Chapter 1: Fun With Friends
September 10th, 2001
It is the end of the summer, and I'm out on my scooter with my friends, Jake and Katie. They are dating and the three of us are best friends. I yelled to Jake "Watch out for the curb!" He looked back while zipping toward the edge of the road and he flipped end over end in to the grass. "Wow, thanks for the help Misty!" Jake said sarcastically. Katie went to help him up while I was laughing my ass off. Suddenly, while I looked at him I swore I saw a red wisp come from his body, but it went away when I blinked. "Weird." I said to myself. "What's weird?" asked Katie. "Oh nothing," I replied, "my eye just spazzed for a sec." "OoooK" Katie said. Jake got up and we went down to the bakery to get some cream pies to throw at our enemy, Mark's house. When we got there, I asked for 3 pies, but the shopkeeper, Joe, said "You folks are gunna waste my pies on some kids house, aren't you?" "No we aren't, Joe, I promise you." "You better be telling the truth." Joe said as he rang us up. We rode back to our street and we stopped at marks house." We drew back our arms and threw the pies. They flew in a perfect arc and splatted against the front of the house. We laughed and rode off. We heard Mark's mom in the distance cursing at us. "Hey guys its almost lunch Time, I gotta go home and grab some grub!" I said. "Ok, we are going to go back to Katie's house to have some, fun, if you know what I mean!" Jake replied. "Ha! Nice, see ya guys later!" I said.
Chapter 2: The Darkness Begins
September 10th, 2001
As I rode home I watched the birds and then suddenly a small chick fell from a tree, trying to fly. I stopped and got off of my scooter to help it. "Oh, you poor thing, I'll help you." I told it. As I walked forward a distinct red mist was emanating from it, thinking it was my eye again I didn't bother. I went toward it and started to lean down to pick it up. Suddenly, in the back of my brain I heard a distinct "Do it." And then I blacked out for a second and in a dizzy spell, I fell. I shook off the dizziness and I looked at the bird. It was squished to a bloody pulp. "Oh my god!" I said. Then I smelled something bad. I looked at the bottom of my shoe, and there was bloody guts on the bottom of it. "Oh Go-" I stopped when I threw up on the ground next to me. In a confused daze I scraped the guts off and then got back on my scooter. I rode home while crying. When I arrived, my mom said "Do you want some lunch?" Still nauseated, I said "No thanks" "What's wrong, ha- have you been crying?" she asked. I said "No, just allergies." Then I went to my room. What is wrong with me? One moment I was going to help the bird, and the next I was stomping on it. I swore I heard a voice, but that makes no sense. The phone rang, I picked it up and it was Jake: "Hey aren't you gunna come hang out with us?" "Nah, I'm not feeling to good." I replied "Oh, ok well then you rest, see ya dude!" He said. "Yeah, bye." I said as I hung up.
Chapter 3: The Nightmare
September 10th, 2001
Feeling queasy still I went to bed. In my dream I was in a large empty dark space. An echoing and whispering voice said. "Whaaat you diiid was goooood…" I suddenly woke up feeling good about myself. It was quickly dispersed when I remembered what I had done to the poor bird. It was weird thinking how I could have felt good about what I did for even a second. I suddenly saw someone standing in my room, it was dark so I only saw a silhouette. Thinking it was my little brother, I said "hey Monty, how did you get in here without waking me up?" Suddenly the silhouette moved across the room quickly, almost like floating, and went out of my door without breaking it. Then my bed violently shook for half a second and my light bulb lit up on its own and exploded. Freaking out, I went under my blanket and started screaming. That's when I heard a growling coming from outside my blanket. I looked out of the blanket to find a large space around me, burning with huge flames and I heard chanting in tongues as I felt pure evil creeping up my spine. I yelled as loud as I could, and then I suddenly woke up, realizing that there was a translucent greenish slime covering my door. "What the fuck?" I said to myself. Trying to examine it I turned on my lamp, but realized that the bulb was shattered. "Oh my god!" I said. My dad came in and yelled "shut up! It is three in the mor-, what the hell?" He looked at the slime covered door and became confused. "What the hell is this?!" he asked, "it smells horrible, what did you do!" "I didn't do anything! It just appea-" I stopped when suddenly I felt my consciousness move to the back of my head. I saw nothing but heard a deep demonic voice echo: "Fuck you bastard, go burn in hell!" I regained normal control and my dad gave me an angry look full of disbelief. He ran at me and grabbed me by my ear. "Ow, it wasn't me it wasn't me!" I yelled. He dragged me outside and said "you are going to sleep outside for the rest of the night smart-mouth." I felt myself leave my mind again, but this Time, since I was angry at my dad, it felt good to hear the evil voice cuss him out "You fucking Christian scum, I will kill you and your family!" I returned to myself. My dad slapped me and said "what the hell has gotten into you!" as he stormed back in to the house.
