The first time my friend, Toni, had asked me to sacrifice Liya with her, i was shocked. I didn't know what to do or say to such a request. It's not every day where 1 of your closest friends asks you to do a ritual with them to sacrifice the other. And it scared me, this wasn't the Toni I knew, or at least I thought i knew.
So why did I say yes?
Why was I getting materials for this "ritual" that we were going to do.
Well, maybe it was because of Toni's desperation when asking. She had that look in her eyes as if the world was ending. How could I say no?
Something about "God blah blah blah god"? I'm not sure, I tuned her out at that moment, which I regret doing.
But with all this in mind, why did I follow through?
I don't know.
Every moment closer to her sacrifice filled me with dread. But how could I say that when it was Liya who was the victim in all of this?
Just because i have this feeling of regret doesn't mean I'm excused in all of this. I mean, I still helped with it after all. I didn't have to, yet I still did.
I had everything.
I had all the materials.
And I knew if I stepped into that dark, damp basement.
There was no turning back. I'm in too deep.
Seeing Toni's face gave me chills. Her face contorted with this sinister look on it. At this point, I started to question whether it really was Toni.
Seeing Liya's unconscious state as she was tied up made sick. I didn't like looking at her limp body or her resting face, knowing this would be the last time I would ever see her.
And I still went through with it.
Toni lit up the candles around us as she drew a strange symbol around Liya.
We interlocked arms as we both saw the flames color changing. It was a horrid sight.
I could hear Liya's cries for mercy, yet I didn't dare interfere.
The flames started to grow higher than they should've. I could feel the heat of them all the way up to my face.
I tried to warn Toni, yet she shushed me, too entranced in the ritual.
"It's working, we won't get harmed" is the last thing she said to me.
And besides, who was I to dare defy Tony?
