We Six

Red

back to the room, we crawl barely being able to feel our arms and legs from a long day of training. its been a week now and it seems like all of this is for nothing, its feels like were not learning anything important. i get everything takes time but this is taking way to long. when we reach the door the leader of the pack, orange, opens it slowly as we all pile in out of breath, sweating profoundly, limping from soreness to our respected color coated rooms. before i go lay down and sleep till the imminent awakening to another long hard day of training i stop by purples room just to see her, i stand in the door way leaning on the wall so i could rest my legs for a minute, the lights were off and she was already smothered in a gigantic comforter. she looks like and angel sleeping perfectly sound in her bed ,"i really wanna talk to her but i don't wanna disturb her" i think to myself and turn around and walk away, but before i get to far away i hear whispers from the hallway, it sounds like grey. "are you sure we have her location?" hes obviously talking to someone but i couldn't make out the other voice "they're not ready yet" grey says "give them two more weeks" he plead. "thank you". who was he talking to? before i can even think about the question i purposed, my head hits the pillow and the exhaustion hit and i was out like a light, i didn't realize i feel asleep until i was abruptly awoken by the sound of blue screaming about something "blue will you be quiet?" i hear shouted by purple as soon as i turn the corner out of my room. i look around and see the usual morning routines of everyone, the first one ready was always yellow, then me, then purple, then orange and we were always waiting on blue and green screaming like banshees at each other over literally nothing. once were all ready, after an hour of time, we all congregate by the door, leader of the pack was always orange who was in front acting like the leader. when we step on the elevator its the same routine as we always do 15 floors down, go to our teachers, and train for the rest of the day. i'm tired of it "can we stop, like can we just stop?" i crescendo till everyone could hear me. and everyone did. and they all stopped and stared. "Red, whats wrong?" orange asks like he cares. "I'm over this, i don't want to do this anymore especially when we don't even know why we're doing this anyway" i say furiously. i march my way over to the door grey leaves through and bang on it repeatedly, yelling "come on grey come tell us whats going on!" then in an instant i'm pushed to the side by the opening of the heavy door and out comes a confused grey wondering why someone was screaming as everyone was. "tell us grey, why are we doing this? training everyday to fight? why?" we all look to grey because we've all been wondering the same thing but to uncomfortable to ask. grey looks to all of us individually with a face like he was waiting for someone to jump in so he didn't have to explain himself. but nobody did, we all deserved an explanation and we were going to get one. "okay , were do i start. this isn't just a company, were a company who protects the city from people who are trying to take it over" he said clenching his teeth scared of the response. my jaw dropped and i looked around and all of us had the same reaction besides yellow who stood there not paying attention. "are you kidding me?" said blue "why do you think we would want to help the city? and help it from what?" purple says angry as hell. grey puts his hands together and brings them in front of his chest in a praying position and gives a fake smile like he's about to tell mom he broke her favorite vase and wants her to not scream but knows she's going to "there may be someone trying to take over the city and kill us all?" grey says ascending in pitch with every word. "you've got to be kidding me" purple screams as she throws her weapons down and walks toward the elevator, blue shortly behind. "grey when were you going to tell us this?" orange says  "soon I promise we just didn't-" "didn't what?" green interrupts "we don't know who it is yet, you guys also aren't ready to go against whoever it is. we have a location though" grey says and both purple and blue stop in unison and look back. "you have a location? when were you going to tell us that?" orange says "soon, but again you guys weren't ready and still aren't, also they keep moving locations we cant pin point them for more than twenty-four hours, but we know where they'll be in a week from now. you guys will be ready then, but right now I cant go into to much detail. ill let you guys process everything and end training early." grey solemnly says then walked back through the same door he always left through, head down. blue, purple, yellow, orange and green went into the elevator and didn't speak a word the whole fifteen floors up,  after everyone filed in purple came to my room to fill me in on everything that happened while everyone else went to their room to try and sleep but none of us could. not one minute was spent on resting all of us wide awake, thoughts of fright and unanswered questions spiraling around our minds. everything has happened so quick. every single one of our different lives has changed so drastically in a month. something wasn't right, but what was it?
