She's the Devil in Disguise

^^Erana

Yeira's POV

Erana approached us and repeatedly thanked us for assisting the cause. Zena gave her a polite smile and said she'd willingly help again. I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall as Zena and Erana exchanged words. Erana then glanced my way and stopped before me. I raised a brow, resulting in her reaching out her hand. I cautiously shook her hands and observed her step back.

"The gates to Hell have now been completely opened. You may be on your way." Erana smiled.

"I'm sorry about Kiki." Zena spoke, making Erana sigh. "I wish there was more we could do, but... we'll still keep looking. I promise."

"Thank you." She looked sad.

"Guess we'll be leaving." I kicked myself off the wall. "Make sure your boss doesn't go insane again." Zena rolled her eyes at my words. "Alrighty, goodb-"

"Yeria! Zena!" Arms were soon flung around us. "Thanks for releasing us."

"No problem, Naomi." Zena chuckled and patted her back.

"The imprisonment was crazy here." Naomi ran a hand through her tangled hair. "We couldn't leave and were essentially slaves. Thanks for coming to save me."

"Umm-"

"That wasn't my intention of coming." I cut Zena off. "I came to get Hana." I gestured at the two in the back. "Totally forgot about you if I'm being honest."

"What she means is..." Zena harshly glared at me. "We remembered your kidnapping, which triggered even more heinous abductions-"

"She's right. I did remember, but I had no intention of saving you." I stepped to Naomi, so Zena held a hand out. "You lied and deceived me. Worked behind my back to plot my murder!" Naomi's eyes widened. "You can rot in hell for all I'm concerned."

"Okay, calm down." Zena addressed me.

"I'm surprised you're so calm. I wouldn't be surprised if she planned on killing you-"

"Yeira." Zena was exasperated.

"Perhaps, it's time for you to go home." Erana awkwardly spoke.

"What about bringing back my buddy, Radna?! You know... the guy you exploded into thin air!" I screeched.

"Ya, definitely time to go." Zena glared.

Zena nodded and allowed Erana to guide us to a portal. Erana waved us goodbye as we stepped through. I was surprised we landed back in the mansion at school. Zena looked around and called for Hailey, but I don't understand why she would think Hailey would be around.

My question was answered when Hailey sped through the door and wrapped Zena in a tight hug. Zena gave Hailey a small smile as the girl squeezed her tight. Hailey then glanced my way and sped to me. She gave me a pointed look before hugging me as well. I was stiff as she told me that she was worried about my safety. Hailey released me and approached Acacia and Hana.

I didn't get time to relax since Lexi tackled me to the ground. I groaned since I'm sure she broke my arm. Lexi rolled around with me and exclaimed how she was so worried. Lexi claimed she went to even the most hostile places to seek any advice on entering Hell. My features softened at her glassy eyes. Lexi then wailed that she feared Addison had killed me and what would happen to her bestie.

"Can someone get her off me?" I looked around.

"Nah, she was really sad, petite puce." Hailey chuckled.

Lexi giggled before getting off me. She then held a hand out to help me up. I glared and displayed my broken arm, making Lexi giggle. I then snapped it in place and watched it slowly heal. Lexi then squealed and hugged me again.
