Tasting Drakness

Tasting Darkness By Jessicahall Chapter 14

Chapter 14 “

Darius can be a dick; he will settle down,” Zac said. I stare at him, confused. He almost seemed normal, nice even as he slid a tray of food over to me. Zac sits across from me, grabbing another before digging into his food.

The man beside him is a huge burly-looking man with a short beard and dark hair, and he taps my tray. “Eat; if your training with us, you will need it,” he says, and I looked down at the tray to find it has scrambled eggs on it.

“I’m Satish, that’s Zac as you know, and that one is Deacon,” The other man waves; he had blonde hair, a boyish face, clearly the youngest at the table, I think. It was impossible to tell the actual age of full-blooded Demons; they could be hundreds of years old or precisely the age they appear.

“And that one at the end is, Lyle,” The man nods, but his lips are pulled back in a snarl. Note to self stay away from the unfriendly one. I go back to my food, scooping up some egg on my fork.

“So Darius and the others don’t eat down here with you?” I asked. Zac snorts and shakes his head.

“No, this place belongs to Darius; he owns and runs it,”

“So he brought it then,” Zac shakes his head before leaning back in his seat, “You don’t know much about them,”

“About Darius and the others? No, only what I managed to hear on the radio or see on the news of their killing sprees,”

“Darius grew up here, and this was his home. Darius turned it into a dark arts training facility; they are all teachers in a way, who better to teach dark magic than the demon king himself,” Zac answered

“So you all like it here?” I ask, glancing around at the table, wondering if I could get an idea of where here was.

“Well, we all volunteered, so yeah. We may be demons, but we want to catch the ones responsible for releasing that plague, and taking over the world also sounds promising,” Zac answers, and I nearly choke on my food.
