They tell us from the time we're young
To hide the things that we don't like about ourselves
Inside ourselves
I know I'm not the only one who spent so long attempting to be someone else
Well I'm over it
I don't care if the world knows what my secrets are (secrets are)
I don't care if the world knows what my secrets are (secrets are) So-o-o-o-o what
So what

Mary Lambert- Secrets
The attic door creaked open. The ladder falling down almost automatically.
I gulped and climbed upstairs into the attic. Sitting next to the confidential box, Craig was waiting for me.
"Are you sure that- gah!- there's something important in there?" I asked him.
"Yep." Craig replied in his usual monotone voice.
I glanced at the box and gulped. Carefully, I picked it up and sifted through it. Underneath a layer of packing peanuts was... a book?
Confused, I looked at the book. It was made of black letter and said Mediumism: The Complete Guide on the cover.
I blinked, even more puzzled then before. Why would my parents have this?
I flipped through the pages. I stopped on the page: Chapter 5: When A Ghost Requires Your Help.
Oh I could use this chapter.
When you encounter a ghost looking for someone or something, they will do anything to convince you to help them. Some use your pity, fear, naivety, or sympathy to get your help.
But be warned, when you agree to help a ghost, they will not leave you alone until they get what they want.
The first thing a ghost will do is convince you to use a ouija board. Many times you will encounter an evil spirit, a demon, or a wanderer.
An evil spirit takes pleasure in your fear and agony. They will torment you until you get the courage to stand up to them.
Demons are vile beings, and will try to possess or kill you. Whether it be right away or over time, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Wanderers are spirits who are merely lost. They will try to contact you out of loneliness or because they recognize you from life or you may remind them of someone they knew. They are usually harmless but very unpredictable. It is not certain how long they stay attached to a person.
There is a small chance that you could run into the desired spirit you're looking for. If that happens, then you're task is over. If not, then the ghost you're helping will persuade you to help them further.
After the oujia board, they will convince you to try a seance. This is a high risk summoning of demons and is very dangerous. Summoning a Wanderer from a seance is rare, but not impossible. You could also some just another random ghost. But it's just a matter of chance.
To conduct a seance you need:
Three wax candles
A cup full of wine
Something the spirit would recognize
And three people
Seances can also be done with the aid of spirits that the person/people you're contacting know or previously knew.
Remember a seance is very dangerous. Perform at your own risk.
"Find what you were looking for?"
I shrieked and jumped. I looked at the spirit sitting in front of me. I forgot he was even here.
"Ngh- you scared me." I gasped.
"I could tell." Craig remarked.
"Craig, do you know anything- ack!- about seances?"
Craig nodded. "It's dangerous. You could end up being possessed. Or worse."
A shiver went up my spine.
"Could you help me?" I asked him. "I think I'll have to do a seance soon."
"I won't be there physically, but I'll be watching." Craig responded.
That gave me a weird feeling. It was like a churning sensation in the pit of my stomach."
"Arg! Thanks Craig."
"Whaaaatever."
The feeling was gone as soon as it came.
"Tweek!"
I turned my head and saw Kenny and Kyle standing behind me.
"Augh!" I yelled. "What is it?" I turned my head and saw Craig was gone.
"We have another idea." Kyle told me.
I already knew what it was.
"What?" I asked them anyway."
Kenny flashed me a sideways smile. "Do you know how to do a seance?"
A/N: So why do you think Tweek's parents have that book? I really think it's any easy guess.
Updates will be regular but not as frequent. I recently started another story and I will work on that too. I would appreciate if you guys looked at that too. It's a Kyman/ Creek/ Bunny/ Dip Dystopian AU
See ya!
