Possessed by Kayla Smith Page B

dodges it, but barely. Now he is coming straight for me. Thankfully I still have the ability to levitate so I jump over him and quickly shoot out another fireball at him before I landed back on the ground. It hits him in the back but it doesn’t kill him.
    He turns around to face me and I have another fireball ready but he doesn’t charge at me or make a move to attack. Instead, he speaks to me: “Clarisse, you are meant to be here. It is the path that was laid out for you to take. Those dreams you had are a part of your path. They were to get you ready so you can help stop what is otherwise destined to happen today. You have very little time left to save yourself, or your friends and family. If you do not make it then you will all die down here. Beware of the possessor Demons- they are everywhere and everyone. You never know who is who until it is too late.” He releases the others and as they rise we all see him turn to flames and ashes on the ground.
    “What was that supposed to mean? And what happened to him?” Rebecca asks when she is able to stand up again.
    I explain everything that he said to me, although I don’t know much of what it means- except that I was meant to be here and my dreams will help me win. “I don’t know who he was or why he just burst to flames in front of us but he warned us that we will all die down here and that we don’t have much time left. We need to get Alana and get out. I’m worried about what will happen if we don’t make it to her in time,” I finish, grabbing Sean’s hand and walking forward.
    I don’t stop to check if they are following; I just keep walking. Like that Demon said, I’ve been here before in my dreams and I know this place. I also know that Alana is in deep trouble and we are going to need a very powerful potion to get her out; one that I unfortunately wasn’t smart enough to take with me. 
    We walked around the tunnels for a while before we finally come to a spot that reminds me of another dream. We are in an open hall which has doors upon doors along the walls. I know from experience that those doors lead to other dimensions... and only one leads to the room where Alana is being held.
    Everyone crowds around me and looks at all the doors. I assume that they are wondering which one to take and I’m sure that no one knows what lies beyond them. This Jeffrey is really slick; getting us down here and locking her in a room that is almost impossible to find, and with the chance of getting trapped in another dimension. But he didn’t count on me having dreams about this place and knowing what kind of trick he is playing. “Don’t touch any of the doors; if you open the wrong one you and anyone close to you at the time will be sucked into another dimension,” I say. The group seems to doubt me, though. They don’t all know that I’ve dreamt about this before and I’m not wasting time to tell them again. “Just trust me, okay? I know which room Alana is in and I know how to get her out. The only problem is that it requires a powerful potion that I made years ago, but I don't have it with me.” It probably wasn’t the best idea to say that last part, but they need to know everything.
    “So then how do we get the potion if we don’t have our powers? I mean, Sebastian and Rebecca could conjure it, but were in the freaking Underworld and our powers don’t work down here!” Yashira exclaims, unable to hold back her anger.
    I think about what she says and the only logical answer is for me to go back home to grab the correct potion, especially since no one else knows where I keep it “Okay. I’ll go back and get it. No one go to any of those doors- I’m serious about what will happen. It should take me about five minutes. Okay?”
    Rebecca speaks up now. “She is telling the truth. She will explain everything after we get Alana out of here and we are back at home. For now, we stand watch for anything that might sneak up on us. You will not touch any
