I remember when I started training. There was a lot of running involved. The first day we got paired up with someone, lucky for me it was Cara.
We practiced hand-to-hand combat, we learn basic hunting skills, like how to set up a snare trap, how to track, and we learn how and what to use to make a fire.

Once we learn all of that we finally get to choose our weapons, some of the trainees that are really good get to choose up to 5 weapons. Of course you don't know what weapons you'll be good with. So it's trial and error.

Many who arrive at the academy are as young as 7 years old the oldest someone can be to join is, 17.

Cara, Amamda, and I arrived when we were 13. Matthew was 14, Aaron at 10, and Edwin at 11. (Edwin and I discussed our relationship, we're going to remain friends, but he does have to be careful around Cara)

Ryan and I got out 5 training dummies. Ryan would be the one who will pair the newbies up, and as soon as they are done training, for the day I will take them to their cabins.

A week went by fast it was 6am and the trainees should arrive in about 25 minutes. As we were waiting in the training area, I told Ryan that I was going to get 2 more dummies. When I came back Ryan was gone. I looked around but I couldn't find him.

Then I'm tackled to the ground! I hear laughing and get up to see its Ryan.
"What happened to your skills Tess?"-
he says still laughing.

"What was that for?"

"Just fun."

"Oh really?"

This time I tackled him.
We continued our little sparring.

"Give up Ryan?"

"No" I then got him pinned down

"Give up now?"- I ask again

"No, not yet."

He distracts me for a split second, and now he has me pinned, he laughs a little and so do I, and we both realize how close our lips are.
