Pain (Danti) UNDER EDITING

Chapter 14

My room didn't have a window or a clock, so I had no sense of time. Fox was already in my room sharpening a knife on a rock while she waited for me. She seemed tense and maybe upset but I didn't ask. Instead, I got ready for the day, throwing on a plain black t-shirt and black jeans. I didn't do anything else besides that. Fox handed me a pair of shoes which I quickly slipped on. By then Fox was rushing me out the door. 

The training room wasn't packed, which I would think it would. Fox had me start with seven hundred sit-ups. 'Because I need abs' was her answer when I asked why. Yesterday she paid close attention to me. Waiting for a moment to mess me up. But today she was on her phone. Angrily typing at the screen. She didn't even glance at me. When I finished the sit-ups she made me do eight hundred pushups. 

It took a while but I managed to finish the pushups. I was about to ask Fox what I was supposed to do next. Until I saw the single tear roll down her cheek. She was staring at her phone in shock. Her mouth gaping open. Something clicked inside her and she was on her knees. Crumbling to the ground in pain. 

I kneeled down next to her. Holding her close to me, feeling bad that she was in pain. Fox burrowed her head into my shoulder sobbing loudly. Her wet tears soaked through my shirt, tickling my skin. She cried and cried. Never getting out all that pain that was burrowed inside of her. Finally, she pulled back trying to wipe away the falling tears. 

"I'm sorry Anti. I'm a mess today," She sniffled. Fox tried to wipe more to the tears but it was no use. 

I set my hand on her shoulder, "Don't worry about it, now tell me why you're crying." 

"My boyfriend, he uh, broke up with me," Tears fell faster from her eyes, "He said that he didn't want to be with a killer," She tried to hold back the tears that wanted to fall. 

I frowned, "Shame on that guy. You will find someone that won't care what you do, they will love you for you. I promise, one day you'll find someone that's right for you," I consoled. Fox gave me a weak smile, standing up from the ground. She rubbed her eyes, trying to snap out of her sadness. 

"Well enough of all of my bull, back to training. You need to work on your backflipping skills," She gave me another smile. But I knew she was breaking inside.

----------------------------

Four hours later I master my backflipping skills. Already moving on to another trick, but we were cut off by Fox's phone ringing. She told me to practice fips while she took the call. I did what I was told, front flipping for fun. Five minutes later Fox came back grumbling about something. She was still on the phone, snapping at the person on the line. I looked at her curiously, but she just hung up on the person. She gave me the world's fakest smiles.

"The Boss wants to meet you. We will cut training short today and continue on tomorrow," I nodded pulling on my shoes. 

Fox had me follow her out of the training room. We walked through the long corridors to a different section of the base. She lead me to an elevator, pressing a button then swiped a card in a little slot. The elevator dinged while a little light came above it. The door opened, allowing us to enter. Fox and I stayed silent as the elevator zoomed up towards the correct floor. We exited the elevator right as a crowd of people crowded inside, cheering as it closed. I shrugged, not thinking too much about it. 

I was lead to a door in the back of the floor. A single door was only back here, nothing else. Fox knocked on the door three times, a faint 'come in' came from the inside. She opened the door revealing a man who was staring out the window. He turned as we entered, giving a wide, toothy smile.

"Anti! Glad that we can finally meet," The guy chirped. 

"Nice to meet you too sir," I replied. 

He pointed at the chair in front of his desk. The door clicked behind me as Fox scurried from the room. Leaving the guy and me alone. I sat down in the chair, nervously looking at this guy. He settled in the chair across from me. Setting his hands on his desk with a smirk. 

"Hello Anti, my name's Josh. I'm the founder of this lovely place."

"Hello Josh," I politely spoke.

He smiled, "Fox should have told you that you were training to become an assassin. Right now we only have five, when you complete your training you will become the sixth one. As you also know you will be going to school as well. If Fox didn't tell you, you will be attending the local demon high school. She will be attending the school with you. Any questions?" 

"No sir," I responded.

"Very good you are dismissed," Josh stated turning around to look out the window.

I left the office to head back to my room.

---------------------

(2 month time skip due to I'm too lazy to write all of that.)

Today was the last day of training. After two whole months of training, I learned well over one hundred different moves. Also learning over one hundred and fifty different commands that we use in missions. Starting tomorrow I will be attending the demon high school. Fox explained my classes and how she will help me throughout the day. I was scared of what was going to happen, but at the same time excitement bubbled up inside me.
