In the depths of a dark forest, a group of friends gathered around a fire, ready to perform a ritual that they had found online. They didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a harmless game. But as they began to recite the ancient words, something shifted in the air.
The fire flickered and danced, casting strange shadows across the faces of the group. They felt a chill run down their spines as the words of the ritual echoed through the trees.
Suddenly, a gust of wind stirred up the leaves, and the fire roared to life. The friends looked at each other in horror, realizing that something was wrong.
As they continued the ritual, they felt a cold presence creeping closer. They could hear whispers in the darkness, voices that were not their own. And then, they saw it.
A figure emerged from the shadows, its eyes glowing with an otherworldly light. It was a creature, unlike anything they had ever seen before. Its skin was black as night, its limbs twisted and gnarled. And it was angry.
The friends tried to run, but they were rooted to the spot. The creature advanced towards them, its jaws opening wide to reveal rows of razor-sharp teeth.
In a panic, one of the friends tried to break the circle, but it was too late. The creature lunged, and the friends screamed as they were consumed by darkness.
Days later, the police found the remains of the friends, scattered throughout the forest. The ritual had gone horribly wrong, and they had paid the ultimate price.
The forest was never the same after that night. Locals reported strange sightings and eerie noises echoing through the trees. And those who knew the truth never spoke of it again, afraid that they too might summon the creature that had claimed the lives of their friends.
