ENTANGLED STRINGS OF PAST

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Hazel Grey

"WHO AM I?" His words hit me repeatedly like the waves in the ocean, hitting harder and harder each time. I want to tell him everything but the problem is I do not even know I am what I have become myself. It is much easier to pretend I am not them to answer that one damn question. However, right now was not the time to think of myself, I cannot let my guard down now.

"I came here for a reason," I reminded myself, to kill my demons forever. It was not my plan to live, I went to the bridge to end everything but god does not let me die so now he will regret his decision. Now the god will see what he has made.

I realize I was still in the warehouse where Aiden has brought me to train me for his mission. It has been an hour or so, he has been explaining to me how he will train me. it was a little boring I will not lie but I would love to learn his skill of fighting, and with that thought, I went in the ring with him.

"Fighting includes physical strength but it is not the most important thing, to win a fight you have to use your mind more than your body," he said. The exact words someone once told me, I wondered. He taught me some basics. Then he told me to attack, it was time to brush up on my abilities but I stayed a little back because I cannot let him know my truth not until I am ready to believe him or anyone again. After some minutes, I end up pinning him onto the mat.

We both stayed like that, neither had he said anything nor did I let a word pass my lips, we just let our silence find the answers. I was not the only one hiding things, he was also hiding darkness behind those blue ocean eyes. However, the difference between him and me was that he was good at hiding.

"Hey, Sweetie! Don't you dare kill my boy!" I heard a female voice shouted at me from a corner. Aiden and I both snapped out and I climbed off him.

"Mariana" I heard him exclaimed. The woman in her twenties, whose name was Mariana I assumed, walked to us while we got out of the ring. She was wearing a maroon jumpsuit paired with black boots, and long strawberry blond hair with smoky eye makeup. She was looking like a model who came straight from New York fashion week.

"What are you doing in here?" Aiden's question brought my attention to her then to admire her beauty. "You said you wanted me," she stated. He wants her that sounds interesting. "But you were about to come next month?" he asked. "I finished my assignment early," she said firmly.

"By the way who's this dangerous beauty, holding you onto the mat?" she asked looking at me.

"She is the reason why I wanted you," he announced. "ME!" I exclaimed in surprise or I should say shock. Both heads turned towards me. "I want you to teach her the abilities of yours," he said cutting the awkwardness. "I got what you mean" she smirked. "What do you mean?" I asked Aiden very shocked. "Hey, don't worry I'll tell you what he means," she told me maybe judging my awkwardness. "Don't worry Hazel" he assured me.

"HOLY SHIT! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE" I heard Terry shout from behind but before anyone of us could react, he rushed toward us, picked and hugged Mariana. They both laughed. "Nothing serious," she said struggling. "GOD I MISSED YOU!" he shouted, "I missed you too big bear," she said laughing. "Will you please put her down" Aiden snapped in between, and Terry put her down.

"We will talk to you alone, but can you start as soon as possible, as we don't have time," Aiden said to her.

"Yes, sure I'll start from today only" she assured him.

"Hazel we will continue your fight training in the afternoon, there is a change in the pattern. So for now go with Mariana she will explain you further" he said waiting for my confirmation, so I nodded.
