Gone

5.

Amoura walks over to the barracks early next morning and spends her second day off sleeping in. "Hey, where did you go?" Sunit asks Amoura who was laying in bed, being lazy. Amoura explains to Sunit about her sister's arrival as she gets into her work out clothes to head to the course.

They run the course till the sun goes down. "You think you ready for tomorrow?" Sunit asks Amoura as they head to the showers.

"Yes, I do. You?"

"Considering I turned you have a slightly less flawrd version of you, yes I do feel confident," Sunit smiles confidently at her. Amoura rolls her eyes as they stretch on the ground.

The next morning, the sparring portion of the physical exams start off the day and Amoura takes down a beating right after another. The only reason she's not disqualified is because she reaches the end of the round for each injury cast upon her heals. Amoura waits till the opponent is exhausted to knock them out.

In the running portion, she gets in right before the worse score. Amoura was struggling to keep up. The third and final portion, the obstacle course that took place an hour after lunch became Amoura's favorite part.

Amoura had the lead when Shaw comes up from behind and causes Amoura to lose her footing on the mount, the way she falls with the log between her legs, causes her left tibia to become dislocated from her pelvis. Amoura yelps in pain as she hits the floor. A whistle calls the exam off and Captain Jonas rushes over to her, "No! My leg is dislocated. Please do not move me."

"Get a medic!" Captain Jonas yells.

"Recruit Shaw what was that?! That is a fellow teammate, conduct like that shows you are not ready for the next step in your military career consider yourself disqualified from the final exam!"

"What happened?" The medic asks as she looks at Stone.

"Is this another false alarm?" He asks them.

"Recruit Stone's leg is dislocated," The female medic touches Amoura side and quickly feels the bone.

"This is going to hurt Recruit."

"I figured ma'am," the medic looks at Jonas.

"Captain hold her down. I'm going to do this as fast as possible Recruit." Amoura yelps in pain as her bone is reset and a brace goes around her hips.

"We will redo the course in one hour." Amoura is carried on a backboard to the medical wing.

"That's no good she won't be running today."

"Sorry Stone you're disqualified too." Amoura sighs bitterly as she lays back down on the stretcher,

"After all that hard work," Amoura mutters.

"Hey Amoura how are you feeling?" Amoura looks over to the door and sees smiley standing there.

"Amazingly, who doesn't want to dislocate their femur from their pelvis."

"Why are you here? You don't exactly talk to me," he dips his head in shame.

"I'm sorry about that, I let the others get to me." Williams sits down on the stool by her bed.

"I heard you were disqualified," Amoura nods.

"I'll be here for sixteen more weeks, I guess it's fine I considering I barely passed the first two portions."

"So I guess I won't see you again, I got a perfect score," Amoura hits him with the pillow.

"If you're going to gloat go do it somewhere else," Amoura mutters.

The medical soldier comes in and kicks Williams out for Amoura needs an X-ray.

A few moments later Amoura is told they must reset the bone for it healed wrong.

"Great," Amoura mutters as she lays down and listens to the bone break, she breathes through the pain, passing out before they even relocate the bone.

Amoura wakes up early the next morning and sees the barracks were empty, the others must be departing already. Amoura goes and waves goodbye to Sunit.

"I'll be waiting for you!" Amoura nods and returns to the barracks, back to step one.

Sixteen weeks later Amoura returns the exam with new strength, she quickly K.O's her sparing partners, comes in first at the running portions of the exams and finishes the obstacle course in record time.

"Recruit Stone, you had the worst time in everything in our history and now you're leaving here with the best times. Congratulations. You're proof the Academy works," Captain Jones shakes her hand as Amoura thanks her for her words.

Captain Jones congratulates all those that make it under eight minutes and tell them to pack for they leave immediately.

Captain Morgan hands them papers to sign as they get on the bus, they were to turn them in when they arrive at their new location, the papers are to place them in the specialty they wanted to be in. Amoura's never really thought about where she wanted to be, she never thought she'd get this far.
