[Kyle follows Peter into the kitchen, concern growing as he watches the other boy paw frantically through cupboards. He's about to say something when Peter's body convulses and the salt falls to the floor, the container shattering like a bomb.
He barely sees Peter retreat. He turns, feeling slow and stupid, to see what was until a moment ago his friend crouched and seething. It is blatantly obvious to even someone as unfamiliar with such things as Kyle that this is no longer Peter. Logically, that means it has to be the thing which lives inside of him.
A demon.
Kyle's tongue seems glued to the top of his mouth, his hands suddenly far away and cold. He forces himself to swallow, eyes glued to the thing on the opposite wall.]
Don't.
[Kyle slowly raises his hands.]
I'm only here to help Peter. Whoever you are, know I'm not here to hurt Peter. Just... calm down.
[He is woefully unprepared for a confrontation, but as a lifelong nerd the one thing he's always been good at is memorization. He doubted it would be enough to expel whatever spirit was inside of Peter, but if he was lucky he could at least keep himself from getting his ass kicked by an angry demon.
Kyle takes a deep breath. When he next speaks he uses the same sort of voice he has for presentations and debate competitions, calm and authoritative.]
By the names ADONAI, EL, ELOHIM, ELOHI, EHYEH, ASHER EHYEH, ZABAOTH, ELION, IAH, TETRAGRAMMATON, SHADDAI, I do exorcise thee and do powerfully command thee, O thou Spirit! Calm. The fuck. DOWN.
