3 Suddenly the package began to make quick twisting spasms and harsh barking yelps. I dropped it. This wasn't good. Steven had told me that if this happened, it wasn't good. I took a step back and pulled a crumpled note from my pocket. It was a list of instructions. I scanned it quickly, wincing at Steven's childlike writing.

Don't give the package any sudden jolts
Don't talk directly to the package.
Don't keep the package anywhere near any religious text.

What use was this? Suddenly there was a loud tearing noise. The brown sacking that served as a cover was starting to come loose. There was nothing in the list about the package coming to life. I scanned to the bottom of the page.

FOR EMERGENCY INSTRUCTIONS PTO.

I turned the sheet over.

If exposed to a loud noise, the package MUST be placed somewhere quiet for at least an hour.
If severely jolted, the package MUST be restrained and refrigerated for 24 hours MINIMUM
If the package makes any sounds, open the grimoire and read the paragraph on page 7 marked 'CALMING'
If the package starts to move, open the grimoire and read from page 93 beginning at the paragraph marked 'BANISHING'. Do NOT stop reading until the package is still.
Do NOT read anything after page 301

I snatched up the book or Grimoire or whatever it was. The orange symbols on the front were glowing so brightly they were almost white. I turned to page 93 and began to read.
