Chapter 3: Dark Room

I stared at him looking at his beautiful cat eyes. He doesn't seem surprised to see me and walked passed me like I didn't exist.

 Rachel help me up but I was still staring at his retreating figure in shock and I wonder why he acted like he doesn't know me.

"Well, that was rude" Rachel said with a frown looking at the hall he just passed through.

"But cute though... And why are you staring at him, Destiny " she asked curiously.

"I know him... Kinda" I replied with a frown of my own.

 "oh...." Was all Rachel said before we continued on our walk to the cafeteria.

When we pushed the red cafeteria door open, I saw lot of teen we were much if I'm not mistaken, we are up to a hundred.

"When is training?" I asked Rachel as we looked around for a free table.

"Every morning by 7:00am" she mumbled while racing her hand through her blonde locks.

We spotted one and Rachel told me to seat there while she got our food. I eat quietly, thinking about tomorrow's training. The thoughts of failing and making a fool out of myself flood my head but I cleared them out. 

I was doing this for mom. To avenge my mother's death. 

A young man walked inside the big cafeteria and everyone stood up.

"We are happy young master to see you in our mist" everyone said at once while I was still seated, confused to what as happening.

"uhm, what just happened and who is that?" I asked Rachel once she sat down.

"Oh, that's young master... I don't really know his name but he will be the one training us" She told me with a bread in her mouth.

Once we were done, we went back to our room since it was already late. Rachel was already faat asleep but I couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk.

I tiptoed out of the room and walked down the big hall as I passed different rooms. I just kept walking, looking at the beautiful structure and painting out the Academy.

 I might just love it here I thought to myself.

When I was done roaming the silent hall, I went back trying to find my way to my room when I heard a young girl scream.

"I looked to the left and saw a dark room. I must have heard the sound coming from there" I mumbled lowly.

I was very curious to see what was happening there but a part of me said not to go and the other suggested I should. Maybe my curiosity get the best of me.. 

I took in a deep breath and moved slowly to the room with my heart beating so hard in my chest, I could hear it.

When I got to the door, i opened it slowly and what I saw scared the hell out of me.

I saw the big ugly demon sucking the brain out of a girl about of about 17 years. Her blood was all over the place, she was wailing in pain as the beast shoved his fingers through her chest removing her heart out of her body.

I was too shocked to move, thinking if I make a step, its might hear my movement. I couldn't breathe. I started cursing myself, if I only knew how to use my fight I could have gone but I don't wanna die. 

I felt a hand tapping my back and my body instantly froze. I closed my eyes in fear that the demon might have shifted to my back and thoughts rushed into my head. 

What if it's the Demon?!

Am I going to die?!

Will I never see my dad again?!

Maybe if I stay this way, it will go away.

When I could finally muster a little bit of courage, i turned my head a little to my back and I saw him... my angle. 

"Don't go inside" he said in his deep angelic voice. "That room its not protected with the powder" he added, glaring at the Demon still in front of us.

" wh.. What about the girl she's gonna die" I whispered with a shaky breath.

"She's dead already. Let's leave this place before the demon notices our present." he said holding my hand. 

We left there I couldn't get the scene out of my head... the blood and all. I thought this place was protected by magic! How did it know get in?!

"Not all the rooms here are protected with the magic powder" he said like he just read my thought abd I nodded still feeling scared .. I faced him

" do you know how this demons came or how they exist" I asked him curiously

" the are DEVIL sarvent" he answered with a sad smile

"Don't you know that" he added looking surprised.

" I don't know. Dad never told me" I replied with a sigh

"So what will he do" I asked

"Who??. You mean Master. He warned everyone not to go inside that rooms " he replied 

"Your name" I finally asked him after all this while. Since the first time I saw him, I had always wondered what his name was.

"Lex"

I worded out his name from my lips and it quite fits him " I'm destiny" I told him with a slight grin.

"I'll walk you to your room cause I can feel the way your hand is shaking" lex said looking down at our joined hands.

"Yeah " I nodded my head in agreement.

We walked beside each other and I kinda felt good about it.

"You really like getting lost huh" he said with a chuckle and I smiled. "Not really" 

" where are you from?" I asked him.

"Nowhere " he replied curtly with a frown and I furrow my brow.

"Did I say anything wrong?" I asked glancing up at him.

"No destiny. Just don't ask me where I'm from ever again" he said sounding serious. 

 After that, we said nothing to eachoyher untill we got to the door to my room.

"Good night" I said and he nodded and left and also left wonder what I did wrong . 

I woke up due to the sound of my alarm and released a groan before taking a pillow and placing it over my head. 

"Come on get up" Rachel said with a laugh as she yanked the pillow away from my head. Hesitantly, I opened my eyes and looked at the figure above my head.

"Wow you are all dressed up" I said with a smile.

"Ain't you going for training? So get your body up right now" Rachel said more like a command

I went to the bathroom took my shower didn't take much time. 

"I saw a demon yesterday" I said facing her and drying my hair.

"You kidding right" she laughed.

"It's killed a girl. I saw it all" I replied seriously.

"She might have gone to the dark room. No one is allowed to go there or only if you have a death wish" she said with a frown on her lips.

"I feel so bad for the poor girl. Maybe she's new I guess" she added with a sigh.

We left the room and when we got to the training hall everyone was prepared holding a sword.

I saw three people bring out the corpses of the dead girl . 

People don't seem surprised about it so I leave it be and went to the master and he handed me my sword.

"Listen everyone you will be paired with someone to fight. And with the sword you are holding, it will give you the strength and power you need so I have the list of people here who will be paired together."

"Rachael and max" Master called and they both stepped forward.

"Wilson and anna" 

"Destiny and lex" When Master said his name, my head snapped up so fast that I almost gave myself a whiplash.

When I heard I was pairing with lex, I felt happy and unhappy.

Rachel went forward to fight and she fight with deep strength but max still got through so she lost.

Its was my turn to lex walked in not even sparing me a glance like usual.

He started fighting he closed his eyes and fire started coming out from his sword. He opened his eyes and I saw it was all red I just stand there like an idiot and didn't even know what I was supposed to do

And right infort of me he transform into a deadly dragon.
