Craig couldn't help but to watch the ritual through the brush leaves while holding his cross neckless tight. He thought by figuring out who was behind each robe, he could tell father maxi to fix this issue.

"Pass me the sacramental wine!" The man in the robe called for.

"The wine!" Craig sharply said to himself as he recalls the missing wine that Father Maxi had ask him about.

Craig was really baffled to what specifically these people wanted from the ritual or what kind of evil are they trying to brew. The light began to grow bigger and the chanting of people followed louder and louder.

"IT IS TIME TO BRING UPON A DEMON. BRING ME THE GOAT" the same man demanded. He quickly grabs the goat and kills the poor animal onto the Baphoment star. He  follow his ritual, "NOW CHANT WITH ME GENTLEMEN!"

"HELL RISE DEMON"
"HELL RISE DEMON"

Craig began tearing up as the same phrase repeated again and again until he couldn't take it anymore.
He quickly rose up from his hiding spot and held out his crucifix towards the group of men and shouted:

"BY THE NAME THE LORD WHAT IS THIS EVIL THAT CALLS UPON US TODAY?"

The entire group sharply turn their heads and stared fiercely into Craig's eyes.

"Who the fuck are you" one of the men shouted.

Before Craig could of responded to that question, another man responded, "Hey! That's the little bastard who sings at the local church! That's Father Maxi's little bitch!"

"HOW DARE YOU INTERRUPT US YOU LITTLE SHIT! LETS SACRIFICE HIM TO THE DEVIL." Shouted the cult man. "YEAH" the rest shouted and all began running towards Craig.

Craig was suddenly surrounded by 6 men who he couldn't figure who they were and had nothing to protect himself with but the cross he had wring tightly in his hands.

"Back off! I have no intention of hurting you gentlemen! I just forbid you guys to bring chaos into this town."

"Bullshit" a man cut off Craig. "Maybe next time you shouldn't be sticking your little nose into somebody's else's business kid. Who am I kidding? THERE ISN'T GOING TO BE A NEXT TIME!" He charges at Craig with a dagger knife in his hand.

Craig tried to flee but the other five men began hold him down which cause Craig to be in such a disadvantage. The man began to draw his knife back and forth in Craig's face, "Didn't think today would be your last day huh?"

"MEN drag him to the circle! We shall finish this once and for all." He leads the other five men and follows them behind.

"BEGIN THE CHANTING AGAIN" He slowly leans in Craig's face and raises up his sweater revealing his pale stomach.

"WE CALL UPON HIM"
"WE CALL UPON HIM"
"WE CALL UPON HIM"

Craig releases a loud scream and the man shoved the dagger right onto his side of his waist. The blood of the young pastor drips onto star and poor saint faints. The men tosses Craig to the side and began the final words.

"AND RISE"
"AND RISE"
"AND RISE"

Suddenly fog began to appear and a horrible screeching sound rang into everyone's ears.

Soon two hands with sharp pointy nails began to hold onto the ground and began to pull itself up as flames surrounded the appearing creature.

The men all gazed fondly at the successful summoning and soon the evil figure began to be visible.

A blonde boy with short sharp red horns and a long tail that had a pointy tip. Visible fangs and a pair of goat legs instead of human legs. On top of all that, the boy had bloody red eyes that made the men fear.

"I can't believe it! IT WORK!" The man who stabbed the faithful boy shouted.

Craig began to regain his conscious and felt the pain of the wound take effect again. He grabs his cut and lets out a loud groan. His eye wander for a sign until he realized the beast that stood upon him. His eyes widened in shocked and his body turned limp because the fear had took him in.

The men quickly saw their victim awaken and pinned him down once more. The same stabber knocked Craig out with the empty glass of wine and ordered the men to carry out his body into Stark's Pond only to freeze him to death.

As they slowly started dragging Craig, the demon could not help but notice the charm and fairness of the unconscious face. He couldn't help but to realize that couldn't let such a pure man go to waste so easily even if he is evil.

Just something deep down inside of him wanted to save Craig.

"AAAHH so demon! What is your name? I have a favor to bestow!" The man asked.

The creature swoop down before him and slowly reached out his hard with sharp nails out. "So you pull me outta hell and suddenly you think I'm going to be your bitch?" The demon rose his hand and slashed a crossed the mans chest. "I don't think so. I want to do what I want mmh"

The half goat man began to fly towards the rest of the gentleman with repulsiveness. The men noticed the backfiring and rushed to throw Craig's body into the icy pond.

The creature gasp. "How dare they. They're going to regret this."
