Flee if you can

I phoned Alice the next day. We arranged to meet the next day and decided to go to the local library to do some research. We had to get answers to our questions somewhere and it was our only clue, we are the total aces in Latin, which is why we also needed a dictionary.
I picked her up and we went together towards the city. At a large intersection we stop because of a red light. Both sides were filled with a crowd.

ALICE: "Do you have the note with the letters with you?"

JESSICA: "Of course. I took a pad with me so that we could consider every possibility of translation."

ALICE: "We really have to find out what that means and tell the others."

JESSICA: "Should we really tell you? They just broke off the incantation, they are cowards.", She thought.

VOICE: "I'm here."

JESSICA: "Did you say something?" She asked Alice.

ALICE: "Me? No how do you get that?"

JESSICA: "Oh, it's not that important."

We both looked across the street and something caught my attention. It was a young man. He was very pale and wore a long black hooded habit, his black hair fell one by one into his face, which was still lifted by his ice-blue eyes. Usually people look at you when you have something strange on, but for him it was as if he didn't exist for the others.
The light turned green. Alice and I went off at the same time and only heard the screeching tires of a car.
We were really lucky, the car stopped right in front of us, of course we went back to the sidewalk. I looked back to where the man had stood, but he was gone as if he were a ghost.
This time the light really turned green and we crossed the street like everyone else.

ALICE: "Just a question. You saw that too, didn't you?"

JESSICA: "If you mean the guy with the robe, then yes."

ALICE: "Thank God, I thought I was crazy. It was really weird."

At that time I already knew the answer, I knew who this man was, only I hadn't dared to pronounce his name. He wasn't really a ghost, nor was he cheap as people would think. Ordinarily, you would only see this person once in your life and then never again.
When we finally got to the library, the first thing we did was look for Latin books that could help us. The first 3 hours were unsuccessful.

ALICE: "How much longer do we have to search?"

JESSICA: "Until we have found something suitable and if it should take the whole day."

ALICE: "But there are only letters in the books."

JESSICA: "It's not a picture book either."ALICE: "I know that. -. - But my eyes are slowly burning from all the reading."

JESSICA: "Then take a break. I can read for hours if I want."

ALICE: "You're not normal either."

JESSICA: "Yes. I know."

I flipped through a few more books without finding anything. When I was about to put one book back on the shelf, another fell on the floor. Of course I was curious and picked up the book. It was a book on Latin funerary sayings, I flipped through it and found a page with a saying that matched the letters.

MEMENTOMORI - MEMENTO MORI - REMEMBER THAT YOU WILL DIE.

JESSICA: "Alice! Come here quickly, I found something."

She got up and came to me. I showed her the place with the saying and the translation. Alice was just as amazed as I was. We looked down at the book.

ALICE: "Do you think it was really Carina's grandma?"

JESSICA: "No. It looks like we have conjured something completely different and that is definitely not a simple poltergeist."

ALICE: "You know something like that, don't you? What was that now?"

JESSICA: "I can't tell you that yet. I'm not quite sure myself yet."

After this realization we walked through the city for a while to discuss what we should do now. We decided to meet everyone first to discuss the whole thing, of course this should first take place in my basement where we also performed the incantation, but Alice said that the two would definitely not return to the basement and would prefer the meeting with her Should take place. I agreed.
She then went home and I crumbled into a bookstore, where I had bought another book. A black-bound book about evocations. I started reading as soon as I got home, of course.
The next day I went to Alice as agreed, but I wasn't the first to show up, Carina had been with her for hours. We waited another hour for Susi, but she did not come to the meeting.

CARINA: "What about the Susi now? She should have been here for over an hour now," she said angrily.

ALICE: "What do I know. You could never really rely on her."

CARINA: "Why don't you give her a call," she snapped.

ALICE: "It's good."

Alice took her cell phone and dialed Susi's number. It rang for a while before she finally answered.

SUSI: "Hello?"

ALICE: "Hi. It's me. I just wanted to ask when you are coming, we've been waiting for you for a while."

SUSI: "Sorry. That doesn't work. My mother said that I should rather stay at home. Somehow she has a bad feeling."

