Through Good and Bad

Training

     I woke up the next day and went to train with my brother. "Alright," Stephen started. "decision making isn't easy. You will have more than one or two decisions, you have to make the decision that is best for your faction, not for you. Got it?¨ I nodded my head yes and he continued. ¨So, I'm going to give you two choices and you're going to pick the best one for the faction. Alright, it's between you and you're family. You either kill your loved ones or yourself. Which do you choose?¨

¨Between me and my family. Well, if I chose to keep my family alive that would mean my faction would lose their leader, and that would lead to chaos. If I chose to kill my family, the faction wouldn't lose that much. But, could I get rid of my family is the question. I know I would pick my family because I have to stay alive for my faction. I have to make the decisions, not my family.¨

¨Very good.¨ He nodded in approval. He gave me more decisions to pick from for the next two hours. Next I went to Harrison for how to handle a meeting. Harrison was a nice guy at most. He was patient and helped when I needed it. This went on for two more hours. Then I went to Angelina for how to act in a meeting. I had to learn how to sit, eat, and speak properly for a meeting for two more hours. I dreaded my last two hours with Eric. I got the pleasure of Eric training me in combat. The pleasure of him getting to beat me. I took my time getting there because I was in no hurry.

I got there just in time, just in time to get chewed out by Eric. ¨You're late, what do you think this is, relax time. Get your ass in here.¨

¨I was in here right on time, so get your panties out of a wad. I could always ask Max if Four could train me. If I do remember, he did get first in your combat class, which means, he beat you. So that means he would be a better teacher.¨ I smirked.

¨Max wouldn't allow that and neither would I.¨ He taunted.

I started walking out the door to prove him wrong when he shouted. ¨Ok, come back here and I won't yell at you again. I will teach you how to fight.¨ He rushed. I stopped where I was and I laughed. ¨What?¨

¨I know how to get you to panic. It's funny.¨ I laughed.

¨First lesson is don't disrespect your elders. Now get over here and let me show you what real fighting is like.¨He laughed. I walked over to him and glared.

¨You do know that I got first in my class both times right?¨ I retorted.

¨Yeah, but you've never fought me.¨ He then got the biggest smirk on his face. I was bound and determined to wipe that smirk off of his face. He turned around to take his jacket off and I ran at him. I jumped up and kicked his knees in. He fell to the ground with a thud and turned and swiped my feet out from under me. I fell on my back and gasped for air. He straddled my hips and I punched him in the face. He didn't even budge, I know I hit him hard enough, but he just sat there like I didn't even do anything. He was staring at me intently and it made me feel uncomfortable. Then I thought of something wonderful. I leaned up to kiss him and he leaned in to kiss me. I let his lips touch mine just a little bit, that's when he took down his guard.

I took my chance and punched him in the face. His lips immediately disconnected from mine and I felt a sudden loss. I shook that from my mind and kicked him where it counts. He fell down on the ground mumbling incoherent curses and I said, ¨remember the first rule? Never let your guard down.¨ I knelt down beside him and whispered in his ear. ¨Sucks to be beat by a girl. Doesn't it?¨ I laughed and hopped of the mat.

I didn't even hear him get up and hop off the mat, but the next thing I know, I'm being pinned against a wall. ¨I will never be beat by a girl, especially not you. Also, just to let you know, I didn't let my guard down.¨ He roared.

¨Right, say whatever you can to save your pride.¨ I rolled my eyes. What he did next was unexpected. He jerked my chin to make me look at him and he crashed his lips to mine. I tried pushing him away, but he wouldn't budge. I began to feel sudden pleasure in his kiss. I shook myself back to reality, and I slapped him across the face. He stepped back and smiled. I ran out of the room in a sudden panic. I can't believe I just kissed Eric back. How am I going to tell Four? I thought to myself and began to panic more. What's even worse.

I liked Eric's kiss, the feel of his soft lips on mine. I wanted to feel his lips on mine again.
