~Brooklyn's Pov~

I walked into the next room with Devon, my boyfriend.
"So, what is it?" He asked me. I stared at him in disbelief, as he just kept drinking his drink.
"In case you haven't noticed, dumbass, that's the reincarnation of Sanctus!" I yelled in a hushed whisper, if that if sense, making his eyes widen. "She'll be able to let us go to the Human Realm and we won't have to be stuck in this hell hole anymore!" I cheered quietly, grinning.
"But then there's the question if she even knows how to do that," Devon frowned, making me roll my eyes. "I mean, c'mon. She's, like, what? Seventeen? Sixteen? I doubt she's run into any Demons or Blood Demons in her life,"
"Don't be such a party pooper. She should know by now that we're Demons, or, at least, from this place. I mean, look!" I pointed to the red tips on his hair and the black markings on our hands.

Devon just rolled his eyes.
"Everyone knows we betrayed our kind. Doesn't mean that we're gonna betray them. Sanctus and her group might be sceptically of us, but so was our group," Devon told me. I sighed and nodded.
"I know. It's just... I wanna get out of this place so bad!" I said, hugging him and laying my head in his chest. I could feel his arms snake around me as he kissed my head.
"I know, so do I," He said. "Let's go back,"

Nodding, we left the room and into the original one.

When we entered the room, everyone was sat around the fire and, from the looks of it, they were plating games, Sanctus-(y/n), in PJ's lap. I smiled at the cute view and Devin and I sat down next to them.
"So what are we playing?" I asked, grinning.
"Truth or Dare," Fugax said nervously.
"Really?!" My eyes lit up, making everyone laugh and me blush.
"Yeah, it was my turn to ask, so..." Layla pointed her finger and trailed everyone with it, finally stopping at Jake. He froze and stared at Layla nervously. "Jake!"
"Y-yeah?" He asked, sweating in anxiousness.
"I dare you to..." She began, looking around the room. Layla then sighed on defeat. "Shoot. Couldn't find anything. Oh, well. I dare you to take your pants off!" Lyla announced, embarrassing the poor boy. His face was beat red.

Before anything could happen, we heared a bang from down the corridor, but barely as it was a long way away from the entrance. Now in her fighting stance, (y/n) said, "Everyone hide. Now. From what I can sense, there are five Demons,"
"I'm staying too," I announced, making everyone stare at me. "What?" I asked innocently.
"No," (y/n) declared, surprising me.
"Why not?"
"Because it's dangerous!" She hissed.
"Listen, if there's anyone that knows the Demons here, it's me and Devon!" I hissed back. (Y/n) sighed and gave up as the Demons were now getting closer.

(Y/n) went on the left side of the entrance and I went on the right.

~(y/n)'s Pov~

Everyone else hid. I looked Brooklyn in the eyes and we both nodded at each other, hearing the Demons turning the doorknob on the other side of the door.

I clenched the handle of my twin swords, getting into my stance.

As the door opened slowly and quietly, Brooklyn and I waited for the Demons to enter first as we knew it would've been a trap to disorientate us. They stepped inside, firey shadows with piercing red eyes that were darting around the room in search of life.

Me and Brooklyn looked at each other, nodding and got ready to attack. She covered her hands in a blood red fire with black wisps.

I pushed myself off with incredible speed and (somehow) managed to stab the shadow-like body of the first Demon.

Brooklyn sent fire at the second and third Demon, killing them.
"Well, that was easy.." PJ commented. This made me, Brooklyn and Devon look at each other.
"Too easy," We said simultaneously.
"Can Demons send messages via minds?" I asked the two. They thought for second, then nodded. "We have to go! We need to go right now! We only have a certain amount of time before we're found!" I shouted, starting to pack the stuff I saw on the ground into separate backpacks.
"Why?" Liam asked me.
"They can send messages through minds. Also, those three were extremely easy to kill, too easy," Devon said for me, helping with packing everyone up.

After hearing this, everyone began finishing packing up. After that, we checked if the corridor wasn't being guarded, using my magic to sense any souls. Being careful, we treaded through the long corridor, up to the entrance.

There, I could sense twenty demons' souls in a semi-circle in front of the door.
"Shit!" I whispered, putting my arm out and stopping everyone from proceeding.
"Guards?"
"Yep,"
"How many?"
"Twenty of 'em," I growled in frustration. PJ then interlocked his hands with mine, calming me down.
"We'll be okay. Calm down," He shushed me, and it worked. I squeezed his hand, listening to everyone plan something to help us get out.
"I can create a portal," I suggested. Brooklyn and Devon looked at each other unsurely.
"Demons can manipulate the area around them, making people and magic users unable to create portals or use any kind of teleportation magic. If they manage, then they will be sent straight to the dungeons and to be killed," Brooklyn visibly shivered at her boyfriends' morbid words.
"There has to be something," I said, a little frustrated. PJ tightened his hand and we smiled at each other.

Brooklyn paced around, whilst Devon just watched her intently. I felt stressed and the need to calm down washed over me (obviously). I stood closer to PJ, my back on his chest. He stiffened lightly, then relaxed.
"I know!" She whisper-shouted.
"What is it?" Natasha and Liam asked simultaneously.
"Devon? Demons can create illusions, right?" Brooklyn questioned her Demon boyfriend. Said man nodded and stood back up from leaning against the wall.
"Alright. Gimme a sec," He closed his eyes, most likely envisioning something, and stretched out his hand. A small clot of blood began forming, then turned into multiple blood-like mirrors. Each of us stood in front of one, then we all saw a clone of ourselves emerge. "These will act as decoys whilst we make our escape," Everyone agreed with this plan as we watched the clones emerge, then run whilst simultaneously dodging bullets left and right.

After a few minutes, we took our leave and ran out of the city and into the forest.

~Timeskip~

"So, who's going first?" PJ asked, looking around as I sat next to him. We were currently discussing bathing arrangements.
"How about, if we are comfortable, we go in pairs to make this quicker since we might have to move if we get found," Jake suggested. We all agreed and decided on the pairs, and who would go alone. The list went like this:
- Me and PJ
- Layla , Fugax and Leoni
- Brooklyn and Devon
- Mike
- Jack and Jake

After deciding the order, we got ready for our baths by having me and PJ create towels and shampoo (as well as conditioner for the ones that wanted some).
