Another Time, Another Place

The Beginning Of My New Life.

Kleo woke early, excited for the first day of her new life. She had decided her new name would be, Gabriella. Kleo showered and prepared for the day. She was just trying to put her armour on, when there was a knock on the door, she knew it had to be Rebel, because she was the only one who knew which room she was in, that would come to her room. It had to Rebel, Kleo couldn't help but feel a little excitement to see the pretty, green eyed, blonde.

"Good morning, Kleo I bought breakfast, do you need help with that?" Rebel said.

Kleo blushed, knowing she didn't have anything but her binder, under her armour, but she knew she couldn't get it without help. "Uh, yes please." Kleo said

Rebel put the breakfast tray down on the table, and said, "sure let me get that for you." Rebel began doing the side buckles on Kleo's armour and couldn't help admiring the soft, tanned skin. When her hands accidentally grazed Kleo's skin, Rebel couldn't help the rush of desire that exploded in her.

When Kleo felt Rebels touch, on her skin, she gasped at the touch and fireworks felt like they were exploding, in her stomach. Stop Kleo, Rebel is probably straight, either way she doesn't see you like that. She introduced you to her parents as a friend.

Rebel finished buckling Kleo's armour and said , "Let's eat breakfast, before it gets cold, I hope you like pancakes."

"I love them, thanks." Kleo said. "So I was thinking about what your mum said, about changing my name and I like Gabriella, what do you think?"

"I think it suits you, very pretty," Rebel said blushing, after she realized what she said. "Gabriella Kom Trikru."

"Yes, I like that alot. Gabby to my friends." Kleo said.

"Ok, I will call you, Gabby from now on." Rebel said smiling.

Well I guess that clears that up then, she sees me as a friend, Gabby thought.

Gabby nodded and said, "thank you for breakfast, it was delicious, what do we need to do first today?"

"First we need to dismiss the guards, we travelled with and send them back to Ton DC, then we need to meet Zahra, for training, you will be training as well, to help with your cover. Then we will stop by the food stalls, in the market place, for lunch, a quick stop in at the armoury, so you can be measured and choose your armour, after that we will supervise Zahra's training, while I teach you Trigedasleng, our native language. And finally shower and have dinner, with the family. My mums of course, my Aunty Octavia and Aunty Raven, Their daughters Jett and Nyx and my twin sister Lyric and Little Sister Indigo but everyone calls her Indi. I apologise in advance if she flirts with you, she has a thing for pretty, older woman. Not that you are much older she is 16." Rebel explained.

"You think I'm pretty?" Gabby asked.

"Well," Rebel said, embarrassed, "I mean how could I not."

"Did you say your twin?" Gabby asked.

"Yes we are identical looks wise, but Lyric is much sweeter and nicer than I am." Rebel explained. "She's an exceptionally skilled doctor. When we were little, I would cause the mischief, she would either get us out of trouble or distract the adults. She's the best."

"Sounds like it." Gabby said.

"We had better go." Rebel said and led Gabby out of the tower. The guards were packed and waiting for orders. "You are dismissed, to return home to Ton DC, thank you for your assistance."

"Sha, Trikova Heda." The guards said before they mounted their horses and rode off.

"What was that they called you?" Gabby asked as they made their way to the training grounds, to meet with Zahra.

"Its just a silly nick name people call me. It means shadow commander." Rebel explained. "Apparently when I fighting, I move so fast it looks like I can travel through the shadows. I don't like it, but it's tradition, if the people choose a name for you, you answer to it. Just like mumma Clarke, gets called Wanheda, which means commander of death. She gets called that because she bought down our biggest enemy, by herself, with just some technical assists, from Aunt Ray."

When they arrived at the fighting grounds, Zahra was already doing stretches to warm up. Rebel explained the stretches to Gabby and told her to warm up, while Rebel demonstrated Octavia's Death from above move a couple of times, for Zahra, before leaving her to practice it, over and over until it was perfected. Rebel called Gabby over and told her to get in a fighting stance. Her stance wasn't to bad, but Rebel did have to get behind Gabby and move her body into place. "Good, now I want you to throw a punch at me." Rebel said. The rest of the morning went quick, with Rebel teaching the basics to Gabby.

At lunch they went to the markets, which amazed Gabby and she tried many different snacks, before it was time to see Dahlia, the amour maker, to get armour, befitting a former Princess. When they got back to the training grounds, Rebel had Zahra practice the use of different types of weapons, tonight is Dagger training, both throwing and stabbing. While she teaches Gabby, Trigedasleng. Before they know it it's time to pack up and prepare for dinner.

Rebel thought it was going to be a long night, of explaining who Gabby was and that she wasn't in fact her new girlfriend. So she suggested Gabby take a long relaxing bath, because that is what she was going to do.
