The three left the classroom in silence as they stared at the retreating back of the black haired girl, Beth. Aggy could definitely see the resemblances now between the girl and her best friend as they shared the same olive colored skin and hair color. After putting the pieces together Stiles, Scott and Aggy had decided that they would try and speak with the girl afterwards.

"So how do we exactly approach her on this. 'Hey your granny was actually a selfish person that pretty much murdered her best friend do you know how we can get her now alive best friend back home'?" Stiles asked.
"I don't think we have to worry about anything" Scott pointed as Aggy straightened her back and took determined steps towards the girl.
"I've got this boys" she told them over her shoulder.


"Excuse me" I said as I tapped her on the shoulder once I had finally followed her to the library.

"Hmm?" The girl asked me as she looked up at me from her book.

"Hi" I waved at her.
"Hi" she smiled back with a confused look on her face.
"I'm Aggy and it's Beth right? I couldn't help but notice that, that picture you showed in class had my great grandma in it and her best friend" I explained to her feeling weird that I had to call myself great grandma.
"Yeah, and really? Oh my gosh I can totally see that" she gasped as she took a look at me.

"I know right? And I'm sorry about what happened to your grandma" I apologized to her genuinely.
"She was old it was her time anyways" she explained.

Would it have been my time too? I thought to myself feeling, what felt like a punch to my gut.

"Did you know your great grandma? I thought my great grandma said her best friend died when they were young? Maybe I heard her wrong" she shrugged.
"Never got the chance to meet her, she had my grandma when she was really young and then gave her up for adoption. We didn't really know about her till years later" I lied and their was a moment of silence between us.

"Umm, what did she say about her best friend?" I asked curiously.

"They were basically like sisters, she was devastated when she passed" she explained. I resisted the urge to quirk an eyebrow at that.
"Actually" she held a finger up as she dug into her backpack.

"Here, this is her diary for the year they lived together. It was during the war and it's the same year my grandpa came home, well that's what she told me. I never got the courage to read it, I felt like I was invading her privacy after she died" she told me as she handed me the leather bound diary I had seen Lottie write in every night.

"You can borrow it if you want" she offered.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yeah, just remember to return it" she said.

"Thank you" I hugged her, which caught her off guard and quickly made my way to somewhere secluded to read it. As I sat down I let myself think for a moment about what I was about to do.

Please let this be my ticket home I prayed as I flipped through the pages looking for the night of my disappearance or if there was anything suspicious before that. A good majority of it was her talking about Artie, her boyfriend that she had absolutely adored and missed terribly once the draft took him off to war, until I came across what I was looking for.

October 24,

After school today I found the oddest thing. The library was getting rid of old books and I came across a book of old spells and conjuring. I grabbed it just for fun but the more I look into it the more fascinating it is. There's something you can do in here where you can have any wish you want come true, if you meet up with a Crossroads demon. Wouldn't that be amazing? I could have Artie back! He's the only thing I have left now with mom and dad gone now. Aggy and her mother are both sweethearts but...it's not the same.

October 28,

It's silly what I'm about to do tonight. I'm being an idiot there's no way this is possibly going to work. But what if it does? Well we'll see.

October 29,
I did it, I made a deal with the devil with the instructions I got from an old thrown out library book. And now I have to do something bad. But is it really bad if I don't actually kill her. She's just going to sleep like sleeping beauty and Artie will come home. Everything is going to be perfect in the end we all have to make our sacrifices.

October 31,

What have I done.

November 14,

Artie's back, it's so lovely to see him again and I have never been happier. But, tomorrow is Aggy's funeral I don't think I'm going to go I couldn't stand the guilt. I haven't slept in days.

I quit reading at that point and felt tears run down my cheeks as I slammed the book down. I had a funeral, a funeral that my mom attended and probably cried her eyes out at, because of how selfish my "best friend" was. Why didn't she tell me she was so unhappy?

A bell rang making me jump and suddenly the halls filled with students. I quickly sat up and wiped my eyes and looked around for my new group of...I guess you could call them "friends but still acqaintances". Once I had spotted them I followed them to a lunch table.
"Hi" I said letting them know of my presence. They all looked at me and Allison gladly scooted over.
"You ok?" Scott asked.

Damn puffy red eyes I thought.
"Allergies" I lied and I knew that no one bought it especially by the look Stiles was giving me so I quickly placed the diary on the table before we could continue.

"She sent me here via Crossroads demon" I croaked out.
"Yeah sorry? Who are you?" this voice asked and we all looked to my left to see a blonde haired boy sitting next to Allison.
"Oh yeah this is Aggy, Aggy this is Isaac" Scott quickly introduced me.
"Nice to see I'm the last to know things...again" Isaac smiled with a sarcastic tone in his voice that made Allison chuckle.
"Sorry" Scott huffed out. Isaac and I both awkwardly waved at each other.
"Aggy you said Crossroad's Demon right?" Lydia asked directing our attention back to the more important subject as she looked at her phone with a concerned look on her face.
"Yeah why?" I asked her. She gave us all a wary look.
"We're in trouble" she sighed.
"How?" Stiles asked.
"Apparently once a pact with a demon is broken, he comes back for his payment to be fulfilled no matter what?" she explained.

"So now that I'm awake-"

"We have a demon who's not to happy with us and is in a murderous rage" Stiles finished for me.

"Great" I said with harshest tone of sarcasm I could muster.
