Chapter Ten

Pain

Jesses POV-

"Jesse, get up. It's time again." Josef spoke to me.

Quickly I sat up and got out of the bed. Groggily I walked to the door. Josef unlocked and opened the door for me, "You show definite signs of improvement. We must add on one more training exercise."

"What would that be?" I questioned.

"Joanna will be training with you today. You will have me and Cameron later for weaponry combat and then you and Cameron for agility."

"Will this take up my whole day?"

"No. But you will feel a bit of pain for today." He paused. "Let's just hope you have a high tolerance for pain."

"What?" I stopped backing up a bit.

Josef stopped and turned toward me. "Jesse. Don't do anything stupid. If you run I will catch you. Please don't make me do it."

"Yes." I said sorrowfully continuing to walk with him. I wouldn't be able to run anywhere anyway. I don't even know elevate the exit is...

I followed him and he lead me into a room with Joanna. There was an empty chair in the middle of the room. We walked in and Joanna gave me a cold stare as he smirked. I swallowed hard.

"Please, sit." Josef motioned kindly.

"Yes, sir." I choked. Truly I hated saying 'yes, sir'.

I sat down in the chair and Josef lightly massaged my shoulders and then patted them. I tensed at the touch of another man. I liked Josef as a friend but he is acting weird today.

Joanna came up to me and put a blade to my throat making my head sink back into the hard wooden chair. Josef came over with cloth and pinned my arm down as he started to tightly wrap the cloth around my wrist to the chair. I went to go move my free hand and Joanna put the blade to my throat harder. I stopped moving my arm and slowly set it back down. A tight knot was formed on my left wrist and Josef wrapped the other the same way.

I squirmed a bit in my chair as Josef came over and spread open my legs. I jerked back and he moved my leg back to match the leg of the chairs and tied both my legs down to the chair.

"What the hell!" I said.

"Oh this is gonna be fun..." Joanna smirked as I saw him pull out his other hand from behind his back. Metal surrounded his fingers. Brass to be specific. Yes, he had brass knuckles on. My heart sank and started to skip a few beats. I looked up at Joanna as Josef started to step back to the edge of the room.

"Joanna. We will not be using weaponry today. Fists should do."

"What!? You're crazy!" I said squirming in my chair.

Joanna approached me and cracked his knuckles.

"Now, Jesse," He began. "Who are you." He asked.

"What the fuck kind of question is that!?" I asked.

"Wrong" Josef said.

Joanna chuckled and raised his arm swinging at my cheek. The force of the blow threw my head to the side. I faintly tasted blood in my mouth as my cheek bone stung with hot pain.
