Claire was lighting black and white candles. Macy was drawing a pentagram on the ground in white chalk, and placing the 4 elements in the spaces between the points. I was setting up the ouija board. We had gotten an old one, used by the looks of it. I placed the board in the center of the pentagram. Claire had put a candle on each point. We sat inside the pentagram as well, to protect us from the evil spirits. We each put two fingers on the planchete, preparing to say the chant. As we circled the board three times, we said together:
As friends we gather, hearts are true, spirits near, we call to you.
"Is there a spirit among us?" I asked. The pointer slowly, but steadily pointed to yes. Claire gasped and Macy let out a small shriek. Trying to remain calm, I practiced breathing in and out.
"What is your name?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. The pointer went slowly, going to the letters, H E L E N H A R P E R.
"Helen Harper?" Yes
"Are you evil?" No
"Do you have a story to tell?" No
"Are you here to warn us?" Yes
"About what?" H E S A F T E R Y O U
"All three of us?" No
"Who?" A M B E R
"Me?" Yes
"Can we say good bye now?" Macy begged. I shook my head, scared.
"Who is he?" M I C T I A N
Claire shrieked this time.
"Who is that?" D E A T H
"Goodbye," I whispered, but before I could move it to the words goodbye, it spelled out W A I T.
"Why?" I W A N T T O H E L P
"Fine, how do I stop him?" S T A Y A W A Y F R O M W A T E R.
"Is that where I'm going to die?" I whispered, scared. Y E S .
"Goodbye," I said forcefully. I pulled the planchete to goodbye and it moved no more. "That wasn't funny guys." They were both white as chalk I realized. They stared at me, unable to open their mouths. "Let's clean up guys, and don't ever do that to me again."
"Amber... that wasn't us..." Macy said, her voice squeaking. Claire nodded.
"But then... who was it?" I whispered, so scared. And then... The planchete started moving again.
