Ch. 4 Saved

CW: Implied / Mention of Kidnapping, Torture and Death

◇◇◇

It had been your fourth week now since you officially started training with Nezha and he was in a panic he couldn't find you.

When you did not show up at the time he had set for you he thought nothing of it. We all have days where we either sleep in or get caught up with other things. He was fully willing to wait on you if you weren't ready to start the session, but when he found you not at you home that's when the search and soon enough the initial panic started. He was always prepared and calm and collected, but not in this situation he was not ready for this, he was not ready for you to be missing so soon. He did his best to keep you a secret, to keep you hidden from his enemies, but he remembered something you had told him two weeks ago.....

-

.... The second week you were just meditating with Nezha but you werre having issues with relaxing worrying about something he did not understand yet... "You worried about something Lotus... I can sense it." He said in a calm voice trying to understand why you are so paniced "O-oh I.. umm... well it is hard to explain but..." You opened your eyes to look at him, to be met by his gaze that held what could be best described as concern since you were fine the week before. You took a second to start talking again "It's just... I have this... friend.. his name is Jhu Yuze, he has not been seen anywhere for the past week.. He has not been seen in the market, his mother said he has not been in the house and assumed he was with me for a week. I just... I'm worried about him.. I'm scared something may have happened to him.." You said expressing your concern and worry more physically now through your body language. Nezha seemed to understand why your so tense now, if your worry is this bad for your friend then he must be important to you. Nezha vaguely remembers what he looks like back when he found you in the market place but with what he does remember he should still be able to help find your friend "I can help you if you want me to. This friend of yours seems important." He told you reassuringly.

Your eyes light up, Nezha felt a good portion of your worry wash away like a wave "Really..?" You asked double checking if he was really willing to help you. Nezha simply nodded in a way of saying 'yes'. You smiled in a soft relaxed manor before he had said "Ten more minutes then we shall call it a day. Alright?" You nodded in agreement as he started his meditation again, it took you a few seconds you process the conversation but eventually you started to meditate. Doing better than last time and getting through the ten minutes without any more distractions.

-

"...Oh dear.... They wouldn't." Nezha said to themselves. He had found your friend Yuze two days ago however there was one problem, he was in the clutches of a very powerful demon. One he would have to prepare for before retrieving Yuze but if you were now in this creature possession... then he would be left with no choice but to go in unprepared. Though he would have to be very careful.

"I swear... If that child is there..." The diety said in a serous panicky sort of way as he rushed to this demon lair.

-

You could not believe this. Not only was Yuze in this place just sitting in the dungeon you had been taken by this demon minions and taken to the dungeon where you had seen your friend. It was silent... very silent... almost too silent...

"So..." Yuze broke the silence you both shared trying to make light conversation but failing miserably he didn't know what to do while he was somewhat calm you were panicking you don't know how this happened, yu were just walking to you sesson with Nezha.

Only then did the dungeon doors open up revealing your kidnapper he chuckled darkly as he said "You ready to be my dinner? No? Well it doesn't matter now."

The demon's minions was about to drag you and Yuze away before you thought quickly to distract him "Y-You know... if you kill me or by brother then you'd be commiting and act again a whole kingdom." You said without thinking, just then Nezha gets to the window, relieved there's still time now he just had to think quickly on how to get the both of you out safely "What?" The demon ask confused "but... you do not look royal... or related." Th demon said "U-uhh..." You were at a standstill until you spotted The Third Lotus Prince focusing on how to get you both out but giving you a look that says 'by me time'. "That is because we have different mothers! He's older than me and his mother passed giving birth to him." You said the only logical reason for you to no looking like siblings.

Thankfully Yuze caught on what your doing and helped you out "Yeah. They're telling the truth, same father different mother. S-so if you want to kill us then you will just cause yourself trouble for yourself." He stated backing you up but th demon does not believe you and asked for the name of your 'kingdom' which made you have an 'oh no'moment not thinking this far and started to panic but you did not let it show and stayed calm Yuze was the opposite not knowing what to do and the panic was visible, you two gave each eachother a side glance before you spoke again "Th-the kingdom ooofff...." you said looking around looking for something to use as a diversion before you said the name think of Yuze sister, Ming Yue's favorite flower "Lillies." You said putting on a brave face to not show weakness.

The demon and you just looked at eachother before ye spoke "Very well... o will see if this 'Kingdom of Lillies' exist and it does not... then I will make sure you torture inevitable demise will be slow and painful." He said as he left you exhaled in relief, you look back at the window to fine Nezha no longer there.

It only took a few minutes before Nezha forced his way through, leaving a few of his minions as good as dead. He rushed to you to untie you and then made his way to get the chains off of Yuze. "We will not have time to rush our way through this place. Nor with out the foul creature catching and attacking us." He said firmly "So... how are we going to get out?" You said your panic begins to slightly show as he finished getting the chains off of Yuze "Simple. We go through the window. It is big enough."

Before you or Yuze could respond his spear turned in to a bunch of lotus flower petals, they soon went sharp and smashed the window. Nezha before you could process what happened he grabbed you and flew out just as more of the demons minions came in, including the demon himself.

-

Nezha flew Yuze close to his house and he walked away saying bye to you. He then dropped you off at your house. You offered him to enter which he took, it was silent until you asked "How did you... know I was in trouble?" You asked looking at him "You never showed for your training, remember I said I would give you a ten minute waiting period before I came to collect you myself, when I couldn't find you I thought of what you'd most likely do. So..." He went close to you "Am I correct in assuming you went out to find your friend on your own?" You did not answear as you knew he was right you had gone out to look for him.

You lack of a response told the celestial prince all he needed to know, Nezha as he lifted his hand and placed it on your scalp and said while ruffling your hair "I admire you bravery Lotus Blossom and I am proud of your quick thinking. However, I would have helped you if you wanted to look for your friend. He seems important to you." He told you as he let go of your hair "We will not train today... So you can recover from what has happened today." He said as he started to walk towarded the door "I'll see you next week Y/n.." Nezha said before you left leaving you alone in your home.

You sighed as you got ready to turn in for the day, for the night you found it difficult to sleep due to what happened... unable to process it fully.
