The Summoned

“Make a covenant with her by sacrifice”

“But act fast, for the waters are up to my neck”

I had always been a skeptic. I never believed in the supernatural- until I was faced with it. It started as just a feeling, like something was watching me. But it soon became much more than that.

One night, I was lying in bed trying to get to sleep when I heard a strange noise coming from my closet. At first, I thought it was just my imagination, but then the noise got louder and clearer. It sounded like someone or something was whispering my name.

I panicked and tried to ignore it, but the voice kept getting louder and more persistent until finally I couldn't take it anymore. I jumped out of bed and ran to the closet- only to find that there was nothing there.

I stood there for a few minutes trying to calm myself down before heading back to bed. But as soon as I got into bed, the whispers started up again- louder than ever this time.

That's when I knew there was something wrong- very wrong.

So reluctantly, I agreed and waited for the priest's instructions . A few days later, he called me and told me that he had found someone who could help us .

I met him later that night at an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town . He led me inside where I saw the most horrifying sight of my life . There were people tied up all over the room- some alive , some not . And in the center of the room , there was a large altar with a knife sitting on top of it .

The priest told me that this man would help us make the covenant with the demon , but there was no turning back once we started . So with tears streaming down my face , I watched as he slit the throat of one of my closest friends right in front of me …
