Chapter 24

"Fabulous!" Agent X laughed maniacally. "This is just fabulous!"

The agents all chuckled awkwardly along with her. Agent X was absolutely ecstatic.

"We've finally got them!" she cheered. "I have Sterling Knight and Demi Lovato, or whoever she really is, in my hands!"

"What do you mean?" one agent asked. "Isn't Demi Agent Allison?"

Agent X waved him off. "No, you imbecile. Allison is playing Sonny Munroe back at Condor Studios. This is some imposter she's found."

"She looked awfully similar to Agent Allison, though," the agent noted.

"Nonsense!" Agent X shrugged off. "I know Allison. She would stay back with her chums at So Stupid! So naive, thinking I don't know her."

"Right, of course," murmured the agents.

Agent X put her excitement to a halt and exhaled. "Ah. Now please bring them in. I need to ask those two a few questions."

"They're coming!" Demi cried. "I just heard the guards talking about it."

Sterling slammed his hand to his head. "Crap. What are we going to do?"

"We need a plan!" Demi insisted.

"No time," Sterling shook his head.

Demi looked at him as if he was crazy. "So you propose we tell them everything? Have you gone insane?"

Sterling shook his head again. "Silly girl, that's ridiculous. Of course we're not going to do that. We're going to wing it."

"Wing it?" Demi raised an eyebrow.

Sterling nodded. "Yeah, wing it." As the confusion remained on her face, he looked at her oddly. "Do you know what that means?"

She blushed. "Uhh... Not really, no."

"Wow," Sterling chuckled. "Well, we're just going to think of what to do right then and there."

"WHAT?" Demi gasped. "That's ridiculous! I'm not good under pressure!"

"Chillax!" Chad coaxed. "I'll help. I'm a master at winging."

"Hey, you!" the guard called. Sterling and Demi turned to see him opening the cell. "Agent X would like an audience with you two."

"So..." Agent X mused, twirling the red straw in her fruit smoothie. "Would you like anything to drink?"

Demi didn't say anything. She was entirely too fascinated with her hands which were trembling in her lap. Sterling was completely still in the similar leather chair next to her. He shook his head to Agent X and nudged Sonny, who immediately jumped.

"What?" she asked, innocently but nervously.

Agent X gave her a curious look. "Drink?" She pointed to hers in emphasis.

"Oh! Um, no, thank you," Demi shook her head, still trembling.

"Alright," Agent X replied. "Well, Sterling and Demi. How are you doing today?"

Sterling looked at her as if she were stupid. Just fine, you know, besides the fact we've been trapped in your cell and are apparently prisoners, just fine, he thought. "We're fine," he coldly replied. Demi said nothing.

"Great," was Agent X's cool reply. "Now I'd like to ask you two some questions."

"Ask away!" Demi replied, in a hopeless attempt to sound cheery.

Agent X didn't bat an eyelash. "Who are you people, really?"

"Really?" Sterling questioned. "Well, I'm Sterling Knight. But if by really you mean, full name, it's Sterling Sandmann Knight. And Demi would be Demetria-"

"Don't play games with me!" shrieked Agent X. "I know you're not Sterling Knight. And I'm absolutely sure you're not Demi Lovato."

Sterling chuckled. "What tells you that?"

Agent X stared oddly at him. "Why would Sterling Knight willingly become part of this plan?" She looked at Demi with expectance. Sterling nudged her.

She jumped. "P-plan?" she squeaked. "What plan?"

"Do not lie to me," Agent X hissed causing Demi to shiver. "I don't know who you are and how you look exactly like Demi-"

"Because I am Demi," she quickly piped in, regaining confidence slowly.

Agent X cocked an eyebrow. "Then explain who is at So Random! playing Sonny Monroe right now."

Sterling's brows raised. "Why, even I can answer that one. I'm positive it's Sonny Monroe, of course." Demi nodded in agreement.

"That's impossible," Agent X seethed. "How can you be there if you're here?"

"Because I am not Sonny Mon-"

"WHERE IS ALLISON?" Agent X roared. "I'm not going to sit around here and play twenty questions. Where is Agent Allison?"

"I can assure you we are both not familiar with any Allison or any agent of that kind," Sterling replied.

Agent X looked like she was about to strangle him but composed herself. "Very well, then," she replied. "I'll play. Sterling Knight, is it?"

Sterling smiled without emotion. "Indeed. X, is it?"

Agent X returned the gesture. "Yes. X," she let her one-lettered name slither down her lips in a threatening hiss. She looked to Demi with a dangerous smile. "Demi Lovato, is it?"

Demi flinched under her deep stare but nodded.

"Wonderful," was her whispered reply. "But you see, my dear, that's simply impossible."

"Wh-why is that?" Demi stammered, feeling very small under Agent X's sly grin. Even Sterling seemed suspicious.

"Because just like there is no such thing as Sonny Monroe," she smirked. "There is no such thing as Demi Lovato."

Demi remained silent as did Sterling. They both had no clue what to say.

"They were my creations," she boasted. "My dolls! I could make her funny little So Random! star Sonny Monroe to Disney's Demi Lovato in a matter of hours.

"My little Allison was just the guinea pig. She was under my control. Under my complete control."

Sterling's cobalt eyes turned cold and his fists clenched at the arm of his chair.

"So," Agent X stood up, walking closer to them. "There's only one way to figure this out."

