Lights

One night I was sitting in the living room reading a book on my phone. I was the only one home for the time being as the others did their own thing. I had a bag of chips on my left to eat as I read, since I liked to eat as I read.

I was almost at the climax of the story when the lights started to flicker. It was either the lights needed changed, a murder taking out the power, or demons.

"Awww heeeelllllll naaaawwwwww. I've seen to many episodes of Criminal Minds to go and investigate and Supernatural to know something is out to get me." I say quickly getting up, throwing my phone off to the side.

I went to the kitchen to get our bag of salt. I went back to the living room, that thankfully had hardwood floors, and put a circle around me. I grabbed my phone, and sat down in the circle to continue reading. Incase it was an intruder, I had a knife at arms length away.

About an hour later, the lights were fine, they just so happened to flicker. Not long after, Jin and Hoseok came home. I looked up at them as they stared back at me in my salt circle.

"What happened here?" Jin asked.

"Cristo." I say just to make sure they weren't possessed.

"What?" They both asked.

"Nothing. So, how was you guys' time out?" I ask changing the subject.

"It wa-" Hoseok was about to say something till Jin cut him off.

"Answer the question. What happened here?" Jin repeated.

"Ah." I say looking around me. "Well you see, the lights flickered and I had three options as to what it was. Two of those three options I get were irrational, but I still did something about it." I answer.

"What were the options?" Hoseok asked.

"The lights needed changed," I say sticking up a finger. "A murderer slash intruder was about to come after me," I say adding another finger. "Or, demons were about to take over me."

They both looked at me as if I was crazy. Granted, I still haven't left the circle I made, I was just to lazy to get up at the moment.

"So, you grabbed salt and a knife for two of the options?" Jin asked as I nodded. "Did the lights only flicker a few times like EVER OTHER HOUSE HAPPENS TO DO?!" He finishes yelling to add emphasis.

"I JUST WANTED TO HE SAFE!" I shout back with my hands up surrendering.

"You watch to much tv." Hoseok says.

"Now clean this up." Jin commands pointing at the circle I was in.

I grab the broom and dust pan then take them to the living room. I start sweeping the circle into a line so I could just put it on the pan in one sweep.

As I was doing that, some of the others came home. Of course, they questioned what happened, so I explained to them. Yoongi just stared at me, judging me, then walking away towards his room.

I soon go back to cleaning up, dancing a bit to a song in my head. In no time, I finished up and went back to the couch to read. Soon enough, the lights flickered again. Just as I was about to run to the kitchen and grab salt, Jin came running out.

"Nu-uh! You have lost salt privileges!" He says stopping me, grabbing my arm.

"Cristo." I mumble to check once again.

He sighs and lets go of my arm walking back to his room. I slowly walk back to my room, until I realized I left my phone on the couch. Once I got my phone, I immediately texted my friend about what I did.
