I felt myself leaving my body. ‘This is like a flashback this is like a dream‘ I thought. It was definitely a flashback. I jumped back to the location where I burned myself. There were no fire residues there and it felt like a memory.

Debbie and Sarah walked through me towards the warehouse which was lighting up with party lights. I could hear scary theme music coming from the warehouse. Debbie happily said, “This is a huge crowd, the master will definitely show up and grant us our wishes finally.”
“Yes, after we harvest these souls the master will be pleased and grant us our wishes. Let’s just hope everything goes as planned. Did you invite Dexter and Dolly? They are the pure souls we absolutely need. ‘The virgin kin’ to be by the books.”
“Yes of course”. she said, “I invited Dexter and Dolly as the virgin kin, Molly and Chan as the sinners, Sidney and Aron as the intellectuals and Ned and Edith as the farmers.”
“I hope everyone made it too, even the subject.”
“Yes they did and I redirected them to the VIP room too. Tonight when the clock strikes twelve, the hell gates will open and at that time our magic would render everyone dead except the VIPs and us. Then the pleased master would be drawn to us and take the VIPs as our offering and grant us our wishes.”
“Exactly Debbie you are a fast learner. One of my best apprentice. Cmon’ lets join our own party so that no one gets suspicious.”
They went in and I followed. It was some sort of rave inside. Some kind of gathering of occult worshipers. It was Halloween eve. They went straight through the secret entrance and there was everyone. I was there too. There was something me and Ronald were discussing. What was he doing there? I thought the master i.e. the evil spirit was yet to arrive. Maybe he was the subject. I went closer to hear what we were saying.
“Debbie and Sarah are planning to do it today. We need to stop them.” I said.
“But how?” said Ronald.
“I think let her bring the spirit here and then we trap him by that body entrapment spell. I know you are strong enough to keep him in you and later on when he weakens we’ll figure out how to destroy it.”
“What if we just kill Debbie and Sarah now and avoid this whole thing?”
“We can’t kill Debbie and Sarah. They are our friends. I think we need to go with the other plan.”
I went deeper in flashback to retain the rest of my memories and then I returned back to that moment. The clock was about to hit 12. As soon as the clock hit 12 everything went quiet. An evil energy flew past me. I felt its darkness.
The darkness took a shape in front of me and the rest of them. I could see his true face. Debbie and Sarah were happy but they didn’t know what we had planned. Ronald went into the center and chanted the entrapment spell and so did I.
Debbie and Sarah tried to stop us but we didn’t. The spirit went into Ronald and the rest of us fainted. I thought the spell was successful but the later I realized that this was the spirit taking over Ronald’s body. The spirit then said, “Finally I am living too. Let’s have some fun now.”
He went out and with a flick of his fingers cleared the whole damn place. He set up the photos as well as the book and the rest of the set up. He took us to the apartment and did an enchantment on us trapping us there for eternity. He did not want the souls as Debbie had predicted. His actual goal was to make us lose trust of each other and work as his slaves.
Now I knew the only way to break his spell was to kill him.
