31st of October, 3AM..

It was Halloween, the day of the devil some would say. Even at this hour, many children and parents were trick-or-treating, going house to house for some candy. Others chose to party and use this opportunity to get drunk or have sex, usual activities. However, one trio in particular was planning something much more sinister..

Jayden, Isabella, and Mark sat in a circle in Isabella's basement. A large, blood-red pentagram sat in the middle of the basement floor, lit up by black candles. The teens sat on opposite corners of the area, staring at the pentagram as if a jumpscare was about to happen. Mark, the leader, held a book in his hands and recited the spell to summon a demon.

Mark: "Demon, the embodiment of malevolence, answer me. We teens call fourth your energy, in hopes to summon you. We ask that you enlighten us with your presence, O great one."

He chanted, but nothing happened. Isabella sat there, bored and annoyed. Jayden was neutral, he was also bored however, yet interested for the results. But, nothing happened. As expected. Isabella snorted, her face shifting to a mocking grin as she teased Mark for getting his hopes up.

Isabella: "Pfft- I told you, this satanic stuff is nothing but bullshit."

She snickered, popping her neck with her bonnet shifting from the sudden movement. Isabella always wore a bonnet to protect her box braids. Jayden only sighed, his expression showing zero emotion as usual.

Jayden: "Let's just smoke or something, this ritual was a dumb idea. We should be partying and having fun since our parents are gone for the week-"

But before Jayden could finish, black smoke suddenly came from the pentagram. Everyone gasped, except for Jayden, as a black figure emerged from the floor. The figure twisted and bones were heard cracking as the figure roo one shape. The candle light flickered, revealing the identity of the summoned demon— it was you..
