The next day Amanda woke up and she went to school. When she arrived at the school door she saw Kristian.
"Hey!" Kristian said. "Today I'll teach you how to dance!"
"Don't even try"
"Ok, but look at this" Kristian showed Amanda a piece of paper. "This is the dance we are gonna learn. If you want to know the steps you have to follow me."
"Do you think you can do this?" Amanda asked.
"I hope so, I need this to my night work"
"Night work?"
"Yeah, you know what, I'm a stripper!"
"I... hmm... I have to go to class. See ya!" Amanda ran away as fast as she could.
Then she found Omar in the corridor.
"Hey Amanda, look at this" Omar showed her a picture of a dark alley
"Why are you showing me this?"
"It's a alley, a place where there are all kind of creatures"
"I don't believe you, it's probably a trick. The only creature I have found on an alley was Nauzet yesterday"
"It's true," Omar said. "It's a real alley and the creature I'm talking about is in there."
"Yeah, yeah, whatever" Amanda said. She left him and headed to class.
Omar said to her silently "Amanda, one day you will meet something dangerous from the world below, I feel it, you better be careful, or they will take you to their world"
Amanda looked to him, but he wasn't there anymore.
"Omar? Where did you go?"
Nothing answered.
"... Shit... My arms can handle this more time" A voice said from the window.
"Who is there?" Amanda said.
Omar was hanging from the window. "Hey, I wanted to use my pow... I mean my gymnastic skills to look good, but I realized that it wouldn't be easy to do it at school, pretend I had mystically disappeared"
"What are you doing here?" Amanda said.
"Oh, you are slow minded... bye" Omar fell down and disappeared in the ground in blue fire.
Later Amanda arrived at the classroom and she sat in her seat, she looked at Omar's empty seat. But then she noticed that Kristian was sitting on her chair.
"Oh, Hi Amanda!"
"Hi!" Amanda said. "So, what are you doing here?"
"I'm waiting for you so I can give you advice, I'm your friend, don't you forget that."
"Kristian you are weird as fuck, you know were did Omar went, he like... turn into fire... so I guess he is dead." Amanda said.
"Yeah, I know, but he is coming back, don't worry."
Amanda looked to her desk and she saw Omar's cellphone. She picked it up and saw that there was a message from him.
The text said ".̸͉̫͇͆́r̵̘͖̠̽̽͘e̸͚͓̪̾͊͌n̵̝̺͍̈́͊n̸̦͓͇̾͝͠i̴̦͔͎̾̕͝d̵͚͓̙̒͊͠ r̴͇̝͕͐̓͠o̵̫͙͐͜͝f̴̞͍̠̓͆̚ e̸̟͎̼̒͌͋t̴̻͎͇̐̒̈́a̵͇͇̟͊͑͆l̵̺̺̝̓̒̿ e̸̢͔̦͊͋͑b̸̘͎͇̐̈́͐ t̵͓̼͚́̈́͘'̵̪͉̀̾̿͜n̸͓͚̦̒͘o̵̠͚͕̔͛̈́d̵̢͔͚͆͋͘ ,̵̡̞͊̐͆͜y̴͇͕͇͋̓e̴͍͇͊̈́̚͜n̵̪̪͉͌͒́o̴̻͔̽̓͋͜H̵̢̟͚̒͑̿"
"What does it say?" Kristian asked.
"WTF, First blue fire explosion, and now this. What did I smoke yesterday? Did Nauzet really give me the candies?"
"I don't know, but you should be careful. I'm sure Omar is not a bad guy, but you never know."
"Thanks, Kristian, I will" Amanda said and she left.
Amanda went to the recess and ran into Nestor.
"Hello," he said.
"Hi, how are you?"
"Great, but I still haven't forgotten how you treated me yesterday so-"
"Yeah, shut up. You know Omar, right? It's Omar a wizard, Satanic Cultist?" Amanda asked Nestor.
Nestor's eyes widened for a moment, but then his face relaxed.
"Wizard? Satanic cultists?"
"Yeah, that's what I said, he left his phone here, so I wanted to read his messages."
"You stole his phone?! Give me that!"
Nestor took it from her hands, he turned it on and read the messages.
"What the hell is this?" He was reading the message. "... No"
"What? What is it?"
"That's not a message, it's… a text... I think there is something wrong with this phone, because I can't read anything else, and it looks like no one has been using this phone since a long time ago."
"What do you mean?" Amanda said. "Omar just came to me and showed me a photo of an alley like the one near my house, like that by the face"
"I wonder why he would want to tell you about an alley, what do you think it means?"
