Chapter 2: Training or Torture?

       Naomi's snicker echoed throughout the vast white room. "Shall we begin?" Kim's eyes widened  and she became very nervous, she started to shake again as the room began to transform itself. The floor shifted causing some hills to form, grass began to grow, and the wall changed into huge red wood trees. The plain white room became a forest with wide clear opening of lush grass. "I wouldn't continue to admire the scenery if I were you!" shouted Naomi. Kim looked around taking note of the area around her, and then at the corner of her eye, she saw wooden crates neatly placed.

      Even the climate of the room began to change, the wind blew and Kim's hair flowed as she sprinted toward the crates. When she got there, she began to pull on every plank of the wooden box there was and was struggling to open them. The two that did open contained a bow and arrows. The bow was a plain wooden bow, nothing special, and the arrows were the same. Kim grabbed the bow and put the quiver filled with arrows on her back. As soon as the quiver was set on her back, there was a slight pause. A moment of fear that something strong was heading her way.

         She turned her body to face the other direction. There stood an unknown creature to Kim, it stood on all fours and was as big as a mobile home. Its eyes shined with red and its white body had strange black symbols along its torso. Its claws were the size of a human arm and it stood majestically facing Kim as its chains clinked together. "This monster was supposedly captured, I can tell by the cuffs and apparently It broke free since the chains are broken." Kim thought.

         She began to back peddle, unsure of what to do. She held up the bow and her other hand grabbed an arrow and she aimed at the beast. As she pulled back on the string and released. The string recoiled back and slapped Kim's forearm and the arrow completely missed the fearsome beast. At that moment the beast charged at Kim, it then lunged at her and Kim instinctively rolled out of the way. However the beast was quick, it recovered from the impact and got to Kim again.

        It's claws rose  up in the air and slashed down at Kim's leg, she let out a scream filled with complete terror and pain. Naomi paused with fear, "OH MY GOSH, I SUMMONED THE WRONG ONE! DIVOS GONNA KILL ME!" The beast lifted its other claws and began to swipe down at Kim again. Before the claws can even touch Kim, Naomi got in front and pushed its paw back. Kim stared at disbelief, the current situation looked like a car being held up by a small 5 foot tall girl. She tried to move to help Naomi however the claws contained toxin that paralyze the beast's victim. "Don't move, the more you struggle the quicker the toxins move throughout your body." Huffed Naomi as she struggled against the power of the beast. She quickly then let go with one hand and formed a fist with the other.

         Her fist glowed with a pink light , and the light progressively became brighter. She then opened her palm, and thrusted her palm at the beast's paw. The immense power produced tore off one of its limbs and Naomi knocked back from the force produced. She breathed heavily and slowly got up and held her palms out to the beast. There was so much focus in her eyes that nothing would catch her attention. The floor around the beast began to glow and metal chains shot out from the ground and wrapped around the beast massive body and chained him down. The chains then changed colors to a neon yellow and both the chains and the beast began to fade.

      Naomi picked up Kim and slowly left the room as the room began to transform itself back into the plain white room. Outside the door, Divo leaned against the wall watching Naomi walk out. "What happen." He asked concerning Kim's injury. Naomi shoved Kim into Divo's arms with anger and stormed off into her private room. He stared at her wounds, 4 deep cuts to her leg and a purple substance oozed out of the cuts. "Ahhh, get used to the pain kid." He whispered and carried her towards the infirmary. Kim moaned and unconsciously her head shifted and pressed against Divo's abs.

      I woke up in a small bed, my eyes were heavy and I couldn't feel anything from my waist and down. I was still trying to make up my surroundings, but my vision was so blurry. All I did know was that Hope was there. His shiny blonde hair swept to the side and he was tending my careless wounds. He sure does know how to take care of a girl. I then fell asleep once again.

        When I woke up Hope was there by my side and his smile warmed my heart. Naomi stood behind him with a very upset expression. "I'm so sorry Kim I summoned the wrong beast, I'm so sorry!" Naomi pleaded. "It's alright... I'm still alive and at least I know what the future is going to be like."Kim replied. Hope smiled and happily whispered in a soft tone,"Glad to have you back." Divo at the opposite side of the cold room looked upset, his expression was completely different from when I met him. He left the room and slammed the door behind him.
