Birds squawk and a faint sound of an ocean is next to me.

Where are we now?

"Everyone!!! Wake up!!!" yells Phil.

I grumble awake, pushing the sand from under me to get up, my daughter suddenly groaning out in pain.

I fully wake up, she stands up and holds her head.

"Maeve, what's wrong?"

I ask her.

"My head hurts a lot..."

She says while clutching Cuddles.

I look up at her head and only now realize that her horns are gone.

Slowly, the others start to wake up.

I touch Maeve's head to maybe still feel for her horns.

And they aren't there.

It's like they completely disappeared.

I bring this to everyone's attention, but it's short lived when we all see what's around us now.

Everyone around us gawks at their surroundings, there's a giant green lady statue holding a ceramic torch of similar colour.

"It's the human world!!!"

They all cry in happiness with wide smiles plastered on their faces.

"Look! There are buildings!"

"And living people!"

"There are no demons here!!!"

"Y/n! We did it!" I told her, looking back and attempting to squeeze her hand.

My happy expression changes into dead surprise when I whip my head around and realize I was gripping air.

Where did she go?

Phil also notices that Emma is gone, and soon enough, as fast as everyone's excitement came, it quickly died.

"Emma! Y/n! Call back if you're nearby!!" Nigel yells.

So there was a reward, they just didn't tell us!

I believed my girlfriend's words too...

Y/n said it with such confidence... She even gave me her necklace to prove it!

God damnit!

Idiots!

I felt Y/n's necklace I had put on, feeling a sort of paper material wrapped around it tightly.

I gasp lightly and look down, taking off the rolled paper with care.

"What's that??"

Everyone asks crowding around me.
