"Has she woken up?" A voice in dark asked.

"No, not yet!" Another screeched.

"When she does, bring her to my room."

"Will do."

I heard mumbles and rambles all around the room. I have no idea where am I, or what am I doing. I couldn't see, I couldn't even open my eyes for god's sake. Even when I opened my eyes, I couldn't adjust to the dark yet, this room was darker than with my eyelids closed.

Last I remember is that I was at a friend's house doing some literature project, and hell, it even took me some power to remember that. But I'm certain I'm not in Angelina now.

I tried opening my eyes when I heard all the talking dilute, and I guess I even heard a door being shut after that somewhere far in the dark room. Thank the heavens I succeeded in opening my eyes.

But even then all I could see is complete and utter darkness. Not knowing what to do, I pushed myself up a little, refraining from sitting on the ground, I laid back on the wall beside me. The cold ground underneath me seeped underneath my clothes, making me shiver.

And Still, the darkness surrounded me everywhere.

Not knowing how long I have been in here, I sat there doing absolutely nothing while hearing the dripping sound of water somewhere in the dim room. It was so irritating to say the least.

I heard a sound of footsteps approaching the room, not knowing if it is a false alarm or not, I closed my eyes and fell back again into my previous position.

"She is not awake yet!" a voice snorted.

"I dunno what Decklan put in that water, though." another voice replied.

The light from the door came in, I could feel it through my eyelids, But I decided against opening my eyes now. Not like I had a choice either, for all I know I could get slaughtered if I did.

I was not really as scared as I was when I heard the name 'Decklan' being uttered out of the man's throat. It means that I am in the Devils territory; but what did he mean by 'what Decklan put in that water'?

Last time I checked, I was in Alex's house not Decklan's! And I don't exactly remember taking any water from Decklan any time then. The mention of Decklan's name really did mess up my mind. Questions kept popping in the back of my mind.

'Where am I?'

'Who got me here?' Is it Alex?

'Why would Alex do so?' If it really is him, that is.

And a lot and a lot.

"Do you reckon we wake her up?" The cold voice snapped me out of my haze state of mind. Not really actually, it raised even more questions.

I heard a lot of profanities that I knew nothing about, Just some I have heard throughout my previous visit to Demonia; If I really am in Demonia. Who am I kidding, I know I'm in Demonia.

"Yeah, that fella Damon won't wait alot anyways. And when was the last time we harassed an Angel? Too long." what the....

"You're right. All because a klazomanic king had to forbid the slave-labor trade. I mean who does that?" What are they talking about?
