The Fighter (A Sasha Waybright x OC book.) [HIATUS!]

The Second Day.

Narrators POV:

The sun slowly rises over the horizon as the camera pans around Todd's house, showing him in the kitchen preparing food.

And then the camera moves into our beloved Min's room where we see.. 

Min attempting to stab a giant spider she found in her room. "BEGONE FOUL THING-" She throws her knife at the spider. Also, to clear things up, the spider is like 5 inches big.

Anyways, the spider somehow escapes out the window as Min stares at the window. "...I'm going to burn this place to the ground, where's my vile of gasoline-" Todd, of course, stops Min from burning down the place as he places a bowl of soup in front of her.

The soup contains veggies, some meat from god knows where(its from a weird ass boar Todd killed <3), and.. bugs. fucking, bugs.

Min's POV:

I stare at the bowl of soup, before shrugging. going ahead and eating it. 'huh.. it weirdly doesn't taste too bad.'

I eventually finish eating as I notice Todd already finished, apparently waiting for my opinion. I give a thumbs up. "Its good, surprisingly." Todd gives a nod and gathers the dirty dishes. "Glad you liked it kiddo."

As Todd rinses off the dirty dishes, as I lounge around, twirling my knife in boredom. Todd takes notice of my boredom as he walks over. "Well you look bored as hell." I give him a blank stare. "Obviously."

Todd sighs and plops onto the couch as he pulls out a dagger and a chunk of wood. He begins carving said chunk as I watch him silently.

I eventually walk over and sit on the couch with him. "....Can you teach me how to carve things out of wood too?" Todd looks at me for a moment, before handing me a chunk of wood and a dagger to carve it with.  He walks me through the steps, having me create a simple shapes first, then make small details on the shapes. 

I catch on surprisingly quickly, as I decide to make a knife. Todd chuckles and shakes his head, continuing to carve his own piece. I can't tell what hes making yet, but I'm sure I'll find out soon.

We sit in silence for awhile until I peek up at Todd, who is currently leaning on the side of the couch, analyzing the chuck of wood. My eyes widen slightly as I realize how much he looks like my brother right now, a certain memory creeping into my mind..

~FLASHBACK~

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stand on the couch, literally standing as I look down at my brother. "Brother! Be the evil pirate so I can defeat you!" I yell out as I point my foam pirate sword at him. He looks up at me from his phone with a sigh.

"Min, go ask sissy." I pout, annoyed he didn't even consider it. "But brother! Sissy is busy with schoolwork!" He sighs and picks up the rouge foam pirate sword on the floor, setting his phone down as he stands up, pointing the foam sword at me with a proud smile. "I will defeat you, and claim the treasure for myself!" I perk up when he plays along as I quickly get in a fighting position. "No! I will defeat you! This treasure is mine!" I swing my sword at his as he blocks my attack.

We swing our swords for a few moments before I come to close to the edge of the couch. I lose balance and fall face first onto the floor. I lay there for a moment before crying loudly. My brother quickly comes to my side, sitting me up as he checks me over for anything too serious.

"M-Min?! Shh... Its alright.." I feel him run his fingers through my hair. When that doesn't calm me down, he does his little ritual.

He leans his forehead against mine as he closes his eyes. "With this spell declared, let the pain be shared." I don't know how he does it, but I always feel better after. (No, he's not magic, its a mind trick. in this anyways-)

I feel my tears slowly stop as he smiles at me. "Are you alright Min?" I stare at him in awe as I nod. "How do you do that everytime?!"

He chuckles softly before ruffling my hair. "I'm magic!" He says with a wink.

~END OF FLASHBACK~

I sit there silently as I feel tears begin rolling down my face. Todd, after a moment, notices my tears as he panics. "O-Oi!- Why the hell are you crying?!-" I quickly begin wiping my tears. "ah, ignore this- you just reminded me of my brother for a moment..." I mutter quietly.

Todd sits there for a moment before scooching over to me. He rubs my back slowly. "Hey...it's alright..uh, how about this. I'll teach ya some fighting moves to cheer you up." I look over at him for a moment, before chuckling slightly. "You're horrible at comforting..but sure, sounds cool"

Todd gives me a smile as he ruffles my hair, before standing up and extending a hand towards me. I finish wiping my tears and take this hand, standing up. 'Second day here and I've already had a fucking breakdown. how stupid.' I think to myself before I feel Todd tug my arm, gesturing to follow him.

I follow him outside as he takes his sword out. "So, kid, you fight with that knife of yours. Correct?" I nod as he thinks for a moment, he suddenly throws an attack at me- I'm assuming to test my reflex time since he kept the sword in its sheath.

I quickly dodge to the side, the sword barely missing me. "What the hell dude?!-" Todd nods to himself before looking at me. "I was testing your reflex speed. Its good, but it could be better." I stare at him, before groaning. 'ugh.. so I was right about testing my reflex speed. That was not fun Todd!'

Anyways, Todd spends the rest of the day training me on reflex speed, and showing me attack moves that would suit me best with my knife. I quickly realize how annoying it is to train with him, considering he keeps bonking me whenever I mess up.

I just messed up another move as I stand there panting. Todd walks over and bonks me, although its lighter than the other ones. "You're a quick learner kid. While some moves could use some work, you did good today." I chuckle and stand up straight, wiping some sweat from my face. "I'll become an awesome fighter one day, promise!"

Todd gives a small laugh before elbowing me in the gut, I assume he meant to nudge me but by frog that hurt- I hold my stomach with a pained smile as Todd panics at his mistake. "Ah! Sorry kiddo!- I forgot your body is fragile!"

"You make it sound like I'm weak.." Todd sighs and takes my remark as conformation I'm alright.

We eventually find ourselves at the small dining table, eating the same soup from this morning. "So, wanna continue learning how to carve things?" I hear Todd ask as I look up from my food. "Hell yeah I do." Todd responds with a small nod as we finish our food, I rinse off the dirty dishes this time.

I soon join Todd on the couch again as he tosses me my half carved chunk of wood. I catch it of course! (Lies, She fumbled it before it fell on the floor-) Anyways. I grab the dagger I was using before as Todd points out some things I could do to make it easier. "So, If you hold the dagger like this, It'll make for cleaner cuts-" It continues like that for the rest of the night. Or, atleast until I'm too tired.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
