The chosen

I remember clearly, there were five of us, two guys and three girls who were trying to chase the group of people that swore to bring "the chosen" into the world. They were more than us and were better prepared for whatever was coming, we were asked, begged to find them before it was too late, even though we were too young and not very many, we were determinated to keep the town safe from all evil.

For a second I thought it was just a prank, a bunch of kids trying to win their parents and neighbors attention, never realized that evil can hide in the most unthinkable places like our town. As we were looking for them in every school and abandoned house, I remembered what my Dad told me when he caught me once playing with the Ouija board and a few friends: "there is always a dark side in every person, do not wake yours". 

We were about to give up the chasing when one of the guys heard a "singing" in the woods,  we kept quiet and got closer, there were holding hands making a circle, 8 of them singing in a different language but very calm..almost peacefully.

They weren´t using the guns and knives we saw before, we looked at them very surprised by their behavior. One of our guys shout: -we found you! enough with the nonsense!- and they immediately stopped singing, the guy who seemed to be the leader of the gang answered: -we won´t run away, we won´t keep fighting, we just want to remain here. -We can´t leave you here, this is ridiculous, you´re coming home with us guys.- I said. I took off my backpack and asked the other guys to help me tie them up until one of the adults came to pick us up, surprisingly they were not refusing it, you could almost see a hint of satisfaction in their eyes and a hidden smile in their mouths. We finished, they were standing up very quiet with the leader right in front of me, one of the girls who was with us said whatever was about to happened it was already ruined, it was the middle of the night and they were supposed to bring "The chosen one" at midnight. Their parents were on their way, and their hands and feet were tied up, there was no way that they could run away or even do anything without us stopping it. 

A few seconds passed and I was starting to get nervous, I´m not the kind of people who believes in these kind of crap you know?  witches and demons, evil and all that stuff, besides they were just like us, highschool kids with the same lack of entertainment, enough to come up with the stupid idea of organizing a sect.

But the air felt odd, the "leader" was staring at me almost smiling and that was making me feel upset, I remember I told him: -what the hell are you staring at, moron?-  he simply smiled satisfied, I´ll never forget the look on his eyes or what that made me feel, keeping his creepy smile he said looking at me: -Welcome master, we were expecting you-. 

His words burned in my ears and raised a heat that was coming from my guts up, making me sweat and shiver, everybody was staring at me horrified and shocked, I felt it filling me like flames, burning down one by one my thoughts, I could feel my whole inside changing into something I didn´t want to be and I screamed: -Kill me! I have it in me! Kill me!!, but before I closed my eyes I saw on their faces, it was already too late for that...
