Chapter Description: Ray messes with the wrong demon....

“I have a bad feeling about this Ray,” Ethan said timidly.

Ray ripped the cardboard box into pieces. He took the largest piece and laid it flat on the table. Ray beckoned Ethan with his hand.

“Give me the Sharpie.”

Ethan reluctantly handed him the black marker. Ray took it and started writing out the board. Ethan shivered in fear for what might come.

“This is stupid man. Haven’t you heard those stories of people who are cursed?”

“Exactly,” Ray responded, “Stories. How do you know there true? We’ll never know until we try.” Ray wrote yes and no at the corners of the board and circled them. He wrote the alphabet and the numbers required to make the talking board. Finally, he wrote the words, GOOD BYE at the bottom.

“Don’t we need one of those triangle things?” Ethan asked. Ray nodded and took another piece of cardboard. He reached into his pocket and withdrew a pocketknife. He flicked it open and carved out a triangle. Afterwards, he cut out a hold in the middle. He set it on the completed board.

Ethan still didn’t want to do this. He wanted to see a ghost, but he knew that demons are powerful, and that they could possess him if they had the desire to. What if….

“You ready?” Ray asked. He looked at Ethan with impatience.

Ethan blinked and nodded. “Yeah, ready as I’ll ever be.”

Ray and Ethan set two of their fingers on the triangle. Ethan beckoned Ray to speak.

“You do it, I’m scared.”

“Wimp, fine,” Ray said, “Is anyone here?”

To Ethan’s horror, the triangle began to move. It shifted until the hole was over the word, YES.

“Swear to me right now man, that you did not move that!” Ethan ordered. Ray’s face hid nothing. He was as surprised as Ethan.

Ray swallowed. “What is your name?”

The triangle moved once more. It spelt, I DON’T REMEMBER. Ray and Ethan looked at each other. Ray sighed.

“Are you….a demon?”

The triangle slid again. It went over the word YES.

Ethan started breathing heavily. Ray said, “Calm down, it can’t hurt us unless we let it in.”

Ray licked his lips. “Can you do anything?”

The triangle did a loop, but stayed on the word YES.

Ray laughed. “Show us.”

Ethan’s eyes widened. “What are you doing? You’re gonna get us killed!”

While he when on ranting, the triangle moved again. It spelt out, OK.

Ethan looked every which way. He looked back at Ray, who just watched, entranced. “What’s going on?” Ethan asked frantically, “I feel, small.”

Ray watched as Ethan stood up, his skin writhing. Ethan grew shorter as his clothes became baggier. The smaller Ethan got, the clearer the image behind him became. Ray stared wide-eyed at the entity behind him. Her entire body was in grayscale, and appeared to be nude. Her hair flowed over her shoulders, covering one nipple. She was watching Ethan’s transformation as well.

Ethan hyperventilated as his pants finally fell down. His hair thinned out and his facial features grew softer and rounder. Ethan’s Avenged Sevenfold shirt went down to his knees and his pants were pulled around his ankles. He stepped out of them, leaving behind his shoes and socks. Ethan looked up at the astounded Ray. His pleaded to him for help. Ethan continued to get smaller until he finally felt the strange feelings stop.

Ethan looked up at Ray again, thinking him to be a giant. He tried to speak, but found he couldn’t form words, only sounds. Ray didn’t respond, he just continued staring at the completely visible apparition behind Ethan.

Ethan felt himself being lifted. He was turned around and came face to face with the apparition. He knew he should’ve been scared, terrified even, of this demon, yet he felt completely at ease when in the demon’s arms.

“Yesssssss,” the female demon hissed, “Submit child. You need not fear anymore.”

Ray slowly approached the demon. The demon looked at him and laughed. She snapped her fingers and Ray was immediately paralyzed. He couldn’t move or speak. It was as if he had been turned to stone.

The demon set Ethan on the counter and pulled off his ridiculously large shirt. Ethan knew he should’ve felt modesty, yet he felt no shame in front of the demon. Perhaps it was the effect of being this young. Ethan saw that his genitals were shrunken and small, yet he felt no sense of loss. His skin was soft and he felt fragile. The demon gave an evil smile. It lifted Ethan once more and cradled him. Ray watched as it guided Ethan’s mouth to her exposed nipple. Ethan felt no reluctance as he latched on and sucked its milk. It was warm and soothing to Ethan. He was trouble remembering things now. It was as if his knowledge was melting away with each mouthful of the milk. Who were his parents? Why did the name Ray sound familiar? Who was he? Ethan wondered all this as his eyes grew heavy and closed.

“Let it all go away, child. You will always be cared for from now on, without a worry in the world,” the demon rambled. It set the sleeping Ethan in a dark crib that it had created out of nothing. It kissed him on the forehead before turning to the still paralyzed Ray. Ray’s eyes followed the demon as it approached him. Ray was beginning to question whether or not to submit to the demon.

“It is your turn, my boy,” the demon whispered. Ray found he could move again and stood up straight. When the demon walked close enough, Ray jutted a large cross out.

“In the name of Jesus Christ, I banish you….”

The demon had already begun its work. Even as Ray rambled he found the cross getting heavier and heavier. His shirt sleeves grew longer and his pants loosened. Ray stopped his chant when his pants slid to floor. He looked at his arms and legs. He couldn’t have been older than fourteen.

“PLEASE STOP!” Ray pleaded pathetically. The demon smiled, and then shook its head. Ray tripped and fell to the floor. He pushed himself up, not caring that he was reduced to only his too large shirt. Ray felt helpless as he looked up at the giant goddess demon that loomed over him. Ray pleaded and pleaded until his knowledge of speech left him. When the shrinking feeling stopped, Ray merely babbled incoherent noises as the demon lifted him.

Like with Ethan, the demon set Ray on his feet on the counter. She lifted his shirt off, revealing his smooth toddler body. Ray had seen that Ethan didn’t feel embarrassment, and he felt that way too. It was like being naked in front of his mother. There was no shame. The demon repeated the breastfeeding with Ray. Ray looked at the nipple, and felt the same desire that Ethan had to suck it. He latched on eagerly and drank of the demon’s dark milk. Ray’s knowledge melted away as his tummy grew warm and full. He would never lose his self-awareness, but he wouldn’t remember anything prior to this night.

“There is no reason to be afraid,” the demon whispered as Ray fed. “You and your friend will always be cared for. I may be a demon, but I love babies, and you two will make lovely pets.”

Ray’s eyes grew heavy and he pulled his lips away from the nipple. He felt the demon shift his position so she could lift Ethan. She mumbled unintelligible words and Ray’s body shivered, as if struck by static electricity.

Before his eyes fell completely shut, he saw a line of dark cribs.
