11:56 pm.?!

This can't be happening. Step-devil said... SHE'D BE BACK BY 12!

"Excuse me, I need to leave. I'm sorry." I slithered out of his grasp and rushed towards the stairs.

"Wait! I want to know your name!" I heard him yell and run after me. I did not look back, I also didn't notice my bracelet had slipped off when I was running for my life. I ran through the crown and down the stairs and made it to the road.

I stepped inside Yukka's limo and told the driver to drive to my house and return for Yukka. The car engines started and he drove off.

The clock struck twelve and the demons came home. I had made it in time. But I realized that a certain object on my wrist was missing.

Oh no, it must've...

Fallen.
