"i don't know who i am anymore"

"Where's Ban?" Kreese asked Elena as he sat in his office chair, Silver at his side, "Her parents are separating as you know.. I don't think she's been sitting well. She just needs time, don't worry about her. She'll be ready."

Kreese nodded his head at Elena, knowing she she promised him something, she would succeed. "I need her in here soon." Elena nodded, bowing towards her senseis before she exited the office, heading over to Tory and Robby.

Tory held the dummy as Kenny punched at it, Robby began to speak as Elena came to his side, "They know we are the biggest threat, they also know that Tory and I can't risk violating probation."

Elena put her hands on her hips, "So we get them somewhere that no one else is around.. Hawk first though. He picked on Ken and my brother, I'm kicking his ass. Or knocking him down a few pegs."

"Listen up. Gather around." Silver called as he and Kreese came from the office, they all got into their rows, "We just had a little powwow with the Senseis at Miyagi-Do. From here on out, there'll be no more fighting until the tournament."

Elena scoffed immediately as if the two men had just read the whole dojos minds. "They humiliated us and we have to back down?" Elena asked staring at Kreese, "Of course not. We should always show our enemies no mercy."

Kreese spoke looking at Elena and Tory, who seemed the most annoyed. "But there's a time to fight." Silver added, hands on his hips as he stared at the mat, "No need to waste a punch if it's not gonna score a point."

He offered, hand held towards Kreese before he looked at the group, "So if our enemies do something to mess with you or laugh in your face, good! Take all that anger and store it. You're gonna need it when the time comes!"

He pointed at them, finger stopped on Elena for a moment, "Is that understood?" Elena and Tory shared an annoyed look but responded with the class, "Yes, Sensei."

Silver looked at Kreese, who stared at him like that wasn't planned. Elena could tell something was off and a part of her really wanted out. She wanted to be done but after everything, she can't leave now. Not yet.

Elena's head was dug in her locker, she was growing angry as she couldn't cover up the bruise on her face. She had more one on one with Silver and it wasn't turning up as well as she would have hoped.

She was getting better but his fists always connected as did he kicks. "Your books go in there, not your head." Elena nearly hit her head on her locker as she looked up fast but a hand caught her forehead.
