Chapter 7: Spontaneous

"Lift that leg Anne! I want you to kick the top of the bag not the bottom. We're kicking him in the head not trying to trip the guy." Abe shouted for the hundredth time.

I gave him an annoyed glare and took a deep breath bending slightly and lifting my leg as high as I could across the bag.

Middle.

Fuck!

"Come one Anne, Alright, Bronx come here." Abe looked to Bronx, a tall squarish looking guy with eyebrows like caterpillars and a sweet smile.

Bronx smiled down at me "may I?" He asked.

I questionably nodded, and he lifted one leg swiftly kicking the chain of the bag. Oh crap...

Looking down at his legs, I eyed them and then the chain and then his smirk.

"There we go, maybe you're too short Anne..." Bronx stated measuring my height with his hand.

I looked up at him confused "But if my opponent is that tall I should be able to kick them still." I said looking to Abe who nodded in agreement.

"Alright. I got this." I said taking a deep breath and swinging my leg hard and high.

The thing is, my kicks were hard, in fact the bag was getting major blows. But again it was the middle.

Dammit.

"Try doing some splits in your dorm, just sort of stretch out." Abe said nodding as I went to sit down in shame.

One guy, Rickson, a heavy set blonde gave it a massive smack with his arm and sent that thing to a K.O. I wonder if I could use my arm instead...

Each of them proved their worth and he graded us all by how much we already knew.

For instance choking out....

"Tighter Anne!" Abe shouted as I strengthened my choke hold, Thomas pulled my arms in tighter around his neck until his face began turning red.

I smiled and held tighter until Tommy began to blankly stare and hit my hands. "Nope, Sorry Tommy but I refuse to suck at everything." I said watching him fall asleep in my arms.

As I laid him down softly, I smirked at Abe, "Not too shabby huh?" I asked giving him a half five "Good job, just remember your opponent will resist in any way. Not like Tommy." He said.

Then he looked around and pointed to Koda "Koda, come here." He gestured for him to stand behind me and I stood still letting Koda come stand behind me. "Anne, you're going to be choked out. Don't be afraid and try your best to stay as calm as possible. It's important that you all experience this in case it ever happens and you need to remain calm." He stated gesturing for me to take a deep breath.

Koda smiled down at me "Nothing personal." He stated jokingly, and my fear just rose immensely. "You sure you don't just want payback for me turning you down?" I spoke low so only we could hear.

He slowly wrapped his arm around my neck, "I'm sure Lise." He said tightening his grip.

I forced myself to remain calm, to prove myself because I damn well need to with how horrible my kicking skills are.

Spots began to fill my sight and I looked around nervously fighting my own fear before taking a deep breath and hearing Abe say "Goodnight Anne."

Sleep over took me, and I drifted into a new world, one I've been avoiding for a while.

"You failed me, you said I'd have her. It's been long enough, I demand her blood!" The mans voice was deep and thick with hatred. He was furious and although his face was blurred I knew he was someone of very high status.
