Hi guys, sorry the last chapter will be a bit slow. October is around the corner and since it's my favorite time of year, I'm working on a story for the Halloween contest. Happy reading and please leave feedback!

A different type of Game
Ethan took Lilly to the bathroom to clean her up. Her beautiful face was wet from her tears and her eyes held allot of fear in them. Hell, given what this girl has been through; he was surprised she could even smile at him. Being forced to have sex with someone and stay with them against your own will is tough enough, but now she has to endure that and accept the fact that Ethan's not human. If every other creature tries to abuse her, she would lose her mind. Ethan had to make sure no one ever touched her again. Finally when she was cleaned up and smiling a little again, Ethan escorted her down the stairs like a true gentleman.
"Where have you guys been? I've found the Ouija board and when I got inside no one was here, not even Dean."
"Amber, Dean left and Lilly wasn't feeling too well. I just took her to the bathroom to cool her face down with some water."
Amber stared at them, she thought they were making up excuses for fooling around in the bathroom, but she let it go anyway.
"Come one guys, it's nearly 11 o' clock, we have to set everything up to create the right mood."
We both followed Amber to the living room and started moving the couches into the corner of the room. There was already a rug in the middle that would be the place where we were going to play. Ethan helped me close the curtains and every time I would reach up with my hands above my head, I would get a terrible pain in my head. I knew that was from the blow I received from Dean. Ethan got mad when he saw me grab my head to try and press the pain away. I just tried to ignore his possessive glare and carried on setting up the room. Amber grabbed a few candles and placed them on the floor around the board. It gave this whole setup a very spooky feeling, but that's the way she wanted it.
I knew that some people considered these boards as a stupid game and others said it was the gateway to hell. Since I'm already dating a demon, I have nothing to worry about...I think. I knew all the basic rules of Ouija, the most important one are: never try to intimidate or joke about the presence you are communicating with, never ask them to show themselves and always treat every spirit with respect. The most important one was to always say goodbye to a sprit properly before removing your fingers from the planchette.
Finally everything was finished and Amber disappeared into the kitchen. Ethan and I wondered what she was doing and then she came back with toilet paper, matches and a pen.
Confused and a little amused, I looked at her, "Amber, what the hell are you going to do with those?"
Amber smiled and explained to me, "Well, I'm going to use these items to talk to the sprits first. It a little trick I learned in high school with Naz, that exchange student from South Africa. Ouija boards weren't so popular there, so they used this way to communicate with spirits."
"I remember Naz now; she was the short one with the light blonde hair. Well how does this work?"
"First you take three matches, and write on each of them one of these words; 'yes', 'no' and 'maybe'. When you're done each match should have one of those three words on them. This will be used to communicate with them. Next you take the toilet paper and shred three blocks off individually. Now take one of the matches and place it in the middle of one of the toilet paper blocks. When you place the match in the toilet paper, make sure the two ends of the match are facing towards two corners of the toilet paper. Now take the other two ends of the toilet paper (where the match isn't pointed to) and place them together. Now if you hold the two ends together, the match should be lying in the middle. While you are holding the ends, grab the part of the toilet paper where the match is lying and gently roll up the match in the toilet paper. Just repeat this with the other two. When you are done the stuff should look like little rolled up toilet paper sticks."
Ethan chuckled at Amber when she almost shredded the paper in half.
"Now, place them on top of each other or any other way you would like and then make your mind clear. You can only ask questions were the answer could be 'yes', 'no' or 'maybe', so keep that in mind. You can ask the questions out loud or in your mind, just depends on how much you concentrate. Before you play you must first ask are you allowed to play. There are more rules, but I'm going to go thru them and tell you as we come across them."
Amber quickly got the matches and toilet paper right and soon they were lying in the middle of the floor, waiting for us.
Amber instructed us to sit in a circle and hold hands, just to prove that she was not cheating.
"Guys the first thing you must remember is that you will be talking to a spirit named 'Tambora'. You always start your questions with first saying that name three times and then asking your question also three times. Let me show you."
Amber grabbed our hands and told us to look at the matches to make sure she wasn't cheating. She took a deep breath and then spoke.
"Tambora, Tambora, Tambora. Can I play this game? Can I play this game? Can I play this game?"
Amber sounded like a broken record that got stuck, but she actually looked serious about this. When she opened her eyes we waited for her to show us what to do next.
"Now when you are done asking, you take the toilet paper and unroll it to see which match mysteriously showed up on the outside of the center of the toilet paper. Remember to keep both ends together when you unroll it. If you haven't got an answer, the match should still be in the centre like before you rolled it up in the beginning. If you have an answer, the match won't be in the centre; instead it will fall out when you unroll it – and that would be your answer."
Both me and Ethan picked up a piece and started unrolling. First I unrolled mine; the match was still in the centre and that meant that I didn't have the answer. I glanced over at Ethan while he was opening his, he didn't seem very interested, but took part anyway. When he unrolled his, you could clearly see the match outside of the centre and when we looked to see which match it was, we saw that it was the 'yes' match.
My eyes grew big and couldn't believe that this actually worked. Amber just gave me a smile and proceeded to give us more information on this game.
"Now you see that I'm allowed to play. Every player that want's to participate must first ask. Sometimes you will keep on getting 'no', just keep on asking. When you are done reading your answer just roll everything up like in the beginning and continue with questions. When you are done playing, remember to ask if you can end the game, it's just as important like asking can you begin. Lastly you break the matches and throw them away."
Lilly looked at Amber and then rolled her eyes, "I can see that this game works, but I want to get more answers from them. Let's just skip this and go straight to the Ouija board."
Amber agreed with Lilly and proceeded to ask the spirit if she could quit. Luckily on the first try she got 'yes' so she cleaned up and placed the board in the middle. While she was sitting and waiting for them to begin, she could literally hear Ethan talking to her in her mind.
'My Angel don't be scared, I'm just talking to you telepathically. I don't want your friend to hear me.'
