VI

-Arabella's POV-

I've been here for no less than four days and already I've been hit on and almost taken for an "entertainer" which I didn't even know was possible or that they actually existed.

Danica has been a big help around here. I miss the Quartz house. It was a lot less harder to figure out. But then again, it wasn't as big.

"Are you ready for today?" Danica asked as I walked to breakfast with her.

"What's today?" I asked confused.

"Belle, we have training today. I'm just going with you because it's always good to have a refresher." She said and I sighed.

"Right, I'll need paper and—"

"Paper? Amica, you'll need to dress in flexible clothing. We're fighting today." She beamed at me.

"Fighting? As in like sparing classes? Yeah no. I don't do that." I replied to her grabbing a regular bowl of fruit.

"You have no choice. Tori said it's what you're doing today." She shrugged.

"Well fuck Tori. I'm not doing that." I rolled my eyes and Danica just looked at me with wide eyes.

"What? Seriously, I'm not doing anything. I really didn't want to be here in the first place." I added.

"No one even dares to say that about her, you're brave." Danica says.

We walked to the table and sat down together. Everyone at the table looked normal, black suits and all. While Danica and I were in sweatpants and tops. Very much unprofessional.

I looked around and saw Enzo, he had a smile on his face as he waved hi to me and I waved back.

I saw Dario further down, and I shuddered in my skin just remembering yesterday.

His hand was bandaged and he had cuts above his eyebrow and along his jaw.

"What happened to Dario?" I asked Danica softly.

"Oh shit yeah, I heard he had is hand cut into. I mean I have no idea why or anything, it's just a rumor but apparently it was so bad they took him to stanza five. That room is really fucking scary." Danica said as she filled her mouth with fruit and yogurt.

"Jesus. I wonder what he did." I said softly.

After breakfast Danica and I took a walk in the garden to watch the marine life that live and swims near Eden.

There were dolphins and schools of fish. We really only caught glimpses of them because they were daring and sprung out of waters.

After a bit we headed inside towards the training rooms. We got changed into more moveable clothing. I wore a matching dark blue sports bra and a pair of leggings with some white socks that went over my leggings and white trainers.

To be honest, I was nervous. Really nervous. I have no idea what I'm doing.

When we entered the room was filled with all kinds of things. There was a punching bag and boxing ring. A weights section and two treadmills.
