Angelwood Academy

Part 15

--MY GOD! 100 READS ALREADY?!?!?? HOLY SHIT!--

I was rocking my head to the sound of the music. I was in the gym section waiting for Gear to finish his training session. He really was a body builder. My gaze followed his every movement. He was swift in his moves. He was rather graceful in his punches, kicks and weight lifting. He was training melee at the moment. He had a tiny dagger in his hand pointed outwards as he was swinging trying to cut open the chest or the nose on the training dummy. I felt weak against him. And I was weak. I was weaker than almost everyone here. I hated to fight but sometimes I had to. When Gear wasn't around I had to protect myself from the wrath of Dante. Dante sucked, he was an ass to me all the time. He seemed to hate when I was communicating with Gear. Why I didn't know. I loved Gear, and he loved me. I saw that Gear was on the verge of ripping the dummy's throat out. I shrugged and went back to listening to music. I hated when I had to wait. Waiting, waiting and waiting. I knew that it would take time for Elijah to get into the academy. I wasn't looking forward to it. He would probably have more fun back at home with his music and mystic messenger. I didn't notice Kyera and Mark who were sitting beside me. "Waiting for the boyfriend to get out of his training?" Mark said and I jumped atleast 1 inch from my seat. I shrugged and calmed down "I guess.. He seems mad at something.." Kyera looked at me with worry in her eyes. Did she know that I had listened to their conversation? I looked at her arms. One of them had a slight mark going down into her skin, I would guess that was where he had bitten down. I heard a scream and jerked my head around to look at Gear. There was dust everywhere. When it cleared Gear was on the floor clutching his head. I stood up to rush down to him but Mark grabbed my arm and shook his head and said "let him get his rage out. He needs it." And as perdicted his ghoulish side came out. He started to fling around stuff. Thanks to a barrier that protected the viewing site they came back at him and he flinged them away again. Kyera sighed and said "I feel like I need to tell you why he is so mad.." I looked at her and she pointed back to the exit.

I was sitting with a cup of tea in my hands listening to Kyera "So, he was abused a lot by his father, since he hated him and loved his sister Nikki. He craved for sexual favors from her." I stared at her. She only nodded sadly and conrtinued "He started trying to break his sanity by torturing. If he got crazy enough he would be allowed to kill him." I felt my heart break a bit, so this is why he gets mad out of nowhere. "Nikki was the one going insane but he refused to kill her and wanted to kill him. After a while he ran. I don't know the rest." I nodded feeling my heart aching. Had his sister been sexually used by his own father? I gained courage enough to ask "Where was his mother?" she shrugged "from what I hear she died in childbirth." I felt the tears dwelling up in my eyes. I felt ache in my heart, I had felt this before but from where I couldn't remember. I needed to find Gear. I stood up and left the cup and ran to find him. I found him sitting on a bench with his head in his hands. I sat down beside him and whispered "need a hug?" he nodded lightly and I hugged him. I never thought that his feelings would come up to the surface. I was rubbing his back, trying to comfort him. Today was not his day.
