31 Days of Halloween 2019

Day 6: Ouija Board

"Whatcha doing Oliver?" I asked my cat when he jumped onto the couch next to me. He purred happily and rubbed his face against my arm. I stroked his fur and pulled him into my lap. "You're such a good kitty."

Oliver meowed in response and curled up in my lap while I continued to pet him. I switched on the TV and after a while I began to doze off.

Suddenly I felt as if I was being whipped through the air, I heard Oliver meow in terror. Before I knew it, I found myself standing in the center of someone else's living room holding Oliver.

I looked around the room and saw, to my surprise, three oddly shaped shadow figures standing around me. Three pairs of glowing red eyes stared at me.

"Oh. My. God!" One of them with a large pair of horns protruding from its head, exclaimed as it dropped, what looked like an Ouija board, onto the floor.

"It has a cat!" The second one screamed and ran out of the room. Shortly after, I heard the slam of a door in another part of the house.

"What have we done?" The last one questioned as it and the horned one continued to stare at me with what seemed like terror in their eyes.

"Uh, hi?" I smiled awkwardly as I greeted them.

"Nope, I'm out of here." The horned one quickly made it's exit.

"Don't leave me alone with it!" The third one pleaded.

Oliver meowed, which caused the creature to flinch in fear.

"He won't hurt you." I said reassuringly. "His name is Oliver; you can pet him if you want." I took a step towards the creature. It flinched again and took a step but then relaxed and reached to pet Oliver on the head.

Oliver let out an angry hiss and the creature quickly pulled its had away. "Well, I guess Sir Oliver doesn't like me too much."

I laughed. "I guess not."

The creature let out a short nervous laugh before staring at me again.

"So, uh, what are you guys? where am I? And why am I here?" I asked.

"Demons. The Underworld. And because we were messing around with an Ouija board trying to mess around with humans who were also playing with Ouija boards in your realm and we accidently summoned you while doing so." The demon spoke really fast as it answered my questions.

"Um, ok? And how do I get back? I was in the middle of taking a nap with my cat."

"Well, this hasn't happened to us before, so I don't know how to send you back." The demon explained. "We will need Lord Lucifer's assistance with that."

"That's just great." I stated sarcastically. "Anyway, what's the deal with your buddies?"

"Well, Carl is terrified of cats. That's why he ran out screaming and his brother Carlos was just freaked out by the fact that you talked to us."

I chuckled before responding. "So, their names are Carl and Carlos, what's yours?"

"Oh, I'm Greg." The demon replied.

"I'm Jamie. You guys don't seem all that scary."

"That's because we are lesser demons, we don't do any of that haunting and possession stuff. We mostly lurk in the shadows and watch humans when we visit earth." Greg explained.

"Ah, ok. So, when is Lucifer going to send me back?"

"He has probably sensed your presence already so he should be arriving any moment now." Only seconds after Greg said that, Lucifer, himself, appeared in the living room surrounded by a large cloud of red smoke. He too had horns protruding from his head but was more human in appearance. He was actually quite handsome except for the fact that he's the overlord of the Underworld.

Sensing Lucifer's presence, Carl and Carlos joined the three of us in the living room and stood by Greg's side.

"Hello, human." Lucifer greeted me before turning to the three demons. "How many times have I told you three not to play with the Ouija boards?" he scolded.

"Many times." Carl replied as he cowered.

"And why do I tell you not to play with them?" Lucifer questioned.

"Because they have the chance of summoning unwanted humans into the Underworld." The three demons said in unison.

"That's right. Now, I don't want to have to remind you three again." Lucifer turned to me again. "Alright, now let's return you back to your home."

"Thank you." I replied while Oliver hissed at him. I stroked Oliver's fur to calm him.

Lucifer snapped his fingers and I was whipped through the air again. This time I appeared back on my couch with Oliver in my lap.

Was I really summoned by demons? Did I really visit the Underworld? Or was that all just a dream?

To this day I still have no idea if any of that actually happened. All I know is I have a new fear of dark shadowy areas, they creep me out and make me feel like someone is watching me.
