Shadow-Dancer: Return Of An Old Foe [ALTERNATE UNIVERSE VERSION]

Chapter 8: The Betrayal

Ob's POV

"How could you do this to us, Celine?!" Dark yells. His body is separating into blue and red outlines and a second head appears, screaming in rage, which is something that happens when he either wants to amp up the creepiness factor of his appearances (such as "A Date With Markiplier") or when he gets really mad, like what's happening right now.

"I guess you forgot. The real Celine is still a part of you," the First Entity explains.

"Alright, what the h*ll do ya want with my friends an' I?!" I ask Antimatter. My irises are glowing intensely, due to the rage that is boiling up inside me.

He just chuckles. "Well, I'm not going to try to separate you again. I now know that it's only temporary for demons who have had healthy relationships with their hosts."

"Well, what DO ya want with us?" Anti asks. His right iris is glowing just as intensely. On top of that, his body is glitching profusely.

"To start, I've already assigned you to your rooms. Jack, Anti, Henrik, Chase, Marvin, Jackie, Jameson, Becca, and Obsidian are in Room A16, which is where Alexis is SUPPOSED to be. Mark and Dark are in Room D64. Celine will escort you there," Anti?atter explains.

To save us the trouble of walking, the First Entity teleports Anti, Maria and I to our room, then takes Mark and Dark to theirs. We just sit in silence.

For about a minute.

"Hey, do ya hear that?" Anti asks.

"It sounds like someone's cryin'," I reply.

Ella's POV

I suppose you'd want to know how I got here. Well, to make a long story short-ish, it all started when my parents saw an advertisement for this place on TV. It said that it was a place to help troubled children. Being very observant (my idiot doctors diagnosed me as a sociopath), I knew something was wrong. I tried to talk my parents out of it, but they were in some sort of a trance. I very quickly learned that this "rehab center" is in fact a slightly remodeled Alcatraz. When my parents and I got there, we met the manager of the place, Antimatter. I knew he was evil the moment I laid eyes on him. But what really broke my heart is when both of my parents called me this morning and told me they didn't love me. And now I've been crying for about an hour.

"Hey," a soft voice says. "Are ya okay?" I turn towards the doorway of my bedroom and see a beautiful young girl. She looks about 17 years old and is wearing a Hamilton t-shirt. However, what really catches my attention is her eyes. The whites are as black as her pupils, but her irises are blue and glowing. Her hair is the same color as her irises. She also has large black feathered wings with blue tips on the feathers. I back up into the corner, terrified.

"No need ta be afraid of me. I won't bite," she says. However, my gaze turns to Maria, my girlfriend. I immediately leap to my feet and hug her, crying into her shoulder.

"There, there. Everythin's goin' ta be okay," she says as she pats my back softly. She then looks at me and gives me a warm smile.

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Of course I'm sure," the new girl reassures me, coming over to wipe my tears. "My name's Obsidian, but ya can call me Ob. What's yer name?"

"Ella."

"Pretty name fer a pretty girl." I blush at Ob's compliment. Maria glares at her. Yeah, she's a bit overprotective.

"So, how long have ya been here?" Ob asks.

"About four years."

"Do ya have any friends or family here?"

"Well, my twin sister was taken to this place. Her name's Brianne."
