Goth

My curiosity gets the better of me and I walk towards the door that I saw the goth kids going. “What would kids like that do at a party? I step through the doorway and enter a decent size room that has some brown blankets tacked to the walls and some candles lit on the floor. There are a bunch of people in the room, three guys and two girls to be specific, all with black hair and random piercings in their face. They all are wearing long black robes for some reason. On the floor in the middle of the room is a pentagram painted in red.

“Cute…” I thought to myself.

“I see we have a new member among us. Welcome!” I hear the voice and look up. Straight ahead on the other side of the demon star one of the guys is staring at me, a smile on his face.

The door is closed behind me by another, startling me a little. The other members move around the star and kneel down, evenly distributed around it. I presume the one that greeted me is the leader, as hasn’t moved from his spot yet.

“Oh no. I was just curious what you guys were up to.” I said.

His smile didn’t fade. “That’s all right. Perhaps you will stay and assist us at least. We promise you an experience you won’t get anywhere else.”

“What would I have to do to ‘assist’ you?” I ask, my curiosity building. In the back of my mind I’m picturing hallucinogens of some sort.”

“Simply stand in the middle and name a boon. We will take care of the rest.” He said, still with his calm smile.

“Boon?”

“Such as strength, cunning, life, loyalty, courage, or even resilience before ****!” He stares at me waiting for my response.
