An Immoral Beginning

VII: Beginning Of A War

It's been three days since we've been here, Nick and Arthur both have been doing things while I train with mr. Torvac. It's brutal and hard work, for him and me, I always struggle when I have to be still to take hits willingly and for him to control himself. I hear that within the next week we'll going to-

"Attention all, there is an altercation taking place outside, we advise all to be on watch. People will be trying to break in, if any are found in the premises, violence will be a preferably better option. Stay alive and do not die, please proceed to room 27 for further information.That is all."

The announcement just ended, what has happened for this to occur, whatever it is I'm sure it's nothing I can't handle. I make my way to room 27, there's a hell of a ton of guards and people, everyone seems oddly calm as if this was a daily occurrence. I find a seat and sit down, no one knows I'm new around here, at least I could blend in for now anyway.

"Attention everyone, please lessen the noise this is an announcement. As of yesterday, we had lost a group of men while out on a mission, it was reported that the car was destroyed. We currently don't have a suspect, but today at 11:38 A.M. a gang of people were chanting "The goddess shall feel with glee, for the others shall bleed, in our goddess name we shall feast." And as of now they have slaughtered over 20 of our soldiers, currently more bodies are dropping dead as we speak!"

"Jesus, that's awful!" Someone said in the crowd.

"I'm gonna shoot them till dawn!"

"Another crazy, huh? Sick bastards!"

And everyone started a chatter which filled the room down to up, it wasn't until the announcer had to step in.

"Everyone, Everyone!"

And just like that everyone stopped with their conversations, I'm surprised on how quickly it went quiet.

"As I continue to say, everyone will be handed throwing knives, if anyone needs a gun please proceed to room 14."

And once he stopped everyone chatter again until people began leaving, one by one getting throwing knives and then someone stopped me.

"Hey kid, where's your belt?"

"Huh? What belt?"

Hm, a newbie, just great.."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Quit acting tough, you don't look it one bit, I don't understand what he sees in you to keep training you, maybe he feels sorry for you."

"What's your problem? Do you want to die?"

"Excuse me? I will shoot you faster than you could think, not to mention your just a kid."

"Jesus you two, what is this, a gay rivalry romance?"

It was Penelope, I almost started laughing but I got a hold of myself.

"The hell?! Listen girl, you better shut your before I-"

"What you mad because its true?"

"Ugh! Just take this and get the hell outta here!"

He hands me the knives as well as he does with Penelope, we leave and walk into the halls getting lost into our talk. Then suddenly gunfire.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

"Oh shit, they broke in!"

"Damn, I heard them coming from the other way, shit this isn't good..." Penelope said with a calm tone.

"How can you be calm like that?" I ask.

"Don't worry you'll get used to it, now I'm defending this area, you go to the other one."
