Sweat dripped from my face as we sparred. Back and forth, jab and block. I would pin him down, get up, and continue again. It must have been half an hour before we braked.
Not speaking a word.
I walked across the gym to my bag. That was when I realized a group had gathered to watch us. I heard the whispers as I stalked to my bag.
I took my stuff and left, not wanting to cause more attention, my looks did enough of that.
The outside air was cool, the moon shone on my face as I walked through the courtyard. It was already 8, the sparring had gone on longer than expected. People stared, as they always did, I was famous and mysterious. I actually take pride in that though, my enemies know I'm coming but don't know who to expect.
Now that's gone.
I stop to grab coffee and a donut for Erik, not talking to anyone but the cashier.
I feel a tug at my leg as I start walking to the wing by apartment is in. I look down as it happens again, bright green eyes staring up at me.
"Hey little one, I'm Rose, what's your name?" I say calmly.
A woman brushes by others quickly coming to the girl." Maddie! There you are..... Oh my god," she stutters shocked " I'm sorry, Maddie we should go."
I was shocked at how quick she was to pull the little girl away. It was almost as if I wasn't allowed to be talked to. As I turn around I spot another figure coming toward me. Someone familiar. Another person trailing behind, and guardians with them.
All of a sudden, standing before me was a angry Dragomir, a annoyed Ivashkov, some guardians, and with them another bruised and bloodied up guardian.
I didn't even realize I had let out that much anger on...
