Weeks past and everything didn't completely blow over.

Teresa didn't really talk to anyone and she'd go to the gun range every morning and she looked up martial arts classes that she could take.

She decided to do online school instead of going there physically. She felt like she didn't have to go to school but that was something she had to get down.

She had private lessons with her sensai that was supposedly the best. He claimed he had been trained by someone better than Bruce Lee.

His name was IP Man. At first Teresa didn't believe that he was better then Bruce Lee...I mean he's Bruce Lee.

Come to find out he has trained Bruce Lee and that's how he got so good. It was even a movie about him that Teresa would watch.

Teresa had spent what it felt like hours with her wooden dummy training.

She stepped away and took a deep breath. Her sensai looked up and frowned.

He was an old man but he still knew how to fight. "Did I tell you to stop?" He asked.

Teresa tried catching her breath. She touched her belly with the healed bullet wounds.

"I'm tired." "I'm tired of you stopping, so continue until I say stop." Teresa sighed and grabbed her water when he stopped her.

"If you don't finish the lesson then you get no water." He said. Teresa groaned and sat her water down.

After she finished her wooden dummy training she took a seat and drunk the rest of her water.

Ebisu Sensei raised a brow at Teresa. He didn't know why a young girl like her would walk up in here asking for private lessons.

She was determined and learned quickly. "Teresa?" He asked. Teresa looked up at him and raised a brow.

"What made you want to come here exactly?" He asked. He was curious. He wanted to know...well because he was nosy and because he cared about his students.

He saw the scar on the side of her face that stopped at her cheek and he noticed she kept touching the sides of her stomach.

"I have my reasons." She said. Ebisu nodded his head taking a sip of his tea.

"Would you like to talk about it?" He asked. Teresa shook her head. "No."

She stood up and walked back to the wooden dummy. It was no way she was gonna tell him it was for revenge.

"Teresa didn't come back yet?" Giovanni asked walking from downstairs.

"Nah I haven't seen her in a while." Alessio said scrolling through his phone.

Giovanni nodded his head. He wanted to surprise her for her birthday but she was never at the house.

He bought her a cheesecake and everything. Giovanni had also called Teresa but she left her phone here.
