Survivor

Chapter 21 - The Beginning of a Long Summer

        BAM!       

        The slamming of the front door woke me up, surely waking up everyone else in the house as well.

        The clock on my end table showed it was only five in the morning.

        Getting up, I walked to a window that showed the front yard and saw a dark haired muscular guy getting into a black SUV. He got in the back showing that there are other people in the jeep besides the driver.

        That must be my new foster brother, joy.

        I can feel eyes looking at me but the windows are tinted so I'll never know.

        Shrugging it off I walked back to my room and fell back to sleep until noon.

        I stretched while still laying in bed and laid there for a while. I stared at the white ceiling above me with a completely blank and empty mind. 

       I feel like an empty zombie, a human being with nothing left to live for who can turn on the people they are around because they feel nothing and don't care. They can't think or control themselves over time.

        Rolling off the bed I walked into the bathroom, went pee, and took a shower. I walked in a 'u' into my closet and put on a pair of sweats and a high neck, loose shirt then walked out of the room.

        The house is silent, incredibly silent, well they are the king and queen they can't sit at home all day.

        I went down the stairs, through some halls, and into the kitchen. Getting myself some toast and didn't bother to sit down to eat it. Walking out of the kitchen started to walk down halls and explore this house.

        Though I call it a house it's not, it's a mansion. Although mansions can be a house, a house isn't always a home. I know that Elizabeth and James try to be the best parents the house is missing the home feeling.

        Though strict parents make good liars.

        Oh my god! They have an indoor pool! Eeeek! I walked out of the room and promised to have a dip later on.

        Continuing my wandering I found a game room, games you will find at Craig's Cruisers. Then in an adjourning room was a huge tv mounted on the wall with every game station known to man with been bags, plush couches, and a movie case taking up the whole far wall.

        Leaving the room I began to go to the living room when Elizabeth walks out of the kitchen.

        "Nevaeh! There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you!"

        "Oh, sorry, I was exploring the house."

        "No need to apologize, do you like what you found?"

        I smiled and giddily said, "Definitely."

        "Good. I have some news for you." Shifting my feet I waited anxiously for her to continue. "We know you have only been here a day but we want you to start training as soon as possible so you will be starting today. Sorry for the short notice."

        "It's fine, I completely understand. I kind of wanted to start it as soon as possible anyway."

        She gave an excited clap of her hands and cheerfully said, "Good."

        Right after she said that a girl walked out of the kitchen in a sports bra and spandex shorts with her hair in a ponytail.

        "You will be training in the basement, get changed, and meet her down there."

        I nodded my head then went to my room and put on a sports bra, shorts, and a t-shirt then went down to the basement that happened to be stocked with all exercise equipment known to man.

        "We are going to be starting with basic defense moves."

Sorry this is so short!!

This is the most I am going to talk about summer and her training. I have a lot planned for the book and without making it exceedingly long I need to get to school as soon as I can.

Unfortunately I will not be uploading for a while. I don't necessarily know how long but I want to get a lot more planned out before I begin to wing the rest of the book.

I hope you enjoy,  please don't be mad.
