The Beginning

Shawna and Marissa were horrified by the smoke they saw. Their hands clasped and their gaping mouths trembled.

Not only did they see it smoke but the smoke formed into a large creature with no legs

and with an old cape wrapped around its body. He was holding a sickle in one

hand as he put on the hood in his head. Inside the hood, they can clearly see its skull head. Its empty eyes will give you so much panic because these looks he is giving to everyone seem to want to kill you.

Shawna tries to tap Briseis back because she is really scared.

Shawna Point of View

I can't believe what I am seeing right now. I could feel not only my mouth trembling but also my two legs that at any moment would want to give up from standing.

I've been trying to tap Briseis but she doesn't give me any attention. It looks like she does not care about our presence and was busy with what she was doing right now. Everything about her really changed. I feel like she is no longer the Briseis we knew. Her laughs, her weird smiles, her widened eyes, and the expression on her face are too far away from the Briseis we know. I'm scared of her too.

Now my hands were cold, gripping Shawna's hand tightly. I observed my friends but they were all stunned by the smoke in front of us. I can clearly see the fear in their eyes. I just closed my eyes so I will not see the scary form of the creature in front of us. Hopefully when I open it is no longer here.

I don't want to see it, especially its empty eyes. I feel so heavy in my chest even though I'm not looking at it. What more if I'm staring at that monstrous creature? I feel like that creature is stabbing me over and over again. I wanted to run away from this place but I was preoccupied with nervousness and what Briseis could do to me. She is my friend but I am afraid of her

I could feel the shiver in Marissa's hand. I wanted to talk to her but I knew nothing would come out of my mouth but just a whisper, a whisper that only I could hear.

I was horrified by the words coming out of Briseis 'mouth as if she was talking to the creature in front of us. She spoke weakly but I knew her words were in another language because I could not understand a single word coming out of his mouth. I seemed to have a nightmare while awake as I listened to her faint whispers that I think would disturb my mind every day. I will certainly never forget it!

Argh! I am starting to hate this. How I wish they will finish it right away! I hate it! I started thinking of turning my back on our promises. I don't like what we are doing anymore. It's so scary!

I really want to come home to our house and hide in my blanket. Hopefully, this won't take long and the ritual will end immediately. I'm afraid that we are just putting ourselves in danger.

Marissa Point of View

My heart jumped as I saw smoke enter the floor where we were gathering. I followed it with a stare and asked myself where it was going. It stood in front of us and where Briseis was near.

I almost fainted at what I saw. I feel like I'm having a nightmare and I want to wake up

if it's just a dream. I immediately averted my eyes when it was about to meet the eyes of that frightening creature.

Its face looks decaying. Its eyes are empty and you can only see black. An unending black! Too scary and discouraging. I seem to want to cry!

What is this creature? Black element or a demon? I wanted to stop Briseis but we're already here and we already started the ritual. I also don't know what I should do and I can't think straight right now.

Should I just run? But how about them? How about my friends? I can't leave them here alone!

I feel like Briseis is out of her mind which I am so worried about. Who knows if she is already insane and does not know what she was doing. I'm afraid she is doing everything wrong!.

Who in their right mind would try to kill someone as he did before with Kyle.

And what is it? What is Briseis saying from then until now? A Latin word her and

I don't understand! I know she didn't know those words but now she seemed to have

memorized them all. As I look at her and listen to her, she is like a cult that is very good at doing

This

And Kyle?

What if he reported us after this? I can't understand Briseis why she even

included this man. I knew Kyle like her a lot but it was still possible for him to

report us especially that she attempted to kill her earlier. I want to slap Briseis hard

so that she wakes up on what sh*t she was doing right now but when I'm just looking at Briseis and I am already wrapped in nervousness. The aura she gives

is creepy, heavy, and terrifying.

I looked at Kyle. His eyes widened as he stared at that creature. His mouth is open and some flies can enter. I don't know what they're thinking right now. Like me, they can't run and move either. But please I hope they don't do such things that can make Briseis angry. Who knows what she would do!

She might try to kill us all. I am too sad when thinking about on what she can do to us. I know we are friends and that is why I'm in depressed.
