Only If you swear...

Chapter Twenty

The dinner was done, we were all ready. The food was lined up against the giant table reaching down the hall, loads of people were there. I brought the scroll with me, to allow myself to check if everything had been completed, I decided I'd check in front of everyone, and then leave to speak to Becca. Whatever was going to happen, nothing could ruin tonight. I showed up in dark blue and black dress, it was awfully beautiful, and Cass was next to me in a purple and pink dress, of course, Ficreis showed up fashionably early, which was unexpected not only by myself it seemed but by everyone here. But what WAS expected, was for her to show up in jeans, and a tank top, it was beautiful still, but not fancy, but it was oddly, elegant or stylish, still.

I sat next to Cass and Mason at the table, Abigor and him looked happy together, not at all like they were when first had seen them, they both were smiling ear to ear and looked proud of their relationship. I checked the scroll to make sure they weren't eternally loathing each other from the inside, and there was a tick next to their chore, there were ticks next to all of the chores, and the scroll glowed red and green, a tall looking boy with black hair walked towards us, "Laura, come with me, I am to introduce you once again to your little friend," He spoke nicely, but his words didn't reflect that. I walked along with him, and we walked inside the little room he led us into, Cass had left me at the hall, probably because the treats there were tempting and delicious, he clicked his fingers and a door appeared inside the room we were already in, "Here!" He shouted, and Becca walked through the door. 

I was expecting her to look broken and tired, but she looked quite the opposite, she was beaming and angelic. Her demeanour was different, Becca used to wear all black and purples, now she wore white and greys. "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HER?" I screamed at the boy, "Don't kill the messenger," He winced, "All I know is this room reflects the true colours of a person," That explains it. But I wasn't going to apologise, "Oh." I simply said. "Yes, oh indeed," He retorted, "You guys are acting like I'm not even here." Becca said, "I found something ou-" I looked at her neck, a stone was lodged into it, "Becca, what's that?" She automatically glanced at her shoulder, "Oh, I've had it as long as I can remember, I'm surprised you haven't seen it sooner," She paused, "Anyway! I found- "  "No Becca," I interrupted, "See, look! This is the stone of immortality and is also the stone you possess when your parents are demons," She winced, "Oh but they are," I knew something wa- "WAIT WHAT?" I gasped, "That's what I was trying to say, My parents are Luasy and Laibuins, they are the Lords and Ladies of this place, apparently, I was swapped at birth, because my mother was on Earth when she went into labour, they couldn't get her back, and the hospital just said they couldn't find her baby, but they had taken me and given me to another family for money!" She yelled, her theory did seem far fetched but at this point, nothing seemed to be far-fetched anymore. "I got permission to stay in Hell," She spoke, "REALLY?" I asked, hoping this wasn't a prank, "Really," She said, and we walked back into the hall hand in hand. And I introduced her to everyone I knew.
