The Sacrifice Of Love

Chapter 7

*sorry I haven't put anything out in a while summer school is bothering me but besides that I'm good. So I do hope you enjoy my stories so far! So enjoy lol. And my iPad was taken away for sooooo long lol*

When I woke up the next morning, I was full of energy, but my foot was starting to hurt. I didn't pay much attention to that though, because it was out first day of training! Once I put on my clothes: black tank top, army colored, cargo pants, black boots, and my hair pulled into a simple pony tail, I headed out to the field where all of us were to meet. On my way there, I couldn't stop thinking of who was at my door that night. Just as I was thinking that, I heard someone yelling my name, "Des, honey, slow down!" I looked around, and saw that Aubrey was running up to me. When she got next to me, she put her hand on my shoulder, and was breathing heavily.

"Man, honey, you are one fast walker." I shrugged my shoulders, "sorry, I guess." She stood up straight slowly, "Des, are you ok, you seem a little out of it?" I nodded real quick, and put on a fake smile. I didn't know how good or bad my fake smile was, but I didn't want her to think something was wrong, because I didn't even know myself if something was wrong. She looked at me, crossed her arms, and leaned on one foot. "Spill, honey, something's wrong." I sighed, "Look, I don't even know if something is right or wrong, mainly because I just do t know." Once I told her what happened with the mysterious boy, she couldn't stop smiling. "What?" She let a small laugh escape her mouth, and she quickly said, "You know it's not allowed that a boy comes to your bedroom in the middle of the night, and it's weird that he would do it just to give you a card."

I shook my head, "it wasn't just any card, Abby, it was a black card, the ones that have an unlimited amount of money!" I guess that worked on trying to explain her, because she shut her mouth with a snap, and her eyes were literally popping out of her sockets. She opened and closed her mouth, but nothing was coming out. So I guess she was at a loss for words. I laughed a little as we watched Sensei come out of the building holding a clip board. We all stood in a straight line. "Ok, everybody, we are going to test your abilities and see how you do in the following tests and then we can place you into the categories of capability. Is that clear?" Yes, we all said in unison. I was so excited, that I couldn't contain my excitement, and so when Sensei dismissed us, I went around the corner and yelped for joy.

"Dang, honey, you must really love being tortured for fun, don't you?" I blushed a little and nodded. I couldn't help it, this is what I've been waiting for my entire life, a chance to get revenge on that woman, even though it's just the beginning. "Ya, well I'm just excited." Audrey just raised her eyebrow and nodded. I rolled my eyes and we just stood there staring at each other. I sighed, "you know, this is getting kind of awkward, right?" We both nodded and decided to go to the field and stretch before the course. When we arrived, I was so surprised to see the field. It got changed so much in just under an hour since I first saw it. Here were mounds of dirt, puddles of mud, brick walls, ropes for swinging, and all types of weapons.

It looked really cool, but I started to understand why everyone was so scared of the course. It started out easy, but as you start progressing further, it gets so hard that it could be hazardous. I felt a small thing of fear in my heart, but other than that I was so ready for the training course. "Hey, Aubrey, aren't you excited for this?" I looked at her and she just had her mouth hanging open, and she didn't even look at me. "I guess not," I whispered.

I left Aubrey to take everything in as I started walking towards where Sensei was talking to a surprisingly young person. She had wavy, chocolate brown hair in a simple fish tail braid. Her skin was a fair pale color. Her eyes were a pretty shade of brown that seemed almost red. She had a wonderful hourglass figure with clothes that complimented her every feature. White, leather pants, a flowy peach colored shirt, and nude heels. In other words, she was stunning. They noticed that I was coming up, and they stopped their conversation. Sensei seemed happy to see me, but the lady didn't seem happy as she put on the worst smile I've seen in my life.
