Chapter 20 - BACK IN HELL...

Alice was in deep tears after hearing her story. So it was her demon side that was making her evil. She hugged Zhou. "Mom... how will I control my powers?" Alice sobbed.

"Calm down, my dear. I can teach you to control your witch powers, but you need a demon to teach you how to control your demonic abilities," Zhou explained.

"Where is my real father?" Alice questioned.

"My dear, your dad gave up his memories for you. The spell I cast had a price. Either we both lost our memories, or one would lose theirs, and then when you lost your innocence, he would get them back," Zhou explained. "So now he's in hell, and I need a demon to open the gates of hell."

Alice placed her hand on her mom's and gave it a gentle squeeze. "I'll help you, Mom," she volunteered. Zhou gave her a sincere grin and kissed her hair. "Thank you, dear," Zhou said. "But I'll teach you how to control your witch powers. Without learning, it'll be deadly for you," Zhou warned.

Three months passed quickly, and Alice had already learned everything she needed to know as a witch. Now, the only thing left was to learn how to control her demonic powers. Very soon, she'd be back in hell.

The sky was intensely dark, blurring vision if one tried to gaze into it. Alice stood within a pattern that looked like a triangle inside a triangle. Her hair had grown longer, almost reaching her feet. Her eyes had lost their color, now a reddish-black. Her nails were longer than before, and her fangs had elongated. She laughed evilly as the portal opened. Thick, dark smoke enveloped her, and fire visibly circled the triangle she stood within.

"Hahahaha... finally, my powers... they're back!" she exclaimed wickedly. Then the portal opened widely and swallowed her.

Inside hell, Alice descended directly onto a throne. It was made of gold and adorned with diamond stones. Beneath the throne sat the statue of a fierce dragon. In what seemed like an instant, all the demons gathered in her chamber. The chamber was as vast as a park.

Her gown was long and form-fitting, accentuating her curves. The color was reddish-black with an open back. The sleeves were mere threads, and the gown was almost transparent. They all bowed to their queen, and she gave a short speech, promising them a cool reign. She would grant them the freedom they deserved: they could terrorize the human world, and they could mate with humans. She declared she would be the coolest queen they'd ever had, and they all cheered to her promises. She picked four males for training, surely to choose her two loyal guards. She also selected four females to test, so she could pick her two loyal maids.

Three days later, they were done with training. She picked Ramiere and Sarly. Sarly was a guy of about 20 with a charm that attracted attention. His orange hair reached his shoulder, his facial features were striking, and his masculine figure was awesome. Ramiere was Shawn's cousin, Skyline. Unlike Skyline, Sarly had never been in the human world, so his name was still Sarly. Among the ladies, Amaya, a beautiful lady with dark brown short hair reaching her neck, was chosen. She was pretty and possessed the qualities Alice needed, so she passed the test. Then Alver, another beauty, was chosen. She had short blonde hair reaching her shoulder and purple eyes. Amaya's demon name was Alry, but because she was once in the human world, she disguised her name. Alice also had her demon name, which was Nyx. After the selection party, every selected person was given a personal room in the chamber.
