 There – there everywhere, all over my house, watching me. The- the others are um the others are already watching me right now. Um the ah the news said they have g-g-gone missing. Bu-bu-but they haven’t really. No one else can see them, I’d never think I would – would be the “crazy” one. I’m Grace the, ah t-the um the last one left after my little mess up. I’m– I’m ah I’m only writing this now before they take me because you all need to know what this…. these….. THINGS are. Hahaha, I bet you think I’m crazy th-th-that I need help, but I don’t. It’s the – the darkness. There – there everywhere always around us but you can’t see them, o-only a few can but it’s – it’s not a gift, no ah um you have to harness the power, ask for it, beg. Once I tell you this you can’t under any circumstance do- do this ever.

 It was October; the weather was nice and breezy. I was 17 at the time and I was headed to my friend’s house. She texted me and told me it was important that I need to get there NOW. So I started walking it wasn’t a far walk so I was there in a matter of minutes. When I got to the oak door I knocked. She answered it looking like a crazy mess, eyeliner a run, mascara everywhere, eyes puffy. She’s been crying again about those “evil things” in the dark. (Now that I think back I wish I believed her).

 “W-what toke you so long” she said franticly whipping her head around to look at god knows what

 “It toke me 15 minutes” I said sitting down across from her

 “It felt much longer then-then 15 minutes” she started acting like this 6 months ago, stuttering, breaking her back to look at nothing, constantly crying just acting insane. But she would never tell us why not that we wanted to know. All our other friends just gave up with her so I had to stick by her, plus she would do the same for me.

 “So what do you need me for?” I asked looking into her puffy brown eyes that have started to turn black, weird.

 “I-I need to um I to tell you something before they t-take me” she said eyes watering

 “Ok I’m listening” I said feeding into her craziness

  “I started to act this w-way once I foolishly did something I shouldn’t have. I was searching the web when I found this horror story. I-I loved horror stories so I c-c-clicked it, big mistake. I was reading it and it told me a way to s-see these things. It explained how darkness wasn’t a shadow from something or there being no lights, n-no darkness was a being… a thing that watch’s us all the time. That’s-that’s why we always feel like someone’s watching us” she explained

 “So how do you see these beings” I asked

 “YOU CAN’T DO THIS, GRACE” she yelled

 “I won’t, I won’t, I won’t just tell me Lily” I shook my head at her

 “o-ok, you had to um you had to go to a church at-at night a-alone or with a group of people, willing to do this as well. You have to b-bring 5 r-red candles, ch-ch-chock, a knife, a lighter and a cup. Then at n-night you um ah you go with all the stuff and find a good place in the church” she explained as I mental wrote it down. “When you find a s-spot you take out the chock and draw a big star w-with ah um with a circle around it. Then you set up the -the 5 candles on the corners of the star, a-a-after you all sit around it o-or if it’s um just you then you sit i-i-in the middle of it. You all take the knife and the cup and-and-and um cut your fingers and each drip 3 dr-dr-drops of blood in the cup, after you-you hand it um to the -the youngest o-one there. Then you all close your eyes and chant “let me see the lost, the evil, the dark. Let me see the things no soul should see, let me see what scares me. Let me see the lost, the evil, the dark. Let me see the evil that lurks right in front of me” you chant that 3 t-times as the ah as the um youngest uses the lighter t-t-to light the blood which sh-should light on fire remember n-not to open your eyes. After um after, if you only did it right t-there will b-be a strong wind that puts out the candles but n-not the blood. After you f-feel that then you all open your eyes, don’t m-move until the blood stops um stops burning then you can leave” she finally finished as I put the rest of the words in my brain

 “So why do I need to know this” I asked

 “So you n-now not to um not to ah….. do this” she seemed more detracted then scared at this point,  I looked into her now almost black eyes all that was left was the white. I couldn’t see her scared, watery, big brown ones anymore. She got up calmly and led me to the door.

 “Bye Lily” I said slowly as the white part of her eyes turned black as well

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Good bye Grace nice knowing ya” she said closing the door. I walked home and hopped in my car to buy the stuff I need to show my friends this. I bought chock, candles (red ones), a really cool cup that look like a church cup thing and a nice new pocket knife. If I was going to do this stupid thing it had to be with some really cool shit. I called up 4 of my friends and they said they would love to do it we met at my house ready to go. Krissa brought a camera to capture this. Greg found us a cool church that is always unlocked. Victoria and Jeremy helped by bringing themselves.