Before anyone could react, Agent X grabbed Demi locked her arms in handcuffs she had oh-so-cleverly hidden behind her back. Demi screams were muffled by Agent X's hand.

Sterling attempted to come to her but many agents prevented him to do so by holding him back with more handcuffs.

"What are you doing?" he demanded, struggling against the agent's grasp.

"You refused to play the easy way," said Agent X. "So we'll just have to do it the hard way."

"NO!" was Sterling's last cry before being silenced by the agent's hands. More agents arrived and carried him out. They stopped at a room near and threw him inside. Sterling hit the floor with a loud thud as the door clicked shut. His eyes opened to see nothing but darkness. As he tried to put his hands up, he gasped in fear.

"No..." he whispered. "They took her." His head turned to his right arm and saw the familiar wooly string on his wrist.

Tears pooled in his eyes. "What have I done?"

Demi felt absolutely miserable. Imagine being completely paralyzed. You couldn't move your arms, legs, head, or anything. Not even talking was possible. Then imagine being locked in silent dark room where you couldn't see anything. If you can see that, you have a pretty good idea of how Demi felt.

She whimpered in frustration. Where is he? Was he safe? She worried of many things.

A loud grumble came from her stomach. She groaned. Great. Now I'm hungry, she thought.

"Hey," she heard a whisper in the darkness. Her heart lifted. Was it...?

"It's Ron," an agent confirmed walking into the darkness. He extended a plate with a loaf of bread on it. "Here. I got this for you."

Demi's eyebrows raised. She moved her arms signaling there was no way she could eat.

"Oh," Ron noticed. "I'll, um, just feed it to you."

Demi nodded and motioned for him to take the duct tape off her mouth.

He hesitated. "Will you scream?" She shook her head and he removed it from her mouth.

"Ah," she gasped. "Thank you."

"Thought you were hungry," he said while sticking slices of bread in her eager mouth. "Agent X refused for anyone to bring you any food, but I snuck my leftovers for you."

"Thank you," Demi smiled. "I'm very grateful."

Ron smiled back. "You have a nice smile," he complimented. "Reminds me of someone..."

Demi shifted uncomfortably. "Yeah..."

"I'm sorry about this," he frowned. "I wish I could send you and your friend home or atleast give you better living arrangements, but..."

"Agent X," Demi scowled.

"Yeah.."

"I saw."

"By the way," he said. "Do you mind explaining who you are? This isn't information for Agent X. I'm just deeply curious because you look so much like Allison."

Demi eyed him curiously. "Have you not talked to Taylor yet?"

"RON!" screamed the guard by the cell. "What are you doing?"

Ron muttered a curse word. "Uh...yeah. Just making sure she wasn't going anywhere!"

"Well, bring her here," the agent commanded. "Agent X would like to see her."

Ron nodded sadly. "Alright." He picked Demi up and held her. "Sorry about this," he whispered before taping her mouth shut.

"Where is she?" Sterling demanded, glaring at Agent X with fury behind his chains.

Agent X smirked. "Oh, she's coming."

At the moment, Ron entered with a angered Demi in his arms. When she saw Sterling in chains, she attempted to go to him.

"No use, dear," Agent X laughed, walking up to her. "I'll take this one," she told Ron before grabbing her away from him.

"Stop!" Sterling screamed. Agent X just laughed again at him and took the tape off Demi's mouth.

"Be her knight in sterling armor later," Agent X joked. "I need a word with her." She put Demi to eye level, and gave her a stern stare.

"Tell me," she started, "your real name."

Demi stuttered. "Demi Lova-"

"LIAR!" Agent X struck her across the face causing her to scream in pain.

"NO!" Sterling shouted before the guards encircled him. "Don't touch her!"

"Tell me again, dear," Agent X said with that sweet and sickly smile. "What is your real name?"

Tears of fear ran down her face. "I told you. It's Demi-"

Agent X fished something out of her back pocket. She showed the sharp silver knife, glinting in the light before holding it to Demi's neck.

"Now," Agent X said behind Demi's face. "I think you want to tell me your real name."

Demi's eyes closed. "It's-"

"SONNY!" Sterling shrieked after taking the agent's arms off of him. The guards were so shocked they let go of him.

Demi gasped. "No!"

"Sonny?" Agent X questioned. "What do you mean Sonny?"

Sterling went pale. "Uhh..."

Agent X twirled Demi around and looked her dead in the eye. Her childish face was trembling and her teeth gleaming behind her mouth. Her eyes had fear in them, the chocolate turning to a dark brown.

"Allison?" she gasped, letting go of her grip on her. "What?"

She walked over to Sterling and looked at him closely. His blue eyes were dark as the night sky. She knew those eyes...

"Chad Dylan Cooper," she realized. "Oh no..."

"You tricked me," she said to both of them. "You disguised yourselves as Demi Lovato and Sterling Knight! How..."

"Wait," she suddenly whispered, unbelievable fear making her voice sound small. "If you're Allison," she pointed to Demi. "Then..."

Agent X walked over to a side table and switched the television on. It was showing an episode of So Random!, the Check It Out Girls. She walked straight up to the screen, pointed to Sonny's face, and with mad panic, turned to everyone.

"Who's that?"

"Coming?"

Sonny looked up at her companion and nodded. He returned the gesture and left the room. Before standing up from her chair, Sonny raced her fingers through her hair in thought. She looked at the mirror, her eyes squinting in concentration. Then, a smile broke out on her face at the remarkable resemblance.

Perfect, she smirked.
