The three of us strolled through the desolate halls of the school in route to Mrs. Tannell’s English class which only had about fifteen minutes left until the conclusion. We would all be released to the wilds of Pre-Cal and the odd instances of solving math problems that solely involved letters without a number in sight. The world will never know the struggles of Pre-Cal at the Yankee Gifted School and the tortuous seconds of Pre-Cal.
Once we had returned to the untamed wilds of Mrs. Tannell’s class left to their own free will without an adult in sight, the room fell silent, and all eyes were set on three ladies that had just diverted a disaster and held the secrets of their lives close to their vests for a little while longer. We walked in the class how I envisioned mafia bosses walked into organized crime meetings with their soldiers, no one could touch us.
For the final fifteen minutes of class I obsessed over the video I had sent to myself from

The school day had finally ended, it was over and Friday. A nice weekend to recharge the batteries was desperately needed and that was my full intention, other than the meeting with The Wall tonight, I had absolutely zero plans and intended to keep it that way. This week had been an exceptionally trying set of five days. My entire life had been flipped upside down, but I was slowly trying to claw my way back to some sort of normal, if you could call it that. The school was buzzing, on the outside at least, because tonight was the beginning of the football season for the Yankee Yonderers, our school’s football team. No one was really sure what a yonderer was, not even the staff, so our mascot was a basic bird of prey with a pointed beak to aid in the ripping up of its hunted dessert. They e

With my pendant glowing hot blood red, I knew something was taking place, something that was miserable and dangerous for Jackson, my little brother that I just saved from a lifetime of soulless living. I restored his happiness at the expense of my freedom and secrecy. It was beginning to make itself very clear that nothing could be taken for granted at any point for the foreseeable future. The demons had keyed on me for revenge and a potential portal into this world of the living. I said, “Jennifer, something is not right, my pendant is glowing, and it has been ten minutes. How long does it take a little kid to change his shirt?” With haste, I grabbed Jennifer and we began to head towards the stairs. Looking up the ascending staircase, all that appeared was pitch black nothingness. The darkness was broken up by a very subtle blue light coming from somewhere around the corner. The callus on my neck began to burn as

The four of us stormed out of the house, making sure the house was unphased and secured just in case my parents arrived home before we were able to get back. These days you had to have a factor of safety with everything, especially time, you never knew when you would encounter a demon or two and have to spend some time fending them off. Being a kid was hard enough but having to worry about being ambushed at every turn, that was the definition of stress for me. Todd piled us all into his windowless white van, which had to look odd to the neighbors considering her was the only adult rushing underaged people into his suspicious van that was always parked outside of my house. Nonetheless, Jackson sat up front and Jennifer and I were destined for the rear. The rear with all the loose paranormal elect
Haunting Naomi Chapter 53
The door creaked open with the typical howl you would expect from a door leading to an ominous meeting inside of a house with a portal to hell located inside of it. No one, not a one of us, seemed to become rattled from the creak and all of its creepiness. The first ever meeting of The Wall was about to take place and it was time to meet all of the players. Actually, I noticed someone inside that even I did not know. There were far more people than I expected to be here. Each person was surrounded by blazing candles, tall slender candles that melted down slowly and tilted whichever way they wanted to as their life came to an end, a fiery smoldering end. Going from left to right, Nurse Helen started us off, then Mrs. Tannell dressed in some very comfortable looking garb, and in the far corn

The boom that we had heard earlier in at the start of the meeting had been unsettling, but we soon realized that it was not a big deal, that Mrs. Tannell had rigged up an area around the portal to ensure that the demons that tried to pass into the land of the living were quickly evaporated and sent right back to hell. The second boom, however, that one was far more intense and affected the living world around us, that was not supposed to happen. We all adjusted to get ready for whatever may come, large or small, it was our job now. Somehow during the massive sound explosion, Jackson was able to remain calm and cool, he seemed to be very relaxed now that he knew he was around folks that had some extraordinary abilities, and he was one of the few that was able to perform some miraculous tasks when the time ca

Completely disregarding Mr. Tannell’s very clear instructions, Sarah Macly surged forward heading directly for the final remaining piece of the shelter that remained in place, shielding our view of the demon that had made it through the portal located in Mrs. Tannell’s living room. This was a complete contradiction to what we were told to do and clearly an insubordinate act for the sake of showing off by being absolutely reckless.Before any of us could intervene, Sarah fired a bright orange basketball size flame ball at the remaining lone piece of structure. Jennifer had already begun an 'I wish' statement towards Sarah, but it was too late. Her flaming ball of hate and destruction had already begun its expedited journey towards whatever beast was waiting behind the tattered structure.&nbs
Haunting Naomi Chapter 56
With absolutely zero hesitation, those of us on the front line (Me, Jennifer, Jackson, and Sarah) began taking turns attempting to fatally wound the demon that had made it through the portal and past all of the mirrors set up to destroy it upon entry into this world. Each person took a turn and to me, they all seemed to be way too passive with the demon. Nothing seemed to be working effectively, the three headed beast was just growing annoyed. If you take a second and think about being sick and not going to the doctor. You self-diagnose and determine you are sick with a cold, so you treat the illness as if it were a cold. Turns out, you had the flu the entire time and have been treating a few symptoms but not actually treating the main source of the sickness. We just had to determine the s

The demon’s chest cavity, dark and shriveled, was wide open. Each bone Todd encountered had hundreds of small spines growing from them, like thorns on a rose bush. For some reason, we all disregarded the gruesomeness of what we were looking at. It was a relatively human type of corpse, except for the extra heads, legs and arms. You had to use your imagination to really let the demon have some type of place in your heart, human wise. Todd was being as delicate as possible, moving slower than the slowest three toed sloth. "I have read that one prick from any of a demons thorns results in immediate excruciating death. Please, keep your distance and do not rush me," he said. The entirety of Mrs. Tannell’s home had become entrenched in an odor I can only describe as fresh shit out of water. If you do not know, let me enlighten you. When you defecate into a toilet bowl full of water, the liquid acts as a capsule of sorts and
