There was an internet café at the edge of town—a flickering neon hole tucked between decaying shops and blind alleys. 

People called it *The Hive*. 

Not for the noise or the crowd. 

but because something dark buzzed beneath its surface.

Inside - a group of girls sat each night. 

Always the same ones. 

Not students. 

Not workers. 

Just there -

They laughed too loud. 

They stared too long. 

They always seemed to *know* too much.

To the outside world - 

they were nobodies. 

Mediocre. 

Average. 

Forgettable.

But in the shadows of the deep web.

they were queens of something far darker.

From behind their glowing screens. 

they wove digital nets of torment.

 

They stalked. 

They exposed. 

They humiliated. 

Their keyboards were like cauldrons.

summoning curses.

Pain with every click. 

They ran cybersex. 

rings. 

cloaked beneath fake names. 

and pretty. filters. 

They streamed lives being ruined. 

And they called it power.

What no one saw were the rituals.

The bowls of blood hidden behind the server room door. 

The ashes in the coffee. grounds. 

The symbols carved beneath desk drawers. 

The whispers they spoke into webcams before logging in. 

These girls didn't just hurt people online—they *fed* on it. 

Hate. their offering. 

Fear. their fuel.

But evil. it always echoes.

One night. 

The lights blinked—and never came back

The café went silent

Machines froze

Screens melted into static

The air grew cold 

breathing was hard

Then the screaming began—not loud

but deep - 

like it was happening behind the eyes

They came in through the routers

The Navia - 

the spirits of the dead

forgotten and forsaken

had followed the signals back

They had tasted the agony poured into the wires

the pain streamed out across the world

And they had been called

Not by spell

By justice

The girls tried to run - but the doors had vanished

The screens showed their own faces—twisted

decayed 

mouths gaping in soundless terror

One by one

they were dragged through the monitors

their bodies folding into shapes no human should bend

Eyes burned out

Tongues blackened 

The static turned red

In the end 

there was nothing left but melted keyboards

shattered glass

and the faint smell of incense and rot

They say the café is abandoned now

but sometimes

when you walk past after midnight

you hear soft typing

and laughter—mean 

hollow laughter—followed by a hiss

like wind moving through teeth

And when you dare to look through the window

you might see them still there

Glowing eyes 

Grinning mouths 

Forever trapped behind the veil

streaming their own suffering

For the Navia always recalls

And they never forgive.
