You will be reading as Aly the entire chapter.
Tomorrow I will get answers, and I will finally get out of this terrible room. The room started to smell terrible after the death and all the tears. I didn't want to train at all, but I guess I don't have a choice. I already know how to throw a punch and put up a fight, but not for long. The only reason I know how to fight is because of school. Everyday I would have to deal with mean kids saying awful stuff, like how much they wanted to kill me. One day I was trying to get off the bus and the kid threw a punch at me, on instinct I punched him back. Only I got in trouble, but the kid never tried anything again. I knew then that if that were to happen again I would have to learn how to fight better. So I did everyday after I got home I would train. Sometimes it takes a mountain to get over, to dedicate you to try harder. It soon was morning, I didn't get much sleep though. The bed in here is rock solid, I was also very anxious to get out of here. So I changed into the clothes he gave me yesterday, they were cute but in all black. I heard the door unlock, and saw Toby come in."Before you leave there is a lot I have to tell you." "First things first there are a lot of nasty cold hearted people here like Edward,some of them would kill you just for fun." "Be careful and don't ever be out here past 1am, that's when the shadow creatures come out." Are those the things that tried to kill me on the first day I died? "Yes, they are the lost souls, they are the ones that Edward has experimented with." "It's terrible what he does to his own people." Wait so are we inside or outside? "We are inside the main fortress, the one where Edward keeps people he deems important." "However some of those people are as nasty and cruel as him." "I will be your bodyguard until you learn to fight better, otherwise bad stuff could happen." Ok, can we go now? "Yeah", he said laughing. "But before we go to code you need to say to the door is 6772." Ok, so I can leave my room at anytime then? "Yeah, but be careful, and don't go out between 1am-3am that's when the creatures of night come out." After that he lead me down a series of hallways, I don't think i'll remember how to get back. I didn't really care, it was nice to be out of my room. We finally got there though, there were all sorts of weapons and equipment in there. The room was huge too, it also had way better lighting than my smelly room did. "Punch me as hard as you can." What no, I might hurt you! "It's fine, I have been hurt way worse than you could possibly imagine." Alright then, and I punched him as hard as I could, he didn't seem hurt but shocked. "Geez I didn't expect you to hit that hard, some guys here can't even do that." I accidentally snorted when I was trying to laugh. We both just ended up laughing harder for a few minutes. Training was finally over and I felt like I was dying. See you tomorrow I said smiling. He just shook his head smiled and left. But my room was totally different when I got back. There was a bed, better lighting, a bathroom, there was even a window. But then I saw stupid Edward. Did you do this? "It appears so." Why, I asked scared to know the answer. "It's a welcoming gift because you survived a whole week here, although your kids didn't", he laughed. I hate you! "Well that's too bad because this is your home weather you like it or not." "Also that's not the respect I should be getting from my Wife." I am not your wife any more! You took away everything I loved from me, and i'll never get any of it back! I hate you! "Shut up! You will follow my orders, i am your ruler and you will do as I say!" "There is a dress for you in your closet and you will have dinner with me and my guest." No! I don't want to, I can't even look at you without wanting to vomit! I then saw anger radiating off of him, he got up and slapped me across the face. I yelped in pain, there would for sure be a bruise. Wh--what happened to you, I said trying to hold back tears. "I've always been this way, you have just been to blind to see it." Yeah, I guess so. "I will send Toby down here to get you when it's time." After he said that he slammed the door angrily. How could I not have seen this side of him? I always thought he was the most kind hearted person in the world, guess I was wrong. I looked on the bed and saw a beautiful form fitting blue dress. It didn't have any sleeves and it went down just above my knee, it was so pretty though. I then saw red high heels on the floor, I better wear these too. So I put them on and nearly tripped because I hadn't worn high heels that tall in a while. Why do I have to meet Edwards stupid guest, why can't he just leave me alone. As long as I sit through this stupid dinner without killing someone I will be fine. But it will be hard. I then saw toby enter, as soon as he saw me he looked at me like he was sorry for me, he was also blushing a little bit. "Ready to go?" No, I don't even know who the guest is. "Yeah, it's best to stay away from him, he is a really bad person." Well that's just great, I said sarcastically. "Yeah, I feel really bad for you, but there is no way you can get out of this." Whatever, I just want to get this over with. When we arrived in the dining hall I saw edward, and an older guy, he looked to be in his early fifties. "I have to go now, be careful", toby whispered. And then