint to disguise their identities from everyone else. Some people looked scary, others in common costumes. All in all, it was a regular teen costume party on Halloween.

Pazuzu walked around for a bit, receiving weird stares from my classmates who saw the costume. Again, people whispered in our presence but they weren't easily heard because of the loud music. Eventually, we found our way to the snack table where he spied a cup of red punch. He took a cup and walked to a wall to lean back on it.

"I wonder if these idiots were stupid enough to put wine or drugs in here," Pazuzu thought aloud.

"Don't drink it," I told him.

"Calm down, I'm not going to drink it. I'm just going to put it in my mouth and taste what's in it." He raised the cup to his lips and sipped some of the red liquid into his mouth. It didn't stay in his mouth for two seconds and he spit it back out.

"Holy fuck! There's holy water in this shit!" That had to burn, I thought to myself as he wiped the remains of the punch on his sleeve.

Just then, four people from my school walked up to him and looked at him weirdly. The two girls looked at the spit up contents of punch on the floor while the two guys stared at him in amusement.

"So, why did you spit up my homemade punch?" one of the girls asked, looking at him as if she were both offended and mad.

"It tastes like shit," Pazuzu stated, now over the burning sensation from the juice.

"We heard you say there was holy water in it," the boy next to her said, "How did you know that?" Being the quick thinker and a deceiver, Pazuzu told them, "I didn't. I just said it to go along with my costume."

"And what are you suppose to be exactly?" the other girl asked, giggling. I could imagine Pazuzu look at her in annoyance as he explained that I'm a possessed priest. The group laughed after that and made comments such as, "That's stupid! Priests can't be possessed!" and "You look so ridiculous!"

"At least I don't look like some stupid slut with her vagina hanging," he said calmly after they stopped.

"Excuse me?" the girls said in unison.

"You have ears, you heard me."

"We heard you, so say it again."

"Oh, you like being called a whore don't you? It turns you on, doesn't it?" The girl that made the punch looked at her friend, who nodded at her. That same girl took her cup and splashed Pazuzu's face with burning holy punch. He resisted the urge to scream in agony as the liquid slid down his face. Even if I had no control of my body, I willed my hands to wipe off the wet streaks from his face. After I got most of it up, Pazuzu got back into control to look at them. They had been laughing the whole time.

"What's your fucking problem?" he said almost too angry. I don't even see why he's angry in the first place. He continued, "What do you have against me?"

"The look suits you, demon!"

"A demon? Really?"

"Yes! You aren't devoted like us, you don't act like a regular Catholic, and you're so weird!" They laughed in his face after explaining their reasoning. He stared at them as they continued to laugh. Then, the girl who threw the punch got close to him and said loudly, "You don't belong here! Go back to where you came from, demon!" She backed up and took out her rosary. She held it in his face while laughing.

"Pazuzu, just ignore them. Let's get out of here and go home."

"Oh, just sit back and watch this," he mumbled to me. He started growling at her as she laughed harder.

"Oh, look! Korey's growling like the monster he is! Whatcha gonna do? Bite me?"

"No. Not even close." His voice came out instead of mine this time. I had no idea what he was about to do but I hoped that it wasn't going to be something bad.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth and a stream of green puke shot out. It landed all over the girl who didn't have time to react to the sudden vomiting. It went all over the front of her costume, face, hair, some even landed into her mouth. She stood there in horror at what had just happened. She gagged in disgust as she saw where all of it landed.

"You- You… FREAK!"

"Shut the fuck up or I'll do it again!" She backed up and murmured about taking a shower before going home. Her friends followed to comfort her, looking over their shoulders to stare at Pazuzu in horror and hatred.

"Korey, we're going home," Pazuzu said and walked out of the house, tossing the cup to the floor.

Later

"That was so awesome! How did you do that?" I asked him once I got into bed to go to sleep, only to have Pazuzu knock me out so we can talk. Another strange power of his in which he can make me fall asleep or unconscious. But by doing this, he can make me see his true form and we can talk like actual people (sort of).

"Oh, it's a little thing I like to do. Not many demons think it's useful but I do it anyways."

"I can't believe how much puke came out. It was incredible."

"It's gonna smell for a few days, which is why I like doing that too." We both laughed about this for a long time. When I stopped, I realized something that I wanted to bring up.

"Hey, Pazuzu?"

"What is it?" he asked, finally calming down from his hysteric laughter. I looked at him very seriously but at the same time calm.

"Why did you get so mad when they did that? I mean it was just mean words. I face it every day." A serious look went over his face as he stared me back in the eyes.

"I don't like it. Those kids calling you a demon."

"Why not? They've been calling me that long before you possessed me."

"I know. But it bothers me."

"How come?" He was silent for a few minutes before he got closer to me.

"I don't want people causing shit because they don't know normal when they see it," he hissed in my face. His voice chilled me. I was paralyzed and had no idea what to say.

"I can't control that. They're going to do it regardless if I'm like this or not."

"That doesn't matter. I don't want to hear them insult you ever again." Before I was about to explain the concept of high school and its drama, I realized something strange.

"Pazuzu… Why do you even care?" He kept staring at me but his expression softened.

Without warning, he pressed me onto my bed and straddled me. He looked down at me while I stared him in the eyes with fear.

"Korey, remember that discussion we had awhile ago?" I nodded up at him, thinking about the whole forbidden relationship between humans and demons.

"Well, I'll give you a huge hint that'll answer your question." He leaned down to my face, his hair brushing up against my face and his face getting closer to mine.

"The reason I was so pissed and I'm easily offended by those brats taunting you has a lot to do with what we talked about." He smirked at me and got closer. Our lips were millimeters away from each other.

"It has so much to do with that," he whispered before he pressed down on my lips.
