Flash back: the wait

"Thanks for warning me" I said

"It's not everyday prince charming sweeps me off my feet"

It might have looked like I had a death wish, but he carried me, he didn't drag me, meaning he wanted me alive and unhurt, which also implied that I could continue taunting him.

"If only I could know the name of my prince charming " I sighed

"You wouldn't mind telling me your name would you? "

I was answered by silence

People were watching me as i was being carried ,i didn't like that,it would spoil my cool girl image ,whoever heard of a cool girl being carried like a sac , i had to do something quickly, if not some loosers would have the courage to approach me

"I bet it's cause you don't want to ruin your mysterious stranger appeal, it's ok if you have a squeaky voice, or if your dumb, I could do enough talking for the two of us"

I paused, that didn't get to him, most fighters don't have tolerance or patience, they would have put a rag in my mouth or made Me unconscious. I had to up my game, a good reputation is everything

"It's so romantic being carried, and you're giving me a nice view of your butt, by the way that is some awesome butt, am just gonna touch it to... "

I landed on the floor with a hard thud .

I could have been happy I got what I wanted except for the tiny little fact that almost every inch of my body was in pain

"Ouch " I groaned "you sure know how to treat a lady" I said as I stood up and dusted myself

He just continued walking without breaking stride

"Hey, wait up" I said as I ran to meet him,

"Where did you learn to walk fast like that "

Silence

"Where are we going? "

More silence

I already knew where we were going, I just wanted to tease him, it was like an itch, I couldn't help myself.

The path we were going only led to one place, the administrator building,

The administrators are part of the royals, their main duty is to supervise the fighters, they are the brains, we are the brawns, when they say jump, we say how high, they are the ones who brought up the crazy idea, that we do not need colors. They are the ones who made the rule that we should kill our parents, they say it's supposed to make us stronger .

With all the thoughts flying through my head , I forgot the main reason he was bringing me here, which was to begin my official duties

The administrator building is not where the administrators live like I earlier thought, I know this because there was a time I secretly followed my dad inside, and got lost,

I couldn't find my way out and I didn't want any adult to catch me there, so I hid, was so exhausted that I slept off, and when I woke up, the whole place was dark and lonely,

I wanted someone to find me I didn't care who and what punishment I would receive for going there, I shouted, tried tracing my way back but I fell down the stairs and woke up the next morning on my bed, under the care of a nurse.

Within my short stay there, I found out that the administrators building is a place where the fighters meet with the administrators to be given their duties, I had to find out this myself because the adults never talk about it. They think it's best we know things when the time comes, they only tell us about their skills in battle, I wasn't even supposed to know that at 13 I will kill one of my parents, I over heard my parents discussing about it and it ruined my childhood. I guess they had a reason for keeping it from everyone.
