Chapter 40

Nash's P.O.V

I am already nervous.

Why does Kitana want to see me? After what I had done, I don't think they're ever going to give me a warm welcome. Riana looked nervous as well, she was holding Kurt close to her chest. Riana and I exchanged glances before we made our way to the Edenian palace. A female guard stopped us.

"We're here to see Princess Kitana and General Jade," said Riana who passed the guard the written note.

She glared at me, then at my sister before reading the note. She then escorted us without saying a word. From the walk, I heard whisperings and some ladies pointing fingers at me.

All of them had disgusted looks on their faces.

I really screwed up! I just hope Jade and Kitana could forgive me for all of this and I could redeem myself. But from all of this and Takeda beating me up, the chances are pretty slim for forgiveness.

Jade was waiting outside and motioned for me to go inside. She prevented Riana from following me. Now I am scared!!

Kitana was sitting on the Edenian throne with her mother Queen Sindel by her side. Both of them gazed down at me with full disgust but then again, I couldn't really tell because I'm too busy being nervous. Sindel left to leave me to face the music which is Kitana!

"You came," said Kitana as she stepped down to see me. "Do you know why I asked you and your sister to come here?"

I shook my head.

"Jade and I had gathered some information about Shao Kahn's intention. He wasn't my true father after all these years. One of my guards went to investigate Shang Tsung's lab and have found out that not only you have been having sex with Mileena but training her too. "

I could tell she was pissed.

"Do you think I even said yes?" I countered. "I had no choice or else Shang Tsung would kill me. I don't even have the skills yet."

"Nash," Kitana sighed and placed both her hands on my face to look at her. "Jade and I will never forgive you. But we will help you and your friends get back home if it means going against Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung."

That's a stab to my heart.

But there's no room for grieve now as Shao Kahn's army is growing. So I accepted the offer and we both shook hands on it. We decided to use the time to plan out what to do and I even told her of the Disciples meeting.

"Erron Black, Reptile and Ermac were with you?" Kitana stared at me in disbelief. "You do know they're all of Shao Kahn's lackeys except the mercenary."

"I know!" I exclaimed. "Don't look at me but it was Kristina and Riana who brought them to the meeting. They said those three might go against Shang Tsung and Shao Kahn."

"I have interrogated Reptile before," Kitana slowly nodded. "He mentioned he does care for your sister. I'm shocked, disgusted but felt sorry for him. Last of his kind and blindly serving under a false promise until all of you arrived."

"But?"

"But that doesn't relieve him of his crimes of betrayal. Now one of my guards said that he's serving a new master I assumed?"

So I told her about Riana's new boss at her little workplace. Kitana arched a brow, taking in my story. "Nash, call Jade and your sister in here."

Before I could, Jade had already entered with Riana and Kurt. Riana gave me that look which told me that Jade knew as well. She must've spoken to her while I was in here with Kitana. Jade eyed me carefully, with those hurtful yet angry brown eyes.
