I Need Knowledge

I can feel the heat emanating from the mouth of the entity above me as it exhales over me. I can feel the weight on my chest get heavier and heavier as I try to squirm free from under it. My body starts to get tense as more pressure is applied from on top of me. Its eyes start to open as its vision pierces me and I feel the sadness and dread of this entity. I try to scream but I can't speak let alone move my mouth. I can see this entity's hand reach up and feel across my cheek as it grips my mouth. Its hand is almost human with sharp nails protruding from the fingertips almost like claws. I can feel it scrape my face with its nail as whispers around me grow louder. I can't make out anything that is being said as I lay there with tears forming in my eyes.

"Hey, are you okay buddy?" followed by a knock on the door.

My dad comes to check on me and see how I was doing. Everything starts to get fuzzy as I jolt up from my pillow which is now covered in sweat. The door opens and my dad stands there in a powder blue button shirt tucked into his dark beige pants.

"Yeah... yeah, I'm fine dad" trying my best to force a sentence out. "I was just sleeping."

I don't know how much longer I can keep up this charade of being okay. My dad walks over to me and sits at the edge of the bed. He presses his hand against my forehead.

"You're burning up, I'll call work and tell them I can't go in today." My dad stands up and starts to walk towards the door.

"NO!" I raise my voice startling my dad "I mean, you shouldn't call out because of me, I'll be fine."

He stares at me as if he measuring me up. He looks at his watch and walks back to me. "Call me if" I quickly cut him off "If I need anything, I got it, dad." He smiles at me "atta boy" and he walks out the door closing it behind him. I quickly grab my phone and text, Brittany.

*Change of plans, meet me at my house after school*

I put my phone down and look up into the ceiling fan. I turn over and grab my tv remote and turn on the tv. I find a show to put on for background noise as I grab my laptop to try and figure out what this entity is. After some time searching, I come up with nothing so I decide to do the only thing I can, astral project, and attempt to find some answers. I lay down and grab the mojo bag I made for protection that I leave on the nightstand next to me. I open it to make sure all my stones are in there and tie it back up. If I remember correctly this bag contains the main stones, black obsidian, citrine, amethyst, black tourmaline, clear quartz, and pyrite. I rest my head deeper into my pillow and close my eyes. As I drift into unconsciousness I start a chant of protection against demons

*Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no couch… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a hag-demon, or a ghoul, or a robber-sprite, or a weeping woman that hath died with a babe at the breast… Whatever thou be until thou art removed, until thou departest from the body of the man, thou shalt have no water to drink. Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand… Into the house enter thou not. Through the fence break thou not...*

My body slips into slumber as my mind wanders. I can feel myself being lifted from my physical body and suddenly I can see my body laying on my bed from above. I venture from my room and head towards my school to check in on Brittany. I can see her in class bored trying not to fall asleep during English class. I then focus my attention on visiting a different plain so I can attempt to gain some knowledge. During my studies of astral projection, I learned about the occult and all different type of beings and deities. I found that there is one, in particular, I can go to for knowledge but for me, it might be tricky. I decided I would attempt to find the Egyptian deity known as Thoth. I sit and recite an invocation I memorized to get in touch with him

*

  Behold me, for I am the writing reed of the god Neb-er-tcher, the lord of laws, who giveth forth the word of wisdom and understanding, and whose speech hath dominion over the double land. I am Thoth the lord of light and truth, who maketh the feeble one to gain victory, and who avengeth the wretched and the oppressed on him that wrongeth him

            I have scattered the darkness!

            I have driven away the storm, and I have brought the wind to Un-Nefer, the beautiful breeze of the north wind, even as it came forth from the womb of his mother.

            I have caused him to enter the hidden abode, and he shall vivify the soul of the Still-Heart, Un-Nefer, the son of Nuit, Horus triumphant!*

I sit and meditate on it for a couple of minutes and nothing happens. I wait around hoping someone or something will appear but to no avail. As I start to stand up a booming voice appears out of nowhere.

"whom bids  upon me!" The voice physically shook me.

"Oh great god of knowledge, I ask that you deliver upon me knowledge of a certain demon entity." My voice was shaky as I have never done this before.

"Doth thou disrespect me with no offering  yet thou demand knowledge!" You can hear the agitation in his voice as the pressure around me starts to get heavy.

"I mean no disrespect I just..." I immediately get cut off and his voice booms through my ears.

"I refuse thy demand, never contact me with drossy skimble-skamble stuff." I can feel his presence fade as I sit there shaken to the core by the intensity of this deity.

I leave the plains of where I am and head back to my body. I enter back into the physical world as my eyes slowly open and I see my room again. I start to get up from bed and check the time, it's almost time for school to be let out, which means Brittany should be here soon. I walk downstairs and go to the refrigerator. I look inside and grab the milk, I set the milk down grab a bowl and open the pantry to grab a box of my favorite cereal.

