"Don't be a fucking baby." I whispered. Striking a match I went to set it into the bowl but hesitated for a moment. This was my last chance to change my mind, it wasn't too late. I tossed the match into the bowl and the contents caught fire. With my hands trembling I held the page up and began to read aloud.

"Καλώ τους αγγέλους να μου δώσουν την όραση για να δω ό,τι δεν μπορεί να φανεί, να αγγίξει ό,τι δεν μπορεί να αγγίξει, οπότε πήγαινε πέρα ​​από αυτό το θνητό βασίλειο."

As I read the electronics in the room went haywire. Everything flashed on and off, the lights flickered, and the TV turned itself on and rapidly changed the channels. I had to admit I was frightened. My heart raced inside of my chest a million miles a minute but I continued to read the ancient words. On the third reciting everything turned off. I was left in darkness other than the faint glow of candles. I let out a breath of relief but it was short-lived as a rush of wind blew through and blew out my only other source of light. I was now in complete darkness. I reached out only able to see maybe a couple feet in front of me. I wasn't sure exactly what was supposed to happen but it seemed as though nothing did, other than the lights and the wind. I looked at the middle of the circle and huffed out in annoyance

"Fuck- did I not do this right?" Disappointed, I shook and got up, turning to face the TV. I began to pick up when something seemed to suck up all the air in the room. I felt that now familiar feeling of being watched. My eyes slowly moved from the ground when I caught something in the reflection of the TV screen. A glowing pair of golden eyes peeked at me through the darkness. I felt frozen in time, everything in my body tensed before I whipped around. The eyes slanted at me as the outline of a dark shadowy figure began to move toward me. My heart beat so loud I could practically hear it. My eyes widened and my mouth hung open slightly.

There was a beam of moonlight that managed to shine through the blinds, it was now my only light source. It cast a bluish light in the room as the shadow slowly stepped into it all the while those golden beaming eyes stared at me, cold and calculating. Whatever this thing was wasn't anything friendly, its movements were that of a cold-blooded predator stalking its prey.

When it finally stepped into the light a shiver ran up and down my spine. It was a tall man. Tattoos covered his gray-skinned arms until they became hidden under the colorful Hawaiian shirt he was wearing. His shoulders were broad and relaxed, my eyes finally made their way up to his face. It was half human, half skeletal. His eyes watched me with curiosity as all I could do was stare. His pointed ears pricked up as a wide glowing grin slowly crept onto his face. "Lookin' for somethin'?"
