Chapter 8 - Who's the coward now

THE NEXT DAY 🌪️

Peony slept in Zidorah's room and she woke up not too long but she's still weak .

Same as Zidorah she's also weak as she kept vomiting blood throughout last night .

The sword cut is really poisonous, that is still has effect on her despite the fact that she got healed .

Well they both concluded that they won't be going to trainings today and they already submitted a letter to the preminent.

They are currently on their way to the ice cave for some check up and treatment

On their way, they met Maily and Birdie, they where heading to the training hall for part two student.

" Hello girls, how are you feeling" Birdie asked .

" Much better" they replied in unison.

" Ok that's nice to hear,now we have a great healer in our institute. where are you both heading too . Peony do you know that Annie is gay, well we found out yesterday, a trainee caught her with master puppy last night. Damn I can't wait to give you the full gist of how it happened, now we are heading for trainings and we don't want to be late to avoid trouble. I'll see you later, so we can be able to choose a matching outfit as usual for Sia's party. Maily said in a rush, joining all the things she had in her head together and peony chuckled.

Well Star, Maily and peony are very close ,

" You sure talk a lot" birdie said.

" Where's vamparina, ? " Zidorah's asked when she didn't see vamparina since they where supposed to be heading to trainings together

" Well she's not having training now, but she's working on her powers. She's a part three student", Maily quickly replied

" Ok then. " Zidorah said.

"Bye, see ya later" birdie said as she drag Maily with her .

Peony and Zidorah went to the Ice cave to get their antidote.

The place was a very big cave on its own filed with ice. The inside was literally ice and the ice never melt .no matter the weather.

There was a healer who was treating a wounded wolf boy who was in his wolf form

..

", Good day shanita the healer ,,"peony greeted as she sat down and Zidorah bowed slightly also before sitting.

Shanita is the goddess of health daughter. But she was casted down by the demi- gods from the DG realm.

So she has the ability to heal . She's a half goddess, and half mermaid and she also practice witch craft.

"Peony why would you try to heal her when you know she got a cut from Jason's sword, you could have died if the cut was more deeper. You know the sword has a dangerous mind on it's own .Shanita said.

She gave them some strength booster and they talked for some while before they left.

Peony went to her room to have some rest while Zidorah strolled around, checking everywhere out since peony haven't had the chance to show her around yet .

She was curious to see the top of the building, to see where it ended so she began going higher and higher, but still it didn't seem like she was getting to the end and her curiosity added . There where many rooms there with some signs and languages she couldn't understand.

She continued going higher and higher still not meeting the end and she became tired.

She was already in the fifty two story block when she decided to head back but she saw a particular door painted black with do not enter written on it . She was curious to know what was behind the door. Because that was the only door so far she saw they wrote on it with English.

What if it's dangerous, I don't think you should go there" Rel said when she was heading towards the door as if someone or something was drawing her into it. The spell quickly broke and she shook her head.

" I think you're right, I shouldn't go there, but it seems as if something is pulling me ." Zidorah.

She was about to start head back to her room when someone opened the black door .

The person came out checking if someone was watching and she saw Zidorah few inches away from the door and fear griped her .

" Who are you and what are you doing here" the lady asked Zidorah.

" I think I should be the one asking you what you're doing here. You where peeping Like a thief ". Zidorah said.

" Spoilt brat. Oh I recognize you as the famous girl who's gonna be dead tomorrow, so as long as you live, let no one knows we ever met here understood brat " . Sia said.

"You don't have the right to talk to me like that. I own my mouth, so i can tell who ever I want to tell " Zidorah said eying her suspiciously.

" Sia I need you to come home now. " A voice said in Sia's head and she speed past Zidorah going to meet her mom. It was her mom who called her attention through a connection.

" That was wired. I feel I should check what she was doing there " Zidorah said to Rel and before Rel could reply, she already opened the door and something like a needle at the door nob pierced a finger of hers and she winced in pain.

Her blood dropped on the floor and the door immediately opened by itself and she got in with a second thought not knowing her blood was trailing her movement.

There where many door inside the door she opened that she didn't know which one to open.

She stood by a particular one which seems as if it was calling out her soul. She tried to open the door but another needle pierced the same finger again and she cried out in pain.

