Beyond His Evil

Eleven

Kira's pov
~~~

Kate had left early this morning for training, and all I had planned to do today was to hide in my room, but Evelyn came around a few minutes after she had brought me breakfast (to save me the humiliation I was without a doubt going to receive if I walked into the cafeteria), and said the seer and general wanted to see me.

Who was I to refuse?

I drew in a deep breath as I counted my steps.

Evelyn turned her face in my direction. "Are you okay ? ", she inquired.

No.

" Yes ", I mumbled, the most insincere smile gracing my lips.

I knew she didn't buy my answer, but didn't push which I was thankful for.

I continued counting my steps.
56...
57 ...

Luckily, the hallway was empty. Everyone had training which I was grateful for, I didn't need more murmurs or whispers, or their judging fingers aimed at me. It was a relief, the only thing I had to worry about now was meeting the seer and general.

My gaze dropped to my moving feet.
68...
69...

Did they want to send me away?
At least I could find my mother if I wasn't killed before I succeeded.

Evelyn stopped in front of a large wooden door and flashed me a warm smile, "Good luck, I'll see you later ", she said.

I stared at the door, at her, back at the door, back at her. "You're not going to be with me". It was more of a realization than a question.

"I have training Kira", she informed me. "And I need to get going, I'm already late".

My lips formed a thin line as I nodded. As unbearably caring as she was, her presence would make whatever was going to happen behind the door less frightening.
"Okay, thank you", I said and she left.

I blew my cheeks out and turned the knob, there was no point knocking if they were aware I was coming. I barely got the door open when I heard a man's deep voice. One I didn't recognize.

"That girl is worthless !", he thundered. "I'm doing her a massive favor by putting her with the humans ", he spat.

After hearing those words multiple times after my incident at the introduction hall, I thought I was immune to the familiar sting, but I wasn't, and it hurt to feel my eyes misting with tears.

He scoffed, "A hunter without powers! What? ", A pause, " She's a fucking joke ! She shouldn't even be in safe land with her curse ".

The first trail of tears made its way down my cheeks, and I tried my best to wipe it off immediately.

" How can ... "

" Don't ", A familiar masculine voice cut him off, " That's enough!".

Devon?
Evelyn didn't say he would be in attendance.
My heartbeat accelerated strangely.

The man gave a short mocking laugh. " Is she your new whore demon boy?".

No response.

Another mocking laughter. "You should do better, who knows? Her pussy might suck out your powers when you have her".

I was both repulsed, and angry, but mostly repulsed. I heard a growl that was loud enough to cause serious hearing issues.

The next words Devon spoke were dripped with warning, and a hint of promise." Shut up, or I'll shut you up forever. Maybe it's time I remind you how easily it is to break your ribs".
