CHAPTER 9: LET HIM BE

"Did you notice how he looked at me?" Jane asked Sarah with a scared look on her face as they both got out the Union's building,

"who, Skull?" Sarah asked but the look on her face showed that she was also worried about something else.

"Yeah him" Jane said as they got into the car,

"what do you mean, how was he looking at you?" Sarah asked as she started the car but looked at Jane briefly before,

"I don't know how to say it, but it was really scary, the look in his eyes got me shook" Jane said as the scared look on her face was still there.

"Well that's just Skull, I wouldn't put much on it, that's just how he usually looks, don't let him get into your head" Sarah replied,

"I don't know aunt but what if you were right on that stuff about him compelling me, I mean what if he tried and it didn't work" Jane then said again a little shook.

"Well that's not even possible, it's either he compelled you or not, and from the look of things, it seems like he didn't because you were still able to remember what happened" Sarah replied her, Jane then sat down quietly and was looking through the car glass, she looked to be deep in thought as she was thinking about what Sarah just said.

"How about that other stuff about him coming after me if he found out I told you about what had happened, because it looked to me like he was pissed off" Jane then said,

"look Jane I have nothing much to say okay, what I can tell you is that if he comes after you, I'm going to protect you but then aside that I don't even think Skull is going to come after you because you're important to Rick" Sarah said as she took a deep breath and then continued.

"I understand where you're coming from alright, but there's nothing to be scared of, and if you turn out to be right and he was looking at you the way he did because of some reason then it could probably be that he compelled you and it didn't work and that would be a first, it would mean you're also a special human being and I'm not going to rule out that fact because you really are special" she said,

"thanks aunt" Jane said with a slight smile on her face before she went back to thinking about the whole scene.

"Alright new boy, welcome to the training ground, this is where you are going to get first black and blue beating, that is if you have never been beaten before" Alex said,

"well thanks, but just like I said earlier I have been beaten multiple times before, I wasn't such a tough kid in School eh" Rick said,

"hold on, you got beaten by a bunch of humans and you weren't able to do anything about that, and you call yourself the chosen one, haha" Alex said and then started laughing.

Everybody there stood and looked at Alex while he was laughing,

"what the hell is wrong with you man, stop laughing at the kid" Walt said arrogantly as he looked pissed off by Alex's attitude,

"or what are you going to do about it huh?" Alex then asked as he stopped laughing.

There was a tense air around the place as it now looked like a fight was about to break out,

"look man it's alright, like I said I've dealt with this kind of stuff all my life, and just like I said before I didn't know I had this power, not until yesterday so I don't think there's any point in us fighting each other over this okay, can we just train please, I'm the one who needs it the most" Rick said as he then walked away from them looking pissed, Alex and Walt we're still looking at each other angrily as if they were ready to fight it off, Megan stood there looking at Rick while Abiola did the same as he did and walked to the side waiting for everything to cool down.

**********************

"Nemesis" a bass voice said, it had a scary tone to it, the one with the voice was kneeling on one knee with his head bent down as he was showing respect to Nemesis who was sitting on what seemed to be a throne, Nemesis who is the Demon King didn't even look like a demon, he looked like a regular human with long thick black hair but he also had red flaming eyes, he was also putting on a black robe.

While the man kneeling on the other hand looked more of a demon, aside from the fact that he had red skin with short horns and also a tail, everything else about him also looked normal.

The entire place didn't look like it was an ordinary place on earth, everything about it seemed evil, the lighting was dark red, and there were embers of fire flying all around the air as well, the olace they were in also looked more like a cave with no roofing as stuff like black looking dragons could be seen flying up above.

"What is it Vermithor, what brings you here?" Nemesis asked, his voice sounded so light not what anyone would expect of a demons voice.

"The Chosen One, they've found him" Vermithor said,

"get up" Nemesis then said to him, and he then stood on his feet.

"And who is this Chosen One?" Nemesis asked with a curious look on his face,

"He's the kid of Sarah Reyes" Vermithor answered,

"I knew it" Nemesis said as he hit his throne with his right hand out of frustration,

"I knew it, all this while the kid was right there, and we didn't even do anything about it" he then said again,

"what do you want them to do with him, should they kill him?" Vermithor asked.

"No you idiot, it's already too late for that, by now he must have already known he has powers and he probably already knows how to use them, at this point he can only be beaten not killed, at least not for now, let him be but at least it's good that we know he's around at least we now know what we're dealing with, make sure to let the others know" Nemesis said,

"alright" Vermithor said and then suddenly a hexagram with fire appeared underneath him and then it dragged him into the floor and just like that he disappeared, and so did the hexagram.
