I opened my eyes to the harsh sun light that streamed into the bedroom, groaning I threw my arm over my eyes in a hope to defend myself. Every part of my body seemed to ache, my mind was boggled and throat was as dry as the Sahara desert.

"Jeeze.." I whispered sitting up slowly as a pain surfaced in my head.

"Where did you go last night?" A voice spoke making me cock my head to the chain in the corner of the room.

"The sun.." I moaned trying to avoid it.

Hearing a sigh and footsteps the sunlight died out instantly making me drop my hands to see Zak stood at the foot of the bed. "I'll ask you again. Where did you go?"

Frowning I looked down at myself and shook my head "I- I can't remember." Looking up at him quickly hoping he would shed some light on the night but I was only met with anger.

"Damn it Y/N!"

I grabbed my ears trying to sensitise them from his voice. "Don't.." I whispered.

"This has to stop! I'm serious! I found you last night on the doorstep. On the fucking doorstep rambling! The security guard.. Yeah he rang me concerned about you but couldn't leave his post! What the hell is wrong with you?!"

I shook my head with my eyes closed "I- I can't remember anything."

"Because you were drinking?! Did you take something?!"

"NO!" I snapped. "I know for a fact that I did not take any drugs!"

"Then tell me what happened?!"

"I can't remember! Please! I'm sorry but its all gone! E-Everything is gone!" I cried pulling my hair in frustration.

He moved towards me and pulled me into a hug as I broke down on his shoulder "Shh...."

"I- I can't remember. I can't remember. I'm going mad. I can't remember."

"Y/N.. Shh I got you. I'm sorry for shouting at y-" Zak pulled away from me and looked at my clothes.

"I look awful." I whispered in my sleep shirt, I had no idea how I even got it on... He shook his head and pulled the sleeve of my top up against his nose before frowning.

"You smell... Different." He said looking at me.

"Bad? I'm sorry I will shower."

"No.. Well it is a bad smell cause I'm used to your perfume. Like rotten eggs.. Where on earth were you.."

I nodded understanding what he meant and slipped out of bed. I needed to clean my body, heavens knows what I got up to last night. That enough is scary.

'I'm coming.'

"I'm only going for a shower. You can wait for me if you want?" I suggested as Zak looked up from his phone.

"Okay I will."

I nodded again.

'He's mine... All mine.'

"Who is?" I asked turning to look at him.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Nothing.." I shook my head and turned to go into the bathroom.

'Kill him.'

I paused and looked at Zak who laid down on the bed. The hell is going on?

I entered the bathroom and closed the door, maybe I drank something seriously strong last night. I mean... That's the only explanation I have right now. All these voices are just my imagination. Turning the shower on I stepped away and held the basin counter taking deep breathes.

If I was hung over then I needed to be sick.. It never took a lot. Just the thought of some horrible food and I was homeward bound.

Rocking on my feet I looked up at my reflection when another face appeared on mine, I gasped and went to shout for Zak when the reflection pressed her finger against her lip signalling for me to be quiet. I needed to learn more so I decided to taking in her appearance, the clothes were older. Her hair was up and skin looked pale. The face smiled at me before disappearing again.

I came back into the room alone as I struggled to see straight. Great... Now I'm hallucinating.

'Make him yours. Kill him. Feed off him. Tear his heart out and eat it!'

"Shut up.." I whispered closing my eyes "Zak told me about you and this time I won't be a victim of your rubbish."

'Here I come Y/N'

"Y-You stay away from me!"

"Y/N? Are you okay?" Zak called from the other room.

The figure appeared in the mirror again, her hand reached for my face causing me to jolt back.

"No. No leave me alone."

"Y/N open the door sweetie." He spoke making me look at the door.

'Last night. You were so responsive.' She giggled.

"It was you, last night..." I whispered. Before I could make a dash for the door she dived into my body. I hit the floor gasping at the air around me as something else settled inside of me.....

------

I opened the bathroom door and stepped out into the bedroom seeing Zak still on the bed I smiled.

Perfect..

"What did you forget?" He asked looking up from his phone.

I walked over to him slowly as he placed his phone down looking from my feet up to my eyes hungrily. "Hey baby.. Did you miss me?" I asked wrapping my hand around his chin I kissed him causing a groan to leave his body in satisfaction.

"Miss you? You haven't been gone that long."

"Oh I have... more than you realise." I smirked pushing him back on the bed and straddling his waist.

"Y/n? What do you mean?" He whispered as I kissed his neck and jawline.

"Play with me.." I demanded softly in his ear.

"Y/N. I can smell sulphur."

I began giggling and pinned his hands down to the bed making is eyes snap to wrists in my hands tightly.

"Surprise Zachery.. Miss me?"  I snarled.

His eyes widened looking at me "N-No.. You were exorcized from my home. It's impossible." He breathed.

