The Aftermath of an Overturned Hell Part 1

Before the trip

As deacon is told that he's being sent to a school he looks back at everything, it's only been a couple days and he's already being told to do things and being pushed around. He thinks back to his family, missing them, as this world may be wondrous it's also scary, there are monsters and people who seem like they can do whatever they want. As he lays in bed he wonders about what could happen, will it be a magic school? Would it be a school that would teach him how to fight and use weapons? A military school? As he thinks about this a maid opens up his door pulling a cart, "Master Deacon we have brought your school uniform along with other clothing items that you may like" She notified him, "Since we got your numbers Master Braxton decided to arrange you some clothing. As deacon looked at the trays of outfits there had to be at least 20 different outfits. "We shall be on our way if you could please change into your school uniform.". "Which one? Cause there's plenty of clothes here." He replied with sass, being fed up with everything. "I don't even know why I'm agreeing to all this, I just want to go home." He says as he covers himself in the blanket. Deacon hears heavy footsteps walk through the room as a voice, "The hell are you doing, you're soon enough gonna be going to one of the best schools in hell and you're sitting here moping abo-" as Erica Equinox pulls the covers off deacon she sees the tears she covers him with the blanket again, then waves the maids to go outside the room. As the door clicks he feels the warmth of an arm pull him to the side of the bed as he's hugged. "Hey, I don't know what's going on, but I'm here to talk if you need to," she says holding him while he's covered in the blanket. As he sniffles and shakes he holds onto her and sobs. "I don't understand why I'm here and I don't know why this is happening to me so quickly, I see a dead body and monsters and within a month's time i'm being shipped to a school in a place I've never been" Deacon says through the sniffles. "Well trust me you're in good hands now, i personally came here to escort you to your new place, but that can wait for now until you're ready." Erica says in a soft voice, "Trust me were trying to figure out how to get you home as we speak, ill make sure you're safe, it's gonna be okay," she comforts him as she pets his head through the blanket. They stay there for a few more minutes until deacon takes the covers off, eyes red and face slightly wet from the tears. "Thank you, i.. I think ill get ready to go now, thank you.. I'll have to talk in a bit miss Erica." he says while still holding on to her, "Alright, well you're gonna have to let me go first." She tells him as she smiles at him as she gives him one last hug, she gets up and informs him "ill be waiting for you outside, this is your uniform ny the way." she points at the outfit as she walks out of the room, closing the door behind her. "Well, time to get ready, I guess." he thinks to himself as he gets up from bed.
