"But the real thing is, to find a way for passing the test, is to summon a demon" I said to Susane.

"Which genre is it?"

"....."

"Wait wait, Comedy I guess? Or Romance, huh?" She laughed before turning Serious in a second "What crap are you talking about?"

"Jeez, your emotions creeps me" I said, fixing my place "But I'm serious"

"Like hell you are"

"... he will come from hell tho—"

"I- Anyways, do have any idea about how this works and it all may be false. Such things doesn't exists" she said.

Dude, I'm tired of hearing the same old line!

"I also thought that but it's no harm in trying. I already got the spell and trying to gain concentration through manifestation"

"What if it doesn't work? You'll lose a huge opportunity"

"Susane, I believe that it will work, afterall it's one of the strongest energy in the universe. I'll make it, you see" I smiled.

She sighed, looked at me for a while and then sat down beside me.

"Grace, I don't know much about all this stuffs but we should always search for positivity. Worship gods rather than demons, seek happiness not cruelty. You will never know what might happen to you. What if you won't find a way to send them back to hell? What if—"

"Hey, calm down! I know all this but I really don't have any other way. Please don't try to stop me. I thought a lot and won't back off now" I said.

"Fine" she stood up "I'll only say that, whatever you do, just try to give a second thought about it. A single mistake may cost your whole life" with that she left, leaving me in an awe.

What's her problem, man? Such a grandma and she doesn't need to tell me what should I do. Like any problem will occur! Many people on the internet told that they got their desired results and it's all perfect and it will go smoothly for me too. It just need some more time.

I started concentrating on my work. The day passed pretty soon and now the clouds were all saffron, floating in the sky. I waved everyone "bye" and left the health centre at the end of the day. Now I just need to go home and take a nap, I'm too tired.

"Can you please move aside?" An old man said to me as I was sitting inside a public bus.

"Sure" I moved aside as he took a seat beside me. There was a tense aura in the bus, too many people and I was feeling fustrated. The old man pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and started smoking.

"What the—?" It was already hella uncomfortable and he is smoking his this situation. Just wow! I was about to say something to him but Knowing that my stop is about to come, I remained silent.

I came down from the bus and went straight to my room.

"I'm back guys" I said, entering inside the room. Only Sara was present there as others were out for their jobs and will return by 7.

"Welcome back, I just returned from college" she said and I nodded "How was your day?"

"Same as usual. What about yours?" I asked.

"We had lots of fun in the cafeteria today and as it is my third year, I'll be moving out soon" Sara said.

"Oh" I said after a pause "Sara, does that means you'll never come back here and will leave us forever?"

"Mhmm, we'll still contact with each other but yeah, my family will come to take me and I'll return to my house" she smiled.

"I see... you're lucky. I don't even know if I have to spend my whole life here or not. Even the others are also thinking to move out from this junk" I said, putting my bag on the mattress and sitting on the floor.

"Don't worry, everyone's time will come" she said. I took a shower and went to take a nap. I still have to study few things from the internet and I'll be trying to summon Furcas tonight again and yeah, there will be no moon tonight so I think it's the perfect time.

.

"Grace?" I opened my eyes and looked at Bella, the light was dim and I already knew it already night "Wake up, it's 9"

"Oh" I said, before opening my eyes widely "Wait! 9?? Why didn't you wake me up before?" I dashed up.

"You were sleeping very peacefully, that's why. You're fine now?" 

"Uhh, yeah! Thanks" I scratched my head. Everyone was back. I opened my phone and started reading a book. Didn't except that, did you? It's bit weird but I love reading books specially of @alex_in_space. He is my favourite author since last year and I freaking love his books.

Romance, Comedy, Science Fiction, Horror, Thriller and what not? He has more than 30 books in NovelKing and some are even out in market too. I'm the biggest fan of him. 

"Pff-" I laughed while reading a chapter of his story. It was a rom-com. Do you know what's the speciality in his stories? He has a great sense of humour! Yeah! He is a Freaking flipping fucked flashing flickering KING! He should have been the KING OF NOVELKING! Why is he not? I need the damn answers!!

Wait— I being too alarmed, hehe but still, he is such a sweetheart and also replies to his followers in the comment section. He replied to my comments many times and even shared his experience of swimming in one of his books though I never privately messaged him, or you can say, never dared to?

It took me an hour to complete the book. 

"It was amazing!" I smiled, thinking that should I make a move to have a chat with my favourite author. I didn't think much this time and finally texted him a message.

"Hey Alex! I don't know if you still remember me or not but we talked thrice in comments and I want to let you know that you're amazing! I love your books so much and is your biggest fan from last year! I don't how to say this but yeah! You're the best! Never ever stop writing!" 

Sent!

"Yay!" I giggled as everyone looked at me "I made a move guys! I texed my favourite author PRIVATELY!!"

"Woah! Took you years to do but we are happy for you" they gave me a thumbs up and smiled.

"Thank you!!!" I smiled "Let's go for dinner" we moved out of the hostel and went to the nearby stall for buying food. It's the only place where we can get good food at cheap prices.

The dinner was same as usual and we paid for our own. The night was awfully chill, my whole self shook up as we paid.

"You okay, Grace?"

"Uh? Hmm, it's just I'm feeling pretty cold" I replied.

"That's unusual! Today isn't that cold" Sara said and everyone nodded. I looked at them all

"Maybe I'm going to have a fever then" I pouted and we all came to the room.

I waited for everyone to sleep and when it was exactly midnight, I stepped out of the room, carefully, not to make a noise. The hallway was completely dark, not a soul is present there and the only light is our room's dim bulb. 

The body shivered. I felt uncomfortable while doing it today but still I took a step forward into the dark and slowly made my way to the washroom. I opened the door with a creak sound and turned the lights on.

With a relief sigh, I entered inside and sat down, taking out the Furcas sigil and my phone.

"Secore on ca Furcas Remie" I repeated, taking deep breaths. Please, just please let it work now. It's absolutely wrong to call the demon in the place like washroom but I don't have any choice either.

I waited and waited for the air to change, for getting a different vibe but nothing happened. I opened my eyes slowly but as soon as I opened my eyes, 

The lights went off!