"That was such an intense session," I say to myself out loud talking to myself. I finish the cereal and start to walk back to the stairs when there's a knock on the door. I walk over to the door and look through the peephole. I see Brittany standing outside yelling for me to hurry up. I open the door and she rushes in pushing me to the side as if she lived here also.

"I'm hungry, what do we have to eat?" She walks over to the fridge and grabs some juice from it. She walks over to the pantry and grabs some ramen. She grabs a bowl and a pot, fills the pot with water, and boils it.

"You will never guess what I found out" she looks at me with a smile on her face "We can contact spirits through a game board!" Her face fills with excitement.

"Did you not know about Ouija boards?" I looked at her confused.

"Now I do after searching the internet" she rolls her eyes "I figured we can maybe reach out to that demon who you drew in your notebook or maybe even something else" she wiggled her fingers as to indicate something spooky.

"That's a terrible idea." I shake my head to disapprove

"Please, please, please this is my first time and who better to try this with than with my best friend!" She cracks the biggest fake smile I have ever seen and I immediately laugh.

I sigh "fine but we do it my way and with protection."

"YAYYYYYY!" She burst out in a cheer as she pulls a board out of her backpack. "I picked one up on the way here, I'm so excited!" Her face filled with joy as my stomach turned. Something told me this might be a bad idea but when looking at her and how excited she is, it's kind of hard to say no. She finishes making her soup and brings it to my room. We sit at the edge of the bed as she finishes her soup slurping every last noodle. I look at the board laying on the floor in its box. I get nervous thinking about what would happen next.

    "Are you ready for this?" I reluctantly ask. I can feel the vibe in the room shift once I sat on the floor and started opening the box. I can feel tingling in my hands from just touching the board. and setting it on the floor."I'm as ready as I'll ever be," Brittany says looking over at me.I can feel her eyes fixated on me as I start to set up the board on the floor. I stand up and walk over to my closet. I open the door and look up and grab a shoebox on top. I walk over to the bed and set the box down."What's that?" Brittany walks over to me looking over my shoulder as I open the box. I flip open the lid of the box and look at the contents. It contained sage, holy water, white candles, incense sticks, and Kosher salt."It's just some stuff used for protection that I have." I start setting the white candles around the board and open the window so I can sage my room. I set the holy water next to the board and tell Brittany to sit next to it and make a salt circle around us. I sit ac

    I make it back to the table my face red and panting. I sit down and put my head into my hands and hold it there for a second. Brittany reaches over the table and grabs my wrist. I can't even make eye contact with her, I just continue looking down at my food watching it get cold."Hey, are you okay?" She moves her chair closer to me. I lift my head and notice people walking by looking at me."Did something happen to you?"I lean back in my chair and let out an exaggerated sigh. I put a smile on my face and grab my burger. I take a bite and look at Brittany. I can see she knows something is wrong with me, she should, she has known me since we were kids. I look away from her but she grabs my face forcing me to look at her."Tell me what's wrong" she started talking to me in a demanding tone, it was the first time she's ever spoken to me like that. I would be lying if I said it wasn't the kind of hot."I saw the shadow figure from the house, I think it's following me." My voice is a littl

    We stay up for the remainder of the night, talking about random things that happened to us at school. We start to hear footsteps on the stairs but we chalk it up to my parents leaving for work. We look at the time, it's 6:45 in the morning."Lucky today is Saturday huh" we look at each other and get out of bed opening the door to go downstairs. We make it to the end of the stairs and see my mom in the kitchen making coffee."Good morning mom," I walk up to her and kiss her on the cheek."Oh Brittany, I didn't know you were here, would you two like some breakfast?" We both exchange looks and quickly nod our heads and say yes."Why are you two up so early anyways?" She walks over to the pantry and grabs a box of the complete mix of pancakes. She grabs her mixing bowl from the bottom cabinets and her mixing spoon."We went to bed early last night and I guess our bodies woke us up," I tried to come up with a decent excuse.She makes us breakfast and gives us both a kiss on the foreh

    We both stand there in shock looking into the doorway. This demon stands there waving and smiling, our lifeless bodies laying across each other on the floor in front of it. I grab her hand tighter and run pulling her behind me. We run down the hallway that doesn't seem to end. We run and see another open door, we look inside and it's the same demon with our bodies under him, smiling and waving. "I can't do this," Brittany runs taking her hand away from mine. She runs down and turns a corner in the hallway. I run after her and turn the corner, it's a dead end. I start to breathe rapidly, I can feel the air getting thinner as it gets hard for me to breathe. I turn around to look towards the door, I see the hand of the demon emerge from the room, clenching the wall, pulling itself forward to peak its smiling face at me. "Stay away, get out of here!" I start yelling at the demon, and the demon bolts out of the room running towards me. I start to run away from it, looking behind me as