"I don't know, but we need to get Omar to stop this nonsense."
"Nonsense?" A voice replied, It was Omar's voice.
"Omar!?" Amanda asked, but nobody replied, Omar wasn't around.
"Omar? What are you talking about? We are about to look for him, remember?" Nestor said he didn't hear anything.
"What's going on here?" Amanda asked.
"What append?" Nestor said.
"I heard Omar!" Amanda said.
"What did you hear?" Nestor asked.
"Oh, don't do that" Omar's voice said in Amanda's mind. "Don't tell him, anything"
"What?" Amanda asked, she looked at Nestor.
"What did he say?"
"I don't know, I don't know what he said."
"You hear him?" Nestor said, puzzled.
"Uh... I need to go..." Amanda said.
Amanda left the recess somewhat scared, she didn't know what was happening, she walked into the darkness of the toilet.
"So... Are you going to listen to me" Omar's voice said. Amanda looked all over the place, but didn't see Omar.
"Yes..." Amanda said.
"Good, I'm glad, but I have to ask you something"
"Yeah?"
"Are you afraid?"
"Of course not, why would I be?"
"Then look into the mirror"
Amanda did. She couldn't see anything... She looked again. She saw Omar, or it was Omar? It was a Shadow, a horrifying shadow, its eyes were yellow, its pupils blue; it had the silhouette of Omar, he was different, his skin was dark gray, he had horns and bat-like wings, it was terrifying, something from another world.
"What's up?" Omar said in a tone to soften the tension of the moment.
"Don't touch me!" Amanda screamed.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to show you a part of me, I'm also something from another world. You now... Hell…"
"Omar, please don't scare me like that ever again! I don't want to see that thing! I don't want to see that monster, I'm scared!"
"That is my true form, I am a demon, from hell, a blue character demon associated with sulfur flames, tides and the storms"
"A demon?" Amanda asked.
"Yes"
"And you are telling me this?"
"Yes"
"Because..."
"If you don't want to be hurt, you have to believe me. The thing is that, according to my hypothesis, there are demons that do want to harm you, listen to me, my family works for King Solomon's Ars Goetia, we are not saints, but we do not seek to harm anyone "
"Alright, but I still don't trust you!"
"Okay… So, let's move out, I'm hungry, I think we could eat something"
"Ok." Amanda agreed. "By the way, what demons eat?"
"We eat humans, of course"
Amanda took a step back, she was very scared.
"Haha. It was just a joke only a few one do that, the rich ones like me can afford rich human food like Kentucky Fried Chicken "
"KFC?" Amanda asked.
"Yes, it's a fast-food restaurant, the best of chicken, I love the spicy"
"Let's get out of here" Amanda said.
She left the bathroom and they entered a classroom.
"I don't understand, why would you try to scare me like that?" Amanda asked.
"I mean, if I had done it in my human form without seeing my true form you would have simply believed that I was high on weed."
"Okay, but you shouldn't do that ever again."
"Hey, I'm sorry, but I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth, I think you are too intelligent to be fooled by an illusion like that. You should protect yourself from evil presences"
"How can I protect myself from a demon?" Amanda asked.
"There are many ways, but one of them is to pray to know, the one you pray to in church. Use holy water, crosses, etc. Fill the rooms of your house with salt"
"Salt?" Amanda asked.
"Salt is very powerful against demons… and insects, how I hate them"
"I don't know anything about this stuff, I'm Catholic, I barely believe in God, I don't know much about demons"
"Here, take this" Omar gived her a blue pentagram necklace. "Use this to invoke me if you are in danger, now, I'll leave "
"Wait! What about your phone?"
"My phone? Oh! It's true! Give it back, don't stole to a demon, or a curse will fall own you"
"No, it's alright, I just wanted to read your messages and I saw a lot of weird things, I'm not going to steal or break any phones."
"Give me that thing!" Omar took the phone. "You read the messages from my mom?!"
"Your mom?" Amanda asked.
"She wants me to not be late. I need to go, now... Bye bye"
Omar left.
"Wait, what am I going to do?" Amanda thought. She began to panic as she realized the situation she was in.
"Wait, wait, wait, what am I going to do? Wait, wait, WAIT! What am I going to do?!"
"Wait, I have this" Amanda said has she held the necklace with the pentagram, I'll use this if is necessary, no demons can get me"
Amanda looked at the necklace and said:
"In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I banish you! In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, I banish you!"
Amanda should be careful. Review please.
