Her baby knight

Chapter 11. A knight in training

* Arabella's POV *

Let's go horsey! I can feel the wind on my face and the adrenaline rushing through my spine. I can hear my horses hoofs on the ground and her neighing.

Hold on my horsey I have to use the bathroom. My horse slows down and I jump of her. Uh oh there is no bathroom. Warm liquid runs down my leg and I start to wake up. Wake up?!

I shoot up. It's dark outside. No earlier than three in the morning. I'm breathing heavily. My dream comes back to me and I slowly remove the cover.

"Shit!"

I peed on myself! I actually peed on myself. This is crazy insane even. And I have training in two hours. This could not be a more inconvenient time!

I get ready in a matter of an hour and rush out the door. I didn't have enough time to change the sheets just to take a quick shower and get ready.

Two hours passed by thirty minutes ago. I took a trolly to the training site. I'm officially late. It doesn't really matter though. Johnathan hasn't been around me much so I doubt he'll care if I was late to his little event.

I make it there eventually. I walk up the doors and open it. I'm greeted by a huge room inside an already huge building. There's knights everywhere.

I walk into the room and immediately notice the lack of deodorant. I scrunch my nose up and lightly cough. I hear a deep chuckle and turn around.

"The room to smelly for you shortcake?"

"I'm five six I'm not short!" Johnathan covers his face and clearly tries to hold back a laugh.

"Whatever."

"Not to get off topic or anything but yes I've been five six since I was in seventh grade but that's pretty tall for a twelve year old back then!"

"Ok. Not to be rude Bella but maybe you weren't tall a bunch of kids were just short in a abnormal way?"

I'm about to object but I get interrupted by a loud buzzer and Johnathan yelling. "Alright boys. Center of the room!"

I cover my ears and Johnathan gives me a look of pity. All the guards move to the middle of the room and stand very straight. I hear the guards bickering.

I'm just staring at them when I remember I'm also a guard in training and scurry over to get in line.

Johnathan looks over at me. "You're exempt from the rest of them Bella." All the guards groan at my advantage.

Before Johnathan can say anything to the rude remarks I step up. "Oh Johnathan, I didn't know you were training a room of whiny little men."

They scrunched their faces at the insult and Johnathan winks an eye at me. "Today you all will be going through multiple training exercises."

I stand next to him and he continues speaking. While Johnathan is speaking I notice two men in suits walk up to doors which open to a field outside.

"You all will go through five areas." The guards step into the field along with Johnathan and I follow.

"The first area is a simple battle zone. You'll be spilt into two groups. One group is the enemies the other is us."

The guards start splitting up. "Did I tell you idiots to move?!" All the guards stop in their tracks. I giggle. It's quite hard to keep a straight face when a bunch of grown men are being told off like babies.
