Prologue

My heart felt as if it was about to explode.

I ignored the cars that were blaring their horns at me and just carried on running.

It was a cold day, it was winter after all, but I pushed that all aside.

My foot slipped on a piece of ice and I landed hard on my knee. Not even giving myself a second of respite, I ignored the pain coming from my knee and forced myself to get up and continue running.

I honestly never hated myself more than this moment.

I should have seen the signs, should have seen that his love had turned to something darker. But to think that a simple, childish, idea among us and our friends could have done this?

Maybe I didn't actually know him as well as I thought I did.

Turning the final corner, I sprinted down the residential street, jumping over any patches of ice of snow that were in my way.

And then I finally reached it, the house at the end of the street. His house.

My thundering heart was the only thing I could hear and as I stepped closer to the door, I noticed, with a feeling of dread that Carmen's bike was already here. And if Carmen, who was pretty much late to everything, here, that meant the others were as well.

Bolting to the front door I banged my fist against it. "Guys! Stop!"

I tried opening the door, because even if there was a small chance it was left unlocked- and then the screaming began.

Blind panic filled me as I began smashing my fists against the glass part of the door.

Crack

I uncurled my bloodied fist from the other side as the full volume of the screams- their screams- my friends – hit me.

Pushing the key fully into the keyhole, I unlocked the door and- silence.

The screams had stopped.

I suddenly felt very cold.

My hands were shaking as I opened the door and rushed to the room.

I stopped at the threshold and stared.

There, making a circle, were the fallen bodies of my friends.

As my eyes drifted over each of their bodies, my mind brought up memories of each.

Leone. Hey hey hey! Don't be so sullen! Look you'll win the next round alright?
Sandra. I'm telling you, if this chick thinks she can just talk trash about me imam go set her straight.
Nazir. How is it that I always end up hanging out with you guys? You all annoy me.
Carmen. Thanks for helping me out.

But there was someone left standing, at the opposite end of the room, at the head of the circle.
Someone who I once thought as a friend.

"Ah," his voice croaked. "You just missed the fun."

He was slowly swaying and his eyes were unfocused as he stared at the empty spot in the centre of the horror circle.

The floor was covered in markings, strange symbols and somewhere in my mind I registered the fact that I had seen these before. In fact I had been shown them.

My eyes went to the only person who was left standing. He showed them to me.

Opening my mouth, I found that my voice had left me so instead I glared at him with all the hate I could muster.

He let out an airy chuckle and staggered into the centre of the circle.

Tilting his head back he looked at me, his eyes finally focusing on my own. "You can't do anything to stop this now." The room started darkening, the symbols slowly glowing an eerie silver.

"The rituals already been complete, all that's left is for me to go where I truly belong."

"You're fucking insane." I blurted out, finally finding my voice.

The light from the symbols started moving as one around the circle, forming a vortex separating me from him. And the bodies of my friends.

"I'm finally going home!" His insane laughter rang out from behind the swirling mass of silver.

The silver rose higher and higher until it reached the ceiling. It enveloped everything in the circle. I stepped back- intimidated, confused- I don't know- don't know what-

My foot bumped into something. I looked down.

Carmen.

Out of everyone, we were the closest. We hadn't known each other for long, maybe about a year and a half, but we just instantly clicked.

Her gentleness fit perfectly against my blunt attitude.

We were a pair.

Not anymore.

And I knew exactly who was to blame.

The vortex had increased in speed but I couldn't find myself to care.

I could very well be stepping to my own death.

Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes, jumped into the circle-

And was immediately pulled by some unknown force.

Up. Down. Left. Right. There was no direction anymore. There was nothing but the blinding light behind my closed eyelids and this odd feeling of being encased in ice.

Was I even breathing? Do I even need to breathe?

Hold on... what was my name again?

What was I doing just now?

It... felt important.

I... need to remember... something.

I... need... to... remember... him.

The cold seeped into my bones, into my very being.

Remember. Him.

The coldness spread to my brain, numbing my entire mind.

Him.

And then there was only white.
