Chapter 5 Darkness Descends

What's going on? Why are you both holding my hand? Did I mention that I can't walk?

Just because I'm wearing a mask doesn't mean I can't see. Can you let go of my hand?

"I'm uncomfortable," Muna said.

"But ignore her. I understand that you're both trying to help me, but can you let go of my hand? I appreciate your help," Muna said, trying to free herself from their grip.

"She said you should let go of her hand," Jadon said.

"You too," Muna said.

"Stop treating me this way. I despise the little witch," Jadon said, mind-linking Muna.

Muna looked at him angrily; she was the only one who heard that.

Blue and Jadon released her hand when they saw Mr. James walking in.

"Mr. James, look at everything that has been disorganized," Muna said.

He shook his head before he started talking.

"Who did all this?" Mr. James asked.

All the students kept quiet; they dared not say anything about Sienna if they valued their lives.

"The new students-both of them were fighting, which led to all of this," Sienna said, looking at both Muna and Luna.

"I didn't do anything," Muna shouted.

"I'm not lying, master; everyone can testify to it," Sienna said.

Luna kept quiet, looking at everyone. She knew they wouldn't talk since they feared her.

"Quiet!" Mr. James shouted at Muna, who kept talking nonstop.

"What is the punishment for breaking things and fighting in school?" Mr. James asked the other students.

"Going to the bush to practice and clean the whole school," one of the students said.

"Good! All of you should return to your rooms except Blue, Jadon, and the two new girls," Mr. James said.

Sienna smirked before walking out with the others.

"You guys should start your punishment without complaining," Mr. James said.

"It's late. Are you planning to kill us? How do you expect us to go to that place at this time?" Muna asked angrily.

"Like I said earlier, go and do your work without complaining, and don't speak like that in front of me. You lack manners, and did I tell you to enjoy yourself there? That's why it's called punishment: no breakfast or dinner for you tomorrow. Take that as punishment for not keeping your mouth shut," Mr. James said, walking out.

"This is not fair," Muna said.

Luna, Jadon, and Blue walked out and headed towards the bush.

Muna ran after them. "Why does this place feel like it's filled with evil powers?" Jadon said.

As they entered the bush, different strange sounds could be heard.

Muna held Luna's hand when she couldn't bear it anymore, but Luna withdrew her hand immediately.

"You're mean," Muna said and moved away from her.

The four of them entered the bush at the same time and went to different sides.

They all sat down on the ground with their eyes closed, trying to control their powers with their minds.

"I don't have anything to do here," Muna said and started walking deeper into the bush.

As she walked deeper, she stepped on something that cut her.

"Ouch!" Muna said, looking at her leg. She noticed that blood was coming out. She sat down on the ground, trying to stop the bleeding by covering the wound with her hand.

Devira Mansion

Joanna, Jennie, and Moana were sitting in the seating room with their swords; they were known as the most powerful demons, also referred to as witches.

Their only aim is to enter the world and take over by controlling human beings. The only thing stopping them from achieving their aims was the spell that had been cast around their place, which was blocking them from going into the world.

They are very dangerous because they have many powers and make use of illusions to control people. All the students of Star-Demon know about this, except Luna and Muna.

No one must go closer to their place; there is no way the person can survive.

"Blood," Jennie said, licking her lips.

"Yes, I can also smell that," Joanna said.

"That means someone is near," Jennie said again.

The three of them stood up. "It's been a while. We have a visitor," Moana said and teleported away.

Jennie and Jessica also followed her.

"I should go back," Muna said, trying to stand up.

"Where is this smell coming from?" Muna said, raising her head.

"Who are you?" Muna said, looking at the three figures in front of her.

"You don't know us, or you are pretending not to?" Jessica asked.

"It's not possible; everyone knows who we are. How come you don't?" Jennie said.

"You are talking too much," Moana said and flipped her hair as she moved closer to Muna.

Her long nails came out, and out of fear, Muna started moving back.

"You can't escape; you came here yourself; there is no turning back," Jennie said and grabbed Muna by her hair.

Luna winced in pain, avoiding making eye contact with them.

Blue opened his eyes. "They are here," he said with his eyes widened.

"How did they come out?" Jadon asked.

"I don't know. I thought Master said they were prevented from coming out," Blue said.

"Where is Muna?" Jadon asked, looking around.

"Did she follow us?" Blue asked.

"How can you ask such questions? Did you not see her beside you some minutes ago?" Luna asked.

"She is in danger," Blue said, standing up.

"How do you know that?" Luna asked.

"I don't understand as well; that is not important right now," Blue said.

"But how do we know the direction she takes? How do we know the exact place she is right now?

"You know this bush has different sides; we can just decide to take any side without knowing where she is," Luna said.

"I can hear her voice from that side," Blue said, pointing at their front.

"Lady first," Jadon said to Luna.

"Why should I lead the way? Lady first."

"You are unbelievable," Luna said.

"You guys should follow me, Blue," and lead the way.

Jessica was about to plunge her nails into Muna's neck when she felt a shock.

"What moved her away from Muna? What happened?" Jennie asked.

"I don't know. How is this possible? Why did I feel like her power was beyond our own?" Jessica said.

"You are spreading nonsense. That's not possible," Jennie said and moved closer to Muna, who had been crying.

As she was about to lay her hand on hers, Blue used his power to hurt her.

Jessica raised her head in anger. The anger on her face turned to a smile when she saw Blue.

"Don't make eye contact with them. Avoid their nails; they must not scratch you," Blue said to Luna and Jadon.

"We meet again," Jennie said to Blue.

"Don't tell me you came here because of this," Moana said, pointing at Muna.

"And who is she? I have never seen her among the Star Demon students."

"I guess you don't tell her the repercussions of coming here."

"What did she mean?" Luna asked.

"None of you will go out alive. I spared your life once, but not today."

"No one will be able to save you," Moana said and made a barrier to block them from escaping.

Luna and Muna made eye contact for the second time, and the sky became dark.

"No one will survive," Muna said with a devilish smile.

To be continued.
