Crawling Creeps

Four college students. Ones always looking for a bigger picture are easy to manipulate. A single incantation from a page, from one who studies ancient text. From the mouth of a student of the world who believes in anything and all, they see as truth in their own minds.

A trigger of incompetence and ignorance can come to be. Even if all work and preparation has been set in order yo prevent such outcomes.

These five students read from pages of a lost people. A single ‘smart’ individual saw the page and looked at it as a puzzle to figure out.

He read the page and they came into our world. The pages title was.

‘Crawlers.’

From a magic circle in a barred off room. With a fake wall of plaster. These Crawlers found their way through the minimal portal inside the frailly sealed off room.

Dangerous and scampy creatures of the darker sides of realms. Observers. Devious. Clever. Patient. Kind of…

And aggressive.

They are small but with polymorphic abilities. Usually used to increase the size of claws or teeth.

Gret, Morv, Go’lisk, Mosh, and Jghorishk made their way through. All considered, ‘Crawler’ class demons.

It took a whole forty minutes to break through the wall. Once they did the humans were gone.

None of them were seen at that point. But they could track their humans. Every single one who were in the ritual. Unlike most of their escapes, where their humans were all in different directions.

These humans were all in the same place.

With a ritual from their own dwelling, the creatures spoke verses lost to man. And when they arrived to a relative point near their targets. It was a small dark space…

“Your touching me!” Morv moaned, in a gritty light voice,

“Shut up assfuck!” Mosh barked, still a light voice but gruffer.

“Both of you shut your fucking mouths. Neither of you have been to this plane yet. We can’t go in stupidly. We must isolate our humans. So shut the fuck up. Obey me.” Jghorishk glowered in a rough deep scratchy voice, a tall broad silhouette, towering over the other four demons.

Go’lisk, stood forward.

“You do not scare me. I know de way. The old way. You, too, know one way. I will not stand against you brother. You lead.” Go’lisk stated,

Gret remained silent.

Jghorishk stomped once in agitation, “I wanted trained demons. All of you! But some how you all crept out! Go’lisk is the only one who is useful to me! And what the fuck is on my head!” He roared tearing the tendrils that seems to rest upon his head. He raged at the bonds of summoning flesh as he rammed against the closest surface breaking through a wooden barrier.

Jghorishk sat up and saw hallways illuminated. Looking forward were the other four demons walking out from behind a hole in a door and a mop.

“We seem to be in some sort of ward for many individuals. From what I can sense, most of them are younger ones. Eighteen to early twenties. There are a lot of them here but I can sense all of our chain holders are here. We kill them. We are free. Split up.” Jghorishk commanded.

Mosh and Go’lisk crawled through a vent feeling the presence of one of their callers. They finally found their target in one of the three buildings in the vicinity. A small room. Colorful and artistic. Two beds.

“Look at that fat bitch with the perm.” Mosh said with disgust.

He remarked about a bountiful woman.

“That is our caller…” Go’lisk hissed.

Mosh began to salivate from the thought of eating her flesh. He clanked a solid set of talons forward.

Go’lisk clomped a heavier and keener set of a paw on his shoulder.

“Careful brother. Their is another here.” Go’lisk calmly whispered.

Mosh gruffly sighed but kept his ground.

He knew he would stand no chance in fighting this demon. Nor have a chance at eating the caller.”

Phoebe had just refused an invitation. One that would be sure to get her laid. However Phoebe was a little more into those who spied. Who crept, and watched until they made their move.

Phoebe finally finished her shower coming out of the bathroom wearing spandex pants, and a tanktop.

“Angela?! Are you going to stop by the party tonight?”

Angelas round soft face turn around with a porcelain smile.

“No. I have some prior engagements tonight. But have fun Pheo. I am sure friends will visit you. Smaller stature the better right?” She replied with a devilish smirk and a wink.

“Okay? I’ll leave my window open.” She said in a laugh, half sarcastically,

“Just be you.” Angela called as she walked out of the room. Closing the door behind her.

“Heh, heh, look at that round ass Go’lisk! It looks like a plump calorie filled heart!” Mosh chimed, licking his salivating chops.

Go’lisk again reigned his hand on his shoulder.

Suddenly behind them elbows flew until they were against Mosh’s face.

“Morv! What!? Why!?”

“I followed you! I was on my own!” Morv barked quietly,

His eyes suddenly became animated. Staring at a single thing.

Mosh and Lo’lisk followed his gaze between the grate of the vent.

Pheobe waiting until Angelas footfalls faded off.
