Annemarie.... Annemarie....

 

You jolt awake and sit up. 

 

Whaat?  Even in your mind you sounded like a classic teenager. 

 

Today is the day.

 

Its been three months since Evelyn entered your body. She's been kind of quiet, preparing for today. She has told you nothing about how, but that today is the day you get your brother back. 

 

Okay, in order for me to take control you have to be conscious. So I'll take it from here. 

 

You get up and pull the white rug from the floor and throw it off to the side. You take the small chalk set that you got for Easter a few years ago and draw a circle covering most of the floor. 

 

You take candles and light them carefully, placing them periodically around the circle. You stand in the middle and chant lines from a different language. You feel something pushing up against you, circling you. 

 

How can I feel that?

 

Hush...

 

You slowly spin in one circle, before you freeze. Your not even breathing. 

 

Then your body collapse. Your head hits the ground and you sit up, controlling your own movements. 

 

Something is stopping me... We have to hurry.

 

Just like that, you've lost control and you are walking into your parents bedroom. 

 

What are you doing!? Leave my parents out of this!!

 

It's part of the sacrifice. 

 

Sacrifice!? No!
