Syrus's POV
Everyone looked at me in an odd way except for Jaden, Chazz, and Zane. I had gathered everyone in my dorm room so I could explain what happened.
"Syrus, did you hit your head or something?" Atticus asked.
"No, and I'll prove it," I said, and Elizabeth came in from where she had been hiding outside the window.
"Oh my God, you're really back! My dream was real!" Chazz said, hugging her.
"Chazz, I love you, but you know I can't stand hugs, so get off!" she said, pulling away.
"But how?" Alexis asked.
"Long story short, I died, got sent to Hell, and made a deal with Lucifer in order to come back and make sure you guys were all right. Now he's pissed and has been holding me and my friend prisoner. The only way I got out was because my late brother Cedric gave me an amulet," she said.
"Well, it's good to have you back," Bastion said.
"That's the problem," I said. Everyone looked at me skeptically.
"I'm not back or good. This amulet only gives me a few hours here. I've still got to find a way to permanently break my bond to Lucifer," I said. Suddenly a strange look crossed her face.
"Wait, how did I die? That fall shouldn't have killed me unless I landed on something silver or cut myself with it on the way down," she said.
"Um, about that..." Atticus started.
"You did land on something silver, mate," Jim said.
"What? Sy, did you know about this?" she asked.
"No, I didn't, but now I'm interested," I said, looking at my friends. They hadn't told me about that.
"Your autopsy..." Bastion started.
"I had an autopsy? You bastards I said in my will specifically that I didn't want one unless I was murdered!" she yelled. It took Axel, Hasselberry, and Jim to keep her back.
"First of all, about half of your will was covered in some sort of polish. Second of all, we were wondering why that fall killed you," Alexis said.
"Who got polish on my will?" she asked.
"Uh, sorry. I was cleaning my surfboard and I was near your room looking for a washcloth and I must have grabbed it by mistake," Atticus said.
"You idiot! When I get my hands on you..." was all she could get out before I grabbed some peanut butter and put it in her mouth. We'd experimented earlier in the year to see just how canine she still was, and the effects of peanut butter were exactly the same as when put into a dog's mouth.
"Anyway, your autopsy said you landed on something silver. The way we see it, it was probably hidden by the sand. The M.E. said it was probably a dagger or an old piece of metalwork," Bastion said.
"It also said you were preg..." Atticus started before Alexis slapped her hand over his mouth in an attempt to keep her from getting even madder at him.
"We know. But, why didn't you tell me?" I asked.
"Hey, if it makes you feel better, Atticus, Zane, Chazz, and I didn't know either," Jaden said.
"Wait, you guys didn't tell me?!" Chazz yelled.
"That way you didn't kill Syrus. Same thing with Zane, and Jaden and Atticus would have let it slip. Syrus, we just didn't want you to have to go through more than you already were," Alexis said.
"Oh, thanks for the consideration guys," I said. I looked back at Elizabeth, who was still working on the peanut butter. By now she had affectively got some stuck in her throat, but it wasn't enough to make her choke, just a bit uncomfortable.
"Is she going to be okay?" Jaden asked.
"Yeah, she'll be fine," I said. She gave me a look that said, 'I'm going to kill you for this.'