    I stood looking at my wrist in shock, Brittany standing there holding the knife in her hands. I start to tear up, Brittany quickly throws the knife to the floor. She hugs me but she immediately smacks me across the face. I could understand why she smacked me so I did not attempt to get angry at her."What the hell are you doing?" Brittany irritatingly says"I don't know, it felt like I lost control of my body, I..." I start choking up, unable to keep my tears back anymore. I burst out in tears sobbing uncontrollably.I push away from Brittany and turn my face, trying to stop myself from crying. Brittany reaches her hand out to me but I push it away and walk upstairs. I look at the time, it's only 9:00 am. All of this happened in 3 hours. It felt like we were in that dream forever. I walk into the mirror and look at myself, shocked by what I see I quickly turn my face. I saw myself with burnt skin, missing one eye, as I bled from the other, skin falling off my face, and missing my l

    “Are you sure?" I look at her suspiciously "are you sure you want to go in there?" Brittany looks up at me with a grin that takes up her whole face and nods excitingly. She drags me into the cemetery and we walk among the graves. She starts walking faster ahead of me, cutting in between graves, I have a hard time keeping up with her. "Brit, wait up, you're going too fast!" She starts to pick up speed and is running ahead of me. I start to lose sight of her. She is running faster than normal and I'm finding it hard to keep up with her. I run faster but she is too far ahead of me as I lose her once she goes over a hill. I stop running once I get to the top. "Brittany! Brittany! Where are you?" I look around trying to catch even a glimpse of her. I hear giggling all around me as I start to cautiously walk around. I walk looking behind tombstones where the giggling seems louder. I continue calling out for Brittany but I get no response, the giggling gets louder with every attempt. "

    I look around frantically, quickly trying to assess my surroundings. There is nothing but darkness all around with various spots of light coming from the moonlit windows. My body is sent into shivers as the temperature around me drops."What is this place?"I stare down into a dark, empty hallway. My eyes seem like they're playing tricks on me as I see darker shadows moving in the emptiness of the hallway. The hairs on the back of my neck start to stand, as I feel eyes piercing through my body."Is someone there?"I can feel pressure build behind my eyes as they try to adjust to the darkness. I walk around trying to find anything that can tell me where I am. I walk over to a random door, grab the doorknob and start to twist. I push and pull to open the door but it won't budge. I turn around and start to try random doors that are around me. I walk to a center of an open hallway."Hello? Is anyone there?"I start to hear whispers coming from all around me. They get louder as I sta

    "Game? What game?"I ask King Bael, he brushes off what I'm saying and walks out the door. The strength in my legs is starting to come back, but they aren't strong enough for me to walk. A dark figure walks over to me and helps me stand and walks me over to King Bael."I know I already told you I would help but I need more than just your allegiance, I need to test you to make sure you are worthy."He waves his hand in front of him as three doors appear in front of him. One door was black with golden trim, the other was oak with scratches on it and the last door was white with blood splattered across it."The goal for you is to walk through the right door.""Just walk through a door, that's it?"He nods his head, "yes, that seems simple enough does it not?"I look down at my legs and over at the dark figure holding me up. I can't help but wonder if this is some kind of trick. "Yeah, yeah it seems simple enough, but what about my legs?""Oh that, don't worry about something fr

    “You don't understand the current situation that you’re in, you can give up everything right now or you can die”, Lucifer says with a grin on his face. Bael looks at Lucifer with a sour look. The air in the room grew intense as others sat and watched the drama unfold before their eyes. A thin layer of light grazed through the window as they sit and speak. Lucifer is uncomfortable being there in the first place, the last thing he would want to do is be at a meeting in the infernal realm. Lucifer takes a sip of tea that is placed before him. “The only reason you’re alive right now is that there are rules and unfortunately I don’t wish to deal with anyone on the council for decimating you”, Lucifer says with a smug grin. “Don't get all worked up Lucifer, it's not a good look on you”, a man in the back corner says. He looks human and has a bald-shaven head, he has a set of shark teeth protruding from his mouth. He has a muscular physical appearance from the waist up with scrawny horse leg

    His voice impales my ears like a hammer hitting a nail. I sit at the tree not saying a word, my heart races as I wonder where he came from. I attempt to peek around the tree but am unable to see anyone standing there. The woods behind me were dark, littered with eyes peering over bushes and behind other trees. The wind was cold as it brushes against my beat-up body. All I can think of is getting far away from anywhere near here. I can't see the man but I know he's standing there, waiting for me to answer. The time seemingly slowed down as I sat there wondering if the man is even there or if this is my imagination. Of course, I want to leave here, but if there is one thing I learned, don't trust anyone or anything. Especially here, wherever here is. The woods behind me fell silent, with no animals making a sound, and the wind seemed to fall dead as I sit here contemplating what to do next. Should I answer him? Maybe he will go away if I ignore him. I try my best to regain my composure,

