Demon Stones

Demon Stones- Chapter 36

Ceren's P.O.V:

Bella came out of the kitchen, looking tired.

"Did you get him to talk?", I asked.

Bella nodded. "Kirsty came up to Raven, said I did something to her, and so he came to investigate."

"And what did you say?"

"I told him that she attacked me. It's weird though", she added, frowning. "It didn't seem like he doubt me at all."

"Really?"

"Yeah. It's almost as if he expected me to say something like that."

Me and Bella looked at each other.

"Bella?", I said. "What exactly happened last night?"

"Tell me what happened to you first", Bella said. We both sat down on the sofa.

"Okay, first I turned up at the school for me and Brad's date as planned, then someone came up to me and hit me on my head. Just before I fell unconscious, I saw them take my Demon Stone off, and put another one in me. I woke up to see you looking at me, then woke up again in my bed with Lola poking my face."

Bella snorted at the last part.

"What about you?"

"I realized you'd been captured, because I'm a genius, so I went to Catherine's house, defeated the bad dudes, some of which turned out to be our classmates, got kissed by Raven, then got knocked out by him."

"YOU WHA-?", I shrieked.

"I know!"

"Did you like it?", I whispered.

"Pass", said Bella, holding up her hand.

Okay, not the time, apparently. "How did you defeat our classmates then?"

"I knocked some out and.... killed some." Bella bowed her head so that her face was covered by her hair.

I put my arm around her. "It's okay, it couldn't be helped", I said. We'd both killed people in the past, but only when there was no other way of saving them. "Who were infected?"

"Um..." Isabella's voice shook slightly. "Amirah, Leo, Catherine, obviously, Brad, Shakela, Della, Reece, Jonathan, and some people I don't... didn't know."

"And who did you kill?"

".... Some of the strangers, Della, and Jonathan."

"Oh", I said, not sure how I should react. "I hope it was quick."

"I made sure it was", Bella mumbled.

"Well... that's good."

"I'm sorry your date with Brad was ruined", Bella added.

"Don't be", I said. "I'll just ask him out again."

"Tell me how it is when it happens."

"Uh huh." I glanced sideways at Bella. She was staring at the TV, which was currently viewing an old re-run of Friends. She was getting that glazed look in her eyes that meant she was about to slip into a TV coma.

"So", I said, before she could slip off. She blinked and turned to me.

"So?"

"Raven", I supplied. Then waited.

A slightly guarded look came over her face. "What about him?"

"I seem to remember you telling me he kissed you." I really wished I had a moustache to twirl.
