"Ok, here it is! The last known book that will lead us to the master of the dark arts!" Sarah said excitedly as she pulled a book down from her bookshelf in her room. I nodded and looked around her room first, wondering how she kept the things she did secret. Her bed had dark purple covers on it and an array of purple pillows, she had too tables next to her bed, one had a lamp on it and the other had another book laying out on it. She had two windows on the wall the bed was on and they had white curtains on them. She had dark grey carpet, the door was on the opposite wall directly in front of the bed so when you walked in the bookshelves were on your left, on your right she had a desk with pencils and pens on it. To the left of the desk was a little chair with books scattered around it, I guess she's been learning about this... Or something else. But about the things she kept secret, the first thing was those books, I'm sure someone saw the titles when she put them up so where did she hide them when someone was in here, and she also had weapons hidden in in her dresser that was at the end of her bed.
"Okami?"
I jumped out of my thoughts and looked at Sarah, "Sorry, thinking." I chuckled.
She chuckled as well, "You've been staring off into space a lot, you good?"
"Yea, just a lot on my mind with all this stuff that just happened out of nowhere."
"Yea, that is a pretty good reason" We laughed. I looked at the book she had, the book was black with a white skull that had red eyes on it, the eyes looked like rubies.
"So, about the book. Let me see it." I said, taking it from her when she handed it to me. I opened the book and the first thing I saw was a guide for a ritualistic summoning. I looked at Sarah and raised my eyebrows.
"Yea, probably should've told you about those." She chuckled nervously. I smiled and looked back into the book I then flipped to page 321 and read through it.
"Well, if I ever needed to know how I now know how to dissect a person while they are still alive." I said, mentally gagging.
"So, do you know what page it is?" I looked up at Sarah.
"Around page 437 I think..." She mumbled.
I nodded and flipped to page 437, she was spot on.
"Ok, it says that we need to go to the mountain, where we were before, and we need to make a doll like this-" I said showing her.

"Does it show what she actually will look like?" I asked.
"Yea, I think it's the next page, along with her companion Izzy." She said flipping the page:

"Woah, they look so cool! But, why do they only have one arm?" I looked at her with a confused face

"Woah, they look so cool! But, why do they only have one arm?" I looked at her with a confused face.
"Well, dark arts aren't really supposed to be practiced. So their punishment was having their arms frozen and then broken with a hammer..." She mumbled. My eyes widened in shock, that's such a horrible thing to do... Then again practicing the dark arts is pretty bad as well-
*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Okami Takahashi and Sarah Sweet? This is the police! We have reports of screaming coming from your house Miss Takahashi, some of you neighbors say it was your mother. And others say they saw you two walking out a couple of minutes after the screaming stopped. We'd like to ask you a few questions!" A voice called outside. I looked at Sarah in panic.
"Shit..." We said in unison.