he vanished down the hallway. "Ahh there she is, my beautiful wife", Edward said in a tone warning me not to talk back. It took all my urge to smile and sit next to him. "This is Aly, Aly, this is Rye." I smiled and said hello, getting a good look at the guy, let me tell you he was hideous. He smiled back showing off his disgusting rotted teeth. I wanted to laugh just looking at him. He was wearing a bright green jumpsuit with a hat that covered up his nasty looking hair. I was about to laugh but Edward gave me a cold look, so I decided to hold it in as best as I could. So what will we be discussing today? Then Rye replied with,"Oh i'm sorry but only the men will be speaking." Oh, I said wanting to smack him across the face so hard it sent him to the moon. They went on talking about all the people they murdered. It made me sick that they took pride in that. I sat there awkwardly cause apparently "only the men can speak", god that was the most sexist thing i've ever heard someone say. Finally the food arrived, and I ate it down in seconds. Then Rye had the nerve to say,"Now that's not very ladylike." And oh boy I snapped. Oh i'm so sorry you sexist ass pig, but I wasn't trying to please you, in fact i've never once tried to please someone with a brain the size of a pea. Both him and Edward looked at me like I had just killed a cat. And then out of the blue Rye said,"come over here and let me kiss that nasty language out of you." WTFFFF, hell naw, I thought this to myself. "Well, you heard him", Edward yelled at me. Your okay with this?! Also I will not! Then the worst thing happened Rye got up and started to kiss me! Hell no, I screamed. I then punched him across the face and ran out crying. I could hear them shouting but I didn't care, there was no way I was going back in there. Then I saw Toby, I didn't want to see him right now, I just couldn't. "Are you okay," he said concerned." Leave me alone. I was about to go back to my room, but I saw a bar on the way there. You know what, i'll just get so wasted I forget about this horrible evening. And I did just that. Toby must have saw because he came running in looking mad and concerned. "What are you doing?" Danccccing lollllzzz. "Please tell me your not drunk." Hahaha whattt doess that even meannn. "Come on I will take you to your room." Or not, I said looking him in the eyes. Then I kissed him, he was surprised at first but then did it back. "You need to go to your room now." Okay dad, I said laughing. The next thing I knew it was morning and it was time to train. I was excited to see Toby after what happened yesterday. I made my way to the room, and saw him deep in thought. Well hey, I said happily. "We must get training right away, we don't have time to be foolish." What got you mad this morning? "Nothing, i'm always like this." No, your not you were nicer to me. Especially after yesterday. So what's the matter? "Just drop it okay!" He yelled at me, I don't know what his problem was but I decided to let it go. It was like this for the next few days. I was getting restless sleep, and I realized I broke the one rule I had set for myself, not to catching feelings for anyone again. It was already 11pm and I just couldn't sleep, so I went out to the balcony, it was just a little bit to walk until I got there. Then I realized who was there, Toby was standing there looking lost in thought as usual. He didn't even realize I was there until I sneezed on accident. "Oh, hello." That's all you have to say?! "Well what else is there to say?" Why are you doing this? "Doing what?" Oh idk, been ignoring and avoiding me for the past week! Ever since I kissed you, you have been so distant and cold. "You don't understand." I don't understand what, the fact you are being distant?! The fact you chose to work with a terrible person like Edward?! "Stop!" "I do this all because I care about you too much!" "And I can't get close to you or Edward will kill us both!" "But do you know how hard it is to stay away from you!" "Everything I do is because I care!" "I won't be able to live with myself because I got you killed over my own greed." I kissed him, because he looked so pained yelling that all at me. We will find a way to make it work. "Hopefully, because i've been going insane trying to stay away for all these years." Wait what do you mean all these years, i've only known you a month. "I will tell you tomorrow, it's too much to explain now." Okay, I will see you then, and I left happy knowing I finally got some answers.
Authors note:
First of all id like to say that the bullying story in this is true. I would always be threatened, and spit at and one day, I had enough. Now I am not by any means saying violence is the answer, in fact it isn't. I just didn't know what to do when that happened. Second of all Assault is also a problem happening right now too. It is such a terrible thing that is happening, and it needs to be stopped. Sexism is also just as bad and can go both ways, not just guys can be sexist. The world needs to work together to put an end to these problems. If you ever see any of those things happening be sure to step in, or report that to the proper authorities.

Also please note the character Aly has nothing to do with me(the author Aly). It's kind of weird writing my name for this story, but whatever. So yeah, the character is not based off of me(Aly). Thank you :)
