Marcus and Tomas have retired and moved into a more suburban lifestyle. They're living peacefully until an old enemy shows up to end their new life for good
Tomas sighed as they turned onto the driveway leading to the home of their next Exorcism. It was the home of a local pastor whose son had started acting strange a few weeks back.
The House was huge. Three stories with atleast three nice cars in the driveway. It always amazed Tomas at how much some of these men of God made. He heard a snort from Marcus and knew he felt the same way.
It had been a week since that night in the motel and the memory of it still made Tomas warm inside. Since they had been on the road the whole time, they didn't get much of a chance to be close again. Though the interlacing of their fingers during the drive as well as the small pecks on the cheek from Marcus when he went into a store to get supplies were enough for Tomas.
He was worried about the man next to him though. When they would stop at rest stops, Marcus would let Tomas have the cab of the truck while he always slept in the bed. He left all but one blanket for Tomas and never took the one pillow they had. He could hear Marcus whimper sometimes in his sleep as though he was having nightmares but he never talked about it and Tomas didn't want to ruin the peace by asking.
Marcus stopped the truck and looked at Tomas, never unlacing his fingers from his. "Ready Tomas?" Marcus asked worriedly. "With you by my side I'm ready for anything" Tomas said smiling. Marcus grinned, kissed Tomas gently on the lips and finally unlaced his fingers causing both men to feel a sense of loneliness.
Marcus opened the truck door and before Tomas could even undo his seatbelt Marcus had his door opened. Tomas smiled as Marcus reached over his lap and undid the seatbelt. Stepping back to the ground, Marcus offered his hand to Tomas. Tomas took it and Marcus lifted him out of the truck and they locked lips again as he set Tomas down.
"Well Tomas, this will be fun" Marcus said and the two men walked to the front door. They would've held hands but Marcus wouldn't let Tomas carry anything and both his hands were busy. With a free finger Marcus rang the doorbell and as they heard footsteps Marcus turned to Tomas and said "I will always be by your side".

Inside Marcus's head
Marcus watched as Henry, Kat and Casey came into the room but Angela wasn't with them. The difference was that Kat and Casey weren't young women they were children. Kat has in a ballerina outfit and Casey looked like she just had a fight with a mud hole. They were all smiling and talking. Henry looked less worried and the girls were just balls of sunshine and energy.
What's this shit" Marcus growled. "This is the Rance family before the pain your existence brought to them. They had no worries and they were a happy family" said Pazuzu with a laugh. Marcus growled. "I never even met the damn Rance's before Casey was possessed. I had nothing to do with the pain this family felt" Marcus said not understanding Pazuzu's game. Again just laughter making Marcus more angry.
