-"Made it."- Drake informed us when we reached his and T.J's room. Once inside and on the floor, with the only light being the one from a flashlight, T.J began:
-"it is said that a dark, sinister force is roaming around this clinic. It's black as coal and quick as light. It haunts whoever hurt who they love. Nobody knows who it could've been. A girl, a boy, a man, a woman, a patient, an employee. All anybody knows is that it died here and that it's seeking revenge day and night. Dark as the night, evil as a demon. Beware, for the Shadow of Micheal's room will haunt us forever."- AHA! So now I know who slept with Micheal and why their name is unknown. The voice, it warned me about Kyle. It's not evil to innocent people!
-"Do you think it's evil to everybody?"- I asked T.J, full of curiosity.
-"No idea, but it helped me locate the files, so it might be evil only to those who are dangerous."- T.J answered, his voice shaking.
-"Alright."- I didn't push the issue any further. We planned the following after a real fucking scary story:
In 19 days, police officers will come to register and search this place. We are allowed to speak with them for any kind of disturbance we have with anything of this place. We need to find as much evidence as we can find before that date. Today is November 20th, 2015, so they'll be here on December 9th, 2015. We will have the following occur in the meantime:
1-Drake will destroy the cameras. (But we'll have to convince the Shadow to help us, but for that, we'll need to do a ritual, which I will describe later on.)
2-T.J will keep stealing files from H.Q. (So I can file, sort, and prepare evidence.)
3-Ryder will cover us up. (With whatever comes to his mind at the moment.)
4-And I will do research, filing, and organizing of the evidence we need to free everybody here from this living hell.
After the mentioned above is a success, we shall present our evidence.
Now that that was cleared up, let's discuss the ritual for the summoning of The Shadow (of The Clinic):
Step 1: Make sure you're in the dark and cold.
Step 2: have all the objects (ingredients) required. (Mentioned below)
Step 2.1: Ingredients A.K.A objects needed to summon The Shadow:
a) Candle wax (hot)
b) Water (cold)
c) Tears (from the summoners)
d) Crimson from a sinner (must be poured right after the moment of subtraction or removal)
Step 3: Add the ingredients in the order in which they were mentioned. (If you do not do this, you'll be sorry afterward)
Step 4: Concentrate on your purpose for the summoning of Shadow. (Deep concentration)
Step 5: Wait for Shadow to appear and fulfill your purpose.
Now, that's done. Good.
-"Well, I've got everything, except the last ingredient."- Said Ryder, a puzzled look on his face. I knew what it meant. Deep down, I knew that it could only come from me.
-"it can only come from me, I'm the only one."- I said, barely audible.
-"WHAT?! You can't Ash!"- Ryder screamed, desperately hugging me from behind. I held his hands before replying:
-"I have to Ryder, I have the crimson of a sinner."-
-"But what the fuck does crimson even mean? Somebody tell me!"-
-"It means blood Ryder, the blood from a sinner."- Drake replied, his ice-cold tone freezing my blood for a slip moment, only for a moment, and then it went away. Ryder let me go and I turn to meet his pale, color drained face.
-"Ashley, but, why you?"- Ryder asked a little bit of color on his still pale face.
-"I'm a sinner, but a deep one. Even if I confess what I've done, I'll still do it again. I don't care about my sins, so I'm considered to be a demon by priests, a deep, grave sinner. That's why it has to be me, I'm the only one who can babe. Just, try not to look, alright?"- I said, starring at the confusion in his face afterward.
-"But why Ash?"- Asked Ryder, taking my hand in his.
-"You'll know soon."- I replied and went to the bathroom to check if there was cold water. Drake rushed off to get a candle and some matches. T.J looked around for something to use as a bowl. Ryder just stayed on a corner, leaning against a wall, probably trying to clear his head. I don't blame him, he's got all the right to be confused. A while later, Drake and T.J come in with the things that they had set out to look for.
-"We're back!"- They shout in unison once they were inside the room.
-"Noticed." I commented and took a look at my nails. 'Nice and long, perfect.'- I thought as I saw T.J do all the steps required (of the assembling).
-"Done."- He said. The lights are off, the room is cold, everything is in place. Only the tears and crimson to go. The bowl's in place, nothing is imperfect.
-"Now, cry people."- Drake blurts out. We all sit down on the floor. I poured the candle wax after having it lit in the bathroom for a while. The cold water soon followed. Then, T.J burst out crying and lowered his head, so that the tears would fall easily into the bowl. He lifted his head, only to be replaced by Drake's. Ryder went next, sobbing in the process as well. I went last, allowing my tears to be set free for once in front of people (not including Ryder). When my eyes were lined with the bowl, I blinked and let the waterfall pour. The tears slowly drop onto the container.
*Drop, drop, drop*
A spark emerged, clear with a white tail. Only my blood to go. I slowly sank my nail into my jacket's sleeve.
-'Sharp enough.'- I thought, pulling my sleeve up, revealing the many (too many) cuts on my forearm.
-"*gasps* Ashely, babe..."- Ryder exclaimed, his face horrified.
-"Told ya so."- I said and sank my nail deep into my skin. Once deep enough, I began to slide it the same way I did with my razor back in the school bathroom during class hours. The blood comes out without too much effort. I tilt my wrist so that the blood dripped directly into the bowl.
*Drip, drip, drip*
The same thing as before occurred, only that this time, the tail was red and the rest was a blue color. The ground shook a little, but it was just in our space of matter. I closed my eyes and then I deeply thought of my purpose:
Freedom, justice, love, a new world... Help us Shadow, and so I will help you in return. Let your evil descend upon those who are your enemies instead of us, your allies...
I feel a cold sensation fill the atmosphere around me afterward.
