★★★
“Many years ago, shang chi supernatural academy was created by three gods that were best friend but along the line, the other two betrayed shang chi because they wanted more power and because of jealousy. So they left to create their own academy where they train demons for evil things.”, Ruby said to Harley who just stared at her more curious about the story.
“So there is another academy where supernatural beings are being trained?”, She asked and ruby nodded.
“You can’t really call them that, we call them demons.”, Ruby replied.
“To be honest, this place is quite a horrible place to stay especially with someone as heartless as lord Cyrus but so far you don’t mess with him, then you are safe. So far you are under this academy, you are safe because we have a very powerful protector.”, Ruby said and Harley curiosity only grew.
“Who is it?”
“Lord Cyrus.”, She replied
“Who is he?”, She asked.
“He’s the grandson of shang chi and he is the superior here though he has subordinates too and trust me, he isn’t someone you can mess with, so just stay away if you want to survive.”, Ruby warned.
“You are talking too much, what if she is a spy?”, Emily asked as she stood up from and left the room.
Ruby looked at Harley and Harley decided to read her mind.
“Don’t worry, I am not a spy.”, Harley said.
***
Ruby and Harley continued to talk and Harley found comfortable with ruby even though she’s nosy but she’s still makes Harley feel safe and Harley liked it.
“Who is your trainer?”, Ruby asked as they head towards the big hall for their training.
“Hmm Ember”, Harley replied and ruby just hissed.
“You are so unlucky, make sure you don’t cause trouble or fight with her.”, She said and this time Harley didn’t want to ask questions, she just read Ruby’s mind.
“So she is lord Cyrus girlfriend”, Harley thought and they hurriedly moved to the hall.
Harley and ruby were so lucky that they didn’t get there late, any late comer will be severely punished regardless of wh@ťěver had delayed you.
“Hey Harley!”, Liam said waving.
“Liam.”, She called happily seeing him.
“You know him?”, Ruby asked and Harley nodded.
“I met him on my way to the dormitory.”, She added and ruby nodded.
“How come I haven’t seen you before? Anyways I am Ruby.”, Ruby said stretching her hand.
“Liam.”, He replied with a shy smile as he accepted her handshake.
They were still talking when the huge bell was rung announcing the presence of the superiors.
Their arrival alone made everyone so calm and silent.
Harley stared at each of them but one person got all her attention.
He was looking very different from everyone, he was looking very cold and his hair colour was weird …. WHITE!!!
He had a white hair and he looked so … Stunning, Harley didn’t understand why her eyes were just glued on him the whole time, she didn’t even listen to anything they said.
“Is he lord Cyrus? He is so handsome.”, She said to Ruby and before ruby could ask Harley to shut her mouth, she was spotted.
Hey you dumbass! Come out here!”, One of the superior yelled looking directly at Harley.
“Are you deaf?”, Another yelled and Harley just looked around confused.
She wondered if they were talking to her but seeing everyone stared at her made her realize that she was the one they were referring to.
She reluntanly went to them and she was ordered to kneel and lower her gaze.
Before Harley could think of what was going to happen to her, she suddenly felt a sharp pain on her face and she gasped in disbelief.
Why was she being slapped? She wasn’t even told what she had done wrong.
“How dare you talk when one of the superior was talking? That level of disrespect and disregard!”, Ember spat.
“Please dear superiors, she is new here and this is her first day here. Please consider that and she promise not to repeat it again.”, Ruby said as she went on her knees and Liam joined.
“Who asked the both of you to meddle? You are in no position to say a word.”, Ember yelled at them.
“She should be punished for being disrespectful.”, Ember said like an order and Alex scoffed.
Alex is lord Cyrus bodyguard and right hand man and he has a special hatred for ember since day one.
They both don’t get along and Cyrus is well aware of that.
“Why don’t we let lord Cyrus decide? You also don’t have any right to pass out any judgement.”, Alex spoke up and ember glared at him.
Harley looked at Cyrus and she caught him staring at her and his eyes also didn’t leave her.
She tried reading his mind but it was impossible and she wondered what happened.
“What were you talking about that was so important for you to ignore what your superior was talking about?”, He asked with a very cold voice.
Harley just kept mute, she couldn’t possibly tell him that she was busy staring at him and drooling over him.
“Consider yourself dead if I repeat for the second time.”, He said visibly angry and Harley gulped down.
She couldn’t hide the fact that she was scared of his thr_@t.
“Is he really going to ki|| me?”, she thought.
A sudden grip on her hair jerked her from a thought.
“Why are you refusing to talk?”, He asked as he pulled out her hair angrily and Harley groaned in pain.
“I’m sorry lord Cyrus.”, She said trying to sound firm, she didn’t want to cry out in pain in front of hundreds of people.
“Lord Cyrus please consider the fact that she is new here, I am sure that she doesn’t know the rules yet.”, Alex said and ember rolled her eyes.
“Rules are rules alex.”, Ember said.
“Whip her 20.”, He said icily and Harley shivered.
20? She hasn’t even been beating before in her life, how will she survive 20.
Ember smiled victorious at Alex.
Two guards lifted her up, one holding her hands and the other her legs and the whipping started.
Harley tried her best not to cry out, she would rather die than for her to cry out.
Alex hatred for ember only increased as whipping continued.
He h@ťěd the fact that most of the time, lord Cyrus ends up listening to ember.
Harley took her a glance at Cyrus and she saw nothing but just coldness, he wasn’t even feeling for her.
“Let’s go back to the announcement.”, Cyrus said as Harley headed back to her position.
“I h@ťě this place, I will have to leave here. I don’t know how but I must leave this place.”, Harley thought as she struggled to force herself to walk.
Ruby and Liam rushed to assist her and everyone continued like nothing happened.
“Was I expecting him to save me or what? I must be so stupid.”, Harley thought as she looked at Cyrus who didn’t even stare her a glance.
★★★
So what do you think about Ember, Alex and Cyrus attitude?
Don’t you think Harley plan to escape will only make things worse?