Chapter 4: Truth Realization
September 11th, 2001
I got up and went to Jake's house to sleep over there. I knocked on his window, and he came to open it. "What the hell are you doing here?!" he asked. "My dad kicked me out of the house." I replied. "Well sucks for you dude, I'm not letting you in!" Suddenly, I felt myself grow angry, and I started yelling at him in the deep evil voice, but I didn't feel myself leaving my mind this Time, I felt like it was really me who was yelling. I then saw my arms reach out and watched my hands wrap around his throat. I saw the red mist from before start to emanate around him. As I saw his life leave his body the red mist grew and grew around him. I suddenly realized that I was killing my own best friend. So I regained control and stopped choking him. Coughing and wheezing he ran from the window, yelling "What the fuck! What the fuck is wrong with you!" "I'm so sorry, I'm ju- I'm" I said as I ran away. I stopped. I felt the evil control me again and I heard the voice in my head say "turn back and finish the job!" "No, no I can't, aaaaaaagh!" I yelled as the evil took over again. I ran back to the house and yelled through the closed and locked window. "You fucker, come out here and fight me like a man" I was trying to relinquish the evil and I looked in disbelief at my reflection in the window, I had eyes that are completely blacked out, and teeth as sharp as a shark's. "come out, come out you filth!" the voice yelled through the window again. "Daaad! Dad help meeee!" Jake yelled. "I don't think so" the evil voice said as the door suddenly locked so his father couldn't come in. "If you won't come out, I'll have to bring you to ME"! The demonic voice said as the window exploded and sent glass flying everywhere. Jake was jolted as he started floating with the evil force pulling him toward the window. My uncontrolled arms reached out and started strangling Jake. The emanating red aura grew again then turned black as his body became lifeless, just hanging in the air. "HAAAAHAAAAHAAAA! time to get rid of you, permanently!" the voice said as it said in Latin: "iam vitualamen vos ut Diabolus , permissum mihi messor vestri animus!" A white glowing mist came from Jake's mouth and went into mine, the black aura around him disappeared. As the apparent soul went into my mouth, I felt great, and powerful, like I could do anything. I felt though, like I need more. I tried asking my evil voice what it was. It told me "I am a powerful demon, sent by the antichrist himself to make you his powerful servant." "Why me? I am a Christian, I don't want to be a…a… servant of the antichrist!" I said. "You have been chosen because of your power to sense the aura of pain and death, so that I…we can harvest souls with ease." "That feeling of the soul that I ate, why did I feel so good?" "It is like having the energy of two people at once, it is exhilarating!" The demon said, "to feel this feeling more I ask you to join me Misty, let us fuse together" "O……ok" I said. Suddenly, I felt the evil creep up my spine, and I realized I have made a blind mistake. "Wait no-" I said, but it was too late, he had become me, and I him. "It's Time for Jake's little girlfriend." We said as we turned into a dark, cloudy mist and flew off in the night toward our next victim.
