When Colby, Jake and Katrina arrived at Sam's house, they could tell by the stuff on his table, that they were not just playing a game. It was 9.00pm and the sun had already set. They all went into Sam's bedroom and sat on his bed, Sam sat at his desk facing the bed.

"I found a game we can play! And because this is one of our last nights together, before Jake moves to London, I wanted to make it extra special!" Sam said, sounding full of joy.

"SAM!" Katrina yelled "SERIOUSLY?!?! YOU CANCEL OUR DATE TO PLAY A DANGEROUS GAME?!?! ARE YOU CRAZY?!?!" Katrina had fire in her eyes at this point. She was furious.

"Hey!" Sam yelled, "Stop assuming things! What if I just want to play a fun game like Mario Kart?"

"Well," Colby replied, "I'm sorry Sam, but you don't exactly have a reputation for playing fun games like Mario Kart." Colby continued, "Sam, be honest, is this going to put our lives at risk?" Colby said leaning forward and staring directly into Sam's pale blue eyes.

"If we do it correctly we won't die, but if we upset him...." Sam trailed off.

"WHAT! SO WE COULD DIE IF WE DO THIS STUPID THING WRONG!?!?" Now, Katrina was not only angry, but worried too.

Colby knew that Sam loved these games so much, and being his best friend ever, he needed to do this. Sam had been through a lot this past year, and hasn't exactly been very happy lately. Now Colby had a chance to cheer him up...

Colby looked at the others and then back at Sam. "Then I guess we'll have to do it correctly."

Sam's eyes lit up with happiness for the first time in weeks.

"So how do we play?" Jake said.

"First we get a candle each. Then we need to sacrifice some blood. And the-"

"WE NEED TO STAB OURSELVES???!!!! NO WAY I'M DOING THAT!" Katrina blurted out, interrupting Sam again.

"KATRINA! LET SAM FINNISH!" Katrina went silent when Colby yelled at her.

"So anyway, after we do that, we write our full name on some paper and put it behind the wooden door. Then we place our candle on top and we light it. After that, we put our blood on the paper and then we close the door. And the-"

"And then some magical creature or something appears behind the door??? This will be a piece of cake!" Jake wasn't very smart, so he struggled to understand the danger part.

"Why is everyone interrupting Sam tonight?!?! Why is it so hard to just let him speak?" Colby looked at Sam once everyone was silent again. "Go on Sam."

"Thank you Colby." Sam continued "Then we knock 22 times on the door, with the last knock EXACTLY at midnight. That's when we open the door, blow out our candles, close the door again and then knock 3 more times. After that, we open the door, pick our candle up and light it again. That's when the game starts. It finishes at exactly 3.33am."

"So what do we do for the 2 hours? Watch t.v?" Jake asked, mildly confused.

"Actually, it's 3 and a half hours. And I forgot to tell you, we uh, we can't have any lights or electronic devices on during the game....."

"What." Katrina said quietly, sounding like she was about to burst, "I CANT USE MY PHONE FOR 3 HOURS!!!!!!!!"

"Actually, three and a half hours..." Sam corrected.

"Is that everything we should know? Just making sure we don't do anything wrong." Colby said.

"Yep. That's basically it." Sam looked down at his phone. "It's 11.40. If we want to do this, we have 20 minutes to turn the lights off and get the candles, paper and the blood ready. What do you think?"

"I'm in!" Said Jake

"I've got your back bro!" Said Colby. "Katrina?"

"Fine. But if we die-"

"We won't." Colby reassured Katrina and turned to Sam. "We're ready."
