Third Person Narration: It's a really spooky night, with thunder rumbling across sky and rain pelting hard upon me hitting my hardened self like a needle. The rivulet beside me is red, bubbling with the corpses of rabbits, does and birds. The skies have also decided to add their element of horror in the form of diamond-edged raindrops. But they are coming towards me again. They came here seven years back as boys and now they are coming as men and this time they have company and why not they are now men and they have their respective lady loves.

Cybil signals action time and women begin to unpack the contents of the bag. Fox takes the pinch of salt from it and draws a circle around me and all six of them step inside the circle. And just then a little boy with claws on his hand and feet emerged from woods and tried to get inside the circle but couldn't do so as some current seemed to repel him as he touched it.Frightened by all these Cybil beacons to start the ritual. The first pour the spring water in it followed by herbs and then the three men put the stone into it.

While all this is happening inside the circle the world outside is going mad. The bloody rain is pelting the earth; thunder is ramming and the ground is heaving, as the six of them one by one cut their hand with a strange knife, uttering some as they do so. Meanwhile, the devil little boy has started an engulfing fire that is all roaring to consume them. One by one they light up their candles and as they light the seventh and last one together uttering the same set of words together an absolute blast has strewn them apart and the world around me has just gone black like a hell, or is it a Hell actually.
