The Mind Trap.

Mastered.

" I can't learn how to use a gun in a day, you know?" I said, contemplating whether my response was true or false.

" That's what you think." Abuelo said, his lips twitching up into a devious smirk.

" You're literally the craziest person I ever met." I ranted like a little girl, rolling my eyes and crossing my hands firm over my chest, still holding the gun and knife in my hands.

" You're going to learn! Don't you want to help Jake, your best friend slash brother or have you forgotten that? Plus it's not your choice anyways. I'm going to teach you if it's the last thing I do! Now come on we're going to the backyard!" He said. His voice loud and firm as he gets a little tempered with my stubborn behaviour.

I sighed, not wanting to reply and started to walk right behind him as we both walked out of the room.

He pressed something on the wall and the door came back into place. There's not even a crease in the wall that shows that a door was there, it's completely camouflage.

"Hold your hands straight infront of you and pull back this part of the gun." He said, instructing me on what to do. I only know about this from movies, but I never thought this would happen in real life.

This feels so exciting honestly. I feel so empowered. The adrenaline pumping through my body, the eagerness and excitement overflowing in my stomach. That's a good sign right?

A shiver ran down my spine and I let out a deep breath. My eyes wide open as I get ready to shoot at the target.

A loud shot went off when I pull the trigger and I didn't even flinch as I look at the target realizing I had just shot the center.

My eyes widen further, so wide open that if it opens anymore I'm afraid that it will roll straight out of it's sockets.

" Good job. Now again." Grandpa commanded and I followed but this time I didn't let out a deep breath nor did a shiver ran down my spine and I pulled the trigger once again hitting the center of the circular target before he instructed me to do it over two more times.

" Good now let's go inside." Grandpa said heading straight towards the patio door and pulling it open as I tailed right behind him.

If he was watching me intently he would have saw a flash of power that passed through my eyes and the smirk that play on my face. In my head, while walking I did a little happy dance for a moment until I almost walked into the door.

I pulled it open and went inside closing the door behind me and ran over to him as he started to walk faster heading to the attic.

When I was younger he had forbidden me from going in there but now it's my chance to figure out what up there. The question I've been dying, asking myself for years.

He opened the door and the sight that greeted me was a complete shock.

My eyes open wide in amazement as he turned around to watch me. My mouth hung down my face, if it went anymore it would have dropped to the ground.

" Are you going to stand there forever or come in?" He asked, signaling for me to enter.

"A-am w-wow!" I stuttered loudly as I entered the room as he closed the door behind me.
