The Academy

Chapter 1

The final exam arrived, me and the other wolves were first up. I was selected first. I blazed through the running, weight pulling and lifting courses. The climbing and jumping I was slower at. Being as quiet as a feather was easy. I used the available guns to shoot all the dummies in the heads and I finished with five minutes as my time. It was painful but I became numb to the sting. 

At Lunch Hour, an announcement was made.
"We found parents of some of you, the former students of WRHS and their siblings or cousins step forwards," twenty of us stood and made our way up. I stood next to my sisters. We haven't seen our parents in months now.
"May Silin, Mania Silin, you're father and mother are desperate to see you. Are you ready to face them?" The guard asked.
"Yes, sir," we said in a calm voice. The two of them walked in with blindfolds on. Some guards took them off, the two people who raised us stared at us in horror. Our stern faces, soulless eyes, muscular builds and our behavior was bewildering to them.
"M? Mani?" our mother asked. Mania and I didn't react. Those names were not ours. We've shed them to become better.
"May?! Mania?!" Carlos, our stepfather, yelled at us. We reacted to our real names.
"Yes, sir?" Us two asked in unison. They were stunned.
Our mother grabbed Mania's shoulders, "What did they do to my little girls?!" She yelled.
"Mania Silin, defend yourself," a guard ordered. Mania followed through with it by uppercutting our mother and kicking her away before retreating to her stiff stance again. "Excellent, soldier," she was praised. He looked at me, "May Silin, assist the injured,"
I nodded, "Yes, sir," I spoke as I walked to the fallen woman and picked her up in the instructed manner. "No wounds, sir. Only a bruise forming, sir," I said without a hint of emotion.
"Well done, soldier," the guard smirked at me.
I set her down when she yelled at me to do so. Suddenly, I went flying across the Dining Hall.
"Sir, she was not ordered by higher elements to do that action. If I am incorrect, I take responsibility, sir," Mania spoke to the guard as I stood.
She was whipped in her face for incorrect behavior that night. It was the first strike that drew blood.
"Get her out of here," the guard grimaced as she was dragged out of the pure white room, the floor colored red from her blood.
Me and my sister were given the chance to look after our parents, I selected our father. So Mania was left with our mother.
"Why do they treat you like this?" My biological male parent asked me.
"This is not wrong, Father. It is the rules. And we must follow through or be punished like Mari was an hour and forty-seven minutes ago. These make us stronger," I explained.
"W-what was her punishment?" He was genuinely worried for his third daughter.
"Ten whip lashes to her face. She showed a defiant of the rules, defied the code of conduct and acted without order. If anything, they were going easy with her punishment," I took a sip of my freshly brewed tea. He was shocked that those whip lashes to the face was going easy on her.
"It was her first strike in the system. Four more slip ups and the soldier closest to her murders her in front of all soldiers in this facility block," I sighed with my eyes closed before folding my hands over my lap.
"Are you serious?! I'm not letting you kill your sister like that! This is wrong!" He snapped at me.
The speaker came through in my quarters, "May Silin, restrain aggressive man," I was ordered. I swiftly stood and obeyed the assignment I was given. Guards came in and carried the man out of my quarters.
"What have you done to my child?! Answer me!" He blasted. The door closed and I finished my tea before undressing and resting for the night.
