"Rise thee, O Ancient Deity of the Night Sky. Bring forth thy power and grant the wish of thy humble servant."
Minutes passed in silence as the two siblings in the room waited expectantly.
"I don't think it's working," Tyler Kingson finally pointed out to his adoptive sister. The bowl of shepherd's pie she had set in the middle of the summoning circle lay unmoving; unless there was something minuscule eating away at the 'offering' crumb by crumb, it was obviously still untouched.
"I can see that, Tyler," she replied matter-of-factly. She stared at it for a brief moment, then sighed and tossed the book she held aside. "Go get some sponges. Mom and dad will freak out if they see this."
"Sure," he nodded, though he really didn't want to. He had drawn that circle himself, and he was quite proud of how close he had gotten to the image portrayed in the book.
But she was right. Their parents wouldn't be too happy to see some weird design painted on his sister's floor. Even if it wasn't technically painted; Tyler had sketched it with a black marker.
Tyler grabbed some sponges from the utility closet, and a bucket. There was a bathroom connected to his sister's room so he would fill it up when he returned.
"I brought a bucket-" Tyler halted in his tracks. There was water spreading across the circle, along with shards of glass. Besides the pie, his sister had also placed a bottle of vodka in the circle. How had it ended up broken?
He peered at the bowl and his heart nearly stopped. It was licked clean, as if someone had eaten it.
Dropping the bucket and sponges, Tyler raced to her bathroom, but she wasn't there. He headed out and searched the rest of the house. Maybe she was just hiding, maybe this was some kind of joke or something. Maybe the missing pie was coincidence, she could have been peckish.
Deep down, Tyler knew he was lying to himself. And as his efforts grew more hopeless, Tyler knew he had to accept the truth:
The summoning had worked.
And whatever had been summoned had taken his sister with it.
