A/N: For the first time, this is a story in which no one dies :P 

Also sorry I was so busy yesterday, couldn't postttt :/

"Pleaseeeeee?" I begged my older sister to play the Ouija board with me.

Ever since I turned eight, I started being really interested in horror whether it was a movie, a game, or anything else. When I found out my dad had a ouija board I was so excited to the point where I offered my dad money for it. At first, he was hesitant to give it to me but eventually ended up giving it to me. Now the only problem I had was I had no one to play it with. This is why I decided to beg my older sister to play with me.

"FINE" Sanaaya, my sister said.

We started right away as we placed our fingers on the planchette sitting there in the dark.

I began asking the typical cliche questions such as "Is there anybody there" and "Can you answer me?"

The planchette moved. It moved to "yes." I was really surprised and to be completely honest even a bit scared.

That's when I saw Sanaaya laughing quietly. I then realized that she was the one moving it to trick me by imitating an answer to scare me. I got really mad at her and she finally stopped, and we continued trying to make it work.

After a long time of trying...the game wouldn't work. My sister went to the kitchen and started to help my mom make dinner while I did some research. "How to make an ouija board work" I googled. I got some results, and most said using candles and being in the best environment, which is the bathroom, are the best ways which will work in most cases.

So, I moved the materials in the bathroom, lit the candles and set the ouija board up. Then I convinced my sister to try one more time.

Once again, we placed our fingers onto the planchette and I asked, "Is there anyone there?"

The planchette moved left. Then right. Stopped. And then continued moving right to the "yes" part. I stood up and yelled at my sister for moving the planchette again. But she swore she stayed still. I told her to move her hands and I put only my fingers on the planchette firmly. Once again, I asked, "Is anyone there?"

Nothing. The planchette stayed still.

"See I told y-"

I was about to rant about my sister lying until the planchette moved to "yes."

I looked up into my sister's eyes with fear clearly shown.

My sister thought it was unbelievable, so she took over the game to experience it herself. She held the planchette and asked, "are you a good spirit?" We watched this piece of wood hover over the word "no."

At this point we were both petrified and just wanted to end the game. We looked at each other and together we said, "Burn it."
