I

- Ariadne

A bell rings.

You groan before turning around in your bed, now with your back facing the entrance of the tent.

The bell rings again. Loud.

Very loud.

You grab your flat pillow and slam it violently into your head, hoping to muffle the sound. No success. You remove the pillow in defeat and turn around again. As you turn around, you notice someone standing in your doorway. You slowly sit up straight and yawn.

"Good morning princess", a deep voice greets you. You squint your eyes, trying to see who's face it belongs to, even though you already had some suspicions. 

"Did you sleep well?". You rub your fists into your eyes while nodding your head in response. 

"Good", the voice says. "Get up, you're late". The familiar man places three soft pats at the top of your head. He often does this to comfort you.

You chuckle and throw your blanket to the side. "Thanks for waking me up Benjamin. I don't know how i could've overslept..." He hated it when you called him Benjamin and you knew that. But that didn't stop you from teasng him with it.

"First, that is not my name. And second: judging by the alarm clock that is not present anywhere in this room, I think I'd say i have pretty good idea as to why you overslept", Ben said as he tossed you your training robe that was draped over a chair.

You stand up, put your robe over the leggings and tanktop you were wearing as pajamas and follow Ben as he pushed the flaps of the tent aside, allowing for fresh air and sunlight to enter the room.

You take a deep breath as you step out of the tent and feel your stomach growl. Shit. You slept through breakfast.

Ben notices you rubbing your hand over your stomach and hands you a granola bar wrapped in a white napkin. You take it and gratefully smile at him.

"I missed you at breakfast... Figured you'd be hungry"

You take a big bite and struggle to swallow it as your mouth is still dry from your long sleep. You turn around to look for some water but Ben already had his hand extended towards you, holding your bottle.

"How did you even do that? I didn't notice you taking it", you ask playfully. You take a sip and finish your bar.

Ben shrugs with a smug expression on his face before taking your bottle in his left hand and placing his right hand where the bottle had been seconds before. You blushed as you felt the warmth of his palm against yours. He smiles as he leads you to the temple, keeping your hands intertwined.

You come to a stop before the doors of the temple. He frees his hand from yours and gives you an apologetic look.

''It's okay Ben. We both agreed to keep this a secret", you comfort him. He pats you softly on your head and opens the doors.

"How nice of you to finally join us miss Ariadne. Thank you Ben for fetching her", Master Luke gestures to the both of you to take your seats. Luke and the other students were sitting on the ground in a circle formation. There were about 13 students, including you and Ben. The ages ranged between 12 and 18 years old, with you and Ben both being on the older side.

You nod to Master Luke and go sit down next to Rida. Rida has always been very shy and silent during lessons. That didn't take away from the fact that she was always doing an amazing job. Rida was the only rodent child in the training program, also one of the most recent additions. As one of the eldest, you felt very responsible to make sure everybody feels safe and welcome.