ALICE: "You can't really mean that now. Just because your mother has a bad feeling doesn't mean you can't go out with your friends, does it?"SUSI: "I'm sorry. But tomorrow I would definitely have time, because my mother is out with my little sister."

ALICE: "She says she won't have time until tomorrow. What about you guys?"

CARINA: "Tell her to move her non-existent ass over here," she said pissed off.

JESSICA: "I totally agree with you. Maybe we should meet in a cafe if she feels better about it."

ALICE: "They say you should come today and we'll meet at Tiffanys."

SUSI: "Well, I'll be there. I'll be there in half an hour."

ALICE: "Good. But come on, there will be another disaster."

We waited for Susi in front of the fast food restaurant and she kept her word, she came. She seemed to be nervous, together we entered the Tiffanys and after we had ordered something, we looked for a place in the corner where we could not be overheard. The restorant was completely empty except for us, the employee and a couple on the other side, which of course was an advantage for us.

SUSI: "Good and why have we gathered here now?" She asked Carina.

CARINA: "I don't know, you haven't told me anything either.", She said with a shrug.

ALICE: "Jessica and I went to the library yesterday to do some research."

CARINA: "And? What did you find out?"

JESSICA: "Before we tell you, I have one more question. Has anything happened to you in the meantime?"

EVERYONE: "Huh?"

CARINA: "Now that you say it. My mother fell down the stairs on Sunday, the strange thing is that she neither slipped nor twisted. She just fell."

ALICE: "In my closet there is a single coat hanger that started to rattle in the middle of the night, it just moved."

SUSI: "I saw a shadow on me in the mirror. What about you."

JESSICA: "For me it was from Saturday to Sunday night.", She began.

~ FLASHBACK ~

I was sleeping in my cozy bed when a slight glimmer woke me up (you notice, I'm a very light sleeper). Of course, I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful blue light flash in the dark. At first I thought it was coming from outside and rubbed my eyes, only to look again at this Mysterious Flaming Light.

JESSICA: "Wisp", I said, barely audible.

It was floating right in front of me, was it a ghost? A soul? I didn't really know. I tried to touch the flame, but it wasn't hot, it was comfortably warm. With that satisfaction, I closed my eyes and fell back to sleep.

~ FLASHBACK END ~

I told them what I had seen. There was a will-o'-the-wisp in my room.

SUSI: "We should have left the incantation. Now we have the salad."

CARINA: "Who started it?"

ALICE: "Stop arguing! As I just said, Jessica and I were out together yesterday and something very strange happened to us."CARINA: "What?"

JESSICA: "Do you want to tell?"

ALICE: "Yes. You should know."

She told them what happened to us at the traffic lights yesterday, especially the guy in the robe had scared them and that he suddenly disappeared afterwards. Susi and Carina did not meet him, but were afraid it could happen to them too. We all assumed the same thing, the man in the robe was responsible for the individual phenomena.

CARINA: "It can only be like that. I mean it's probably an evil spirit that we conjured up."

SUSI: "Tell me, have you already found out something about the letters?"

I pulled out a sheet of paper and unfolded it and placed it on the table. It was the piece of paper where the words were written down from the back of the glasses. Both of them were shocked by the translation. Think that you are going to die.

CARINA: "Is that addressed to all of us?" She asked anxiously.

ALICE: "What do we do now? It's really scary that things like this are happening to us, right?"

CARINA: "Oh, we shouldn't be too busy with it, it was all just coincidence and imagination."

JESSICA: "You shouldn't be too careless about it," she said with a serious expression.

CARINA: "Why? It was just a game."

SUSI: "I still find it kind of scary."

ALICE: "I don't think it was a coincidence."

CARINA: "That's total nonsense. I'm going home."

Carina got up and went out of the restaurant.

ALICE: "Carina wait!" She called.

SUSI: "I'll go home then, my mom will be worried."

I stayed seated and smiled.

JESSICA: "You will still see what you get out of it. Mors Certa, hora incerta. Death is certain, only the hour is uncertain."

A few days went by without anyone making contact with me. I was just waiting for something to happen because I knew something was going to happen.
The first week of the summer vacation was almost over. I waited by the window as if waiting for someone, then from a distance I saw my friends. They looked terrible. Apparently you lost your eyes for a couple of days. Before they rang my doorbell, I opened the door with the buzzer. They came in.
