The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 9

ISA POINT OF VIEW

These few days came by in a blur. I spent these past few days in the training room 24/3. I trained in there, slept in there, and ate in there. I had to train myself mentally and physically. Right now, physically is beating mentally. How do you train yourself mentally? I spent so much time in there that there came a point where Ethan would drop off lunch and dinner since I don't eat breakfast.

I'm a little nervous I haven't heard what our mission is because I haven't been inside the house in three whole days, but it felt like a life time. The training room is right outside the house, which I find very soothing when I hear nature calls. The birds, tree leaves as the wind hits them, even wolf howls sometimes at the day time, but mainly at night. Every time I hear a wolf howl I think of our call we have, and how I wouldn't call him to help me off the bed. That felt like a week ago, but it was several weeks ago.

Feeling embarrassed a little as I think about the memory. I quickly brush it off and head to the house feeling both anxious and nervous.

As I walk in the first thing that hits me is breakfast. I may not eat breakfast, but breakfast foods is one of the best foods out of all three meals and I get that food the least amount of all three. You should eat breakfast! Today is a big day. Usually I'll argue with myself, but I'm right I need to eat and besides my stomach seems to agree.

I walk into the kitchen and see Ethan holding his head up with his elbow his head dropping dangerously close to his pancakes and syrup. If I don't wake him up now his face will be covered in pancake and syrup. Is it bad that I sort of want to see that? Ignoring that last comment I yell in his ear "WAKE UP!" I know it's awful to yell in his ear, but me and my friend use to do that to each other in the foster home everyday up to the point where she got adopted.

I wonder who adopted her? Is she still alive? We never shown each other our expiration dates because we both had bad ones. When I say bad I mean 'die young.'

Ethan jolts up and looks around. Since he's awake I grab a plate and grab myself the last two pancakes and drown them in syrup. Apparently, Ethan didn't see me because he turns around having his fire sword in his hand pointing it straight to my heart. "Wow, aren't you just a ray of sun shine when you wake up?" I say amused. Usually you wouldn't find that funny I mean it's a sword pointing straight toward your heart!, but let's face it, it's not like I haven't done that to him before only in training of course. He vanishes his sword and sits back down rubbing his face.

That's the nice thing about having ice and fire powers because you can do the usual which is shoot fireballs or ice shards create storms pertaining to your power, but you can also create your own weapon. Most people go with swords, but me it was down to three choices: boomerang, bow and arrows, and sword. I chose the sword because it'll be easier for Ethan to train me that way, but when I master the sword technique I will go back to master those weapons as well.

"Hello Isa?!" That was half between a demand and a question. I don't know which one though. "Yes?" He shouts "why would you wake up someone like that!" I know. I see my wrong it was just out of habit. I lower my gaze, but to look at my pancakes. They look so good. Could I eat then tell you? No, just get it over with. "I use to do it with a friend in the foster home when one of us overslept." I sit at the opposite side of Ethan as usual and devour my pancakes.

I proud to say it took me two minutes to eat those pancakes. I look over to Ethan who has a half look of disgust and surprise.

There was just silence. And silence. And silence for the past thirty minutes doing nothing except staring at our food we ate and each other. Finally having enough I thought he would tell me already, but no.
