3: Possession?

(Y/n) p.o.v

We all made our way back to the living room to begin the ritual. Once we got there Greg took off the bag he had been carrying around the whole time. Upon opening it, he revealed the contents. It contained an empty bowl, a knife, chalk, a candle, and a piece of paper with words scribbled on it. "Okay guys, there's a slight issue. The only demon summoning spell that I could find is meant for one person so somebody's gonna have to volunteer," Greg said and looked around at the rest of us.

Everyone looked nervous and it didn't seem like anyone was going to volunteer anytime soon so I piped up, "You guys are a bunch of pussies, I'll do it." (y/n) that's literally how every skeptic
dies in horror movies, you idiot." Amy said. "Yeah well those are movies, this is real life. None of this is real dummy," I grinned at her. "Well (y/n) is probably the only person here who will do it. Besides, this is the perfect chance to prove to her that these things exist." Tate smirked. Amy huffed and nodded her head in agreement, knowing that Tate was right.

"Alrighty then, that settles it! (y/n) is gonna do the ritual." Greg said, handing me the contents of the bag and shoving me into an empty room. I laugh at all of them and close the door, locking it
behind me. I grabbed the piece of paper from the bag read the instructions.

Step 1- Take the chalk and make a circle large enough to lay down in.

Step 2- Draw summoning sigils in the circle

Step 3- Draw another circle around the first circle (around 6in larger)

Step 4- Fill the second circle with various protective runes

Step 5- Draw one last circle around the other two (large enough to stand comfortably in) Keep this circle blank

Step 6- Douse all light except for the candle which should be placed on a shelf/ table north of the circles

Step 7- Place blood in the southernmost part of the inner circle

Step 8- Draw the rough shape of a human on the floor in the inner circle (mark the head with a circle, the hands with triangles, the feet with rectangles, and the center with a 9 pointed starburst)

Step 9- Place the empty bowl on the head's circle

Step 10- Stand in the outermost ring of the circle (DO NOT LEAVE THIS SPACE!!!)

Step 11- Walk three times around the circle and chant grandis umbra adesdum repeatedly

Step 12- After completing the third walk around the circle, stand perfectly still facing the bowl

Step 13- Slowly lift your arm and cut it enough for the blood to drip into the bowl.

Step 14- Chant the following "Umbra, phasma, ater, animus, phasmatis, univorsus!"

Step 15- Repeat chant 13 times

Once the ritual is completed break the line of each circle.

"Who knew demon summoning was so much work," I groaned angrily. Also, what the hell Greg? This requires cutting myself. Whatever, I guess it's won't kill me. Sighing, I get to work preparing the ritual. Once everything was set up, I start the chant. After walking around the circle three times, I begrudgingly cut the back of my arm (because there are way too many nerve endings in my hand to risk cutting it) and let the blood drip down into the bowl. I chanted the final "spell" 13 times and then broke the chalk circles. I waited for about three minutes but got bored and gave up.

I was kind of angry that I went through through all of that trouble for nothing but reminded myself that in the end, this just helps prove me right. Ghost and demons aren't real. I huffed and began to clean up the mess made from the ritual. After I was done I started to head towards the door.

Suddenly my whole body froze and the air became colder than it already was. I quickly shook away my fear and whipped my head around to face the back of the room. There, in the corner, a

shadow began to rise and form the shape of something humanoid. Once again, fear took over my whole body and I couldn't move. The creature jerked its head to the side so it could look at

me. With its "face" turned toward me, I saw its two beady little eyes. God, I wish I hadn't though. Those eyes were red pools filled with hate and everything that I've ever feared. It started to get closer to me, making jerky movements as it moved forward. I wanted to run. To scream. To hide. But all I could do was stand there.

When the thing reached me, it leaned right next to my face. It was so close that I could feel its hot breath. Then, it spoke to me. In this horrible raspy voice. It cackled and said, "Finally, I'm back on earth. No one has summoned me for several millennia!" The creature looked around the room and stated," a lot has changed since I was last in the mortal realm." It looked back toward me and its smile grew impossibly large," You'll do very nicely dear"

I shivered as it addressed me. Just as I was about to gather the courage to ask it what it was talking about It slammed into me. The force sent me skidding backward and I hit the wall. When

I looked up, I saw a mirror image of myself. The other "me" straightened its clothing and turned to speak to me," Ah, that's better." When "I" spoke, It even sounded like me. I cried out and

scrambled up. I'd seen enough Gravity Falls to know that this thing just stole my body.

I ran at "me" but just passed right through my body. Stumbling, I tried again only to fail for a second time. The creature raised its hands and said," Listen, I like you kid. You're pretty brave. So, I'll make you a deal, you'll be stuck in this house until the six hundred and sixty-sixth person walks in. Until that person comes, you'll basically just be air. When that person gets here though, they will be the only ones who can see & hear you. After that, you will be attached

to that person instead of this house. If you can get said person to listen to you, they can help you get your body back." I froze in shock as the demon turned away from me and walked out of the room. The last thing I heard before the door closed was it telling my friends that they were idiots and that of course, the ritual didn't work because demons aren't real.

A/N

Holy Cow! That was a long one! I'm so glad it's over. I don't know if you guys could tell, but I was starting to rush towards the end. I'm really tired but also pretty proud of myself for getting

three chapters done today. For my last chapter of the day, I was hoping that you readers would say something in the comments. It doesn't have to make sense, for all I care you could just type

"The earth is flat sksksksk" I just want to know if people are actually reading this.

P.s- Please don't try to use that summoning spell. I left a lot of stuff out and you would literally

only be hurting yourself if you tried using it.

P.p.s- It's ridiculously hard to find a demon summoning spell. Like... I had to search 4 platforms-hard.
