It was time. There I was sitting on my bed, staring down at the book and that was what I thought. It was time. I slowly lifted the front cover and began to read, I was expecting a story but instead what I read was like some kind of strange evil poem or scripture…..

I am the power of powers,

The master of death,

The ruler of kings.

I can destroy mountains,

Burn civilizations,

And bring down Gods.

I am the shadow in sunlight,

The fire in the earth,

The dagger in the night.

I weave deceit among lovers,

Darkness among friends,

I am the thorn among roses.

I am Atugar.

There is nothing that can stop me. I will rise again.

Join me.

At those two words I snapped the book shut. I didn’t want to read any more of it. I shoved the book under my bed and trudged down stairs.

That night I felt strange, light headed almost with just two words going round and round in my head: ‘Join me, join me.’

I shuddered and got into bed but before I turned the light out I had the strange urge to read just a little more of the book. Slowly I reached under my bed and pulled it out and placed it in front of me on my legs. Once again I tentatively lifted the front cover of the book but before I could read so much as a word the book’s pages flipped and glowed until I was staring at the middle page of the book. But no words were written there. I frowned mystified and flicked to the last page; Nothing whatsoever was written there. Just then I felt that lightheaded feeling again and passed out cold with the book still open and resting in my arms.
