THE KORA CHRONICLES: Her Chosen Fate

Lesson #2: CATCH $ HOLD

I woke up to the sound of a knock on my door....I opened my eyes and and looked at my watch... Damn...it was still going back wards....I sat up and looked at myself on my dressing mirror....I looked like hell with my hair messed up like a bird's nest....what the hell happened....Jeeez....a coconut rendered me unconscious... A damned coconut and Luna....i darted for the mirror to look for any huge bump or something.... But there was nothing...nothing to mark that I had been hit by a coconut....I started thinking if there was any possibility that it didn't hit me...was it possible that I had imagined it and went into shock...a knock on the door grabbed my attention again...

"Come in" I said loudly

Lucretia walked in and stood behind me

"You're minutes late for your training Zara"she said
"Did I get hit by a coconut yesterday??"I asked not turning around
"Yes" she said trying not to laugh...

I didn't blame her if it was anybody else I would've laughed my guts out...

"Okay"I said turning away from the mirror

She gave me a curt nod and waited outside as I got dressed in my Alladin trouser which I realized was quite comfy and a top...I had no idea who undressed me yesterday and got me into a night dress but I sure as hell didn't want to find out or I would have a panic attack every time I see that person...I walked out of my room and Lucretia led the way out...though now I knew exactly where to turn and where to go...I had become familiar with the fortress I think....I went down the steps and as always found Mulan waiting.... Only this time she was with Luna and Fiona...they glanced up at me and Fiona smiled first...I returned her smile and stood a step above them

"You're late"Mulan said
"Thanks to my first teacher for knocking me out with a coconut" I snapped turning towards Luna

Who only smiled

"Did I??"she asked innocently "don't see any mark" she added
"The green sister might have managed to take care of it ....like the way they did with Jay"I said
"No darling....that is your power to heal....nobody did anything to relieve your pain....you did it on your own"Luna said

I frowned at her....

"How"
"Don't ask me ....I'm not a Koran..."She said

I clicked my tongue and turned away to see Jay walking towards me

"Are you okay"he asked
"Fine I guess"
"I'm so sorry"
"She should be"

I turned to Luna and glared at her...she shrugged and sheathed her blade

"I don't think you'll get hit by a coconut today....right "Jay said turning towards Luna
"That's if she pays attention"Luna said
"You'll be fine "Jay said

I nodded even though we both knew I won't be fine...in fact I was far from fine....let Alone good at all.....Mulan walked away with Jay while I moved along with Fiona and Luna

"So what is it today"I asked trailing behind them
"Catch"Luna said
"Aren't we done with that yet?"I whined
"You're still catching like a toddler.... You need to strengthen your hand"she said

And now I regretted not ever going to gym...it would've done me wonders now.....

"Today...you catch and hold"Fiona said

Okay so Luna was the catch teacher and Fiona the hold teacher now how do you really teach somebody how to hold....couldn't wait to find out....I stood before them as they stood a few feet away from me....Luna threw me a coconut and I caught it.....I threw her the "you're so not getting me today"look and waited

"Don't drop it "Fiona said
"Okay"I said shrugging

Luna threw another coconut and I caught it with my other free hand....
