Knights of Hell

Chapter 6.5

What made this worse was, Yua showed up. In front of my door, in his demon form. Azure behind him, also in demon form.

Oh, this was not going to end well. When they walked into class, everyone stopped to watch them. No one moved except Sean who screamed, it sounded like a girl.

The teacher urged the class to stand on the opposite side of the wall, everyone moved but they were all so intrigued by them.

“Okay, I know this looks bad, but we won’t hurt you. I swear,” Cedar said, he had put his hands up as he spoke to the class.

However, Azure was frozen. He has his eyes on Kai.

Speaking of Kai, he began the incantation however, Feather popped up behind him and grabbed him by the mouth. Cedar then took away Kai's voice. Then he tied his hands and legs and sat him down on a chair.

Oh, this was bad. This was so bad. So everyone was here, all the knights and the two sins. Lust had locked the door and everyone was absolutely shitting it.

"Holy f**k, that boy is hot," a girl said. It was Michelle and Lust seemed to have noticed because he grinned and began walking in her direction.

"Hello-"

"Illegal," Feather deadpanned.

"Goodbye," Lust said, turning and walking away from her.

However, we four were just sitting at the back.

"What the f**k?!" I yelled at them.

"This is our f*****g school. Are you idiots stupid? Do you want to f*****g die?!" Mercy yelled at them. She stormed over and sized up every single one of them. I even saw some of our classmates flinch.

“Mercy!” Angelica whispered-yelled. “They’ll kill you. Move away from them.”

“They won’t,” she said, brushing her off.

“So, what are you all doing here?” I asked, standing up and walking over to them.

“Mint!” Angelica yelled.

“It’s fine, Angelica,” I said looking back at her. “They won’t hurt us.”

"So, can I kill them?" Feather asked as he eyed the students. He played with the blood of one of them and she let out a noise.

“Except him,” I said glaring at Feather. I smacked his arm and he let go of the girl.

"No, you can’t kill any of our classmates. Are you f*****g dumb?" Xavier deadpanned.

"Why are you idiots here?" I asked, eyeing them all. "And, why are you not in human form. I swear if this is some ridiculous game

of yours."

"We tracked a Sin here," Cedar said as he smiled at us. "Hi, kids. How was school?"

"You what?!" Mercy yelled. "Why didn't you start with that then! And Cedar, don't you start."

"Sloth?" Mercy said, Sloth eyed her.

"Hmm, what's up?"

"Remember Lavender?"

"Yeah? Oh, my Dad, are they in this class?" she said looking around.

"Yeah, the one with blonde hair and brown eyes," Mercy said, I was so confused and so was everyone else, apparently.

"No! Really? Oh, I see they cute, they cute. I see you have a type," Sloth said and Mercy just shrugged.

"Kai," Cedar said slowly. "I'm going to give you your voice back and-"

And the school was on lockdown. The alarms, the student yelling, all the doors and windows shutting.

Fuck.

"Kai, you're going to get your voice back and if you try to exorcist anyone of us, I will kill you," Cedar threatened, he nodded.

"It's exorcise, not exorcist," he said and Azure looked at him, eyes wide. Kai himself frowned a little. While he may have gotten his voice back. He was still tied up.

"Now, we're going to try and find the third Sin," Nether said. He has his eyes glued on Church, who was looking at the ground.

"I have the handcuffs." Lust said, waving them around.

"Lust. Put those away. This is a school!" I hissed.

"Oh, no! They're not the kinky ones. They're the ones Church used on me to lock my powers," he said and I nodded a little. 

"Okay, yes, that makes sense," I said. At least he wasn't stupid enough to bring kinky handcuffs to a high school.

"Guys, shut up. I'm trying to explain. Anyway," Cedar said. And he was drinking wine from a glass he must have magically made appear cause he did not have that five seconds ago. "Kai, you're going to distract the Sin and then Church will use the handcuffs on him."

"Me?" Church asked the same time, Nether, me, mercy and Xavier all refused.

"He is not going anywhere near Pride," Nether deadpanned.

"Oh, that's smart," Feather said. "Cedar wants to use Church because he got the handcuffs on Lust without him knowing."

"I don't care," Nether snapped. "He's not. And that's final."

"I'll do it," I said. Yua instantly began shaking his head and making an x with his arms. Azure also flat out denied.

