The Trainee

Chapter Two

Samson's POV

So my original plan was to avoid stable cleaning by hiding in my mom's office. That, however, changed when I rounded a corner and saw a group of girls beating up one other girl.

I manage to chase the group off and spout a few well intended threats to have them hung from a bell tower. When I return, the girl was picking around trying to gather her belongings. Being the gentleman that I am, I helped. As I tried to make conversation, something falls from above and knocks the kid out cold. My eyes dart up and catch a wisp of fiery red hair.

"10 points to Mia for instant K.O." One of them calls out.

This was a game to them? For a moment I considered dropping her and killing them all myself but when I felt something drip onto my hand I knew I had to leave them for now.

I managed to lug the girl and her belongings to my house. She was out for a good two hours as I patch up a broken nose, cut eyebrow and a broken wrist. Unfortunately Leelu came home as I was getting ready to search for other cuts and bruises.

"Fucking shit Samson." She said as she entered the room. "If you're planning on raping someone don't do it on the couch."

"Oh shut up will you." I fire back. "I found her getting the crap beaten out of her by some other girls."

Leigh showed no interest. "Why did you bring her here? Dad's gonna flip when he sees all the blood she's gotten everywhere."

Leelu was full of shit. There wasn't any blood anywhere. I finally stop what I'm doing and look at my little sister.

"They were beating her up and calling out points like it was a game." I explained in a low voice so as not to wake the girl up. "One of them even dropped a brick on her from on top of one of the lecture halls."

Leelu's face softened a little when she heard that.

"Well concussion or not," she shrugged, "dad is still gonna kill you for bringing it home."

Out of the corner of my eye I see movement.

"Good fucking job Leigh." I say pushing past her. "Your obnoxious ass voice woke her up."

She flips me the finger. I go to the aid of my new little friend. Kneeling on the ground next to her, I watch as her eyes slowly open. "Hi. Welcome back."

She turns her face away from me and winces at the pain.

"Yeah they did quite a number on you. I was hoping to finish patching you up before you woke up." I try to smile in order to ease the situation. The girl looks down and sees her shirt open. Intense [eye color] eyes snap at me.

"Don't worry." I smile. "I'm not a creep."

"At least not while the sun is up." Leelu calls from somewhere.

"Shut it wench. Isn't it time for your mid day Armin prayers?" As I turn my attention to Leelu the kid tries to get up. Quite easily she hoists herself into a sitting position.

"Careful there. Don't want you blacking out again." I look her over carefully. Out of the corner of my eye I see Leigh come in with three cups of tea. She isn't all ice and swears.

"Drink this." She said pushing a cup into her hand. "It will help with the pain."

We drink in silence for a while then I speak. "So what's your damage?" The girl says nothing but looks at her bandages.

"What's your name at least?" I try.

"[your name]. From the 108th trainee squad." Was the quiet response.
