Natasha POV
It's been about a week that the girls have been stuck in the other reality and Newt and Thomas weren't taking it well. Every scream, tear, thrash they were by their girls sides trying to wake them up but had no success. It got to the point they were actually screaming at them to wake up and that it was ok but they didn't see what was happening in the other reality. The girls on the other hand were noticeably fitting in with the reality. Every now and again they'd be nice to the boys and be enjoying themselves until they snapped out of it. I read over the book about the devils angel, trying to figure out what it would do to them both, finding that it will do nothing to Lilly but Aurora would most likely go crazy afterwards and try to kill anyone in sight. Taking that in, I asked Stark to build some sort of holding cell and with WCKDs help, which the boys hated, we built one.

"What are they doing now?" Tony asked as he walked in.

"Well, Aurora's screaming again so you know it can't be something good," I chuckled. "Brandon took her into his room."

"And?" Tony asked gripping his coffee.

"And nothing, she's screaming at him to get away from her."

"What about Lilly?"

"She's ok. She's fitting in with the reality so nothing should drive her crazy when it ends."

"What's Aurora doing now?"

"This."

A screen popped up showing Aurora in her bra and pants frantically scrambling away from Brandon who was only in his pants. She did everything she could to get away, throwing chaos magic at him, kicking him, punching him even trying to rip out his heart. But no success. Brandon gripped her, pinning her against the wall and yelled at her as tears poured down the girls face.

"Poor girl," I muttered.

Aurora POV
It's been about a week here and it's been awful. Lilly and I keep getting these phases where we're super nice to Brandon and Jacob but then we 'wake up' and realise how bad it is. At the moment I was screaming at Brandon to get away from me, while trying to cover myself seeing as my shirt was behind him. I did everything I could. I threw chaos magic at him, kicked him, punched him even tried to rip out his heart. But I didn't have any luck and ended up pinned against the wall with Brandon screaming at me.

"Calm down you worthless bitch!" Brandon screamed.

Then in a flash my body relaxed and allowed him to carry on. I didn't want him too though. Inside I was screaming at myself to move, do anything to get him away. Get to Newt even though both Brandon and Jacob said he hated me, he's all I wanted.

"Good girl," Brandon mumbled, moving his hands down to my bare waist as he pressed his lips back against mine.

Then I felt my body come back to me. I kicked him and he flew across the room, slamming into the wall and creating a dent. Tears flew from eyes as I ran over to the window and jumped out of it, landing on the pavement below. Then I ran barefoot as far as I could, taking rights and lefts. I didn't know where I was going but I trusted my feet to get me there quick. As I ran I kept looking back, hoping Brandon hadn't hopped in his car to chase after me and thank goodness he hadn't.

Right, left, right again, left again, left. I thought, turning each corner until I came to the woods. Huffing and puffing I entered, thinking this would help me get away from my problems.

Running through the woods, I recognised the path and realised that I had just come back to the building, where this whole mess started. I walked one of the outside walls and sunk to the ground in tears. Lilly was changing, adapting to whatever reality we were put in, the person I love, even though I hadn't seen him yet, hated me and the person I hated and found a creep called me his girlfriend. I wanted to wake up. I wanted to get out of this nightmare. I wanted Newt to just pop round the corner and hug me or even yell at me, anything from him would make me happy. Or Tommy who knew how to make me laugh for no reason and always cared for me, seeing as we were brother and sister figures. All of a sudden I heard footsteps and see Newt and Thomas jogging past.

Speak of the devils. I smiled, keeping my seat on the ground.

Thomas looked at where I was and m said something to Newt, who looked over at me and smirked. They both started their advance over and I, completely forgetting they hated me, got up and ran over to them, pulling them both into the biggest hug I could give while sobbing. They didn't return the hug and as I remembered what they thought of me I wasn't surprised, but still refused to let go.

"Ok, crybaby," Newt said shoving me away from him and onto the floor. "What the bloody hell is up with you?"

I sniffed and stood up, wrapping my arms around my torso seeing as it was dark and freezing cold.

"I-um-I-" I couldn't seem to say anything, it's like my mind had gone completely blank.

Aurora wake up. A voice echoed through my head and I looked around.

Newt raises an eyebrow.

"I'm running away," I concluded, ignoring the voice that was pounding in my head.

"From what?" Thomas asked.

"B-Brandon," I responded with a shiver.

The boys glanced at each other then me.

"Well good luck," Newt shrugged, pulling Thomas away with him.

I shrunk back to the wall and sat back down, only to see Thomas hitting Newt across the back of the head. I got confused and they started arguing quietly. There was a lot of gestures to me and the sky and the woods which put me into more confusion. So, sick of their blabbering I stood up and walked off further into the woods and the cold. There was this lake that looked like it had been frozen over due to how cold it was and as I wrapped my arms tighter around my chest I found a tree to sit down under, with the perfect view of the river.

"AURORA?" I heard Thomas call from back where I was sat before.

I felt my eyes start to droop when I felt arms wrap around me. I looked up, trying to identify the face, but the voice scared me more.

"Don't run away from me princess, or there will be consequences." And with that, Brandon crashed his lips to mine and lifted me up.

I felt the cracks beneath his feet and realised we were on the lake and I tried pulling away but yet again I'd lost control of my body. That was until he broke away and swung me towards the middle of the lake. I flew through the air and landed hard on the ice, which cracked beneath me and I looked up to see a horrified Newt and Thomas and a smirking Brandon before the ice fully breaks and I go under.
