Devil's Enthronement

Chapter seven

               Detention.

"I told you not to do anything." Ash said as Kiara came back to the table.

" At least he would learn not to mess with me again". Kiara said and left.

"It's going to be a long day for Kiara". Imogen said shaking her head.

After school Kiara and Dylan went to Mrs kate office and she led them to the detention room. In the detention room, Kiara was focused reading her book, Dylan folded his arms looking around and drawing at intervals while Mrs. Kate watched them like a hawk. An hour and thirty minutes into detention, Mrs. Kate's phone rang distracting everyone from what they were doing.

 "Hello" Mrs kate said with furrowed brows trying to dictate the voice of the unknown caller.

"Am I speaking with Kate Manchester the wife if Oscar Manchester?"

"Yes you are. How may I be of help to you?"

"Oh I wish you could help me but you husband needs it most right now." The voice said from the other end. " He fainted and was rushed to the hospital, you really need to be with him right now."

" Hospital? My God, which hospital?"

"St. Peters"

"Thank you so much, I'll be on way now" . The call ended from the other end and Mrs. Kate packed her beg and left. As she got to the door she stopped abruptly to talk to Dylan and Kiara.

" Make sure you stay till the end of your detention. Mrs. Glen will be around to lock up after you guys leave, I have to leave right now, it's urgent".

As Mrs kate left, Kiara returned to reading her book but Dylan wasn't willing to let her read in peace.

"Reading to impress me huh? I am not smitten by nerds" Dylan said snatching the book from Kiara.

"You are the last thing I would want to Impress". She said stretching to reach for her book hanging over Dylan's head.

"So short, you don't take your veggies do you? I'd advice you start taking them from now, you need it for your height."

"Thanks a lot, now give me back my book" She said and grabbed the book but Dylan was fast to pull it out if her grip and it fell to the front of the class, and as she rushed to pick it, Dylan stuck out his leg causing her to trip and fall. 

    As Kiara bent to pick her book ,she saw a letter board with writings embedded in the foot of the wall, she took a closer look at it trying to read what was written on it, not understanding what it was she shrugged and stood up. For support, she held candle holder and as she stood up, the candle holder shifted and a loud thud was heard. The wall where the candle holder was positioned opened and gave way for an inner room. 

    As the wall shifted, folds of steps unfolded leading to the deeper part of the room, Dylan and Kiara stood in awe looking back and forth themselves and the mysterious room. 

Dylan looked at Kiara and she shrugged.

"Why are you doing that? You caused it"

" How is my fault?"

"You know what you did"

"Well it wouldn't have happened if you didn't make me trip" 

"Of course all girls trip for me" He said with a smirk.

"Not me for sure. I'm going to take a look ,you can come if you wish" Kiara said entering the room and Dylan followed suit.

  With every step they took down the stairs ,torches which were placed on either side of the room lit, they climbed down the stairs and were welcomed into a large room, with books neatly stacked in shelves .

  "Wow" Kiara said running her hands on the books on the shelf in front of her.

"It's seems like an ancient library"

"And a secret one too" Kiara added.

" I need to explore this place more"

" Yeah, me too". 

And they went farther into the room walking down the shelves on either side of the room with the number of each shelf marked on the ground till they got to sixth row on the right hand side of the room .A single shelf which was had glass doors with a 'Descendants of Shateem'inscription incorporated on in occupied the whole row.

     "Descendants of Shateem" Dylan read and opened the shelf. Kiara took out a book and as she opened the book , a rat ran past her, she yelled and jumped on Dylan's body . Dylan caught her and pulled her closer to himself , bringing his face closer to hers with their lips an inch apart.

 "Finally touched Dylan Russo, how does it feel having your dreams come true?" Kiara immediately pulled out of his grip and he let out a soft chuckle.

"We should get back to the class. Mrs. Glen will be here anytime soon" . Said Kiara as she straightened her shirt.

"Hmm. You can go , I'll leave when I'm done."

"And how will you explain to her all of this?" She said pointing to everything in the room. " I think we should keep this between us for now."

"Fine". He said and they left the room.

   Mrs. Glen walked in as they were leaving the detention room, Kiara greeted her with a smile and left the room with Dylan.

 " Hey, try not to think too much about me"

"Oh you wish" Kiara spat, rolling her eyes as she watched Dylan's figure leave.

'So full of himself' .

       

***********************************

          At night, after Kiara had dinner,she came to the living room to sit with her dad, resting her head on chest.

 "Dad, can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah of course"

"Have ever heard of the descendants of Shateem?"

He nodded.

"You have?"

" Yeah, it's just a group of people that possessed powers a long time ago. It's a myth tho"

"A myth? I doubt , if it was just a myth they wouldn't have a library in their name.

" A library in their name? What do you mean by that? Travis asked turning to face Kiara.
