The next day was spent preparing for the impending confrontation. Y/N felt a mix of anxiety and anticipation as they gathered supplies, weapons, and equipment. Each member of the team was focused, their movements precise and determined.

Katya stuck close to Y/N, assisting her with her training. “You’re getting stronger every day,” she encouraged. “Just remember to trust your instincts.”

“I’m trying,” Y/N replied, her brow furrowing as she struggled with a new technique. “But I still feel the shadows of my past creeping in.”

“That’s normal,” Katya said softly. “It takes time to heal. Just focus on who you are now and who you want to become.”

Y/N took a deep breath, the weight of Katya’s words settling over her. She was no longer just the girl left behind; she was a fighter, a member of a family that chose her. She would not be defined by her past.

As the sun set, the team gathered around a small campfire outside the hideout. Laughter and camaraderie filled the air as they shared stories and memories, a welcome distraction from the impending battle.

But as the night deepened, Y/N couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. She glanced toward the shadows, the distant trees whispering secrets she couldn’t decipher.
