Silver Lining

Chapter Twenty Five

We enter the castle through a round, green wooden door. Now, we're standing in a huge, empty room. That door slams on its own and disappears. Cleo closes her eyes and gasps. The rest of us circle around her.

"They're in a purple room with a canopy bed," Cleo says, rubbing her temples.

Luna grabs her shoulders. "You heard her. Let's go."

We all teleport upstairs to the hallway. Amber and I find a purple bedroom at the far end of it. Cleo is absolutely right. My mom and Alicia are in here, sitting on a purple king sized bed. They're tied up with white rope, duct tape covers their mouths.

I untie them both and pull the tape off their mouths. They get up and hug me. Alicia sniffles, before hugging Cleo and Amber. My mom kisses me on the cheek and grabs my shoulders.

"Beat those bastards for me."

"I will. Bye, mom," I say, smiling.

She stands by the closet with Alicia and disappears in a white cloud of smoke. Cleo groans, rubbing her temples again. The rest of us circle her once more.

"The demons are in the red room."

We all leave this room, and walk across the hall to the red room. Two white guys with dark hair stand in front of the red dresser, smirking smugly at us. I have no idea who they are, but I can feel the douchey vibes steaming off of them. The taller one takes a step closer to me.

"What's wrong, baby? You don't recognize me?"

"I don't know who the fuck you are," I retort, pushing him back.

"You knew who I was when you were cumming on my face last night, Onyx."

"Please. I wouldn't even let you sniff me."

The guy and his friend laugh. What the fuck is so funny? That smug bastard is lying through his teeth. And he wouldn't even get to fuck me in his dreams.

With the snap of a finger, he turns into Owen. My heart drops. Amber and Cleo gasp. This can't be real. I don't want this to be real.

"Do you recognize me now, sweetheart?" Owen asks, touching my cheek.

I smack his hand away. "Don't touch me."

"I loved touching that gorgeous body for the past two years."

Tears fill my eyes. Our entire relationship was a lie. Now the thought of our little session from last night makes me feel used. The guy next to him keeps laughing.

I frown at him. Whatever he's laughing at can't be that funny. Amber rolls her eyes. Cleo sighs in irritation.

"What the hell is so funny?"

"You angels are so naïve, just like your fairy friend. There's nothing more fun than turning best friends against eachother, and watching random women die," the other guy says.

Then, he turns into Sav with the snap of a finger. I take two steps closer to him and slap him across the face. I knew he couldn't be trusted! He's one twisted motherfucker, who turned everything upside down.

"This 'naïve angel' is going to give your twisted ass a piece of her mind," I say in a threatening tone.

Sav chuckles. "Then, give it to me, bitch."

Sav slaps me with the back of his hand, knocking me to the floor. Owen yanks the red rug out from under Cleo and Amber. They land on their backs. I get up, clenching my fists. A white light glows from them as a stinging pain spreads through my cheek.
