  Felicia's P.O.V

  Limping out of the bathing rooms, Sakura and Lumi glance over towards me cautiously. An ominous aura seeped out of the very being that is my soul as we headed our cabin. I couldn't help the Italian profanities that flew out of me as we neared the cabin, the glaring crowd seemingly turning away as they caught the anger that rolled off of me in the form of tsunamis.

  Sakura and Lumi were standing guard at both my left and at my right. They were lucky, yet I just seemed fucking doomed, didn't I?

  Someone stole my clothing and I couldn't be more enraged! I was marching back to my cabin with what little dignity I had left. Over the last few days, the four lucky cadets had been targeted in a sorts of ways for doing someone simple that the other blundering idiots of this camp couldn't. Sakura was constantly bullied when Lumi and I weren't around and everyone would talk about Lumi behind her back. As for I? They committed the cruelest crimes! Stealing my clothing, ruining my food, pranking me childishly, and I'm at my wits end over all of it!
 
  Stomping through the cabin door, I was relieved to find no one but Belinda and Helice roaming around. I'd become friends with them but they were quite reserved. They noticed my distress and rushed over immediately.
  "Wh't h'pp'n'd?" Belinda questioned curiously, wrapping an arm around me and rushing me over to Sakura and I's trunk.

  "Someone pulled a prank! They're usually not this bad but they went too far! Why don't the counselors ever notice!" Lumi snarled, holding a towel up for me to change and not reveal my private areas to any perverts. I quickly began to cloth myself, halfway through, we received an unpleasant unsurprise.

   "Notice what exactly?" A stern German tone, causing goosebumps to form along my creamy, soft skin. Monika. Damn it! I hadn't spoken a word and my immediate snarl shut everyone up before they could inform her of our misfortunes.

  "Its none of your business!" I growl, my Italian accent stronger than usual as I pulled a tank top over my head and slid my arms through the sleeveless openings. Tying the string from around my waist tightly, I turn around to find everyone's shocked expression.

  In a few days, a lot could happen. Everyone at Camp was cautious of the intimidating Blonde, she didn't scare me because she never gave me a reason to be scared but everyone shivers and trembles at her arrival. She pointed at Sakura, Helice, Berlinda, and Lumi and motioned her head to the door with a gentle snarl on her beautifully rosy li- NOT NOW GAY THOUGHTS!!!!

  Pushing those thoughts out of my heads, the four of them practically tripped on their way out of the door, Sakura shifting the bottom lock to ensure that no one would interrupt the personal meeting.

  "Alright," Monika begins, softly walking closer. "What really happened?"

  I cast a harsh glare at the bombshell but let it falter as her gentle, azure orbs collide with my own honey ones, "There's not reason for you to know. It doesn't matter and it never will."

  Her lips purse defiantly and I turn away, refusing to glance into her eyes once more. She has a dangerous power to make my knees weak with a single expression. It isn't fair but what can I do? I've fallen desperately, almost pitifully.

  The warm contact of Monika's steady hand anchoring me to the world, brings me back out of my thoughts, and I can't help looking back towards her. "Actually, it does matter. It matters to me more than anyone else in the world. And it always will."

  Shrugging the anchor off, I crawl away and climb the ladder to my bunk. I collapse, sighing deeply as my back hits the cool mattress, what was that even supposed to mean. I don't get much time to decipher what her message really meant though, because in seconds, she's hoisted herself up onto the sheets, laying down besides me. Her left arm wraps itself around my waist, pulling me closer to her luscious form, while her right arm slides underneath my head to cushion my skull. Another one of her legs wrapping around my own, as well.

  "Well, I was just humiliated, bet you wouldn't know what that feels like," I begin, softly. My eyes lock onto hers as I lean closer into her warmth. "It's been happening for a while now, even since Lumi, Sakura, Lovi, and I succeeded at your first test. We've been harassed by the whole camp! Well... not all, but practically all. It's horrendous and I can't take much more!"

  Her wonderfully blue eyes widen as she realizes everything she hadn't before and immediately begins to ramble, "Felicia! You mean they've been bullying you!? Of course I know how that feels like! You should've told me! I would've taken care of it, if I had known since it started, you wouldn't have lost your dignity today! Sie wurden nicht deinen kostbaren Korper gesehen haben!"

  "Wha?" I start, genuinely confused by the fluent German language that flowed out of her lips before address another more important issue, "Wait, you said you know what it feels like? Were you once bullied?" Her powerful gaze faltered, making her appear as if she really was 19 instead of a much more mature age.

  "I'm only telling you this because I trust you, more than I've trusted anyone in a long time... Yes, when I was a child, I was constantly bullied and harassed. Back then, I was shy, never spoke much, and was so weak I had the strength of a malnourished, abused, baby. Then, my sister took notice and stood up for me. When she did so, I realized just how much of a burden I was to her as she began to come to my rescue over and over again. Now, I'll never allow someone to trouble themselves for my well being. I simply won't stand for it. Unfortunately for you, you can't stand up against them all. Especially when they ambushed you while you were showering."

   "I never would've guessed... I'm sorry you had to go through that," easing into Monika's embrace, her eyes light up and the arm around my waist only pulls me closer before sensually rubbing circles into the small of my back. 

  "You don't have to apologize, I just felt you had a right to know. I trust you more than I should."

  "I know, I just feel better knowing you have my sympathies. You don't need to help, reall-" Almost immediately, Monika cuts me off.

  "I can swear upon my life that I'll take care of it. Do you trust me?" Leaning forward, our foreheads clashing sweetly.

  "I trust you."
