Sciophobia

Chapter 8: Shit.

we met after school in the huge, half lit up gym. Rylan and Dylan were already there. as i walked up, you could hear my steps echoing off the walls. "hey" Rylan said to me, her voice sounding everywhere. "sup" i say quietly, trying not to make my voice echo. Dylan inclined her head towards me, and I in return. "what do we need to do?" Rylan asked. "first, we need to study the book to find out where Josh could be." I answered her while pulling the book out of my bag. I put the book on the floor and open it to the Shadow Demon page. I studied it for any clues to find him. "this is useless" I say after a few minutes. I throw the book against a wall. It landed in front of a mirror upside down. I calm down a little and walk over to pick it up.  I raise it a couple inches, but something caught my eye. I was holding the book upside down, i look i look through the mirror at the book. There was a sentence written on the page, but it looked normal in the mirror. I looked at the sentence on the actual page. The text on the page was upside down and backwards. "guuuuys" I say. The girls walk over to me and the book, i show them the sentence written on the page and explain it. "Shit." Rylan said in amazement.  Things went horrible after that. The lights started getting brighter. "what's going on?" Rylan asked fearfully. "no"  I say, holding the book tight against my chest. I back up against the wall as the dark figure manifested itself. I felt a pressure against my arms, trying to pull the book away. it was trying to steal the book. "NO" I say sternly, trying to make it go away again, but my voice quivered. The pressure on the book subsided, then it started again, but this time on my chest. I flew across the gym and felt my head hit the wall. The last thing i remember was Rylan running towards me.
