The Book of Rosemary
The first part opens with the coven preparing for a ritual, only to discover that Adrian, who is now eight years old, is missing from his room. Knowing Rosemary must be responsible for this, they use some of her personal possessions to enable the forces of evil to find her. We then see Rosemary and Adrian hiding in a synagogue for shelter. While hiding there, strange supernatural things begin to happen around the rabbis. But since they're in a house of God, the coven still can't get to them. The next morning, Guy, who is now a famous movie star, gets a call from Roman. Roman informs Guy that both Rosemary and Adrian are missing and that she might try to contact him soon. Later that night, Rosemary and Adrian stop at a bus stop. Rosemary makes a phone call to Guy while Adrian plays with his toy car nearby. As soon as Guy answers the phone, Rosemary immediately tells him she wants him to send her money followed by her instructions. Outside, some nearby kids start teasing Adrian and picking on him by stealing his toy car. Suddenly, in a fit of rage, Adrian knocks them unconscious to the ground. After hearing all the noise, Rosemary hangs up on Guy and runs outside to get Adrian. Trying to run away, they bump into Marjean, a prostitute who saw the whole thing and offers them to hide in her trailer. After a little while, Rosemary asks Marjean to go see what had happened out there. After Marjean comes back, she lies and tells Rosemary that two boys were killed. Marjean is obviously one of Roman and Minnie's followers, but offers to help Rosemary get a ride on a bus somewhere. After a bus finally arrives later that night, Rosemary gets trapped inside. The doors slam shut behind her before Adrian can get on. Rosemary then turns to the driver, only to discover that there is no driver at all. The bus is possessed and is actually driving itself. We then see Marjean holding Adrian in her arms as he sees his mother for the last time being taken away by the self-driving bus.The Book of Adrian
Over twenty years later, an adult Adrian and his best friend, Peter, are pulled over by cops for speeding. When he arrives at his home, which is his "Aunt" Marjean's cheap casino, she confronts him about his reckless behavior. She tells him that she's always worried about him ever since his parents were "killed in an automobile accident". Afterwards, Adrian decides to go take a joy ride and recklessly gets into a fight with a gang of violent bikers. After Peter comes looking for him, Adrian tells him what happened and how he's been suffering from strange nightmares and violent urges. Later that night, Roman and Minnie arrive at the casino pretending to be Adrian's aunt and uncle. As they prepare for his birthday party, Minnie drugs Adrian into unconsciousness and dresses him up into a costume and devil makeup. Peter, who notices something is wrong, becomes even more suspicious when he sees a big star like Guy Woodhouse arriving. After Guy and Roman join the rest of the coven, they begin to chant to Satan to appear to them. After their plan fails and all hope seems lost, Adrian suddenly becomes possessed and runs out on the casino's dance floor. Roman soon realizes that Satan is using Adrian to possess all the innocent people on the dance floor. Guy soon becomes frightened and runs away. When Peter sees Guy running away, he tries to catch up with him to make him help save Adrian. Guy panics when Peter struggles with him and electrocutes Peter with a broken power cord.The Book of Andrew
When Adrian wakes up, he's in a hospital and has amnesia. He is being kept there against his will because his fingerprints were the ones the police found on the broken power cord that killed Peter. A nurse named Ellen tells him his name is Adrian, but he says his name is Andrew because he remembers his mother used to call him that. Not knowing if Ellen will believe him or not, he is hesitant about telling her what he remembers about the cult. Ellen does believe him and helps him escape. When Guy hears about Andrew's escape from the hospital, he fears Andrew might come after him and kill him in a fit of rage. On the run, Andrew and Ellen stop at a motel, where she seduces him. She then confesses to him that she is a cult member and rapes him, while he's drugged. He apparently falls asleep having a terrible nightmare of Ellen as a type of harpyHarpy
