In the darkness, i hear the sound of clapping echo around the room

"well done grammarly" says the girl, sounding amused. "i guess you figure it out pretty quickly"

"so it is you" i say slowly. what does this mean? wasnt jackie friends with satan and brok? so why would she let them think she was dead? why would she kidnap me? how SHE EVEN ALIVE???

these questions fly around my head like airplanes. i dont evem know what to say. Nothing makes sense. So for now I stay silent, waitin for the girl- for Jackie - to give me som kind of explanation.

"it's been fasinating to hear about you" says Jackie, a smile in her voice "Satan and brok fighting for your affections"

how does she-

"You know" she say, interputing my thoghts "they used to fight over me."

Theres something about the way she says that make my skin pickle with unease. Is she jealos? Sad? i can't figure her out. shes like a puzle thats too hard to solve. a very hard sudoku

"it was just us three" say jacki, sounding wistful "me brok and satan. All we wanted was to be big kids, to join the Razor snakes. but we did not know what we wer geting into." she laughs slightly "we were so dumb"

a sick feeling enters me as i imagine jackie being stuck in a building as it burst into flames. i cant imagine how terifying it was, how painful it was, espcialy for her to end up with such big scar. i would not wish that on anyone

but i also wonder to myself, what has that done to her? yes ive seen her scar, but i can't see in her brain can i. she could be unhinged now like a door. i need to watch my back

"we were all very close" continue Jackie with the story "and then everyhting fell apart when me and brok start dating"

I blink. as much as i have talked to brok, he has neevr mentioned that he dated Jackie. But i gues he has not talked about jackie. now it make sense that it was to painful for him.

He was in love with her.

"he try not to show it" say Jackie "but satan was jealos. big time! that guy is a terrible liar. anyway, things get strained like tea between those two boy"

It's hard for me to imagine Satan amd brok geting along, that they once bes friends. now they never have anything good to say about each other. althogh i guess to me it always seeme like Brok hate satan more than datan hate Brok but i dont know huh

"Things got ugly when satan confesed to me. then they got in a fight. and while they fought, i was burning in a bilding, like a forgoten piza in the oven"

suddenlky the light turns back on again, illuminating her again, just as those flames would have. what the hell up with that lighbulb i wonder . but now i can see jackie's face. she is stil sitting, her legs casual crossed at the ankels, like she didnt just reveal herself to be a girl whos ment to be dead. She givesme a symopathetic look.it is hard for me to tell if its genuine "I hate to break it to you like an egg grammarly, but you're just my replacement."

I jerk back. that cant be true, right? she's just trying to manipulate me, to turn me against brok and satan. clerly she has bone to pick with them over what happened, she mus tbe trying to ruin my relationship with them. she is lying making this up-

but as i l look at her, a sick feeling creeps into my body like a creepy monster. we both have brown hair and blue eyes. our lip are different and our nose, and she is paler than me. but we are simliar enoigh that i cant help but wonder if shes right.

ugh! i cant let her get to me. i narrow my eyes at her "you dont know shit jackie"

"Kai filled me in on you and Satans melodrama" jackie lets out a short laugh "grammarly, girl, get a grip. you've been here, what, two weeks? you think thats enough time for him to fal in love with you?"