" I think we should head back, I don't feel good" Rel said.

Her blood dropping on the door step but instead of it to open just like the first one, it didn't instead black smoke began to fill the whole place making it almost unclear for her to see .

" I told you it wasn't a good idea" Rel said and Zidorah began running down, not stopping as the black smoke followed her and her pace added.

She didn't stop running until she got to her room.breathing heavy like someone who ran a marathon. Well she kind of did .

Back at the prisoners yard( the black door where Zidorah just came from).

A being came out of the door which Zidorah tried to open but didn't. He had a vicious and victorious smile on his face as he bounced out .

" Finally a linage blood has set me free. Hiddenwood, would definitely feel my rath " the being said bursting into loud laughter before disappearing with the black smoke.

THE NEXT DAY 🌪️

It was Friday, a very happy, loud and busy Friday as everyone was preparing for the upcoming Wage war between Zidorah and Jason.

A coffin has already been made and Zidorah's name was already written on it. The things for the funeral has already been prepared so that once she's confirmed dead by shanita, she would become a blessed memory.

Most of the trainees have already gotten them selves a black outfit and flowers. After that , they got their party wears for Sia's birthday party which was tomorrow, so everyone was busy with one thing or the other.

Ever since Zidorah came back from the prisoners yard, she hasn't stepped foot outside her room she was just reading the big book which the preminent gave her and she didn't get bored of it as she learned new things, but she was feeling weak .

She heard a knock on her door but didn't answer.

"It's peony" peony said from the door

Zidorah went to open the door and peony came in. She was looking very strong and healthy.

"Aren't you ready for the wage war, it's starting soon"peony said...

"And who said am going" Zidorah replied not getting her eyes of the book she was reading. And peony open her mouth in amusement.

" What do you mean. I thought you said you wanted to teach him a lesson, this is the time" peony said.

" Well am here to get trained not to die. First of all I didn't agree for this nonsense to happen, he was the one who declared it so I think he should fight himself cos is supposed to be an agreement from each party but since they didn't ask for my opinion, am doing what I want to do" Zidorah said and peony chuckled.

" So you're really good at talking but don't have the strength" peony said

" Think whatever you want to, it's not my business Zidorah said and peony laughed.

.

.

.

It was already time for the wage war or death sentence as some people call it . It was going to be done outside at the training ground almost all the trainee where waiting. some where with Zidorah's picture with RIP on it , gone so soon or quick exit on it while some where with Jason's picture, praising him

Jason was seating somewhere with surprisingly , a calm expression on his face waiting for Zidorah to come but she didn't.

They went to her room to knock but she didn't open neither did she answer.

They entered her room but she wasn't there. They also checked poeny's room but they where still not there.

They where actually in Bluey's room and she casted a spell in her premises that no one would sense Zidorah's present there. Bluey is Zidorah's best friend from knowledge high who got missing all of a sudden. She disappeared with no trace back then . She's actually a witch . She left the human world when her mother died and her father brought her to hiddenwood wood to master her powers and spell.

They are all currently talking and laughing.

Meanwhile at the wage war they couldn't find Zidorah for the wage war so they had to cancel it and all the trainee went to their various rooms disappointed .

Jason immediately barged into bluey room . He actually knew she was there but he wanted her to come out by herself and face death, but she didn't. She's not as brave as he thought after all. He could have dragged her and beat her to death but he didn't cos Connery talked some sense into him when he found him wiping himself last night.

.

" this is where you are hiding little brat. So who's the bragging coward now. You talk with so much ego and pride, but you have nothing to show for it " Jason said with a smirk.

" Silence is a best answer to a fool like you and only the feeble show off" Zidorah said..

"Don't try to cover your fear with some stupid words. You should better keep running and hiding like a weakling that you're " Jason said and dashed out.

By now the whole institute where filled with Zidorah's image and coward was written on it .

" Gosh I just hate him" Zidorah said immediately Jason left .

" Well I heard he used to be a sweet, cheerful and humble prince but something changed him" Bluey said

" And what changed him" peony asked.

" Don't tell anyone this please, I don't wanna be in trouble. I heard that his mate rejected him" bluey said and their mouth formed an O in shock.
