It all started with a dare. The group of friends, all in their late teens, had been hanging out in the abandoned house on the edge of town. They had heard the rumors of it being haunted, but they didn't believe it. They thought it would be fun to explore the old, decrepit building and tell ghost stories. But as the night went on, the stories became more and more chilling. They began to wonder if the house was truly haunted.

One of the friends, a boy named Jake, suggested they try to summon a ghost. The others laughed, thinking it was just a joke. But Jake was serious. He had read up on the subject and believed that he knew the right words and rituals to bring forth a spirit. The others were hesitant, but eventually agreed to give it a try.

They formed a circle in the dusty living room, holding hands and reciting the words Jake had taught them. They didn't know what they were expecting, but they were certainly not prepared for what happened next.

As they finished the ritual, a dark figure appeared in the center of the circle. It was a demon, with glowing red eyes and sharp claws. The friends screamed and tried to run, but the demon had already taken hold of their minds. They were trapped, unable to move or speak.

The demon began to torment them, showing them visions of their worst fears and memories. It whispered dark thoughts in their ears, tempting them with promises of power and wealth. The friends were trapped in a nightmare, unable to escape.

But there was one among them who was stronger than the others. Her name was Sarah, and she had always been fascinated by the supernatural. She had studied the occult and knew that there was a way to vanish the demon. But she had to act fast, before the demon consumed them all.

Sarah began to recite the words of a powerful exorcism, her voice strong and steady. The demon tried to stop her, but she was too powerful. It recoiled in pain as the exorcism took hold.

The friends were released from the demon's grip, and they ran out of the house as fast as they could. They never spoke of what had happened that night, but they all knew that they had been lucky to escape with their lives.

But the demon was not gone. It had been banished, but not destroyed. It lay in wait, biding its time until it could take its revenge on the friends who had dared to summon it.

Years passed, and the friends went on with their lives. They went to college, got jobs, and started families. They thought that they had left the demon behind, but they were wrong.

One by one, the friends began to experience strange occurrences. They would see the demon in their dreams, or hear its voice whispering in their ear. They began to feel like they were being watched, and they were always on edge.

They knew that the demon had not forgotten about them, and that it was coming for them. They tried to warn the others, but they didn't believe them. They thought that their friends had just lost their minds.

But the demon was real, and it was getting stronger. It had been waiting for the right moment to strike, and it had found it.

One by one, the friends began to disappear. They would go out for a walk and never come back. The others searched for them, but they were never found.

Finally, only Sarah was left. She knew that the demon was after her, and she prepared for the final battle. She gathered all of the knowledge and power she had acquired over the years, and she waited for the demon to come for her.

The demon appeared before her, its red eyes glowing with malice. It taunted her, reminding her of the night they had summoned it and the friends it had taken. But Sarah was not afraid. She knew that this was her chance to end the demon's reign of terror once and for all.

With all of her strength and determination, Sarah began the exorcism once again. This time, she was not alone. The spirits of her lost friends had come to her aid, giving her the power she needed to banish the demon for good.

The demon fought back with all its might, but it was no match for the combined strength of Sarah and her friends. With one final scream, the demon was sucked back into the underworld, never to be seen again.

Sarah stood victorious, but her heart was heavy with the loss of her friends. She knew that they would never be forgotten, and that they would always be with her in spirit.

From that day on, the abandoned house on the edge of town was avoided by all. No one dared to enter, for fear of what might still be lurking inside. But Sarah knew that the house was now a sanctuary, a place where her friends rested in peace. And she knew that they would always be there to protect her, and to remind her of the night they had accidentally summoned a demon.
