2. she said the maiden had to touch the door to open it, and that only the maiden could enter it(the latter was not true as Yang is not a maiden and she walked in and out just fine)

3. thus we can guess she may not have opened a similar "demon door" and only assumed an already open room she saw was opened by Fall and had formerly held the relic. 1. True, Beacon could have multiple different vaults, with most of them being decoys. Cinder seemed to think that she had found the right vault, though, judging from what she said:

Cinder: Hm, it’s certainly grander than Beacon’s. I wonder what the extra effort was for.

^ This line indicates that, at the very least, Cinder believed she had found the correct vault. What she's saying here is "I've been to Beacon's vault, and it's not as fancy as this one. I wonder why Haven's is fancier."

2. She never said that only the Maiden connected to the door can enter. In fact, she said that she - as in Cinder herself - was going to enter the pocket dimension for the Relic of Knowledge, which indicates that anyone can enter, not just the Maiden.

Cinder: Once the Spring Maiden places her hand on the door, it will open. For you - and only you. Then I will walk into the vault, and retrieve the Relic. No one else. Is that clear?

^ What she's saying here is actually "The door will only open for you, the Spring Maiden. Once the door is open, I will walk into the vault, not you or Raven, and I will be the one to retrieve the Relic. You two stay out here."

3. That is one possible thing that could've happened, yes.

4. The point I was trying to illustrate is that there is at least one other reason why Salem's group couldn't get the Relic of Choice. The Fall Maiden powers are not the only thing that they need to get to it. In hindsight, I think I misunderstood Desiree's post. It's worded kinda weirdly.
