Drool rushes down my cheeks, as I slowly wake up. My eyelids feel heavy after such a long....such a lo-...I let out a huge yawn then rub my eyes.

"Yeesh how long has it been since I fell asleep. Probably like 30 mi-" I looked at my watch in complete disbelief. I fell asleep after baseball practice at 7'o clock, it was 9'o clock.

After practice I found a vacant classroom to nap in. I was EXHAAAAAUSSTED. Running back to back for miles, doing cardio, push-ups, sit-ups, doing everything BUT baseball to build my "Core strength".

Whatever coach, I'm pretty sure Babe Ruth didn't have to do half the garbage I did.

I took a look at the window, outside was pitch black, I can't completely say the same for the classroom I'm in. Some lights were still on, but with the small amount of lights mixed with the moon light I've got enough to see my way out of here.

I wiped the drool from my chin, got up, stretched, then put my hands in my black varsity jacket. I walked down the narrow halls of the school until I saw a door cracked open with light flickering through it.

"Donny! come on! Give me the cube!" clearly a girls voice sounding as if she was struggling to take an item. I slightly open the door a little more so I could do some spying.

Lo and behold what I found was shocking no...incredible shocking! I couldn't believe what my beautiful brown eyes were looking at! It was...it was!

A bunch of losers from the "Paranormal Spirit Captor Club" a club where, at least what they tell the principal, look for historical horror based items and document them for research purposes I guess? But really it's just a bunch of people sitting around watching horror movies and playing parasite eve for the 1 billionth time.

The only thing interesting was the cube that their fearless leader Aoi was holding. A nearly completely black cube with weird white markings surrounding it's body.

"Alright boys! This little artifact is known as the Obsidian 100 cube!" Aoi proudly shouted at the other two members of the group, Donny and Ian. Donny's a big guy that always seems to have his eyes closed, I'd say he's tall as hell too even taller that me, who's standing at a rough and tough 5'10, he's one of the chilliest guys you can hang out with. Ian usually wears a black beanie cap and his most distinguishing feature is his gnarly rat like teeth, he's also a bit shorter than me. He's great at digging up information the guy is great at finding things, hell we used to call him the rat detective in middle school.

Then finally Aoi, a short cute, purple haired girl with lip piercings. She's a horror movie and artifact addict. She could down ten serial kill podcasts in a single day. She's a bit of a whacko but she's also the most fun person to be around.

Aoi takes up the cube and begins explaining it to the two.

"This cube is said to have sealed over 100 demons!"

"Woah how'd you get a hold of the cube Aoi?" Donny asks.

"Don't worry I have my super secret sources"

"My uncle found it in some antique pawn shop they didn't know what it was but thought it looked cool so they sold it to him for like 100 bucks" Ian rubbed his chin proudly explaining the situation.

Donny laughs and says "So it was your score man! Nice!".

"Thank you, thank you! So Aoi you were just gonna lie to Donny about how you got it?"

"I was gonna keep it mysterious for dramatic effect you moron!" Aoi looked at him angrily probably because it ruined her little show. She always has a flair for the dramatics.

"Anyways we're gonna perform an ancient unsealing ritual tonight! We're gonna open the 100 demon seal!"

"Er...Aoi is that really a good idea?" Donny raised his hand and asked.

"We've got this! We're Spirit Capturers! We can handle a couple of demons!" Aoi shouted, ha, her yelling's always been a problem you could hear her two classrooms down sometimes.

"And besides it's probably not the real thing anyways no way something like this would be sold for a 100 bucks"

"Hey!" Ian looked like a bit offended as if his find was practically a joke.

"Relax relax, anyways this cube is said to have different demons with each having a different rank from 1 to 100. The 100th spirit is said to be so powerful he..." She turns down the lights, puts a sheet over her head, then takes up an antique candle and lights it.

"He's said to be one of the strongest demons, so strong it took another demon named Dol'gath a demon who sided with humans to defeat his rival to beat him. His name is so forbidden to say no one knows it , as it was purposefully lost in time."

Now that sounds hardcore.

"Oh sounds scary" Donny begins to shake in fear a bit.

Donny raises his hand "Er Aoi after this can we watch Blood Suckers 5?"

"Hell yeah!"

