The demon exploded as Will drove the blade home. He jerked back.
"Will!" yelled his best friend, Jem. "You should see this!"
But his voice sounded oddly far away, like he was speaking through glass. Will tried to reply, but no sound came. The world started getting fuzzy; the colours faded, and Will saw a bright light.
Bloody hell, was his last thought before he was sucked into the light. He expected to be blinded by it, but that's not what he saw. Everywhere he looked, he saw black and white pictures flickering by at a dizzying speed.
Then he saw an opening ahead, at the end of the tunnel. He almost rolled his eyes at himself. At the end of the tunnel. How cliché. Except he didn't see a light. In fact, the opening looked more grey-ish.
Suddenly, he was dumped on a hard, cold floor in a light blue room completely unfurnished.
All around him, he saw others appearing out of nowhere and landing painfully on the floor, much like himself.
What the Hell? That was Roth's first thought after landing on the floor in a room he'd never seen with people he'd never met. Especially as he was certain he hadn't thought to go there, and it was not possible that he'd transported unwillingly.
Everyone around him – all boys, he noticed – looked around wildly, appearing as confused as him.
Everyone started talking at the same time, the voices getting louder and louder. A black-haired guy started pulling at the door, but he jerked back the second he touched it. Then Roth saw the door handle freeze – literally. Ice crawled over the iron, and…
The door opened suddenly, and revealed two girls – one tall with bright red, curly hair and green eyes, the other short with straight-ish, light brown hair and blue eyes. They took one look at the guy in front of them, then they turned their attention to the door handle behind them, and their eyes widened.
"Oh, no", whispered shortie.
The red haired girl waved her hand, and the door closed behind them.
For a moment, everything was still. Then one of the other guys lunged towards them, and chaos ensued.
