Priestly had a sense for demons, whereas Mars did not. In fact, whenever he thought that someone was a demon, he turned and ran the other way. Now that he was with Priestly, however, he did not have that luxury. He was terrified of the things, more than anything else. When he had encountered the demon in the basement, he had tried to run, an that cowardice had caused this all.
Perhaps, that was why Mars was now trapped inside of his own mind, nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide. The demon pressed inside of his head, filling every part of his mind. He could feel it dig through his memories, his thoughts, his feelings.
"He says he wants you to kill him," the demon spoke with Mars's voice, in a way that sounded entirely nothing like Mars. "He wants you to stab him, right in the fucking heart."
He dig Mars's nails into his chest, until blood stained his white dress shirt.
"You know you cannot exorcise me," said the demon, and Mars watched the way he looked at Priestly, and it made him sick. "You have me trapped in this room, inside this boy's body, and if you exorcise me, I will simply go back inside of him. You can't kill him, either. And you can't open the door to this room, because then, I will also escape. There is no way for you to win, priest. How long have you even known him for, anyhow?
"You must not know about the way he feels," said the demon, and Mars felt his heart drop. The demon was going to tell Priestly everything. He wanted to die. "Ooh, now the boy wants to die, again. Will you kill him? Kill me?"
