Before you read this chapter, let me tell you something. When the night covers the day and everywhere is dark, turn off all the lights. Let the darkness dominate, and only the creeping in of the full moon. Then, light a candle and place it in front of a mirror. Say these words three times: "Bloody Mary." Prepare yourself for what you may see, but don't attempt it, as that's what Annie did the night she disappeared. **** Today is Saturday, so there is no school. Peter stretches himself out of bed. The morning sun illuminates the room. The events of last night replay in his head—what a long night. Just then, his phone rings and it's Sandra."Hello, good morning," Peter greets."Morning, are you free this morning?" Sandra asks."Huh, yeah," he replies."Let's go out for a date then," she suggests. Peter, the happiest being on Earth right now, eagerly replies, "Oh yeah, yeah!" He quickly got ready, making sure to wear his best clothes and splash on some extra cologne. As a clumsy pers
They both explained what the woman had told them. "It's exactly how it is in history," Kira said. "She claimed to grant their wishes and do the opposite." James, curious and knowledgeable about the tale, asked, "You seem to know a lot about this. Is there a way to fight this girl in the mirror?" Kira nodded, her expression serious. "It's simple. We have to perform a ritual and we need a mirror." Scott interjected, puzzled. "But how are we going to do that?" Kira reassured them, "I will provide some supernatural items. At night, we will place the mirror directly under the moonlight and chant her name. When she appears, we strike and kill her." The group nodded, understanding the plan. However, Kira warned them of an important detail. "But here's the problem: no one should see her face." Perplexed, they exchanged puzzled glances. "So how are we going to kill her?" Peter asked. Kira admitted, "I don't know. I said it was simple, but I don't have the answer." Sarah reminded her, "
The supreme demon sits atop his lofty throne, while his messenger stands solemnly before him, burdened by the failure of his assigned mission. The tasks bestowed upon him had been thwarted by a mere group of children. "They possess greater strength than we anticipated," he finally admits. Upon hearing this, an overwhelming rage consumes the demon, prompting him to rise from his seat and fix his intense gaze upon the messenger. The gaze alone paralyzes him, conveying the weighty implications behind it. "I... I will carry out your command, sir," he stammers, despite the demon's unspoken words resonating loudly through the silence. The messenger hastily departs, realizing that the time has come to summon the demon.As the final bell rings, the teacher exits the classroom, and the students pack up their belongings. Peter, who had been observing the newcomer Derek had attacked, periodically stole glances at him and his friend. Could Peter possibly be aware of their true nature? It seemed i
Derek pinned Sean, the newcomer, against the classroom wall and assaulted him along with his goons. Ever since he became an alpha, Derek has been a jerk, and his bullying has only escalated. Scott couldn't tolerate it any longer and angrily stood up, walking towards Derek. "Leave him," Scott demanded. Derek scoffed, realizing Scott couldn't beat him again. "This is none of your business, and f**k off!" he hauled back. "Why must you be like this?" Scott asked, feeling anguished. "Do you want to fight? Come on!" Scott's emotions were high as he implored Derek to stop assaulting Sean. Derek pushed him on the shoulder, taunting, "And what if I don't? You can't do anything." Peter and others quickly intervened, standing up to stop the confrontation. "Leave it, Scott. We can't handle him," Peter whispered as he dragged Scott away. Derek smirked, convinced no one could stop him now. "I can't stand that jerk possessing the alpha power. We have to do something," Sarah said. "There's no
Kira abruptly opened her eyes, convinced that she had heard a whisper calling her name. Feeling drowsy, she got out of bed and walked toward the window, where the voice seemed to originate. Despite the darkness of midnight, she couldn't see anyone outside.Thinking she might have misheard, she turned to leave. But then, the voice whispered her name again, echoing throughout the room. Certain she hadn't imagined it, she quickly turned back to the window and saw a figure, obscured by the darkness. She wondered if it could be her friend, so she grabbed her phone and turned on the flashlight. The sight made her scream in terror.*****The day at school proceeded as usual, but Derek's uncharacteristic silence caught everyone's attention. After observing him closely, Peter remarked to James, "Derek seems so calm and collected now. I think what happened last time knocked some sense into him.""Maybe, but who knows what he's plotting? Let's just be cautious," James responded. As the class end
Mike, after minutes of following Derek through the unknown forest, couldn't contain his curiosity any longer. "Where the hell are we going?" he asked.Derek assured him, "We will soon be there."Owen chimed in, seeking more clarity, "To where? Where is 'there'?""Just a little more!" Derek yelled, determined to keep them moving.Feeling hesitant, they refused to go any further. However, Derek demonstrated his supernatural power by effortlessly uprooting a tree with a single arm. Amazement filled the air as Owen couldn't resist asking, "How come you can do that?"With a knowing smile, Derek explained, "It's simple, it's a supernatural power, and you can acquire it too."Their excitement peaked, and they felt motivated to follow Derek again. After a few more minutes of walking, Derek came to a sudden stop. "He is here," he uttered mysteriously.Puzzled and intrigued, they eagerly awaited the arrival of this enigmatic figure. However, when the unknown being finally materialized before th
On the second day, they arrived at the school, embarking on a serious discussion about the mysterious hellhound, which, according to them, explained Officer's unusually fast healing abilities. The atmosphere seemed harmonious and without any signs of trouble, until Sean unexpectedly double crossed them on their way back home."What happened, Sean? I hope you haven't come here to deal with another misuse of power," Peter inquired with a tone of authority.Nodding solemnly, Sean replied, "Have you noticed Derek's recent behavior?"Perplexed, they exchanged looks, urging Sean to continue. "He's been up to something fishy, something very discreet," Sean continued, causing them to eagerly await further elaboration."And what might that be?" Scott probed, his curiosity piqued."I'm not entirely sure, but Derek's involved in something dangerous. Every night, he sneaks off to the forest to meet someone, and I fear he may be getting into trouble that could lead to his disappearance," Sean divu
they explained to the girls what they had faced. Mike and Owen, unaware of the events from the day before, were also present at the school. Derek smiled at them, but Scott felt an urge to knock the teeth out of him. "Okay, what should we do before the chaos engulfs the whole world?" Kira asked. They couldn't find any solutions at the moment. "Even the Hoodman hasn't found a solution yet," Scott said. In a desperate attempt, they decided to talk to Derek, hoping they could reason with him. "Derek, you need to stop! Your actions are causing chaos in the world," Peter said, trying to reason with him, but Derek just laughed. "You took my powers away, and you think I'll sit idle?" Derek snarled at them. "If you keep doing this, we'll have no choice but to fight you," Peter warned. "Then come on," Derek challenged, rising to his feet and facing Peter. "Let's fight." Although Peter felt tempted to fight, the others managed to hold him back. "Let's meet the Hoodman; there must be a way out o
