Chapter 13

“What the hell was that?” Asher called out.

“It sounded like Professor Angelo,” Lux said as she tried to peer into the darkness.

“It came from way back deep in there,” Sully said.

“We have to help her,” Lux said, turning to head into the depths of the darkness.

“Hang on, Lux,” Lucas said, taking a firm hold of her arm and holding her back.

“Lucas, what are you doing? Let me go,” Lux argued. She tried to pull her arm free. “It’s Professor Angelo. We can’t just leave her down here.”

“How can you be sure it’s really her?”

Lux hesitated. “It sounded like her. I’ve been listening to her talk every day in class and I know her voice.”

“Hang on a second.” Sully pulled his walkie talkie off his belt. “Anyone from your team just scream?”

“No.”

“Who’s this?”

“Ms. Angelo. What’s going on?”

“We’re in the basement and we just heard something that sounded like you scream.”

“I’m right above you, but I didn’t scream. Good catch.”

“Yeah. It’s Lucas who suspected it wasn’t really you.”

“Be careful down there.”

“Will do.” Sully put the walkie talkie back on his belt.

“So, they’ve taken to imitating us,” Lucas said. “Just another reason we need to stick close together.”

“If the portal really is down here,” Lux said, “they’ll have their strongest demons protecting it.”

The guys nodded.

“I feel it even stronger than before.” Lux sniffed the air as she took another step into the basement.

“I feel it too,” Sully said.

“Same here,” Lucas said.

“We’ve got to beat this,” Asher said.

They heard the bone chilling scream again.

“Come on,” Lux said. “Follow that scream.” She led them deeper into the basement. “Watch your heads,” she called back. “The ceiling drops here.” She ducked into a small door and pushed the old rotting wood back.

“This must have been their storage room,” Lucas said as he pointed his flashlight to the damp earth.

Lux walked off the concrete floor and onto the sand. “Great,” she said dryly. “We’re directly on the sand.”

“Nice spot for a portal,” Sully added.

“Exactly.”

Lux scanned the small sandy room with her flashlight and saw nothing but old shelving and a few rusted tin cans. But as she made her way around the far corner, and aimed her flashlight at the space, she gasped.

“What is it?” Lucas said as he came up beside her. “Holy shit.”

Sully and Asher joined them. “What the hell…?”

In the center of the small sandy space stood Romeo surrounded by Lux, Lucas, Asher and Sully.

Lux stared at Romeo, a chill running down her back. Her lookalike was making out with Romeo and clearly enjoying it. He, too, was enjoying the imposter’s kiss.

“Oh,” Romeo said, pulling away from the passionate kiss. “Look what you made me do, Lux. I missed you so much, I had to create my own Lux. Isn’t she beautiful?”

Lux simply groaned as she looked disbelievingly at herself. It was an eerie feeling to see herself holding onto Romeo, and a strange and inexplicable part of her resented the imposter. Oh, for crying out loud, she scolded herself. You can’t be jealous of a demon imposter.
