You arrive to the graveyard. It's already late, so it's really dark here, and you can see a full moon hiding behind the clouds. You are surprised to find out that there are only a few people there: only those girls you saw during the dinner yesterday. "Well, I guess they've called their club secret not for nothing, but... why have they invited me?" you think, while approaching the group.
"So, that's all?" you ask. They nod. "I guess we should introduce ourselves first" you continue. "I'm Ari"
"I'm Jenny" says the club leader
The other two girls are Sandy and Emily.
The formal part was successfully finished. "So, what did you want to talk about before?" you ask impatiently.
Jeny says "First of all, about a new girl, you must know her. So many people are talking about her, but no one knows anything."
Her girlfriends agree and add "Yeah. You're studying in the same dark magic class with this Yvette, what can you say about her? We think she's somehow related to demons"
You think for a second and reply that you don't really know much about her, but that she seems to be quite close. Sure, she tried to talk with you for a little, but it felt like she was forcing herself.
"Yeah. I guess so..." Sandy agrees.
Jenny says, interrupting: "Ok, we can think about this later". She smiles. "The main reason of our meeting is that today we're going to try and summon the weakest demon. There were only three of us, and to conduct a ritual there must be 4 witches, so we couldn't do it before"
"What?" you wonder in shock.
She giggles. You sigh. You rapidly understand that you can't change her mind. And also you're kinda curious.
"Do you have a plan?" you ask
"Of course! It would be stupid to face the devil's minions without any protection"
Jenny confirms, smiling "so first of all we need to draw a circle with salt and also use a protection spell on us"
"A protection spell?" you repeat, questioning.
She shows you a book and you recognize it as one which you've read before.
You say "Oh, I know this book and spells from it "
"This is a very old spell" she tells everyone, opening the page. "Although we are kinda using it just for fun, it's very powerful"
You agree to help and proceed to read the spell while the girls hold the charms on each side of you. "Hands!" You say, holding Jenny's hand while the other two girls give you their hands, so you all form a circle. You concentrate, while the others chant the spell and put the charms on your forehead.
The spell worked; you knew it because you felt it cool on your forehead and a tingling sensation coming from there and going through your arm. After the girls let you go you look at them to check if it worked on them as well, and they confirm that it's working.
You draw a circle with salt. Then Jenny says "Now let's summon the demon. We need to read together this spell from the demonologic book I found in the library"
Jenny reads the chant that you memorize.
Then all of you form a circle again and read the spell together
After some minutes, that seemed longer than forever, a violent wind start blowing and dark clouds appear in the sky.
Jenny says "i guess it's working"
You look at her and try to read her face, but it's difficult in this lightning, the next roaring thunder and the darkening.
You don't say anything, but you think something is going wrong.
You shout, trying to be louder than the wind "Weren't we supposed to summon the weakest demon? All this shit, which is going on, doesn't look like it could have been caused by the weak one!"
With this worry in your head, you don't pay attention that you said something stupid.
Jenny turns very angry and says: "Actually, «weak» demons don't exist. All the demons are strong, the difference is how strong. We are summoning the less strongest one, tho he still can kill you with just a little glance, so i assume you shouldn't call him weak again"
Thinking about it for a second, and you know she is right.
She continues "Concentrate, he is about to appear"
You try to calm down and just think positive thoughts.
"Now!"
The girls make a big effort and start the chant.
Everything goes in slow motion... They aren't actually moving anymore, but you are!
You ask yourself quietly "Why I'm the only one who can move? "
The girls don't reply. For a moment it feels like your feet are made of cotton wool and you fall on the ground, but you feel nothing, it's as if your legs were without bones.
You see a demon appearing in front of you, smiling gracefully. He is very handsome and his body is in perfect shape, you can't help but staring at him. He wears a black leather coat, with a long dagger on his hip. He has a dark black hair and red eyes.
Suddenly he gives you a hand as if he was going to help you to get up, but when your hand touches his, you lose control of your body completely. Your blood freeze, you can't even scream...
