Chereads / Hell Unearthed / Chapter 5 - Elders

Chapter 5 - Elders

Tatiana went to Kai's room next to fetch Shane. She knocked a few times before the door was opened from the inside. It was one of Kai's friends who came to get the door. He smirked when he saw her.

She looked at him suspiciously before walking into the room; ''I hope you did not…''

Her words were cut short when she saw Shane lying with a few bruises on his face. ''Shane!'' She screamed, running to him.

''What did you guys do to him?'' Shane stood up from the bed when he saw her; there was a faint stain of blood on his shirt, and although Shane tried to pretend that he was fine, she saw he was badly beaten.

''We just welcomed him to the Academy, that's all. Can't you see that he's still breathing? If I indeed touched him, he should be dead. ''

Tatiana fumed, glaring at Kai. She was mad, but she could do nothing about it. She could barely use her powers. There was no way she was going to win against a second rank. Turning back to Shane, she helped him up the bed;

''Can you walk?'' Tatiana asked as she helped him stand up.

''Yeah, I'm fine, it doesn't hurt that much.'' Shane lied. Kai and his friends had used him as a punching bag, although they did not use any powers, they took turns in beating him, and he did not bother fighting back. It was only going to annoy them the more.

''Nyx would take you to the Elders, but you need to wash. I'll take you to the lake, just wash your face and these blood stains. We don't want anyone asking too many questions, considering how Nyx found you. I'm sure you don't want to get her in trouble; '' She paused; ''Sky too.''

''Is he awake?'' Shane asked, and she nodded. ''he's fine now. Let's hurry. It's almost training time, and I'll be punished if I'm late. ''

Tatiana said as she walked ahead, Shane following. After cleaning up, Tatiana led him back to Nyx's.

''You look quite beaten,'' Nyx commented as she stepped out of her room. Shane noticed that Nyx's uniform differed from that of Tatiana and Kai. It seemed each rank had its own uniform.

''Kai and his friends beat him up. It was my fault. I did not know anywhere else to take him to.'' Tatiana explained, her head lowered.

''It's fine. Today is the last day he'll stay here anyway, so he'll not be getting beat up again. It's almost time for your training, you can go now. '' Nyx said, dismissing Tatiana.

''You'll be fine soon, and you'll be on your way. Some descendants like to flex their strengths. That is one major drawback of the Academy, and it is hard to control everyone. '' Nyx said.

Shane followed Nyx quietly, his mind filled with thoughts of what would become of him. He thought everything would be back to normal by the time he woke up the next morning. But unfortunately, when he opened his eyes, he was still there.

He did not want to believe that this was what his reality had become, but the more time ticked, the more he was scared that he was not going back to his body. Was he dead on earth and this was his afterlife?

Shane's thoughts were caught short when a voice called Nyx and he looked up;

''Luna,'' Nyx answered as the girl approached them with a beaming face; her eyes were drawn to Shane instantly, and they stayed on him for a little too long before she looked back at Nyx;

''Where are you going with this human?'' she asked, her eyes still on Shane, as though it was him she was talking to the whole time.

Shane scratched his head; he hadn't seen many guys here, but of all he had seen, his face surely stood out. Maybe that was why Luna was staring at him. She was pretty too, and her tits looked heavy as they puffed out of her uniform. Her body moved as she spoke, which bounced her tits in return. Shane wasn't sure if it was intentional, but surely, they caught his attention.

''To the Elders, he had lost all of his memories. There have been no stories of this before, so I'm taking him to get him looked at.''

''Oh, I see. '' Luna nodded; ''Let me help you with that. Lorcian asked me to find you. I think it's important. '' Luna said as she pried Shane from Nyx's side, pulling her to him.

Well, everyone knew Luna. She fancied good-looking men. She was a first-rank water descendant, and sometimes it puzzled Nyx how she could go up in ranks when she was always around one man or another.

Although she suspected Luna had just lied to her in order to talk to Shane, she did not object. It was even better if someone else took Shane to the Elders. At least she won't have to answer questions about how she found him.

''Okay. Where is he? '' Nyx asked and Luna smiled; ''He's on the training grounds. '' Lorcian was an upper descendant who trained the first rank descendants, so it was believable if she told Nyx that he was looking for her.

''Alright, she nodded, turning to Shane, "I hope you get your memories and be on your way. Goodbye. ''

''Thank you. '' Shane said as he watched Nyx walk away. She was a nice person, but she always had a mean expression. She seemed like someone who had no time for idle games, unlike the others, who had the time to beat him up, a mere human with no powers, when there was an influx of demons on their planet!

Shane's attention was pulled from Nyx, who had disappeared into the distance to Luna, who was tugging at his side;

''So, what's your name?'' She asked, holding his arm, her tits rubbing on him. Shane cleared his throat; ''My name is Shane. '' he said, trying to free himself from her grip. Although feeling those tits was amazing, at that moment he had more pressing issues, like the fact that he was on another planet and his body might be six feet under the ground as he spoke.

''What happened to you? '' Luna asked, still batting her eyelids. It didn't seem like she actually cared about what happened to him, but Shane had no choice but to answer; at that moment, he wished she would actually be serious and take him to these Elders. Maybe they had a way of sending him back. The more time he spent here, the closer his body was to 6 feet underneath the ground!

''I lost all of my memories,'' he replied.

''Ouch, that must be sad; but don't worry, you'll be fine soon. '' Shane nodded, and thankfully, she started walking, leading the way.

''Too bad you'll be gone after you get treated. You are not a descendant.'' Luna pouted; ''I would have loved to have you around.''

A thought clicked in Shane's mind when he heard her and he asked; ''Is it possible to stay here if I don't regain my memories?''

Luna looked at him and her eyes lit up; ''you want to stay with me?''

Well, that was technically not the question he asked, but Shane nodded; ''Yeah, is it possible?'' if he wanted to stay here, and she could provide a means, he didn't mind her thinking whatever she wanted.
