To be mad in a deranged world, its not madness. Its Sanity.

7:00 AM.

A loud fucking bell rings at 7 AM to wake up
everyone.

Auburn got up, sighing in annoyance. She put
the sneakers on and walked to the girls'
change room to put on the training clothes
they were provided with.

Black track pants and a black tank top. She
brushed her teeth and washed her face. She
tried her best to make herself look alive with
what they were provided with.

She walked out to go to the cafeteria, as
instructed. She saw a few of the other peers
sitting down with breakfast.

Not eating, just staring.

Well, Jessie was eating.

Auburn grabbed a tray and got served with
eggs, bacon, sausage links, and fruit before
she grabbed bottled water.

She sat down in the same spot she sat for
dinner the night before and just stared at the
food.

She saw the girl with matching auburn hair walk in, everyone wearing the same clothes. She got her food and took a seat with her mates, staring at her food.

"Morning," Quinn spoke as her and her twin
sat around Auburn.

She flashed a smile. "Morning," she greeted
kindly.

"A, I honestly think you should eat
something," Selena said quietly.

Nodding, "you haven't eaten for a few days since before the fight ," Quinn joined in.

Auburn lifted a lazy shoulder, "I'm really not
hungry," she mumbled.

Before anyone could converse anymore, the
door swung open and Aaron walked in.

"Training starts in ten minutes, so eat up and
go to the training room," Aaron demanded
before walking out.

Auburn wasn't hungry, so she walked out of
the cafeteria and to the training room. She
walked in and saw she was the first to be in
the room.

She leaned on the stone wall, arms crossed in
front of her chest as she waited for the rest to
show up.

A familiar red-head girl walked in only seconds after. Auburn assumed shealso wasn't hungry.

Ellie walked to the wall and leaned just as Auburn was, but her hands were in her pants pockets.

"Careful, Reid- if you keep staring, I might
accidentally think you're obsessed," Ellie
broke the silence, looking over at her.

Auburn scoffed. "As if," she said and her nose
scrunched.

Silence.

Only moments after, everyone showed up and
so did Aaron. "Some of you will be paired up
to practice together- all I can say is, don't kill
each other," Aaron stated firmly.

"Where are our original weapons?" Brandon questioned.

"They're with me, but you're not allowed to
use them. The Lord knows you're all
decent with your own weapons, but he
demands you all learn how to fight without
being used to it- just to truly see who is the best
of his followers," Aaron explained. "There's a
shooting range down the hall, so whoever
wants to practice shooting- follow me," he
said, walking out of the room.
