QUIETUS (Book One)

Training with the beasts.

So after I bathed, I dressed myself, it takes longer with all the corsets and undergarments, I do not get why they dress like the ancient times, it is the 21st century dammit. I wait for Cathan to come and get me because basically if I leave the room alone, I die. I do not want to die, like no, I want to go home.

I can die when I get home, with TV, Wi-Fi and red bull, I want to die in style, in y pajamas while watching American Horror Story. Not in some weird place, I cannot even pronounce Xhena without messing up, what's it supposed to be? Who even came up with this name? It's pathetic, pft! Living and the dead, smh, our backyard is also a place where zombies have charity bashes. Some stupid ass logic.

"Are you ready?" He pops in the room, I almost dropped my heart into my small intestines and call that peristalsis, hey I know peristalsis is when food goes down the thingy, oesophagus or some shit like that in short food goes down from the mouth to the stomach or something through the process called peristalsis.

"Yes, I am." I get up from my bed.

"You managed to get the corset on without any help?"

"It is like putting on a bra Cathan, it is not rocket science."

He wants to say something but he hesitates and covers it up with a chuckle, "Let's go." I walk towards the door, "This looks better than your hideous uniform, if it weren't for the beauty you carry, I would rip your head off, bad taste in fashion makes me sick."

"If it weren't for your flirtatious behaviour your highness, I would have though you're gay." I smile.

"Touché"

"What happens if I die?"

"Nothing happens, things don't change but they won't be the same in the future."

"What do you mean?"

"If you die, the Belmairis that were born in your clan will die, pure or impure. That means hundreds of people will die if not thousands, your bloodline carries more Belmairis because your ancestors were the very first."

"What is the point of being really powerful if you cannot even breathe fire? That's stupid, they can keep their powers, Lol."

"You might want to take that back."

"Kiss my ass barbie," I smirk hoping he doesn't really kiss my bum bum, that will be very awkward, I cannot even discuss the levels of awkward that 'kiss' will go through.

"You are vulgar."

"Thank you." We get to the field, with hundred of men training, all six feet tall, buff and muscular. I am literally the grain of rice in the desert, on the desert sand, this is even worse than death. I turn around and head the other way but Cathan grabs my hand and forces me to walk with him.

"You are training."

"Are you OUT of you Blonde mind? Me? Train with those beasts? Are you crazy? I am like a toothpick in ground beef."