    His grin was eerie as he licked his lips. His eyes were wide and red as he reached his arm around the desk grabbing me and pulling me to him. I quickly pull myself away but his nails scratch my shoulder. I grab the girl and get up and start to run as fast as I can with her. The man laughing behind me walks toward me while rubbing his knife across his hand. My body is under pressure from the dead weight of the girl over my shoulder. I grab her tighter and I continue to run across the room. I’m just not fast enough to with her on me to evade the man but I continue trying. Blood from the girl is flowing out of her like a river as we run around the room. The man walks slowly, steadily increasing his speed to catch us. The girl's moans of pain continuously screech in my ear. I can feel her body go limp as her moans cease.“Hey, hey, are you okay?” I shake her a little but I don't get any response. I continue evading him with her over my shoulders. I finally get past him and run into the ha

    I can hear the sound of metal clanking as it I sit there. The voice that I just heard is no longer there. I look to the left of me and see a box against the wall. I crawl over to the box and hide behind it. The scraping of the metal stops as a man enters into view. He is holding a knife and is covered in blood. He's wearing a white lab coat and a mask of what looks to be a pig. He stands there for a second before continuing to walk down the hall scraping his knife against the wall. I stay hidden behind the box staying as low as I can. I wait until I can't hear the scraping and clanking of the knife on the wall before I use the box to stand up.“I wish the feeling in my legs would come back already”. I sit on the box massaging my legs. I try to stand up and walk but I can only stand for a few seconds before wobbling and falling over. I sit upright and lean my back against the box being sure to stay behind it and hidden.“I should rest, but I don't want to get found”. I sit there wonder

    I lay there breathing rapidly as if my heart were about to jump out of my chest. The shade stands above me, waving its claws in front of her face. I feel the air around me getting thinner, almost as though I was smothered. I can feel pressure in my stomach as I lie there afraid of the shadow in front of me. I can feel the pressure begin to shift towards my throat, which makes it hard to get air. Something's going on in my mouth. I open my mouth when I see a finger coming out forcefully by striking a tooth from the mouth. I open my mouth wider when the fingers emerge from my mouth like a spider. I'm terrified, I start to scream a stifled scream. My eyes were wide, my anxiety through the roof. The shadow stood above me laughing, making fun of me while he waved to me. “Now, just relax”, he takes a clean swipe across my face with his claws. I can see my blood spilling over his long nail when he licks the blood. “More, I want more!”He shouts as he leans towards me, looking straight into

    The faint smell of sulfur brushes my nose as I wake up in a room tied down to a creaky old bed. My eyes are blindfolded, I'm unable to see anything. Through the blindfold, I can see traces of light shining through. “Hello? Where am I?”Where am I? Or seems to be something I've been saying a lot. It's not like anyone would respond to me anyway. I struggle to pull my arms free but I'm too weak, I can feel the ropes rubbing on my skin. “Well, it seems you're finally awake,” a soft feminine voice echoes in the room. I can feel her hands touching my arm and slowly gliding her fingers onto my torso. I can feel her hands go under my shirt and start rubbing all over my chest.“I've been waiting for you to wake up”.I can feel a sense of calm wash over my body. I felt almost safe to be here. I start to let my body relax and my mind goes blank. I lay there waiting for anything to happen. I can see the light through the blindfold getting covered as the blindfold gets pulled down from my eyes.

I can feel the nails from the hands gliding across my body, digging into me as if they were trying to pull me down. “Get away from me!” I yell out, swinging my arms frantically.I can hear a menacing laugh all around me. My body is full of fear as the hands bring me to my knees. I start to hear knocking in 3’s, indistinct whispers, and snarling from a dog in the distance. The hands dig deeper into my skin as I get pulled onto my stomach, I can feel myself getting dragged across the floor.“Help! Someone help me, please!” I yell louder hoping someone can hear me, hoping someone would save me. My voice starts to crack, I can feel my voice get lower as I start to lose it. The strain in my throat from yelling irritates and stings with pain. “No one can save you”. The voice whispers into my ear. My vision slowly starts to turn black as I can feel the hands

    Slowly, I feel my will to fight leave my body. I can feel my soul being sucked out of my body. I should probably just give up and let him take me, this whole thing feels useless, but what will happen to Brittany? She doesn't deserve any of this. After fighting with my thoughts, I start to fight again. Suddenly, everything around me starts to change, as if the skin is shedding on a snake. The world around me starts to morph into a whole new scenery. Trees began to erupt from the ground, grass grew all around me. I can feel the warmth of the sun kissing my skin."What is this?"

I'll over to it slowly and cautiously. I periodically look behind me, I can't trust my surroundings here. I finally make it to the tree and look all around me before sitting down under it.