"Oh is it? Ask yourself.. Is it really impossible to exorcize something that's already inhabited something else? Y/n is the perfect vessel. Clumsy but useful."

"Get the fuck up out of her." He growled pulling on his wrists.

"Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. You're in no position to demand anything, let's not forget where you are and where I am right now."

"D-Don't hurt her." He begged looking up at me.

"Oh dear.. Do you have a soft spot in that heart for her Zachery?"

His silence made me cackle "Love is for fools! Someone like you doesn't get a chance at happiness!"

"W-why? I- Please just leave. There is nothing here for you now. Your... Your things aren't in my home anymore."

"I know.. But they are in that museum of yours and believe me. There is plenty for me here..."

"You can't harm me.. That's why you chose her isn't it?" He asked.

I nodded "There is more than one way to hurt a man... She is your weakness. That and that mutt of yours."

The mention of Gracie had him thrashing around on the bed pulling at his wrists. I let him go as he got up and grabbed my throat.

"You don't have the stones... You wouldn't do shit because you think that pathetic excuse of a human is still in here."  I tapped my chest.

"She is in there and you! You are coming out. Kicking or fucking screaming." He snarled.

"Ohh! How exciting. Don't damage my merchandise though sweetie. Y/n might not be so forgiving with a crushed windpipe."

He let go and growled kicking the bed "I'm gonna send your ass back to hell."

"Oh baby. You know what they say about foreplay? Foreplay means more play."  I winked before giggling.

"What do you want?! Name it?!"

"I'm only here to collect what is mine."

"And that is?!"

"Your soul.. Did you think Bobby Mackey's was a free ride? Tsk.. You're as stupid as you look."

"Fuck you! You destroyed everything for me! For Aaron!"

"Aaron was... Collateral damage shall we say. Unnecessary but fun."

"You're sick."

"Maybe.. But in that heart and soul of yours you seek this.. This is what gets you up in the mornings. You're as sick as I am. I'm just being honest with myself."

"My soul. That's what you want and then you'll leave? You'll leave her alone."

" Just look at me as a debt collector."

"O-Okay.. But I want one last drink."

"Goodie. Lead the way."

I got off the bed and followed Zak through his house as he looked at it all one last time. I watched him pet his dog before putting her into the garden. "You leave Y/n and Gracie alone. This is between you and me. Right?"

I nodded and sat at his kitchen island.

"You mind if I don't offer you one?"

"Such the host."  I responded making him shake his head.

I looked around his house impressed at what his little habit of seeking answers has got him. I could sleep here in a pinch.

"There." He pushed a small glass with clear liquid in. "Vodka. That's all I have."

I lifted my glass as he snatched his up with a shaky hand.

"Bottoms up."

-----------------

Zak pov

I watched Y/N knock back the drink, before I set my glass down watching her brows furrow together.

 "What's up? Having problems?" I asked when she clutched her chest in pain.

"What have you done?!"  She shouted.

"Oh dang..  I gave you the one with holy water in... Shit."

"BASTARD!"

"You come in my house and fuck with me! You fuck with my girl!" 

Y/n lunged for me, but I caught her quickly and pinned her to the ground. "You're weakened. And Look what I packed in my going to hell bag!" I pulled out a small vial of blessed oil.

She hissed and snapped  at me as I popped the lid and collected some oil "Time for an exorcism you bitch." I snarled.

I drew a cross on her forehead as she screamed in pain arching up her back. I began reciting the words making her struggle, her wrist slipped from my grip. She threw a punch which I blocked and pinned back down against the floor.

"GET OFF ME! I WILL KILL HER FUCKING SOUL!"

I kept going knowing she would say and do anything to make me stop. Keeping on the right verse I blocked out her screams and cries for me to stop. Even the begging as Y/n came through asking me to stop and let her leave freely.

I shook my head as I stayed on the right line. I could feel her body weakening under mine as I got to the end of the third verse. Knowing I had to complete it all I kept going until I had finished and her eyes rolled back in her head.

I relaxed my grip tired from having to do it. I pulled out my phone and rang the local bishop asking him to come immediately to bless and cleanse the house as well as Y/N. I got off Y/n and fell back into the cupboard taking a breath.

After 10 minutes I heard her gasp for air as she panicked.

"Zak?" She called out, I shuffled across closer to her.

"Za-"

"It's okay. It's over. I got you." I whispered as she sat up hugging me, I hugged her tightly as she began to cry into my shoulder.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry I couldn't stop it!"

"Shh... I got you. Nothing is going to take over again. She took over last night didn't she?" I asked.

"I don't know."

"I think she did, that's why I could smell sulphur. She's gone now. It's just us.." I reassured her looking around the house.

I pulled out my long chain and placed it around her neck as well as mine. I wasn't taking the a chance until the bishop got here...
