《Moonlit sky》Chapter 19 - Obstacles and tools

"Wake up moron, i said rest for a bit not sleep half a day." Soft but mean voice was heard above Tenebris, as he raised his head he saw little girl with pitch black hair and dark translucent wing fluttering above him.
"Finally you are awake, come on, get up, its time for work." Spoke little fairy as she flew over to the group that was sitting in another corner talking.
"Hey guys whats up." Spoke Tenebris as he got up and walked towards the group while scratching his head.
"Nothing important, we were just talking about everything that is happening." Answered Tanya calmly.
"So did you guys get over this whole apocalypse thing already or do i still have to go easy on you guys until you adjust a bit more?" Asked Tenebris.
"Go easy? You call this whole thing you are doing going easy on us? Are you some kind of sadistic demon?" Asked Demian with shock on his face.
"Well if its easier for you, you can think of me as that, any way once you get over it that is when the real training will start, but until then i guess you will just have to be beaten until you realise what is actually happening now. But hey i can give you a choice, you can either be beaten by monsters or by me, make your choice?" Answered Tenebris with a smirk on his face.
"I would rather solo dungeon boss than fight you, at least i might get a chance to strike it once that way."
"Oh so you already know about dungeon boss? Lulu talked with you guys i guess, so lets say you know everything you should know, now lets talk business. First things first, food! We need food, lots of it, and if we have enough luck there is still lots of food in cafeteria storage room where we are going next."

"What do we do after we get food?" Asked Diana.
"Step two, recruitment. If we are lucky enough we aren't only people left in this school, so we will go scouting and try and find more people that are willing to join us, to clear this dungeon we need more people than this."
"And what if they don't want to join us?" Asked Tanya frowning.
"If you are not with me, you are against me." Responded calmly Tenebris.
"Which means?"
"I kill them, every single one of them." Spoke Tenebris as cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"How can you be so calm when talking about killing people? Are you really some kind of a demon?" Asked shocked Tanya.
"I told you already, if you find it easier for you to get over it, think of me as a demon, but keep one thing in your mind, this demon saved your asses and is keeping your sorry asses alive. And why couldn't i be calm when i'm talking about killing people, if they are not with me they are just obstacles then, potential threats."
"And what are we to you?" Asked Diana.
"Tools that can be used."
"And what happens if tools aren't useful anymore?" Asked still calm Diana.
"Tomm what do you do with tools that are broken and you don't need them anymore?" Asked Tenebris as he turned to look at Tomm.
"I throw them away."
"Exactly, if you guys aren't useful to me anymore i will abandon you or replace you, i will spare your lives considering you were once useful to me, but if an abandoned tool ever becomes an obstacle, well i already told you what i do with obstacles, no need to repeat myself, is anything else unclear to you?" Explained calmly Tenebris, not even a single emotion was seen on his face as he talked.

"One more thing." Spoke Diana.
"Speak."
"Is there any way that you can see us as persons instead of tools?" Asked Diana with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.
"Impossible."
"Why?"
"To consider you as a person i would have to be human, but you guys already said that i am a demon, taking that logic in mind demons cant see other people as anything else than objects."
"But you aren't really a demon, you are human just like us!" Spoke angrily Tanya.
"I don't really care how do you really see me, and it really doesn't matter, if you want to live you have two choices currently. First one is to sell yourself to this demon in front of you and do your best to be useful, or the second one which is to find a way to survive on your own. Oh right i forgot to mention one thing to you guys, betrayal is answered with capital punishment."
"Didn't you just say that we can leave if we want, and now you say that you will kill us if we do? What kind of a fucked up logic is that?" Yelled Demian as he jumped up and stood in front of Tenebris.
"Sit down!" Growled Tenebris as bit of his killing intent leaked from him. Demian was immediately frozen in place as fear flooded over him, instantly he fell down on his ass with his eyes wide open.
"Leaving is fine, leaving behind my back is betrayal, moving against me is betrayal, conspiring against me is betrayal, well mostly anything that is harmful to me is betrayal, but if you want to leave say so and you can leave." Spoke Tenbris with his eyes squinted and a mild smile on his face.
"Any more dumb questions?"
"I have one." Spoke Lulu with a chuckle.
"Just be quick will you?" Spoke annoyed Tenebris.
"Sure, can you guarantee their safety if they follow you?"
"Whose side are you on really? Aren't you my pet, don't make me banish you again."
"But can you guarantee our safety?" Asked worried Demian.
"No, that's why i said you can leave if you think you have better chances without me. Now if there are no more stupid questions, Tomm and blackie get up, you two are coming with me, blondie and boxer boy you two stay here and watch out for uninvited guests, now lets go." Said Tenebris as he turned to leave the room.
