Kenzie And Skylar Went To Maggie's House At 3:00. Maggie's House was Quite a walk From Skylar's House, So The Two Girls walked Down The Road, Past The School, Past The Lake And Stopped By The Coffee Shop. Then, They Strolled To The Hotels And Past The Ziplining zone Down To Maggie's Street. There Were Many Houses That Looked The Same, And A Few Stray Cats, One Of Which Kenzie Was Particularly Fond Of. They Found Maggie's House On The End Of The Street. Her House Was A medium Sized, Brown Suburban House, With Corrugate Roofing. They Knocked On The Front Door( Which Was Oddly Intimidating) To Which Mrs. Valpo Answered. "Hello Mrs. Valpo. We're Looking For Maggie." Skylar Told Her. "She's Making Biscuits Right Now, Can You Come At 3:30 Please?" Mrs. Valpo Said apologetically. Kenzie And Skylar Left The House, And Set Off For The Lake. " Hey, Can We Sit Down For A Minute Please?" Kenzie Asked, Midway Through Their Walk. "Sure."

 They Sat Down On A Bench In Front Of The Lake. " I'm sorry." Kenzie Said. "For What?" Skylar Asked, wondering What She Was Talking About. "For Yelling At You And Well-" She Sighed. "But, That wasn't you." Skylar Said. "But, I...... I Still Did it." Kenzie Said Gloomily. Skylar Placed Her Hand On Kenzie's Shoulder. "You Are My friend. I Won't Let You Apologize For Something That isn't Your Fault." Skylar Said Kindly. Kenzie Smiled And Tried To Hide The Fact That She Was Blushing. "Let's Go Back Down To The Lake." The Two Girls Walked Down To The Lake. When They arrived, There Were Only Three Kayaks left. "I'll Take The Blue one." Kenzie Sat Down In The Blue Kayak And Started Paddling To The Middle Of The Lake.  Skylar Struggled To Paddle As She Had Never Gone Kayaking Before. The  Middle Of The Lake Was Incredibly Deep, And Even Though It Was Only 3:25,  The Sun Was Already Starting To Go Down. "We Should Get Going." Kenzie Said, Paddling Back To The Shore. The Girls Walked To The Valpo's House. They were Welcomed In And led Up The Stairs To Maggie's Room. Maggie's Room Reflected Her Personality, Laid-back And Quiet. There Were Light Blue Curtains On The Windows. The Room Was Painted Dark blue With A Mural Of  Palm Trees, Which Matched The Rug On the Floor, Light Blue Palm Trees. The Walls Were Lined With Bookshelves And There Were A Few Books Stowed Away In The Bedside Table. The Bed Was A Grey Twin Bed With Few Pillows. It Looked Like It Hadn't Been Slept In in Days. Actually, Other Than The Desk, The Room Hadn't Been Lived in In Months. Maggie Sat In The Corner Of Her Room, on a bean bag. "Oh, You Finally came!" Her Voice Was Strained. "Come Sit Down." She Sat Down on the bed. "So..... Why Did you ask us to come here?" Skylar asked. "oh, um.... well......" Maggie Stood up and closed her door. " You Opened Something, something that can't be closed unless......" She Pulled Out a book with a worn leather binding and franticly skimmed through the pages. " potions.... herbs... no.... underworld.....armor...demons..." She Muttered. Skylar gave Kenzie a strange look, which Kenzie returned. " cures...curses..- Yes! Closing portals." She Sat Back Down On The Bed. " On October 16th, There Was A Storm. This Storm Opened Up A weak connection to the underworld. Then, On-" 

"I'm Sorry, What!?" Kenzie interrupted. " A Connection to The Underworld?"

"Yeah.... A Portal. On October 18th, Skylar, you found The Structure Known as the Pyramix. Then, You Showed It To Kenzie. It Had Hidden Itself On The Storm, The Demons Were Pushed Back, They're Stronger in Storms. When You Showed Anger, It Revealed Itself, In A Form Of Being Able To Be Opened. Kenzie, You Opened The Door." Maggie Finished. "So, Now You're The Key. Kenzie."

"What?"

Maggie Showed Her The Page. "For This, The Door Can Only Be Closed if The one who opened it Goes Inside." She Read Out. "How Should We Know You're not Making all of this up?" Kenzie Asked. Maggie Sighed. She Closed her Eyes, And A light Seemed To emit from her. White, feathery wings opened up. Skylar Couldn't Believe Her Eyes. Maggie Opened Her Closet. "You Have To Go To The Door And Go Inside Before It's Too Late. Then, The Demons Will Be Trapped Forever. And..... You Will too." Maggie Pulled Out Two things, A Candle And A Bottle Of Some Sort Of Fluid. Kenzie Stared At Her. "I'll.......... Die?" She Said, Almost To Herself."Well.... Yes. If You Ever Get Possessed again and can't come back, Drink A Tiny Bit Of This"- she handed her the bottle-" And Use This Candle If A Demon Gets Close." Kenzie Held The Objects in her hands. The Words Echoed In Skylar's Head.

"I'll Die"
