Helluva Friend

Chapter 11

Another beautiful morning here. Loona and I got up from a good nap and got ready for the day. First, I had to check her stitches to see how well she's recovering. Turns out, she's a fast healer. If this keeps up, she'll be good as new in no time. After examination, I decided to make breakfast while she took a shower. That way when she gets out, food will be ready. And I know hoe much she loves eggs and bacon.

After we ate, I got in the shower while Loona was enjoying the music on her phone. I even let her borrow my earphones to listen. She was in a great mood. In fact, I believe she's forgotten all about her troubles right now. But I wonder when she will return back home? I guess we'll wait and see.

As soon as I got out and got dressed, I took Loona to my garage and gave her a helmet. As I was getting the garage door to open, Loona marveled at my motorcycle. It was a metallic red colored Honda motorcycle with black flames on the side. She never got a chance to look at it the same night I rescued her. Maybe because she was too emotionally disturbed by Hector's attempted rape. But now, she has gotten a good look at it.

"Wow." She said. "This is sharp. Where'd you get it?"

"I found it at craigslist. Good price too. But when it arrived, it was in a really bad shape. So I had help with a friend to fix it up." I told her. She looked at me with suprise.

"Really? You fixed this?"

"With help from a friend, yes. You like it?"

"Dude. This is hot!" This is the first time Loona called me 'dude'. I couldn't help but smile at that. She was looking all over the motorcycle in awe. She's like a little kid looking at a brand new toy. It's so cute.

I handed Loona her helmet to put on. "Come on. We need to get going."

She nodded and puts it on. Her hair was so long, that the majority of it was still free from the helmet. I didn't care. As long as she's safe, that's all that matters. As soon as we got on, I turned my motorcycle on and we departed to my work.

We soon arrived. It was an average sized building with the words 'Defense World' above the glass doors. It's a place where people can go to learn self-defense: Martial Arts, guns, tasers, and archery. Archery was recently added months ago. Some people sees it as a form of sport instead of defense, but they still pay to learn how to use a bow if they ever go into the wild.

I was considered the best archer in the world. Since I was 10, I've developed an interest in archery, and have developed a great skill for it. Because of it, the manager of Defense World saw interest and hired me as a teacher for archery lessons. I couldn't say no. It was my passion, and it pays real good.

Loona was following me as we head off to the archery section of the building. We've meet some of my coworkers who were happy to see me, but were more surprised to see Loona coming with me. They all thought we were dating, some even said we were married, or lost siblings. I told them that she's a friend and that I'll be teaching her how to use a bow and arrow. They understood, but some still told me to take a chance and ask her out. I chuckled and told them to knock it off.

We soon arrived at the archery room. It was big and long. It was like a basketball gym room, but there were targets on on end of the room, and bows of many kinds at the other. Since we were early, we were the only ones.

"Hey Bogy." Loona asked. "I've been wondering. Did you learn how to shoot arrows here?"

"Well, no." I responded. "I actually learned archery since I was 10 years old."

"10 years old?"

"Yea." I dug through my bag and got out the same bow I used on Hector. "See this? This bow, look your book, is my precious treasure."
