Sabrina and I had been best friends for years. While she attended Baxter High with her mortal friends, I attended the Academy of Unseen Arts. Ever since Sabrina had signed her name in the Book of the Beast, I started to notice changes in her personality.

She was more power-hungry and confident in her abilities than she had ever been in her life. And making the decision to go to Hell and take her mortal friends and me to rescue her boyfriend Nick, was once again a risky decision relying heavily on Sabrina's abilities to protect us all.

When Sabrina declared that she was going to go to Hell to save Nick, we all agreed to go with her right of way. None of us genuinely thought about the consequences this could have for any of us, but we trusted Sabrina, so of course, we agreed.

When it came to finding a way into Hell, I imagined that it would be the hardest part of our journey. How wrong I was in thinking that was something I did not realize until we stepped through a portal that took us to Hell.

When I opened my eyes, the first thing I noticed was the ashen look of the sky and the feeling of wet sand that was touching the exposed skin of my body. "Sabrina, where are you!" I shouted, not being able to yet locate her or the other members of our group that I came with. "Roz! Harvey! Theo! Where are you guys!" I was starting to get scared; I could not find anyone!

I took a deep breath and sat back down in the sand to try and figure out a plan. I knew the special water I bathed in before coming, and the dead man's shoes would only do so much to protect me before the enchantments wore off, and I was in more danger again.

It was only once I was able to calm my breathing and slow my heart rate that I realized there was an odd-looking structure further down the beach. Standing up, I dusted off my jeans and black leather jacket the best I could, before starting down the beach to investigate what I had seen.

After a couple of minutes of walking, I found the structure I had seen. It was a very large sandcastle. That is definitely not something I thought I would see in Hell. And something that was even more shocking was the young man building the sandcastle.

He was extremely attractive, with slightly long unruly blond hair, and he was wearing a white shirt that looked to be from a Victorian era. Did I mention the best part, the shirt was undone, giving me a perfect look at his muscular chest and abs.

The man looked up from his project as I approached him cautiously. "hello, my name is Y/N, where am I?" I asked. The boy looked confused as to why I was talking to him, "I'm Caliban, you're in Hell, more so the Shores of Sorrow if you want to be specific."

Damn, he was hot, too bad he's probably some creepy demon. "have you seen my friends? We all came together, but I somehow got separated from them. We are here to see Lilith." "your friends were here," he replied, "they followed the blood to Pandemonium, all blood flows to the city." "thank you for your help Caliban," you said back to him.

"Your welcome Y/N follow the path quickly, your enchantments will not last forever, and a piece of advice, don't stray from the path. It would be a shame if something happened to the pretty little face of yours," he replied with a smirk on his face.

"No need to worry about my safety Caliban, I can look after myself," I replied back with a confident smile on my face, and quickly turned on my heel and started down the path to hopefully catch up with my friends before I got myself killed.

The pathway was creepy, and I felt scared constantly. I almost wished Caliban had offered to escort me to Pandemonium. For some reason, I felt more at ease when I was with Caliban. God, I must have hit my head or something coming through the portal if I was having thoughts like this about Caliban.

He was in Hell for a reason, and I cannot get attached to someone who I will unfortunately never see again.

It took me a while, but I did eventually make my way to Pandemonium, encountering no trouble at all, which was quite surprising considering I am literally in Hell. Oh well, praise... I don't even know who I should be praising anymore! Like Hell, will I praise the Dark Lord ever again! Not after what he did to Sabrina and all of my friends.

When I got to the castle, no one tried to stop me from entering it as if they knew that I was coming. Maybe Sabrina and the rest of the gang are already here! I really hope this is the case; otherwise, I'm definitely walking into a trap.

Entering the castle, some weird creature wearing a green bellhop uniform directed me to follow him. He led me into what I can only assume is the throne room, based on the fact that Lilith is sitting on what appears to be the satanic version of a throne. "Ah Y/N, we've been expecting you for quite some time. I do hope that you did not get lost on your journey here." Lilith said with a large smirk on her face.

Just then Sabrina, Harvey, Theo, and Roz all appeared in the room with me, Roz especially looked extremely shaken up. Sabrina was the first to spot me. "Thank Hell your all right Y/N! We were all so worried about you! I thought you were dead!" Sabrina said to me while giving me a bone-crushing hug. Laughing and hugging her back, "I got separated from you when we came through the portal, I meet a guy named Caliban who pointed me in the direction of Pandemonium."

Lilith then started to slowly walk down the stairs, "Sabrina, how lovely you've come to visit. You even brought your little chums." Lilith said with what I could only assume was a tone of underlying annoyance. "you know why I'm here," Sabrina responded. "Oh, you mean young Nickolas Scratch. Mm-hmm. Yeah, he's ... right over here." Lilith said, pointing towards Nick, who had once ankle chained to the floor and looked to be in pain, on both the inside and outside of himself. "Nick!" Sabrina said, starting to run over to her boyfriend before Lilith stopped her.

Eventually, Sabrina was able to get Nick back after agreeing to support Lilith's claim for the throne, and we all portal back to Dorians with his flower, finally free from Hell. But I couldn't help but wonder if I would ever get to see that mysterious man I meet on the beach.

Caliban. Hell, I cannot keep him off my mind. I don't know what it was about him, but I felt a connection, even if we had only interacted briefly. One thing that for sure, though, I am definitely going back to Hell with Sabrina for when she supports Lilith's claim to the throne. I don't know why yet, but I have a feeling that I will run into Caliban. And wouldn't that be a lovely coincidence?