"I mean we have have to stay focused, maybe we will after"

"So the ritual is simple we place the cube in this circle" a red circle that looks like it's straight out of a horror film surrounded by candles and different items.

"An ear of a deaf man, a 5 leaf clover, a sword, and we must recite the words"

"Wait...how did you get the ear of a deaf man?"

Donny's right how did they get the ear of a deaf man?

"Details Donny come join me over the circle"

"Alright...but I still wanna know later"

"We must close our eyes and recite the words release them backwards in Latin"

It's always backwards Latin.

The group recites the words over and over. Obviously no- The cube begins to shake. It's outer linings start to glow.

"Jesus...is...is this actually happening" I quietly say to myself.

They continue in Latin and the cube shakes some more. Then...Then....nothing happened, the cube stopped shaking and glowing at the same time. No demons released no ghosts, no big fancy BBEG came out.

But... I could use this opportunity to do a little trolling.

I ran to the science lab to see if I could find the sheet covering the anatomical skeleton. Ran back to the club door, put the sheet over my head, busted down the door and yelled "IT IS I THE DEMON DAL'GATH or whatever AND I HAVE COME FOR YOUR SOUL!"

The three scream in unison.

I let out the greatest laugh of my life. I mean I was on the ground just dying, hell tears we're coming down my eyes.

The three quickly realized that it was a prank after my laughter then turn on the lights. Aoi grabs the sheet off of me and yells "Damnit Kai what are you even doing here you traitor?"

After wiping my tears I said "Whaaat? I can't visit a couple of old friends?"

"Traitors don't get to visit, Kai, right boys?"

The two rub the back of their heads and say with the least amount of confidence "Y-yeah traitors don't get to visit"

"Come on they don't even believe that nonsense. Come on guys up high!"

I gave both of them high fives and said "Ya gotta admit that was a good one?"

They both laughed "Aoi was screaming like a baby" Ian shouted.

"I was not!" Aoi said with an angry face.

"You definitely we're "mistress" Aoi" I said teasing her.

"Don't call me that traitors don't get to call me mistress"

"Oh and what if I keep doing it? What are you gonna do about it "Mistress"

"You're lucky you're cute or else I would of slapped that dumb smile off your face?"

"Cute? Me? No mistress I'm damn near handsome" I said as I slicked back my black hair playfully and smiled at her with a something eating grin.

"Hey Kai you wanna watch Blood Suckers 5 with us?" Donny asks with a gleeful smile.

"Naaah sorry bro but I've gotta head home. Baseball practice was a killer today. The coach is really on us lately because the season's about to start."

"Aww man"

"Don't go inviting this traitor to things Donny!"

"I'll catch you guys after the season ends though."

"It was good seeing you Kai. Even if Aoi doesn't want to admit it we all miss you man" Ian said as he put his hand over my shoulder.

"I miss you guys too."

"Especially you my mistress" I blow a fake kiss at her and she replies back by sticking her tongue out. But I can see the little blush she does, she not that good at hiding her emotions.

I walk out the club room, I keep the door just a bit open because as much as they don't like to admit it, they keep it open because some of the horror movies get a little scary sometimes. The open door makes us...I mean them, feel like they can run away anytime.

Damn I really miss you guys. But life has other directions for us sometimes and I...I just can't be there anymore.

Any who I decided to walk down the halls as I got closer to the exit the place felt a bit.. chiller. I could see my breath as I exhaled, it wasn't this bad a few minutes ago. Fall was probably getting colder I guess. Honestly the place started to feel like we we're in the middle of a winter storm so I decided to jacket up.

I finally reached the exit. I attempted to open the door but it wouldn't budge. Usually the principal left it open, people say it's to sneak his mistress in at night. I guess they weren't messing around today. I might as well take the back exit it's a one way door so it should be open.

As I was about to put my hand in my pocket I felt a damp feeling on my right shoulder. I took out my left hand to feel it. It was in fact wet. It felt like something was dripping down. Like a leak falling from one floor to the next.

"God they've gotta start fixing this place." I said to myself.

Then the drip began to hit my head. Which...is weird because I haven't moved an inch since I felt the dripping. So I slowly decided to look up to see where the dripping was coming from.

I wish...I wish I never looked up.
