Summoning Demons

Chapter 1

TW: mention of arachnids, blood and cutting

George's  eyes shot open as the beeping of his alarm clock filled his ears. He arose from his bed to turn off the alarm and got ready for the same boring job he had gone to for the past five years. He sighed while looking at himself in the mirror wishing something would happen to him. Something exciting and out of the ordinary.

George got in his car and drove to work with heavy eye bags the feeling of loneliness? or many it was depression but he felt empty. As he pulled up to work he got out to be greeted by a coworker. "Hey George good morning!" 

"Morning Gary", George sighed taking a sip of his bitter coffee.

"Hey George! The big boss told me to tell you that you need to reorganize the books in the basement." Gary said with a nervous smile on his face.

"Are you serious! why can't Cindy do that! The basement freaks me out its full of spider webs and cockroaches and other disgusting vile things. It just creepy." George said with a huff.

"Sorry man Cindy organized it last time." Gary shrugged. George sighed and continued on his way to the basement. The roaches and spider scurried across the floor making George jump. he could feel the goosebumps forming on his arms. There was a cold gust of wind from who knows where. His heart began to race as his flash light flickered on. he turned the yellowish tinted lights on and walked down the creaky stairs. 

George skimmed the books with his pale thin fingers. He looked at all the dusty books on the shelves and got to work organizing and cleaning. George hummed to himself while placing the books in boxes and packing them up with tape. After a few hours of working he got to a weird part of the shelf to say the least. it was fully of books about demons, summonings and all sorts of weird spells. One book in particular caught his eye. It was bright green with a scaled pattern on the front and back. In big black letter it read "Incubus Summonings", George chuckled to himself. He had never believed in witches and ghouls as a child but finding these books really made him think. But of course they weren't true what kind of idiot would believe and read these books. George thought about it and set the book aside while finishing everything up.

On Georges way out he grabbed the book out of curiosity. He walked to his car, book in his hand wishing he hadn't taken it. He unlocked his door to be greeted by the smell of chocolates and dying flowers. He walked in with a deep sigh and flopped on his couch. He opened up the book he brought and began to read and see its eerie and pictures. "Well thats disturbing", George said with a shiver. "To summon a Incubus you need a drop of mortal blood on silver and then light it on fire with a candle of any kind?" George read out loud and chuckled to himself. "bet."

George knew where he could get blood obviously but where would he get silver? He looked around his room for anything silver. he checked his closet and living room and his dresser. While searching through his dresser he found a little bracelet that was a gift from his mother with silver surrounding a small crystal. "It didn't specify how much so this will do I guess." George said to himself walking to the living room and sitting in the middle of the floor. He sighed and grabbed a kitchen knife beside him that he had grabber earlier. He sliced his palm open with a swift motion and blood poured out of his cut and dripped onto the floor covering the bracelet in blood. he grabbed a lighter from his room and a candle. 

He sat back down to the bloody bracelet on the floor. "This is so stupid" George mumbled to himself while lighting the bloody bracelet on fire. "I really hope this doesn't burn my floor", George sighed getting ready to pour water on it. After a few seconds of nothing he gave up and poured the water on the fire. The smoke arose from the remaining flames and only got bigger and bigger. "What the hell?" George said watching the smoke ingulf the room. The smoke turned a shade of green that look evil and strange.

"Hello Doll."
