Kenai:
It's 04:00 pm, the rain is over, Rosario told me what happened this morning. So I call Tanana and Father Wallace to help us, Denahi also called saying that he'll bring some one, their new workmate. Rosario leaved a message to Sitka because he still working.
Tonight I want all of you tonight Give me everything tonight For all we know we might not get tomorrow Let's do it tonight
I take a look to Rosario's phone, it say's Gordo on the screen.
-Rosario your phone!
-Is Sitka, thanks- she says taking her phone- Wey what's up...yeah we already called Nana to help us...yeah yeah we're fine. Kenai is here with me...okay let me put on the speaker.
-Can you hear me?
-Yeah we hear you.
-Hey Sitka-I tell him
-Kenai how you doing?
-Little tired and still hurts, but happy to be alive.
-(laugh) I'm glad to hear youre fine. And Koda?
-He's making his backpack, I asked Tanana if he can spend the day...even the night with her.
-And?
-She accepted.
-Excellent, I'll also bring some one that knows this stuff.
-Is not your girlfriend, right?-says Rosario on a tasing tone.
-Put on video call.
-Okay it's done.
Once we both see Sitka he shows Rosario his middle finger, seconds after a woman gets on the car, is Esmeralda, his partener we met yesterday.
-Hey guys!-Esmeralda
-Hi
-How you both doing?
-Pretty well-I say.
-Esmeralda knows about this things, so we passed to her appartment to take some stuff with us.
-Great, Tanana and Father wallace will arrive soon, Nana will take Koda and Saya with her.
-Excellent, well see you at home.
-Bye.
...
Tanana is about to leave with Koda and Saya, when we see Sitka and Esmeralda entering by the front door. Esmeralda is carryin a big backpack, I don't want to even imagine what kind of stuff it's inside.
-Esmeralda- say Tanana and the father at the same time surprised.
-Tanana? Father Wallace?
-Wait-Rosario-You know each other?
-Yeah-Father Wallace-Her mother was a close friend of the last family that lived here.
Wait a second, last family?
Suddenly Denahi appears with an acian guy about his age.
-Hello every one, I'm Tadashi and I'm here to help you with some of the history of this house.
-He's our workmate, and Rosario's boyfriend.
-Denahi!-Rosario
-Wait a minute-says Sitka surprised-What do you mean by boyfriend?
-Oh no-no sir-says Tadashi with fear on his voice- I'm jus your daughter's friend that's all I swear
-Eh...Tadashi-Denahi-This is Sitka, my brother.
-Oh, in that case...sorry I thought you were her father.
-Rosario you have a boyfriend?-I ask her smiling.
-Of course not!
-But...-Koda-we thought you were lesbian.
-I'M NOT LESBIAN!
Latter
I'ts been an hour that Tanana and Koda have leaved, Esmeralda told us that we will do a ritual to invoke the spirit that haunts the house, just that...is not a spirit...but a demon. She told us that she feels presences, a slight one, means spirit, but a strong one, demon. The presence she feels is strong, so we have to get ready to the worst.
My brothers, Tadashi and I move away the couches to do the ritual wile she, Rosario and Father Wallace close all the courtains and prepare the stuff Esmeralda brought. She starts to draw a star of five points with graffiti paint, then she adds some strange simbols inside and outside the star, she concludes by drawing a circle around the star.
-What is this?-I ask her.
-Is a demon's trap, once inside the circle, the bastard is trapped.
I step forward to see it closer but Esmeralda stops me with a hand.
-Careful, if you brake the circle the demon can find a way out.
-Oh, sorry.
Then I step back, I have to be careful then. Suddenly my brothers appear with five black candles that they put on each point of the star, then Rosario brings four small metal bowls, Esmeralda takes them and fills each one with an element representing nature: soil, to represent earth, water, gunpowder, to represent fire and the last one leaves it empty representing air. Once the elements ready, Esmeralda puts them on the trap creating a square. Father Wallace and Tadashi have also bring a metal bathtub that then they fill with ice and water.
Every thing is ready to beggin.
-We just need one more thing-Esmeralda
-What is it?-Denahi
-A vessel.
-What do you mean?-Sitka
-To invoke the demon, we need someone that gets possessed by it, so we can talk to him.
-Órale jalo.
-You won't do anything!-Sitka-I'll be the vessel.
-And the mark on your wrist?-Rosario.
At those words Esmeralda gets a worry look.
-What mark?
-This one-says my brother showing his wrist.
Esmeralda looks at it with horror.
-You can't be the vessel Sitka, the demon has marked you. If he possesses you, he'll be strong enough to get out of the trap.
Sitka doesn't look convinced at all, and it's normal. He'll prefer that something bad happened to him than to us. But if Esmeralda is right, he'll put all of us in danger, and he knows that. Sitka is not stupid, so he accepts even if he doesn't like the idea.
Rosario gets in the middle of the start and sits on a lotus position. Father Wallace does a little pray so everything goes fine.
Okay, let's start.
Esmeralda starts to say a conjuring on a foreign language, I think is Romanian. She starts to say it with calm but on a deep tone, then she starts to repeat it each time harder and louder.
All the sudden, the lights start to blink, the doors start to slam, but the worst part...is Rosario.
She looks up at the same time her eyes become white and starts to convulse.
Esmeralda keeps saying the conjuring hard and loud, when from the basement, comes out a dark smoke. It passes flying in front of us 'till it gets into my sister's mouth.
Rosario heads down, she doesn't move...
Wait a second...she's lifting her look and...her eyes are normal.
-That's all?-Rosario
Esmeralda gets up, upset because the spell didn't work.
-Esmeralda-Sitka-Esmeralda.
-Putain de merde!
Okay She's mad now.
-Do not get out of the circle-she tells my sister before getting into the kitchen.
Sitka follows her leaving the rest of us on the living room.
-So...what do we do now?-Denahi
-We wait 'till Esmeralda finds out what went wrong-Tadashi
-And how long it will take?-I ask
-Boys-Father Wallace
We turn to see the Father pointing with his look my sister.
She's getting up slowly, the head down, her french braid and her cap on backwards let us see that her skin became white as a corpse.
This isn't good.
-Sitka-Denahi-Sitka you better come.
Esmeralda and Sitka get to the living room, impressed as us. Rosario lifts slowly her head but...her eyes are not the same. They're dark and have some black veins around them. Even her lips and saliva are black.
That...that thing is not my sister.
-Kneel-Esmeralda tells her.
-Esmeralda, it's me-says Rosario with a demonic voice.
-In the name of God kneel!-Father Wallace showing a crusifix.
The creature puts its hands in front looking away and making a cry, but obeys Father Wallace.
-What's your name-Esmeralda
-I have no name. I'm nobody.
-Why are you tormenting this family?
-I'm just a hand. My master is more powerful.
-Who's your master pinche perro?-Sitka
-Hello Sitka.
-Answer the question-Esmeralda-Who's your master?
-Mommy and daddy are gone. And now you're gonna die. And then the rest of your family. And you will not be there to protect them.
-Who's your master?!-she says on a strong tone.
-The witch.
-What?
-Find the witch. You find my master.
The witch? What does that means?
-Is it true that...what happens to a twin happens to the other one?
Twins? Twins...twins, twin-wolves.
Oh no.
I turn at my left and I see Denahi falling to the floor. Tadashi and I approach to him, he starts to convulse and his eyes become white.
-Denahi! Denahi!
All the sudden he stops, he's not moving, his eyes are closed. Then his skin starts to become pale and his lips black. Also from around his eyes start to appear black veins.
And when he opens his eyes...those are...
Black.
NO!
