Author's Note: it's Laura



I was so happy, I almost cried! We finally found her! And got our memories back! When Julian shimmered us back home, Carmen asked, "Wait, so how did you become a demon, Julian?"

He shrugged. "It's a long story."

Carmen shrugged. "We've got time."

"Alright." He cleared his throat. "I met your father when I was seventeen. He was smart, cunning, and ambitious. He was like the father I never had. So that's what he became, the father I never had. I didn't know he was a demon yet.

"When he told me, I was twenty. I wasn't afraid, or frightened, because he was my dad, my protector, and I knew he wouldn't harm me in anyway, besides if he wanted to, he could've already.

"Then he asked if I wanted to become his right-hand man, someone who could help him like a servant, but not become his servant. I was excited. It would be like working with him! So I said yes." He shook his head. "He never told me that becoming a demon would cost me my soul. He pulled it out of me and just tossed it away. I remember this, but I didn't feel then, the way I do now."

"Wow." Carmen said. Julian looked at Ben.

"Thanks for saving my life when you did. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be alive right now." They hugged a "brothery" hug.

"It's what family's for," replied Ben.

Carmen looked at Ben. Ben looked at Carmen.

"I don't believe we've met, Ben, I presume?" She held out her hand and shook his.

Stupid Carmen... I pouted.

Why is Carmen "stupid", Laura?

Because she just is!

Laura, she isn't "stupid" just because she's shaking hands with your boyfriend, is she?

"He's not my boyfriend!" I shouted. Everyone looked at me.

Carmen gave me a funny look. "Who's not your boyfriend?"

"I wasn't talking to you!" I stormed up to my room. I hope Ben doesn't think I'm a spoil brat...



Knock, knock... "Who is it?! What do you want?!" I half-yelled.

"Uh, Laura? It's, uh, Ben."

Oh my gosh, it's Ben... I ran to the door and pulled it open.

"Uh, I was just going to ask if you could come downstairs, there's something Julian and I would like to try."

"Oh, alright." I followed him downstairs.

Carmen and Julian were sitting on a couch holding left hands. They looked like they were meditating. Shawna was staring intently at them.

I sat down on the couch and Carmen opened her eyes. "Laura!" She smiled. "I'm so glad you're here!" She hugged me, gave me something from her left hand and put it into my left hand. It was a shiny white ball of light, but it was neither hot or cold.

Ben held out his left hand. "Here take my hand." I did. "Now, close your eyes. What I'm going to do is push this orb into you. Do you trust me?" I nodded and closed my eyes. It felt like something was trying to be pushed into my brain. After a while, it got through. Then something else flew towards it and they melded, or that's what it looked like.

"Open your eyes Laura." I did. "Do you feel bad, is anything hurting?" I shook my head. "It worked!" Julian and Ben high-fived. Carmen and Shawna were smiling.

But I had not idea what just happened. "Excuse me?" Everyone looked at me. "What just happened?"