"Well, someone has to do it," Feather sighed. "And it can't be us, these two or you, Mint. Pride will sense you from a mile away."

"I'll do it," Xavier said and I glared at him.

"You will f*****g not."

"Yes I will, someone has to do it."

"And it's not going to be you. A human," Mercy hissed, glaring at her brother. "You're my last family member. I'm not letting you be stupid and throw yourself in harm’s way."

"But-"

"Cedar, say something," Mercy said. She looked over at Cedar who was drinking his wine. Ah, yes she was asking the most reasonable one out of them all.

"I agree with Mercy, Xavier. You're human. You will get hurt."

"Hurry this up before Pride figures out we're here!" Lust hissed.

"The whole school is on lockdown, it's a little too late for that," I hissed. "He knows something's up by now."

I watched as Church stole the handcuffs and locked the door from the outside, he waved the key before he ran.

"That f*****g i***t!" Nether yelled when he realised what exactly had happened.

He tried to blast the door open but it didn't move. He turned to glare at the teacher.

"What the f**k. Why the f**k?!" he screamed.

"The school is on a lockdown. Once a door is locked with that key that Church used it won't unlock until the school goes off lockdown."

"Do something, asshole!" Mercy yelled at Azure. Nether let out a frustrated scream.

He grabbed the teacher by the collar and glared at him. "If anything happens to Church, I will kill you slowly. And then your wife. And then your kids. No, I'll kill them all and then you."

"I know Mercy didn't just call the Knights of Hell asshole," a kid whispered in the group.

Nether took a step back and took a deep breath. He floated into the air, well, he tried and then yelled in frustration when he couldn't. "Why can't I f*****g use my magic!?"

"The new system doesn't let magic be used," the teacher said.

"Talk to me and you die. I'm going to try and find Church," Nether said, he climbed onto a table and crossed his legs, inhaling and exhaling.

"Christo," Sean hissed, as he took a step forward. Only I flinched. But it hurt more than it did before. "Christo. Christo. Christo."

"Shut up, Sean," I hissed.

"Christo. Christo." I don't know the more he said it the more it hurt.

"b***h, if you don't shut the-" I didn't even get to finish my sentence as Yua had Sean in the air, by his neck.

"Yua!" I yelled but he was too focused on chocking the life out of Sean.

I groaned a little and went to Yua. He was so focused on Sean he didn't even see me approaching him. I s**t you not when I said I latched onto his arm, he moved it up and I went off the ground.

I was hanging on by his arm.

"Yua! You're going to hurt him. Let him go!" I yelled and still, he wouldn't focus.

"Yua look at me. Yua!" I yelled over Sean's choking and the other classmates screaming.

Kai didn't say anything. I thought he might have been doing something but he had his eyes glued on Azure.

"Feather, you should-" Ocean began.

"No, shut up," he spoke back. Ugh, I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

"Yua! Stop. I'm fine!" I yelled, remembering what he had said about me being safe. He seemed to have regained himself a little and he looked down at me. I looked up at him and I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit scared it him right now.

"Yua, you're going to kill him. Stop." My arms were hurting from latching onto him, and I was out of breath too. I wasn't exactly the healthiest person.

He released Sean who went back to his friends choking and gasping for air. The others seemed to have quietened down too.

"Who the f**k told you to open your mouth, Sean?" Michelle hissed. "Are you okay, Mint?" she asked, as she took a step forward.

Yua let out a noise from the back of his throat, and she raised her hands in surrender. "I'm fine, thanks, Michelle. Don't come any closer though," I said, and she nodded.

Yua looked around and Azure sighed and then his eyes widened. Azure walked over yanking me to the other side of the classroom.

"Really, Mint? Really?" He looked at me and I looked away. There's no way he knew. He couldn't. I didn't want anyone to know.

"Out of everyone, you choose him."

I didn't need his opinion. I didn't want him to also tell me I was wasting my time and that I would end with my heartbreak. I knew.

"Not now, Azure!"

"Yua, we're fine. Sir down and calm down," I demanded, as I walked back over to him. I led him to a chair and sat him down. I put my hands on his shoulders and he looked at me. He nodded a little and I did too.

"So, that was something," Xavier said, breaking the silence that had dawned upon the class.
