Don't Let Go

Deserted

I awoke in my room. Observing my body my t-shirt, and shorts were on. I questioned my self out loud. "How did I get here? Who put me here?" Then a name popped up in my phone Luke. He had put a spell on me or something. And that bastard dressed me!

I grabbed my phone and immediately called him. He was going to get a piece of my mind. The phone rung two times and then went to voicemail. "Mother Hover! Ughh!" I threw my phone on the bed.

I looked over and my teddy bear wasn't next to me. "Sandy where are you?" I didn't hear an answer. I searched everywhere for him, but I was in defeat. "Where is that bear?" I hadn't talked to him since yesterday when I left him in the car. Was he mad at me? My mother came in looking irritated, and annoyed. She put on the best smile she could. "Hello Rosey. We have to take a trip to Florida. Its a business trip for his company. Would you like to come?"

"Not really. Usually when I go on trips I'm the only one really taking the trip."

"I figured, so you won't mind being here alone?"

"Of course not. Arianna will probably come over. How long are both of you going to be gone?"

"5 days a week tops."

"You're going to miss my birthday?" I was saddened by the remark.

She came over sitting on my bed. "Oh honey....We'll call. I promise. It's for the sa--"

"Sake of the company." I finished. They always said that. She patted my leg and said "You understand. Now we're getting ready to take our leave. They need us as soon as possible."

I followed them to the door, and watched as they waved outside the taxi. Home alone that was ordinary for me. After they left I got dressed in a white t-shirt, and bleached shorts. Sliding on my low top orange converses I ran out to the car. My protection was gone, so I was going to protect myself.

I bought a little bible and slid it into my bag. School was going to start soon, so I picked up Arianna and we headed to the mall. Arianna was in the shoe section and I was in the dresses. When I picked up a red lace dress I heard two voices behind me. They said in harmony "That dress would look extravagant on you. A birthday outfit?" I jumped at not their voices, but their appearance. They both were identical a boy, and a girl. Having red eyes, pale skin, and fire red hair. They also had their differences the boy's hair was cut straight and the girl's hair was cut into a bob. They were both skinny, and the same height towering over me.

I snapped out of thought and said "Yeah how'd you know?" The man stepped up with a grin on his face I noticed 3 piercings on his lips "Just a guess. I'm Ombra and that is my sister Scura." The girl waved behind and came up to the side of her brother she too had many piercings. "Hello. Sorry if we look creepy. It's how we were born." I blinked in confusion as they stepped closer. They whispered loudly "Were demons!" I stepped back almost tripping when they both reached out grabbing me at the same time. They blinked rapidly and then let go when I came to my feet. They both said together "We mustn't get distracted... Everybody has just been leading you the wrong way. You don't know who you are do you? And that bear just left you all by yourself." My breathing was ragged at how nervous I was "What do you mean?" He winked saying "The man downstairs himself wants to speak with you. We would be happy to escort you since the bear is absent." I shook my head no. "I'm sorry, but I don't know anything about you or The Devil. Accept for the stories in The Bible. You are portrayed as evil beings." They both laughed "We figured you wouldn't come that easily." The girl took a card out and handed to me "Whenever you're ready just give us a call. We'll come in a heartbeat."

I looked down at the card and then back up at the twins to see not the weird looking twins with black outfits on. Their appearance completely changed making them look like gorgeous models out of a magazine. Their skin now had color to it, blonde hair, and dark blue eyes. I opened my mouth, and widened my eyes at their new look. They both said in harmony "We can't go around looking exotic. They would think we look suspicious. See you soon Rose." Walking away from me they disappeared in a blink of the eye.
