Chapter One – The Summoning
15-year-old Reneey Umbra yawned softly as she turned over onto her back while holding her best friend Lyn's Death Note manga. "L's underwear!" she squealed in delight.
Lyn Elumo, 17, rolled her eyes. "I have a book collection that the public library is dying to get its hands on and you insist on reading the same manga page you've seen a thousand times?"
"… It's L… and his underwear showing… I don't care," Reneey grumbled.
"Oh, come on, at least drool over real guys!" Lyn reprimanded, pulling a DVD down from a different shelf. "The Covenant – real, hot, shirtless guys!"
Reneey whined. "But… I like L…"
"Well, I like Taylor Kitsch," Lyn said, smirking as she put the DVD into the player. "I loved him in this movie before everybody else discovered him as Gambit in X-Men Origins. Of course, I also loved Gambit before everybody discovered him as played by Taylor Kitsch in X-Men Origins, but that's a different rant."
"Well, I like the person who plays L in the movies and Scotty Vanity… Jeffree Starr… and a whole bunch of other people!" Reneey stuck out her tongue.
Lyn snickered. "Most of whom are gay. Both of the actual names you mentioned are gay guys. They wouldn't be interested."
Reneey growled. "Not Lady GaGa, not the person who plays L or the Scarecrow. And are you saying that Taylor would be interested in you?"
"Admittedly, probably not because there are much hotter girls in Hollywood and that is usually what guys base their attraction on. But I've got more of a shot than you do with a gay guy, a drawing, or someone who doesn't even speak English."
"Yeah, yeah – sure, rub it in my fucking face… And he does so speak English! He even did an interview, in English!"
Lyn grinned. "How would you know? You barely speak English." She shoved her friend playfully in the shoulder and scrolled through the menu. "Oh, yeah, you never saw the making of featurette! It's really cool; you get to see all the pulley systems and everything for the stunts and special effects."
Reneey hmphed and turned around, muttering a whatever as she continued to stare at the picture on the manga. She was 100% brat, and damn it, she would act like one.
"'The Summoning'?" Lyn read off the special features menu, blinking. "I don't remember seeing that before…"
"Oh, there's a book called The Summoning! I wanna get it… It looks all pretty and shiny…"
"I would repeat what they say about books and covers but I know you wouldn't listen," Lyn muttered, hitting the select button on the remote. "Maybe this is a promo for another movie? Ooh, wouldn't it be awesome if they made a sequel?!"
"I dunno… I guess that would be cool. Anyway, play it!"
"It is playing, dork," Lyn said, rolling her eyes.
"Wait, this is your movie, shouldn't you already know all the special additions…?"
"Uh… Apparently not? This is like… weird…"
On the screen was a mixture of rich, dark reds intermixed with black and purple. Apparently there was a cave, for it was all dark except for a small fire in the middle that held the only light. Around it, black smoke swirled… and chanting? It sounded like whispers in the wind.
Suddenly papers were flying and the skies started to get darker while the wind picked up.
"… Lyn… I don't feel too well," Reneey said as the put down the Death Note manga.
"… I feel like I'm going down a drain," Lyn said, shaking her head as if to clear it.
"… I feel…" These were the last words out of Reneey's mouth before she collapsed.
Lyn tried to get up but everything was spinning too quickly and she slid off the bed.

"We are soo going to get screwed over for this," Caleb said as he and Pogue bounced around in the back of Tyler's Hummer. Reid was driving and they were currently running from cops.
"Well, with that attitude, we will!" Reid snapped as he stepped on the pedal.
Caleb sighed. "Oh, hell – might as well have fun with it…"
"Are you all ready?" Pogue asked and they all nodded.
Reid smirked as his eyes turned black. "HARRY POTTER CAN KISS M—HOLY SHIT!"
Suddenly the car stopped, throwing the boys forward.
"Reid?!" Pogue yelled.
Down on the ground right in front of the Hummer were Reneey and Lyn, both unconscious right in front of the Sons of Ipswich.
"Why did you stop?! The cops are behind us!" Tyler yelled.
