I'm in a strange yet familiar place. Everything is so bright but dark at the same time. I have the feeling that I've already been here, but I can't know when, or where I am. There is nothing but mist around me, and the feeling of familiarity hits me every second. Have I ever actually been here, or is it just my mind playing treaks on me? I don't have time to figure it out anyway, because a wave of pain goes through my body and I wake up in the back seat of Maze's car, with her and Linda trying to bring me back into consciousness. The pain is gone, but I can't get rid of than uncomfortable feeling that I had while I was passed out, but the only thing I can thing about is the last thing the voices told me. Could Maze be an actual Demon? And if so, should I be scared? I don't have any reasons to think that they are wrong, because even though they are a pain in the ass they've never been wrong before.
"Ella! Are you ok?" Asks Linda, bringing me back to the reality. "You really scared us in there" What should I tell them? 'Oh, don't worry, I just passed out because the voices inside my head were too loud. It's not the first time anyway. Should we get something to drink?' no way, they'd think I'm crazy, which I probably am, but they don't need to know it yet, so the only thing I can do is to lie. "Yes, I'm fine. I just got a little dizzy, I think that I should't have drunk so much" I end up saying.
"Really? 'cause you were saying some pretty interesting stuff before you passed out." Says Maze in an amuzed tone.
"And... What did I exactly say?" I don't remember talking, but every time I've passed out because of them I always talked, always asking them to go away, begging them to go away. I'm lucky they're not here right now, they'll probablly give me a break for some hours.
"I think you already know. Is there anything you want to tell us?" Linda answers , and she's right, even if I can't remember what I sad I know what it was, it's always the same.
"Nope, there's nothing I want to talk about. And, please let's forget wht happened tonight" "Just one condition, you tell us what you heard" replies Maze. Will I be able to tell them everything? I don't think so. "It's a long story, and I'm really tired, could you just drive me home, please?"
"If time is what you need, we've got plenity of it." Will she ever stop asking me questions? I'm sure she won't.
"Fine, but before I tell you what they told me tonight, you need to know more. I can't remember when they started, but I do remember that they didn't use to bother me, they were quite useful since everything they ever told me was true, so I learnt how to use it in my advantage; when I was 10, my brother ran away from home and they became louder, but still right about everything. Ten years ago they just went away." I say, hoping that it'd distract her from the real question.
"That's... Not the answer for the question I asked."
"... They... Told me that you're a demon" I admit.
"Ok, what if we take her home, Maze?" Interrups Linda.
"Wait, they told you that I'm a demon, and they're always right, so you have no reason to not believe them, so now you believe that I'm a demon, doesn't that bother you at all?" Says Maze, hiding worry under confidence.
"I actually didn't want to think about that." I answer. "Okay then." Says Maze. A few seconds later she frowns and looks at me in a weird way "You said that they just went away ten years ago, but did anything remarkable happen by that time?"
"Well... My aunt had a really rare uncurable disease, but she, somehow, got better"
"And, let me guess, they came back when your brother was arrested, didn't they?" Asks the demon. I want to answer, but Maze interrupts me before I can do so. "C'mon, let's drive you home."
Maze's pov.
When I met Ella for the first time, I thought that there was something different about her, and when she started to talk I imagined that it was her personality that made me have that feeling. But now I think that I see what it was all about. i just hope that I'm wrong, because if I'm not, she'd be in a great danger.