<p class="MsoNormal"> We headed out at 9, when it got dark. Ah I was so excited I loved doing creepy things like this. We got there and found a room that was empty except for the extra chairs stacked along the walls. I turned on the lantern that I brought and Krissa set up the camera.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “So hey, creepy Youtubers its Kris here with a group experiment here to see what really lurks in the dark” she laughed, Krissa had a YouTube channel that was very successful. “So here we go” she finished focusing on what I was doing. After I drew the star I set up the candles then I told them what we had to say and do. I was the youngest one there so I had to do the work. We all put our blood in the cup and started chanting as I lit the blood on fire and to my surprise it lit. We all chanted it for the last time, “let me see the lost, the evil, the dark. Let me see the things no soul should see, let me see what scares me. Let me see the lost, the evil, the dark. Let me see the evil that lurks right in front of me” after we finished a wave of wind it us blowing out the candles but….. Not the blood. To be honest I was a little scared, we all watched as the blood slowly burned and then stopped. I jumped up, clicked on the lantern and looked into the cup which had nothing in it. I tipped it over and something fluttered out of it, picking it up and holding it to the light i read it

<p class="MsoNormal"> “Can you see us?” it read i shivered and looked around. Nothing so we started packing up.

<p class="MsoNormal"> “So we just did the group thing, I don’t even know what to call it. But we did it nothing happened yet but I’m just going to leave you guys on for a bit longer” announced Krissa to her camera before helping pack up. When I whipped my head around to get the last candle I say something black move, I quickly stud up and looked at the spot, I didn’t see anything but I noticed that everyone else say it too. Krissa grabbed her camera and walked towards it with me, when we got there, nothing was there. A bit freaked out I quickly grabbed my stuff and we we’re out of there. A bit shaken up we all crashed at my place.

<p class="MsoNormal"> I woke up from heavy breathing, thinking it was Krissa who was sleeping beside me I opened my eyes and almost screamed at what I saw. There was a person… no it wasn’t a person no person looked like, like this. It had long black wet looking hair, black ominous eyes, horrid pointy white teeth and was kneeling on its boney. Knee’s looking right at me. Its skin was like black leather that has been starched, tightly covering the bones on this thing. I was shocked not wanting to move and I didn’t, until something caught my eye be hide the thing and it was another on and another and another. They were surrendering us just looking at us; I couldn’t hold it back I screamed, waking up everyone else who also noticed the beings. Greg quickly ran and turned on the light as they all ran to any dark place possible and then they were gone.

<p class="MsoNormal"> After t-that night it g-g-got a lot um a lot worse when we e-each went home, we all developed the-the same symptoms as Lily did. The stuttering, franticly l-looking around, crying and even the e-eyes our eyes slowly started t-turning black. Krissa uploaded the v-video to YouTube, she said it was her last o-o-one and then she was um then she was gone. I never h-heard from her again after that ah after that video she d-did say bye thought in the end of her v-video. In the video her once b-blue eyes wear slowly turning black as she c-cried and cried. The police still haven’t found her its b-been a mouth and t-there never going to them because there with me right now in the dark. Greg, Victoria, Jeremy and Krissa who all went m-missing, Greg went missing 4 months a-ago, Vick 5 and Jeremy 2.

<p class="MsoNormal">  I’m n-next, I can feel it m-my um their eyes growing darker, there closing in o-on me I will soon become t-them and I’m scared but not for l-long the same thing will happen to me as it did Lilly. M-my eyes with grow darker and I will not be scared.

<p class="MsoNormal"> I can’t see colour anymore everything’s just gray or black. It’s hard to write now. But I’m not scared anymore I have to go now I can hear them mocking “can you see us?” Never ever do what I did or you’ll never see the light.

<p align="right" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:right"> From: Grace

<p class="MsoNormal">  I see the lost, the evil, the dark. I see the things no soul should see, I see what scares me. I see the lost, the evil, the dark. I see the evil that lurks right in front of me. I see me.
