''A board game? I don't know.'' ''Oh c'mon Y/N! You've been around dead people all your life, you should be use to it by now.'' The blonde girl received a dark glare from you but shrugged it off. The other girls had decided to include you into their little circle of friends; one that you hated passionately and were oh so gracious enough than to invite you for a mini sleep over in one of their hotel rooms. ''It's just questions and a board game. What's the harm in that?'' Your E/C eyes glanced over at the amulet, noticing the constant flickering. That has been doing that ever since the incident. ''--Oi, dead girl! Are you playing or not?'' The amulet flickered one last time before stopping altogether, drawing your attention back to the others.

''Y-Yeah. I-I'll play.''

About a hour into the game, everything seemed fine. Harmless. Until one stupid brat just had to ask whoever was currently with them. Tolerating them. ''What is your name?'' You suddenly went stiff as cold sweat begin to form on your forehead. You've seen too many horror movies that start out like this and ended in bloodshed or demonic possession. But this 'spirit' was not looking for possession. Well, not taking over a living being's body per say. As the dumb red head asked again only more impatiently, your amulet was going crazy now as if responding to the question and was angry with it.

No, he was mad at it. With them. There was murderous intent bleeding from the board now. ''P-Please stop asking. I-I don't think it likes that question!'' Your tone was trembling now. ''I'm not going to stop until it, he, or whoever the hell it is answers. We summoned you and we demand that you answer! What.Is. Your. Name?!'' The triangle on the board flipped off the table and onto the floor. The lights went out and something akin to a low masculine voice came forth. You started to panic now, backing out of the circle. ''Hey, where're you going? This is getting interesting!'' Something in your gut, your very being was screaming at you to run. To leave the room, and who were you to ignore that warning? These stupid girls won't listen to you. Leave them for whatever they unleashed onto themselves.

The board's letter began to form a name. You started to tear up in fear. Run. Get out. Have to leave! A.T.E.M.

''Atem! That's your name!'' You gave a startled shriek before going into a dead faint.
