The Disciples

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The both of us followed Kitana silently, not daring to speak up. I have a feeling it's about meeting Shang Tsung in secret in order to train Mileena. Did she tell her twin about that? Or the fact my sister's involve so we'll both get punished for this!

Without a word, she instructed us to sit down on the floor while she stood on the opposite side along with Jade. God, she looks beautiful.

"The both of you are aware with the reason we called you?" Jade asked. Riana looked at her and nodded slowly. She then stared down at her hands, twiddling her fingers together every time there's tension in the room. Kurt suddenly climbed out of my sister's top, scurrying away from the room. He didn't even look back at Riana, who stared at her pet's departure in confusion.

"He'll come back," Kitana told her. "Now, tell us in detail what the both of you know. We can detect a lie from either of you. Let's start with you, my disciple."

I gulped. The way she said 'disciple' never sounded so menacing. Hesitantly, I told the princess about Shang Tsung's secret letter to recruit me to train Mileena because I have experience with a sibling, sincee Mileena technically has Kitana's gene so that makes her sister. Then I explained to them about our training, every battle we had in the Flesh pits and so on.

I'd rather not talk about that little fling Mileena and I had at the tournament. That's not going to end well with me. Then again I mentioned who was present with me at that time: Shang Tsung, Mileena, Reptile and finally my sister.

"Hold on," Kitana stopped me. "Riana was with you?"

"I was with him," Riana nodded. "Because Nash can't confide the secret for long so he needs at least someone who could not breathe the words. Since the both of us live here for now, I see no reason to accompany him."

"If Nash is training Mileena," Jade eyed me carefully, I bet she's disgusted behind her mask. "What were you doing at the Flesh Pits, Riana?"

"Watching from the sidelines," she replied coolly. "And of course keeping an eye out in case my brother becomes Tarkatan food."

"Riana!"

"Silence," Kitana silenced me from speaking further. All I could do was listen and only talk when she asked me a question. I waited for my mentor's next decision. Finally, she said: "Riana, you are dismissed. Nash, we'd like to speak to you. Alone."

Oh fuck.

Riana stood up, not long before patting me on the shoulder. "I'll pray for you, little bro," she whispered. That's not going to help!

Once my sister has left, I averted my eyes away from both the Edenian ladies. I'm pretty sure I'm screwed. But I decided not to back down, hoping I might gain something from this talk.

"I will speak to Shang Tsung about his errand with you in private," my mentor finally sighed. "But before I dismissed you and give you your punishment, I'd like to clarify something. Did you have sex with my bodyguard?"

"WHAT?!" I yelled out of shock. But Kitana again, silenced me.

"You're already in hot waters, Nash. I suggest you shut up before I changed my mind in terms of your punishment. Now, did you have sex with Jade?"

I looked at Jade, who had an unreadable expression in her eyes. She told Kitana or did Kitana know ever since we had that hell of a night?

"...Yes," I finally answered. God this is so embarrassing! What's going to happen to me now? Will I die here?
