Midnight 1.

When your scared your heart pumps at what feels like 1000 miles per hour. You feel the goosebumps and the hairs on the back of your neck stand and your scream gets trapped in your throat. It's the worst feeling.

The first time I was truly scared is the night I met Harry. He was malicious looking with a sharp tongue. Of course I dropped all of those thoughts when my 17 year old self saw his face.

{Flashback}

I was home alone. My Nonna left with her friends to Vegas for a couple of days. It was nearing 11 o'clock and I've been through every app on my phone, twice. I decided to see what books Nonna would have in her library.

Walking in I'm hit with the smell of old paper and ink. Skimming through the books I see one the catches my eye. 'The Shadow Man,' it read. I pull it out and walk towards my room.

I flip to the first page, a warning. 'Do be warned that the Shadow Man is not a joke. Summon at your own risk.' I chuckled quietly at the ridiculous warning. On the next page it started the summoning process. 'To summon the Shadow Man you must have a needle, something if silver, one hair, a candle, and paper. Firstly, grab the needle and prick your finger. Dab the blood on the paper. Next, pluck a hair from your head. Lastly, put the silver on somewhere on your person. You will regret it if you don't. At midnight burn the piece of hair and the paper with your blood. The Shadow Man will appear.'

The chapters are short for a reason. I make them that way so I can update faster. I have school and friends that I can't ignore. Sorry guys. - Chantael
