Necro

Kyle opened his eyes and to his surprise, he saw five people standing in front of him and looking at him too. His eyes averted to the candles and salt forming a circle on the space of the floor. To him, it was like they were conducting a ritual.

Kyle felt the cold and sharp steel pressing towards his neck. He could feel the sharp edge of something that looked like it wanted to pierce his neck.

"Oh, you are already awake. Well, good. Tell them that you came to me willingly," Briseis said when she noticed that Kyle was already awake. "Tell them that you told me you are willing to do anything for me."

Kyle breathes heavily. His heart is pounding. Briseis voice gave him chills.

"What is this, Briseis?" Kyle asked her. "Why am I tied like this? Let me go! What are you holding in your hand? Are you trying to kill me?"

Briseis pressed the knife in her hand into Kyle's neck trying to threaten him.

"I am asking you, boy," Briseis whispered to Kyle's ear but those whispers are not just an ordinary whisper of a woman but a whisper that gives Kyle a nightmare.

Those low voices of Briseis seem to be haunted.

"I do come with you but I never said that I let you kill me!" Kyle said and looked at Brisesis' friends who were silently watching him. "Guys! Help me! What are you doing? Are you just letting Briseis kill me?! Are you trying to make me an offering? You guys are sick! Let me go before I call the police! If this is a prank it is not funny!"

Bret stepped forward to stop Briseis from what she was doing but she was stopped when Briseis looked at him.

He was horrified by what he saw. Briseis's face was strange. Her face seemed to grow old. Even the maiden's eyes were frightening. They were deep and big while staring sharply at him.

"Do you want to take his place Bret?" Briseis asked her friend. "Well, I don't care whether you want to die in his place. It is not a problem. I just need an offering and it doesn't matter who it is."

"Are you crazy Briseis?" Marissa asked the girl. "You're committing a crime! When you kill him you're a murderer! You can rot in jail for what you're doing! Stop this please, it was not part of our agreement."

"Grrr.. why do I have to argue with these young idiots!" Briseis said loudly to herself as if her friends were not there.

"She is insane!" Shawna said to her friends. "She seems to be another person! Briseis is not like that! What if she was possessed by an evil spirit?"

Kyle who feels like he needed to do something stands up and uses the chair to push away Briseis from him. He succeeded and manage to run away from her.

Briseis stand up while laughing intensely like she was already crazy.

"Fine! I got it! Then let us just start the ritual and offer someone later," Briseis said to them and stop laughing.

Briseis ordered his colleagues to enter inside the circle formed in the center of the building.

They wanted to disagree but in the end, they can't do anything because they were scared of Briseis's gaze on them. She also accused them of promising that they were not going to back out and it was already decided that they will do the ritual no matter what happens.

Kyle has also been included in the ritual. He cannot do anything and was forced to follow what the group was doing.

At the same time, they shouted the name Necro while Briseis seemed to be a witch uttering a Latin word in a tone of almost whispering.

The group does not know what Briseis is saying and what she was implying to do while holding the open book in her hand but they keep on doing the things that Briseis told them.

"Deus autem mors, Necro. Nunc nobis citatus, accedas. Et ostende te nobis dona, in desideria cordis commutatione vitae. Promitto tibi tribuas vitam optamus nos si id facere, tunc nobis!" Briseis whispered while her eyes are closed.

(God of Death, Necro. We summon you right now. Show yourself and grant our heart's desires in exchange for life. We promise to offer you life after you grant our wish if we fail to do so, then take our lives!)

"Deus autem mors, Necro. Nunc nobis citatus, accedas. Et ostende te nobis dona, in desideria cordis commutatione vitae. Promitto tibi tribuas vitam optamus nos si id facere, tunc nobis!"

The full moon began to hide in the sky. Even the stars there hid in the clouds. A bolt of long lightning drew in the sky and after that, the loud sound of thunder followed like it was mad.

The strong wind blew along and the raindrops started to fall on the ground.

A black smoke traveled towards the abandoned building where Briseis and her friend were having a ritual.

Candle flames almost die with the force carried by the wind but it does not completely die.

The black smoke circle around the building and it was fast as lightning when it moves. It stopped on the floor where Briseis is standing.

"He is here," Briseis said to her friends and open her eyes.
