Author POV

Lily's heart raced with a thrill of anticipation, her nerves tingling with a mix of fear and excitement. She had always been drawn to the dark and mysterious, fascinated by the supernatural forces that lurked in the shadows. And now, with the ancient tome of forbidden knowledge in her hands, she felt an irresistible urge to unleash its secrets.

The summoning ritual beckoned, its steps tantalizing her like a forbidden fruit. She couldn't resist the temptation to conjure a demon, to tap into the unknown and unleash its power. The fact that her friend Rosalie had gifted her this mysterious book only added to the allure, she still wandered why Rosalie would gift her such a book out of nowhere and why but the temptation from the book was so deep that she ignored Everything else.

Lili's pulse quickened as she delved into the ritual, her curiosity and desire for adventure consuming her. She was ready to unlock the gates of the unknown, to dance with the darkness and taste the thrill of the forbidden. The summoning awaited, its promise of power and mystery too great to resist.

Lili's hand trembled slightly as she retrieved the needle from her purse, a habitually carried tool of her modeling trade. With a deep breath, she pricked her index finger, wincing as a tiny droplet of blood formed. The crimson bead hesitated for a moment before falling onto the ancient book's yellowed page.

As she sucked on her wounded finger to alleviate the sting, her eyes locked onto the book with an unblinking gaze. The words on the page seemed to pulse with a malevolent energy, drawing her in with an otherworldly allure.

With each chant, her heart raced faster, the rhythm echoing through the darkening room like a death knell. Shadows crept across the walls, as if the very darkness itself was coalescing into a presence. Lili's spine tingled with foreboding, yet she pressed on, her voice steady despite the growing sense of dread.

The universe seemed to be screaming warnings at her, but Lili's determination had become a deafening roar, drowning out all caution. She was all in, even as the darkness closed in around her like a shroud.

As Lili's chanting finally ceased, the room and its surroundings succumbed to an unsettling silence. The stillness was palpable, like a heavy blanket that suffocated all sound. Lili's gaze swept the room, searching for any hint of movement or disturbance. But the space remained eerily frozen, as if time itself had been arrested.

Despite the apparent tranquility, Lili couldn't shake off the nagging feeling of being watched. She tried to rationalize it away, attributing the sensation to her own imagination and the lateness of the hour. "I knew nothing would happen," she muttered to herself, trying to sound convincing. "It's just some kind of prank Rosalie pulled on me. This stupid book, everything about it is stupid."

Disappointment washed over her, tinged with a hint of relief. She had always been skeptical of the supernatural, and now her doubts seemed vindicated. With a yawn, she reached for her phone on the bed, checking the time. The glowing screen read 2:34 AM, the digits seeming to mock her with their blandness.

As she settled into bed, the warmth of the quilt enveloped her like a comforting embrace. Her eyelids grew heavy, and despite her initial resistance, sleep began to claim her. The book, the chanting, and the eerie silence receded into the background, replaced by the soft darkness of her subconscious. Lily surrendered to the night, her dreams waiting to unfold like a mysterious tapestry.

As Lili drifted off to sleep, the silence was so profound that the ticking of the clock in the hallway resonated through the room like a heartbeat. Just as she was about to surrender to slumber, she felt a subtle shift on the bed, as if someone had lain down beside her. The movement was faint, but it sent a shiver down her spine.

Lili's body froze, her muscles paralyzed with fear. She tried to move, to roll away or sit up, but her limbs felt heavy and unresponsive, as if pinned down by an invisible force. Panic set in, her mind racing with terror. She was trapped, helpless, and utterly alone.

And then, a cold, clammy hand crept onto her waist, its fingers wrapping around her like a vice. Lili's heart raced, her breath caught in her throat. She was fully awake now, her senses on high alert. The realization hit her like a sledgehammer: she had made a terrible mistake. The summoning had worked, but it had brought something malevolent into her world.

Her mind screamed, but her voice was silenced by some unseen force. The hand tightened its grip, its chill seeping into her bones. Lili's thoughts were a jumble of fear, her brain struggling to comprehend the horror that had invaded her bed, her room, her life. She was trapped in a living nightmare, with no escape from the darkness that had taken hold of her.
