You watched as Minx drew a fairly large circle on the concrete floor of the basement, drawing random symbols around it. They kind of reminded you of smiley faces in a way - two dots with a curve, an x over it, like it's being crossed out.

"And now the final touch, writing the demon's name" Minx says as she reads the article in her phone "... DreamXD?"

"DreamXD? What type of demon name is that?" Asks Jack as he peeks over at Minx's phone "it doesn't sound like a demon name at all if I'm being honest"

"I thought I would have some cool name like Nightmare or something" George says

"Don't make fun of it" Niki snickers "what if it comes after you for making fun of its name"

"Nonsense" George says as he chuckles

"Okay everyone! Huddle up around the circle and sit criss-cross. I'll turn off the lights and turn on the candles" Minx instructs her friends "and remember, keep your focus on the Ouija board in case DreamXD wants to communicate with us"

You felt your heartbeat increase as you heard the switch go off, the bright room was pitch black. The footsteps of Minx's echoes loudly through the almost empty basement as she makes her way to the circle, lighting a candle before placing it on one of the corners of the Ouija board.

Suddenly you shiver violently - feeling like the humid temperature inside the basement dropped degrees down. You tried to look at your friends to see if they had felt the cold front with the bit of lighting that emitted from the now two lighted candles - none of them seemed to be bothered. They all looked serious and focused, ready to summon the supposed demon out of hell.

'It's probably just me scaring myself ' you thought as you took a deep breath, not knowing why you were feeling nervous and scared all of a sudden. You knew this was all a hoax, just a dumb game to scare people, yet you had a gut feeling that things aren't going to go like you want it to. 'Or it's probably just the alcohol' You did take a shot or two earlier that night.

Lighting the third candle, Minx places it on the middle top of the horror board, the three candles forming a triangle. You let out a shaky breath, watching how the flames burning up the string danced with the shadow of the darkness, swaying from side to side as it gave a faint orange glow to your surroundings.

"Everything is ready" Minx says as she brings your attention back to earth "I will read out the poem thing to summon then before chanting, we have to drop a droplet of blood in the middle of the Ouija board"

Everyone turns to face you at the mention of blood, making you shift uncomfortably on the cold hard concrete floor of the basement. Niki, who was sitting next to you, gives you a reassuring smile before handing you the thick needle-stick that Minx stole from her mother's first aid kit - of course disinfecting before to make sure no diseases were spread. Gulping hard, you take the needle and thighed your grip as you turn to face Minx who smiles at you before going back to reading the article.
