“Argh. The underworld.” Josslyn wrinkled her nose in disgust as they appeared in a whirl of lights, gazing around at the fire scorching around her. “You know, I’ve only been here once. Back when Jade was turned into a spider and we saw Satan for the first time.” She shuddered. “I did not like it then, and I definitely do not like it now.”

“You and me both,” Aaron muttered, glancing over his shoulder. “I never liked coming down here, Josslyn. It’s dangerous. Our powers are useless down here, and it won’t be long until they sense us down here. Come on. We should hurry.” He pointed to a doorway in front of them. “There. I think I hear voices in there.”

“Then by all means. Let’s go,” Josslyn said, hurrying forward. She brushed her hand against the bright, orange rock next to her. Jumping back as it seared through her palm. “Ouch! That’s freaking hot!”

“Creatures of white magic aren’t welcome here, Josslyn,” Aaron said, following closely behind her as they neared the doorway. “That’s why they infused the walls with smoky quartz crystals. It protects them against all white magic. It’s what dampens our powers here.”

“And to think I didn’t like demons before. Now I really don’t like them!” She paused at the door, peering into the room. Her eyes widening when she saw the demons flooding the room. Some small, some big. Some were wearing cloaks. Some had horns. Some were green, some were black, and some were, scary looking, she thought, gulping. She snuck inside, ducking behind a large rock.

“What are they doing?” she asked, as Aaron squatted next to her. “And them.” She pointed to a couple or men and women standing in the middle of the room. “Are they… witches?”

“Yes. Witches and warlocks.”

“But I thought witches weren’t allowed down here?”

“Witches of white magic aren’t. When a witch uses her powers for evil, they are seen as allies to the underworld. They’re invited in, coordinated, and given a home here.”

“Hmm. I learn something new every day,” Josslyn muttered under her breath. She sighed. “What are they waiting for?”

“Someone. I think,” Aaron said. “Hey. Look. There’s Julie.” He pointed a finger as a ball of fire flung through the air. It landed on the platform in front of the demons, and they all jerked their heads up as Julie rose from where she was crouched. She raised her head, throwing back her long black hair. Her black lips pursing as she lifted the hem of the black dress she was wearing.

“Julie…” Josslyn bit her lip, hating this. Hating that she had lost her sister. Please let my sister still be in there somewhere.

“Witch!”

A gray colored demon jerked his hand up, pointing his long finger toward Julie. His eyes narrowed, the horns on his head glowing black, and spikes flung from his hand. “You’re not welcome here!”

“Demon. Demon. Demon. Don’t you know I’m one of you now?” Julie asked, laughing, as she raised her hand. Fire spewed from her palm, dissolving the spikes to ash.
