NOVA

Chapter 4

"Hey." I replied. "I heard you haven't got any clothes, so let's go shopping tomorrow!" Lily squealed. "Sure." I replied.

The rest of the day and the next day both were complete blurs. We went shopping and I got lots of clothes. I also got to know Lily better. She always wanted a daughter so I became one to her.

Today was the day I had to be tested for my abilities and given a training course accordingly. I went to the room which was very difficult to find. I was wearing comfortable training clothes that is black yoga pants and a light blue shirt and black sneakers.

I went into the room and found 3 other people waiting for me. Xavier, the trainer, and another guy around my age. "You are late", said the trainer. "Sorry I sort of lost the way." I gave a sheepish smile and took my place beside the new guy.

"I am Jax and I am going to train you for the next 2 years. If you do everything properly you are gonna love this and if you make me angry, you will suffer my wrath." Classic teacher line.

"Ok so first we are going to do hand to hand combat. Stand in a starting position."

--- After 3 hrs---

Finally after 3 hours he let us have a breath. We didn't exactly do badly but he said we need a lot of improvement. My muscles were aching so bad. I definitely needed a warm bubble bath. I learnt that Lucas was Xavier's best friend. He was a fun guy. I think we are gonna be the Golden Trio. I did however have some flashbacks of a boy from when I was around 11. I hear him calling me 'Hillie'.

--- After 3 Months---

I was wearing a black tank top with black pants and a green jacket. We have finally specialized hand to hand combat. I must say I'm pretty impressed by myself. Today we are going to take weapons of our choice. We would have a weapon we specialise in and 2 others for just in case and safety.

I go back to the training room where we first met. "Hey guys!" I greet them. I have grown close to this family. Everyone here is so nice to me. They care for me and treat me as their own child. I do miss my parents. I can never forget them but I know as long as I am happy they are.

"Hey so what weapon are you both choosing? I guess I'll take sniper guns and like you know guns in general cuz that's a really common one and I can easily use it." Lucas asked.

"Well I don't know... I have to see what all they have here." I replied

"I am choosing Swords and knives." Xavier said

"Well hello kids. Excited for today? I will first see how you perform on each weapon and then we will choose." I had grown to like Jax. He was sincere with his work and gave us breaks in between training and dare I say cracked jokes.

We first went for a gun. Lucas had aimed right in the centre of the circular board. While me and Xavier had not been able to hit near the centre. Next we went for crossbows. I was really good at this. Lucas and I hit all targets in the centre and Xavier hit near the centre.

We went and tried all the weapons for some time and finally we got our specialising weapons. We were told that a gun was a must so we would be given 2 according to our abilities.

I got Crossbows and Fans. I know fans feel weird but do look graceful and could be easily hidden.

Xavier had Knives and Nunchucks.

Lucas had a Gun and throwing weapons that are the star shaped blades aka Starknife. I must admit those were cool.

And now the training begins...
