Never The Same Without You

What Is Happening..

Bella's P.O.V
Devon and I walk down what seemed like a never ending hallway, when I was just about to ask where we're going he says we're here. "Where?" I ask looking around the hallway, "Your room." He says and shoves me backwards, I land hard on my back and look around confused, how did I get inside this room? I somehow ended up in the room I had woken up maybe hours before, I jumped off the ground and looked around the room. I found a box with my name on it laying on the bed waiting for me to open it, I curiously walked over to it and touched the top of it. I pulled my fingers back and saw that I had dust on them, how long has this box been untouched? I open the box and imidiantly regret it, a bright light filled the room making me shield my eyes from it. I stick my hand forward hoping to shut the box but feel something grab it and pull me forward, I scream as I fall into the bright light. I land on something soft, I open my eyes and realize I'm in the same place. I spot the box next to me and quickly shut the top, once its closed I grab it and walk over to the fire place and throw it in wanting to get rid of it. When the box lands in the flames I feel like I just landed in the fire myself, I scream and scratch my arms hoping to stop it the feeling but only make it worse. I screamed until I felt a pair of hands wrap around mine stopping the burning feeling, "Bella, its me, Ashton!" I gasp and turn around, "Ashton!" I sqreech and hug him, "What the hell happened to you?" He asked while looking at my bloody arms, "Its kind of hard to explain." I say backing away from him, once I let go of his hand the burning came back and I nearly screamed. I grabbed his hand again and it went away, "Bella, what just happened?" Ashton asked with a confused look on his face, "I-I don't know, all I know is that whenever I touch you the burning feeling stops." I answer knowing I didn't make much sense, "Uh, what?" He asked, I huffed infrustration and pulled him by the hand over to the fire place. "You see that box?" I point to it burning in the fire, he nods and I continue. "Well when I got back to the room it was just laying on the bed, so I opened it and this bright light filled the room, when I reached my hand out to close the box it felt like something grabbed my hand and pulled me foward. When I opened my eyes I was lying on the bed with the box open and empty, I then threw it in the fire and felt as if I threw myself in the fire as well." I explained taking a deep breath afterwards, "Oh no." He mumbled and ran the hand that wasn't holding mine through his hair, "What?" I asked panicked, "Look at me, do not let go of my hand, if you do you'll be possesed by an ancient demon that was trapped inside that box." He said looking closely at me, "But why only your hand? Why not someone else's?" I asked, "Because I was the one who trapped her in the box, and I made a witch put a spell on her, if she would posses a body I'm the only one who can keep her contained." He said, I nod my head trying to understand what he said. "We need to go, now." He said pulling me closer to him, I nod and close my eyes feeling a blast of air hit my face. I open my eyes and waited for Ashton to open his, "Ashton." I whispered and poked his cheek, his eyes shot open turning a dark red color making me gasp, he grabbed my hand and squeezed it hard. "Ashton?" I repeated while shaking him a bit, his red eyes faded into his normal green ones, "What just-" I was cut off by Ashton pulling me by the hand to a door, he opened it and began walking down the stairs that I asume led to the basement. "Let us out!" A heard multiple screams shout as we entered the basement, "Hello? Is anyone there?" Another voice shouted, I looked at Ashton but all he did was shrug. I glared at him and pulled him towards the voices, I peek inside the room and almost faint.. Harry, Louis, Liam, Niall, and Zayn were locking in a cell. "Oh my god!" I whispered and looked at them, they all shouted my name and ran to the gates of the cell. "Wait, where's Mona?" I ask looking around panicked, "She's fine, her and Luke are having a little chat upstairs." Micheal said emerging from a shadow, "What do you-" I was cut off by someone groaning from a different cell, "Wait, why are you and Ashton holding hands?" Harry asked looking at our linked hands, "I'll explain later." I say tugging Ashton to follw me, I walk to the other cell and see Mason, Dylar, Tyler, and James laying on the ground unconscious. "Tyler, James!" I shouted and shook the bars, "Calm down, they'll be fine." Micheal said with an eye roll, I turned towards him and gave him my best 'I-hate-you' look. "Bitch." He said and scoffed, "You're the bitch, Micheal!" I shouted at him ready to take a swing at him but get pulled into Ashtons arms, "What?" Micheal asked with a confused look, "He didn't say anything, Bella." Ashton whispered in my ear, "Oh." I mumbled and shook my head, I haven't told them I can read minds yet.. "Whatever, I need to go find Mona." I say and pull Ashton away, "Wait, Bella! Be carful." Harry said with worried eyes, I nod and continue my way up the stairs. We make it all the way up the stairs until I hear an ear peircing scream that sounded an awful lot like Mona's, before I know what I'm doing I let go of Ashtons had and somehow know where she is, I follow my insticts and end up in front of Luke and Mona. "Get your hands off my sister!" I shouted not sounding like myself, Luke and Mona turn towards me with horrified expressions. I felt myself lift off the ground and everything went black..
