The Tome of Darkness

From the darkness a powerful voice spoke "All men crave power, even the most humble of souls long after it... We must use this aspect of human nature to bring them to their knees. We must enter the human realm in order to have full power over it" Baphomet stated. Stepping out of the darkness the head of the demonic legion looked at his comrades, confidence blazing in his fiery red eyes. Beelzebub his second in commend look up at his leader with reverence "Baphomet, I am willing to make this sacrifice". Bushyasta a feminine demon stood next to Beelzebub gazing at her superiors with cold black eyes. Bowing she whispered "Masters, I am willing to give what is required". Baphomet smiled reviling dagger like teeth and in a voice like thunder bellowed "Very well, this night will be remembered for all time. We will rise, and release our brethren upon the earth". One of the damned approached the three demons. Blood trickled from his open veins leaving a trail of blood behind him. Bowing deeply the skinless man held out a large book fashioned from human skin. Baphomet snatched the book from the hands of the soul. Terror and agony played across his skinless face as he retreated into the darkness. "Once we have bound our selves into this tome it will be placed in the human realm, where we will wait for the day of our wrath upon their world, and the resurrection of the Dark Lord".

Angelina rushed down the hallway of her dorm looking franticly around her. Clutched to her breasts was an old leather-bound book weathered and worn with age. Under her breath she whispered "Good... They must not realize that it's missing yet". As she rounded the corner of the hallway a young woman stood leaning against a wall hidden in the hood of her sweater. "Is this the tome?" she asked. Angelina quickly replied "Yes, this is it. Are you sure about this Donna?" She cool replied "You know we have to go through with this Lewis will think we are cowards if we back down now... Besides we are just borrowing it for a while". Angelina retorted "Borrowing? Is that the new term for stealing now? Where is Lewis any way?" Donna's smile turned to a grimace "I don't know... He said that he will meet us soon". The two young thieves walked to their dorm room calmly, giving the appearance of two simple collage students turning in for night. They knew that no one would suspect them, really who would expect the Staten sisters of stealing Professor Parker's ancient book? With that thought in mind Donna laughed to herself. Reaching their room Donna tried to unlocked the door, but found that it was open. As she opened the door the power flicker leaving the pair in darkness. The ancient tome began to glow faintly in the darkness. The sisters noticed this for a moment before the power returned, but quickly dismissed it.

Entering the room Lewis Nelson greeted them "Well who would have thought that you two would be able to pull this off? Congregations ladies". Throwing back the hood of her sweater Angelina scowled. Lewis simply smiled. Donna removed her hood as well reviling a mirror image of her sister. "Shut up Lewis!" Donna retorted scrawling. Lewis began to snort loudly as the beautiful twins tried their best to look murderous. Taking control of himself he relied "Stop! Please girls I can't take any more of this!" Angelina smiled sweet and replied "Lewis... I'm holding of the most power tomes ever written... Do you really want to piss me off?" Lewis instantly stopped laughing "Well are you ready to open the tome or do you want to stand there scowling at me all night?" The twins exchanged a look and sat in the floor placing the book in front of them. Lewis moved closer and began examining the tome. Smiling he took Angelina's hand the cover. Angelina noticed how the lock under her fingers resembled three B's interwoven to form a triangle. Before he could touch her, Donna placed her fingers below Angelina's. Taking a deep breath Lewis placed his fingers next to Donna's. Angelina tried to move her hand could not. Donna cursed. Lewis said weakly "Ok... Don't panic..." Strange whispers began to fill the room. They quickly jerked their hands away from the cover. As they watched the interwoven lock unwound its self, and the book sprang open. Clouds of blackness spewed from within the book's pages. They tried to scream, but it was too late. The black mist swirled around them. Slowly the mist slit into three shadowy forms. The shadows towered over the students, as their glowing red eyes peering into their souls. Transfixed Donna and Lewis gazed helplessly into the eyes of Bushyasta and Beelzebub. The shadows turned to mist around them overshadowing Lewis and Donna. Angelina watched in horror, as the demons merged with her sister and stepbrother. Smiling Lewis and Donna regarded Angelina with cold black eyes. She quickly turned her eyes to the floor refusing to look at her family or the third demon. The last shadowy figure knelt beside her and whispered softly "Stop fighting... You are mine now..." Angelina weakly retorted "If you are real and this is happening... Professor Parker said that demons can't possess a person unless they agree to it... I will never be yours!" Baphomet moved closer. Looking the small young woman in the eyes he replied "By opening the book you gave your self to me". For Angelina the world turned to blackness and she felt herself falling into a place filled with nightmares and horror beyond belief.
