Mom and Grandpa quickly ran toward the hardware shop to ask Mr. Samson if Johnny was there.

“Mr. Samson, this is urgent; my son is missing!” Shouted Mom.

The shop seemed quiet, too quiet

“Mr. Samson?” Yelled Mom.

Mr. Samson came out of the back room.

“Ah, Mrs. Walker. I’m sorry, I was in the back room and didn’t hear you coming. How can I help you?” Said Mr. Samson cheerfully.

“Johnny had run away; have you seen him? What did you tell him?” Asked Mom.

“Oh, Johnny, yes, he is actually here. I was just talking to him in the back room, and he was crying about some girl.” Said Mr. Samson.

Grandpa felt something was off with him. He didn’t blink once, and he had a foul oder to him. He quickly grabbed a hammer, hid it from Mr. Samson's view, and followed him to the back.

The back was dark, and Grandpa grabbed Mom's shoulder so she wouldn't step any further.

“So, where is Johnny?” Asked Grandpa.

“He is here; come with me.” Said Mr., and he walked toward the darkness.

Suddenly, grandpa swung the hammer and hit Mr. Samson's back of the head.

“What the heck, Fred?” Yelled Mom.

Mr. Samson's broken head had shown feathers, and Mr. Samson started to screech a horrible sound. Mom and Grandpa started running.

Meanwhile, Johnny made it to the cemetery and saw only Nichole there.

“What happened to the rest of the gang?” Asked Johnny.

“I don’t know, they might be late.” said Nichole and handing the copies to Johnny

Johnny grabbed some spray paint and started to make a circle around the grass, he copied the symbols on the page. Nichole light up the candles and put it around the circle quickly.

He grabbed his backpack and wore it, so no pages would be lost or going to the wrong hands again. When this is over, he will get rid of the original book and the copies for good.

When finished, the teens stepped into the circle and waited. They were both terrified. As the sun was setting, they saw figures coming down from the trees.

“Oh, isn’t that adorable? Two heroes came here to save the world, aww.” Mocked the sluagh

“What are you going to do now? You think the circle and a bunch of candles will scare us? Laughed the other one.

Johnny was confused that the necklace he was wearing didn't seem to work. They can still see him.

Frustrated, Johnny grabbed his backpack and grabbed the page to summon the portal to cast  them out. He knew he must be brave and protect Nichole. If someone is going to die today, it would be most of those creatures and him.

“I’m not afraid of you parasites; I will cast you back to hell, where you belong.” Yelled Johnny.

“Oh, and how are you able to cast all of us out? “He replied

Multiple of them started to laugh at Johnny.

“You cowards are using other people's bodies because you are weak; show me your true form!“ shouted Johnny.

The beast smirked at Johnny's comment and removed the shell. It showed his true, horrifying appearance. It was taller than the corpse he was wearing. Its beady, glowing red eyes stared at Johnny like prey.

Johnny didn’t say anything else, he was really terrified and never seen them that close. Nichole was shaking and hugging Johnny.

“Johnny, are you satisfied? So you know you can’t do anything against us. Come out, Johnny, and we might spare you,” the beast lied.

“No! I’m going to stay here and defeat you!” Shouted Johnny.

“You foolish boy, we can wait here forever; unlike you, we don’t need to eat, drink water, or even use the bathroom. Sooner or later, you will have to come out.”Laughed the beast.

Johnny started chanting the spell with Nicole. Nichole was so terrified that she couldn’t pronounce words correctly.

At the same time, in the corner of Johnny's eye, he saw Chris running toward them and Grandma much farther. The beast started getting nervous since he felt the spell is working but it  was chanting the wrong portal. It didn't want to find out what was inside the portal. He knew they didn't have long until the teens they still had to say the words correctly, and they also saw the grandma heading toward them behind Chris.

“Get him fast before it’s too late!” shouted the beast.

Chris saw one of the creatures heading toward him and started to punch the creature, while Grandma started to use her light magic on it and paralyzed it. The flock started to run away one by one, not wanting to deal with the grandmother, but the beast wanted to go anywhere since he wanted to finish his mission, challenge the family, and kill the grandmother for good.

“Keep chanting, Johnny!” Shouted Grandmother.

Johnny and Nichole continued to chant, and roots came out of the ground and formed an arch, a window into another world. The roots were moving and grabbing a few of the creatures into the portal.

“Be gone, you beast” shouted Grandma, preparing to use her magic again.

“As you wish, you old wench, but wait, I have something that you care about, your foolish husband and daughter-in-law ” laughed the beast.

Grandma didn’t know if he was lying or not. But it didn’t matter; they couldn't open the evil portal, no matter what.

“You’re lying.” She shouted.

“Oh really?” Wait and see.” He laughed and summoned the creature that was holding them hostage.

“The other sluagh grabbed Mom and Grandpa and dropped them both into the ground.

If you cast all of us out, we will kill them and wear their dead bodies like your friend, Mr. Samson. We will always come back." It said.

One of the creatures grabbed Mom's hair and started dragging her toward the burial ground and throwing her there.

Chris was angry to see his mom dragged, so he headed toward the sluagh, jumped at its back, and started to grab his head and slam it on the tombstone multiple times. The beast quickly approached Chris, attempting to kill him, but Johnny couldn't let that happen to his brother. Johnny knew that he must save his brother; he immediately stepped out of the circle and flashed the flashlight into its red eyes to blind it, and the beast started to screech.

The beast dodged Johnny's second attempt to blind him with his wings and quickly grabbed Johnny by the neck and began to choke him. It removed the necklace and threw it in the ground. Johnny scratches and struggles to get out of its grip.

Chris saw that his brother was in trouble and dropped the injured sluagh

‘Hey asshole, try to pick on someone your own size!” He shouted.

The beat turned around and screeched, and Chris sucker punched its mussel, tackled it, and repeatedly punched it. It let go of Johnny; Johnny gasped for air, and Nichole quickly ran toward Johnny. Others started to run toward the teens, but Grandma used all the strength of her magic left to spread light toward the dark cemetery to blind the creatures.

The majority had quickly retreated into the darkness.

Mom and Grandpa took that opportunity to knock some creatures toward the portal, and the roots grabbed the creatures right away.

“We don’t have much time; the portal will be closing soon! Yelled Grandma.

Chis had done the same by grabbing the injured beast and attempting to throw it there, and Portal and many more were heading toward him.

The beast wasn’t ready to give up just yet; if it is going to be stuck in that world, he must take Chris with him. When the roots grabbed the bear, it quickly grabbed Chris’s leg and didn’t let go. Chris was getting dragged along with him quickly.

Johnny and Nichole quickly ran toward Chris, holding his hand tight and attempted to pull him back, but it wasn’t working.

Johnny quickly grabbed a rock and hit the beast's head, and it let go of Chris.

“You are going to pay for this!” Shouted the beast angrily.

The beast used the last of his strength to quickly grab Johnny by the hoodie and dragged him instead.

The portal closed after Johnny fell in