"No, man, there are these girls on the ground!" Reid objected. "If we didn't stop, we'd cream 'em!"
"What do you mean, girls on the ground?" Pogue asked.
"Get out and see for yourself!"
"Forget it! Just get them off the ground and let's get outta here – come on, Pogue," Caleb said as he got out of the car along with Pogue to retrieve the girls.
"I've never seen them around here," Caleb muttered.
"Must be new," Pogue said with a shrug as he picked up Lyn while Caleb lifted Reneey off the ground and they went back to the car.
"My car doesn't have enough seatbelts for six people," Tyler pointed out.
"Whatever, just hold onto them and let's do this before we end up in jail!" Reid ordered.
"Girls? You picked up a couple of stray girls on the road?"
Caleb frowned at his mother as he and Pogue put the two girls down on the couch.
"They're human beings, mother. You make them sound like animals."
Mrs. Danvers still looked disapproving but reined in her hostility a little. "Where did you find two teenage girls?"
"Just on the ground right outside the forest," Pogue said. "Anyway, I've got to go – thanks for the ride, man."
Pogue left and Caleb sighed like he was about to say something but Mrs. Danvers spoke up first, saying, "And what if the wake up and ransack the house?"
"Well, when they wake up, we can ask them some questions and then they can tell me where they live and I'll drive them home in the morning."
"They look like they live on the street," Mrs. Danvers said disapprovingly.
"No, they don't. They aren't streetwalkers, mother." Caleb sighed. His mother could be so bitter ever since his father had gone downhill.
Lyn groaned softly as she opened her eyes and squinted at the light. Every time she moved, pain would shoot through her body.
"Good, she's awake," Mrs. Danvers said. "Now figure out where you can take her to get her out of my house."
Lyn tried to blink things into focus. "Who are you? Where's Reneey?"
"Your friend? She's next to you. I'm Caleb and this is my mother."
"Mm?" Lyn squinted again. Everything was still really fuzzy but this definitely wasn't the Caleb she had gone to school with. "Obviously not Caleb Murray so I'm guessing I don't know you. Where the heck am I and why do I feel like I've been hit by a semi?"
"Well, you're at my house and me and my friends found you on the road. Would you like some water…?"
Mrs. Danvers grumbled, "First you bring them into the house, then they want food…"
"Mother!" Caleb sighed. "I'm sorry about my mom…"
Lyn chuckled darkly. "Hey, she's better than my mom; she hasn't thrown me down the stairs yet." She pushed herself into a sitting position then held a hand to either side of her head in an attempt to stop the spinning. "At least, not that I recall, but last I remember I was in my room, so that's kinda screwed up…"
Reneey groaned as she woke up, blinking. "Why the hell do I feel like I died and then came back?" She coughed. "And where the fuck am I?"
"Oh, and their language! Caleb, I don't know what do to with you!" Mrs. Danvers growled. "Well? Find out where they live so they can leave!"
"Hey, I don't cuss," Lyn objected. "But fine, if you're gonna be rude, are we on the east or west side of town?"
"Um, you're in the west," Caleb answered. "By, the way, who are you two…?"
"Oh, I'm Reneey and she's Lyn… Can I like… get water?"
Before Mrs. Danvers could say anything, Caleb shot her a look. "Sure – ice?"
"Oh, yes, please!"
Lyn's vision was mostly clear now and she blinked at Caleb. "… Uh… What did you say your name was again…?"
"Caleb – Caleb Danvers," he answered as he went to the kitchen to get Reneey something to drink.
Lyn paled and caught Reneey's eye. "Uhh… I don't think he can drive us home from here."
"… Yeah… um… we… uh…" Reneey was at a loss for words as she realized where they were. "Got lost?"
"Got lost across state lines?" Lyn hissed in a what-the-heck-is-wrong-with-you voice.
Reneey shrugged and said without words, 'I don't know!'
"Right, well, we can figure out how to get you two home," Caleb told the girls as he came back with water.
"I highly doubt that," Lyn muttered.
