16 Healing

"What are you seeking within me?" Delun asked desperately.

The Bena girl looked cruel as if she was facing a beast not a human in the sore.

"Who are you?" She shouted.

"I am Delun Lee! Who are you? Stop it, you are hurting me." Delun begged, gasping, and was not able to open his eyes.

"What are you?" She continued.

"Bena! Why is he in pain?" One of the hunters asked. Bena meant the holy Lady that could see the darkness and bring out of something or someone so they used to call the girl that way.

"Because the darkness within him is resisting toward my power." She stated.

"Let go of him, please." Bo pleaded, it was awkward to see a huge person like Delun being in that suffering.

"Be patient, boy! Or I might sew your lips." One said, bringing back her mask on her face.

Delun could feel that something dark was twitching inside him, took grasp of every single dark emotion within him to stand strong and resist summon of the girl. He didn't want that filthy being that was about to rise from him so began to help the Bena, kicked the dark out, and fell off the ground, unconscious.

A shadow sneaked out of him, slipping through walls, aiming to find another host. All the presenters in that room were strong enough to let it grow in them but needed the one that couldn't kill it.

"One, it is your turn now." The Bena smirked, her sight on the black shadow figure that she could see inside the sheer white scene across her.

"It's my pleasure!" Even her tune sounded terrifying. Her blue eyes glinted and she turned to the wraith sight, drawing out a red lash, she hit the air, the air around the wraith got cold and colder until the grasses on the walls began to frizz.

Ice grew around the wraith, trapping it, not allowing it to move, glued it to the wall, its red eyes changed color to white, and its whole body enveloped by the ice.

The ice exploded and a black coin laid on the ground, the ice melted hastily afterward.

"Three, heal the nail marks." One ordered.

Three nodded and stepped beside the table, his hand rested on the green grass where the moonlight was glowing. The grass grew long and moved to Delun's chest, covering either of the wounds. No one made a noise to let Three finish what he was doing. It took a short while when the grass sneaked away and returned to its previous place.

There was no mark on Delun's body anymore.

"Why didn't you heal it at first?" Bo asked.

"The wraith was inside him and if we healed it then that would absorb your friend from inside and killed him. Shouldn't you thank Bena for saving his fat belly?" One said and Bo rolled his eyes off her.

"What was that?" Delun opened his eyes smoothly and the words escaped from his mouth earlier.

"A Sekha, we don't have such wraith in Vita! It was discovered in Anonymous country, long time ago! You must tell us what they want from you?" Two said, approaching the boy, extending his gloved hand out to pick him up.

"We have no business with them!" Delun answered, grabbing his hand, standing on his feet. He checked his chest, not even a single scar left there, no itching, no pain anymore.

"What do you mean? How that wraith did take your body? Don't tell us that you don't know." Five said, standing where he was near Shimote's naked statue, making sure that Bo was there motionless. He was blessed with the power to control objects.

"Explain everything, don't miss a word, or I might hurt you this time." One menaced.

"If you dare, just touch him!" Bo replied and she hissed him.

"Alright! No fight." Delun cut them. He had experienced enough but he was glad that Bo arrived on time and saved him from becoming a servant to Lashuka.

"We came back from the Academy and you can check this one, as you know I live with my uncle and he is not in the town. I was straight off to bed and then I don't know what happened! After having the water on the table, I walked to my room, taking off my clothes,"

"I felt dizzy, and a sudden sleep came to me then it was sheer darkness after all that vampire juggler emerged! I felt the pain on my chest and those marks were there." Delun couldn't explain better because there was nothing else.

"Where is your sister, Delun?" One asked abruptly.

A bite wiggled through his throat! Why would they interfere with his sister? Did something happen to her?

Lidia was sixteen years old and living in the dormitory of her high school. Thus, she was not related to any of this.

"What do you mean? She is in her dormitory!" Delun said, but what if she were not there? It was two days past their last meeting.

"We noticed that recently she hang out with a Lashuka worshiper! Now, are you sure about her being there?"

"Watch your mouth she is underaged and an innocent girl." Delun shouted.

One pouted at that way of ethics. She believed that these children were much ruder than they expected. Maybe causing those a bit of pain could bring a tiny of royalty out of them.

"Six, show them what you are capable of!" She commanded and it revealed their commander was quiet the whole time watching his team advance everything.

He was the face of war and it meant they already claimed them on the battlefield.

He walked to Delun and said, "What if a wraith had caught her body?"

"No, it is not possible! You fools, what do you want from us?" He yelled out again.

"Hush, shut your mouth kid, and tell me the right answer! Are you working for the Sparrow king?" He clenched his fist and Delun felt a knot in his stomach! This one was able to tear someone apart without a touch.

"Let go of him, hey you, Six! Let's handle this as if the real men do."

The commander ignored him entirely; he was waiting for the answer.

"I don't know who the hell the Sparrow king works with! But I am not that person." Delun said, kneeling on the ground yet he didn't beg those gods to help him because they didn't once he needed and bade for it. If Lidia were a member of Lashuka worshipers or a wraith had caught her body, he rather dying there even if the possibility was on the lowest percentage. But he knew his sister and it was impossible.

"He is telling the truth, Six." The Bena said.

"Then the next question! Are you worshiping Lashuka?" This time he squeezed his bowels more than before.

"This isn't a quest room! You brought us into a torment room." Bo said, yet pined to where he was and witnessing Delun.

He was sensitive to his sister and they knew his weakness so to take out the truth they used a cruel manner.

"I am not worshiping Lashuka, nor your damn useless gods!" He cried out and bay rose.
