Just a thing before we get started, I won't be posting anything until Sunday because I will be at my dad's house, and I can't bring my computer to his house. Just thought that I might put that out there :) Also this text is for when people are dreaming.

I sat quietly as Mindy and Randy took turns reading from the book, sometimes sharing glances with each other after reading a certain part. They both were so engrossed in the book, making sure to read anything that can help them make this ritual thing possible. They both stopped and looked at me for a moment, before looking back at book "To summon 'The Rake', all participants must hold hands in a circle and close their eyes and imagine the embodiment of 'The Rake'." Mindy grabbed mine and Randy's hands, grasping them firmly as he did the same to my other hand. They both closed their eyes, almost instantly, I kept mine open for a moment before closing them hesitantly.

I began to imagine 'The Rake', I imagined it as a tall figure with almost zero meat on its limbs, bright, soulless eyes, grey skin, terrifyingly long talon like nails on the end of each finger, and sharp teeth. I felt a shiver go down my spine just thinking about it, hearing Randy speak boredly, "When is anything going to happen?" "Damn Randy, be patient!" Mindy whisper-yelled, making Randy groan. I sighed; I'm starting to think that this is all a hoax to get people scared. I kept my eyes closed, but I had an urge to open them, the atmosphere of this whole situation was eerie. Like all the chirping from the birds and the sounds of the leaves blowing just stopped, it was just the sound of our own breathing as we kept holding hands. I groaned and let go of both of their hands as I opened my eyes. Mindy looked at me with a saddened expression as Randy looked at me with a look of annoyance.

"This is stupid," I said, raising my hands up in defense, "I'm going home, I need something for lunch." I stood up and walked away at a fast pace. I could hear Mindy calling out to me from behind as I heard randy mutter something about me being a pussy, I didn't care, I just kept speed walking away. I wanted to get back home, I wasn't even hungry, I just wanted to leave and get the hell out of that damn hack and back home. I kept walking until I felt the crunch of woodchips under my feet, and the small laughter of other kids at the park. I sighed in relief as I walked through the park, for once, I was actually happy to be going home. I started sprinting to my house, just wanting to get away from the woods. I didn't hear or see anything; the atmosphere just didn't feel right. As soon as I knew it, I was standing on the doormat, unlocking the door to step inside.

I stepped into the house, closing the door behind me. I slipped of my shoes and walked to the staircase, making my way to my room. I arrived at my room and grabbed a pair of pants and a grey t-shirt. I changed into the comfy clothing and laid on my bed, grabbing the soft stuffy I slept with the night before and hugging it close to my chest. I tried to think of another reason to be afraid of those woods, but I couldn't. I felt my eyes get heavy as I looked at my alarm clock besides me. '2:56, taking a small nap wouldn't be too bad.' I thought to myself out loud. I lowly let my eyes close as I rested my chin on the head of my stuffy as I fell into a restless slumber.

I woke up again, except I was staring into an endless sky of stars and darkness. I felt grass beneath me, as my knee ached. I heard a pained scream from someone, it sounded like... Mindy! I practically jumped up, but the pain in my knee seemed to grow, I looked down to see it covered in dirt and my own blood. My head snapped up as I heard Mindy scream my name, "Samantha! Please help!" I started running the best I could towards her pained voice as she kept screaming and begging for me to help her. I ran as hard as I could as my lungs begged for air; the screams suddenly stopped but I kept running. I ran until my foot got caught on something, causing me to fall flat on my stomach. I caught my breath as I turned over to see what I tripped on. My eyes widened as I felt tears prick the corners of them, I tripped over Mindy... Mindy's arms and legs had deep cuts on them, and her stomach had a huge gash in it, making blood spill from it, and she was missing her left arm.

I felt tears spill from my eyes as I backed away from the body and stood up, but a shuffle from behind me made me whip around. I saw the same figure that was described in the book, it had what seemed to be Mindys rm in its mouth, eating away the meat from the bone. I backed away, making sure to step over her body as tears kept pilling from my eyes. I picked up a large tick and kept backing away as it started printing at me on all fours. I screamed and began running, I didn't know where I was going, but I was running away from whatever the hell just killed Mindy. I felt jump onto my back, sticking its claws into my shoulders, causing me to fall again. I cried harder and pleaded for it to let me go, I even tried yelling out for Randy, but he never came. I let out one more scream before closing my eyes shut. 

I woke up in a cold sweat, gasping at the nightmare that just occurred. I grasped my stuffy tightly as I looked at my clock, 9:47, damn, I was asleep for that long? I sighed shakily as I laid back down in my bed. Thoughts ran through my head a million times and hour as I felt my eyes become heavy again, I closed them and hoped for a normal dream as thoughts continued to race through my mind. What the hell was that dream? Was it a sign of some sort? Did it mean anything?
