The always so joyful voice of Azure wakes me, taking all sense of hope back fro my dreams and awakening me to a misty, grey room. Even with all of the luxurious furniture, the room still feels cold and empty.
"Wakey, wakey! Rise and shine..."
'seven sevens are 49' I chuckle to myself as I slowly drag myself from underneath the duvet. Suddenly I feel cold, the warmth from the duvet having vanished and the chill finally getting to me.
"Come and get your breakfast!" His singing voice penetrates the door and rings around the room, making my spine shiver from a mixture of his high pitch and the now freezing room.
I trudge to the door, twisting the golden handle and allowing it to open by a crack.
"Okay... What do I need to get dressed in?" I ask, still half asleep and rubbing my eyes from the blinding light of the hallway.
"Beetee will be here soon to instruct you on today, so just try not to fall back to sleep whilst you wait!" He giggles girlishly and practically skips down the hallways towards the dining hall.
He creeps me out.
I close the door and plant myself on the bed, sitting upright so that I wont fall back to sleep, and start to think about the training session today. I had never really had a plan about this. I hadn't really wanted to believe I would really be doing it until now.
I guess that I will have to try and learn how to use some more weapons, or something that will physically keep me out of trouble...
"Emmett?"
Beetee's voice makes me jump, suddenly standing up and once again dragging my feet to the door. I open the door wide to see Beetee stood formally, exactly in front of the door; right in the middle.
"Oh..." He looks down at me and I realise that I went to bed with only my pyjama trousers on. I quickly grab the shirt from off of the floor and wrap it around my chest.
"Sorry."
"No, it's okay. It's not like you have anything to be embarressed by there." He gives me a small wink. "Anyway. Here is what you will be wearing for training today. I will meet you in the dining hall and we will discuss tactics."
He leaves from his perfect spot in front of my door, walking slowly in comparison to Azure's previous skip, and I begin to close the door as an arm blocks me from closing it any more.
"Emmett..." I hear a whisper, "Emmett, I need to come in!" The whisper has turned into a rather concerned voice and I recognise it as Esmerelda. I let Esmerelda open the door, carrying my training outfitto the bed ready to change into it.
"I am satisfied that I can talk once I hear the door click closed. "What is it Es?" I say.
I turn around, having thrown my shirt back down again, and see her already dressed in her outfit, her hair tied back and her hands shaking.
"Whtat's wrong!" I suddenly become worried, why is she scared? Has something happened?!
"Whatever they say, you can't leave me alone today! I don't care what Beetee tells you!"
I can hear how frightened she is in her voice.
"I promise you, I will stay with you, and protect you for as long as I live!" I look her in the eyes before pulling her into a tight hud.
"Okay..." She replies, uncertain and muffled by my chest, "Now please get you hairy six pack off me!" she giggles.
"Oh, sorry..." I release her and begin to get dressed as she leaves the room.
