Scream

Chapter 8

Everything.

Everything stopped.

Everything was silent.

Everything was electric.

My memory seemed to slam into me. All those missing larts. Everything I had ever felt about Lauren. Everything I still felt about Lauren. What I knew Camila was. That the witch was the reason Laurens wings had been torn off. That she and Dinah were now a team. The Archangel & a Fallen Angel.

I kissed her back with all the passion I could muster. Lauren smiled in the kiss. Pulling back to stare into my eyes. Her emeralds shone with a newfound sparkle. She no longer looked angry or bitter. But happy.

"You remember..."

"Do you know what the most annoying thing is?" I ask.

She gives a confused look. "No..."

"When you are craving food but arent sure what food."

Lauren gives me a smile and we drown ourselves in another kiss. I cant breath but I dont care. She is my breath. She is my everything. Shes all I ever wanted. Our souls are linked. She is mine for eternity.

"Aww... Mila, the angel got her girly back."

We break off to see Ally, Dinah, and Camila.

Shit.

"What the fuck do you want?" I groaned.

Ally looked at me. "I want you dead. Camila wants Lauren. Dinah wants you. Unforunetly we have plans and need you. Well we need you and Lauren."

"And?"

"And I would appreciate it if you didnt go ruining them."

Lauren laughs. "Are you new to this whole... evil thing?"

Ally takes out something. A rod. Well a staff really. Long thick iron. "Lauren dont play dumb. You know what we want."

She shakes her head. "In all honesty I dont. I just want to be with Normani-"

"And you know she isnt yours."

"Lauren?" I ask.

Shes looking at her feet.

"So you admit it! You know what we are doing!" Ally says in triumph.

"No!" She shoots back.

I look into Laurens eyes. No longer sparkling but burning. "I dont understand..."

Dinah moves toward me. "Why wouldnt you believe us? Angel?" The word is filled with something I cant decipher. Anger? Jealousy?

"Because you guys are the bad guys-"

"Is there really such thing as a bad guy?" Dinah asks interrupting me. "The bad guy depends on which point of view you look at it from. To us its Lauren. And somewhat your fault."

"What do you mean!" I shout in frustration. Ally Camila and even Dinah jump a bit and my sudden outburst. "Would you shut up with your riddles!?"

Dinah turns her back to me and sticks her palms out. A shadow floats through the ceiling. Coming down to the floor. Dinah siezes it in her hands. Folding it, shaping it. Then it leans against the walls. A perfect door shape.

"Find out for yourself." Dinah says gesturing to the shadow.

I look at Lauren. "Please- Normani dont-"

"What are you hiding from me Lauren?"

"Im only protecting you." She insists.

My eyes narrow. "Guess I'll have to see for myself then wont I?"

I move toward the shadow. Reaching into it I find hard metal. A latch. Flipping it open, I shove open the seemingly invisible metal door. When my hand dips in again, I feel space. Lauren is watching me.

"Normani-"

But its too late. I have to know. So I plunge into the darkness.
