Hot As Hell

3 Days Later: The Blood Moon

"What did you even tell your mom?" Zheng Xi says as he opens the door to see a slightly exhausted but ecstatic Guan Shan.

"Math camp," the other answers as he enters the house.

"What the fuck?"

"She was so put out with the way I was acting the past few weeks, she didn't even question it. She's just glad I'm leaving the house."

"You were acting quite insane," Jian Yi adds walking into the hallway to greet the other, "Let's go to the living room, that's where we gonna summon the portal."

Seeing the way the living room had been set up for the ritual made Guan Shan glad that Zheng Xi's mother wasn't home and he prayed to god that she wouldn't come home soon. The two had cleared the room from any furniture and in the middle was a huge pentagram. The pentagram was complex, every inch of it was filled with various symbols and Guan Shan feels a lump in his throat remembering how long it took Jian Yi to create such a pentagram. He also feels his nose involuntarily wrinkle at the smell of the blood which came from the drawing of the pentagram, if the bright red wasn't an indication of it, the smell sure was a dead giveaway. He didn't want to think too much about how the two managed to get that much blood to draw the pentagram. But what really sent chills down the redhead's spine was the fact that the room was lightened by only a handful of candles that lay around the pentagram and the huge moon which was illuminated through the window. The moonlight shone directly at the pentagram adding to the eerieness.

"Wow I love what you have done with the place," Guan Shan mumbles weakly.

"Shut up, lie on the ground and pass that jacket," Zheng Xi orders.

Guan Shan turns towards Jian Yi while tossing the jacket he was holding in his hands to him, "On the pentagram?"

"Yeah and spread your arms and legs, like the Leonardo DiCaprio drawing," Jian Yi adds.

"He means the Leonardo da Vinci drawing," Zheng Xi adds.

"No I don't."

"I told you they are not the same person."

"How come they have the same name?"

"They don't!"

Ignoring their bickering Guan Shan hesitatingly steps into the pentagram. A huge shiver runs down his spine, he swallows in fear, what if he dies?

I guess he will still see He Tian that way, just in a different context...

Breathe Guan Shan, be brave.

"Wow, you got on there quick." Jian Yi comments, noticing that in the middle of their squabble Guan Shan had laid down on the pentagram with his arms and legs spread out.

"Zheng Xi hurry up and take out your phone."

"Do you want to die?" Guan Shan growls from his position on the floor.

"Well, technically I can't."

"Jian Yi I think it's almost time," Zheng Xi mumbles staring out the window.

"Okay," Jian Yi says clapping his hands together, "I sent a message to He Tian that you would be coming but I have no clue if he got it yet but let's hope for the best. I have no idea where this thing will drop you so wherever you are if He Tian isn't there just run towards the black castle. Also the beings there will start to notice that you don't belong there approximately an hour in human time so make sure you get to the castle before then."

"Great," Guan Shan huffs, "How long is 1 hour in hell?"

"I have no clue."

"Great."
