The Girl with the Gun 2

Training

I ran to the building going past all the people. Once I got there Captain Ren was waiting for me at a gate.
"Anorak you made it", he said smiling, " Come on in".
He opened the gate and we walked to what I think is the training ground.
"We have a program for kids your age that want to be soilders, " He said.
I saw young boys my age. They all knew each other I guess. They were tall and strong.
"You think you'll be able to back as strong as them", he asked.
"I'm already much stronger than anyone", I said.
" Even me?", he asked jokingly.
"Especially you", I said looking at the boys.
" I like the confidence", he said laughing.
"It's just a fact", I said as someone walked up to us.
" This is Captain North", Captain Ren said.
He was big and had a curly mustache. But he was bald.
"This must be Anora", he said smiling, " You'll be the only woman. Are you ready?"
"I always am", I said keeping a straight face.
" Good luck Anora", Captain Ren said.
We walked towards the boys and Captain North said, "Call me North".
" Okay", I said.
"So you can handle that gun well right", he asked.
" Yes I can also use a knife but guns are a lot easier ", I said showing him my gun.
" That's the one in the book right", he asked.
"I guess", I said.
Soon I was in the crowd of boys. It was hot and smelly.
" Okay everyone keep in a row", North yelled at the group, "Anora get in the front I wanna see what you can do".
I stood in front as everyone else got in line. They fought to be in the front so they could be seen by North. Stupid! It become loud and it annoyed me. North did nothing about it.
" Stop being stupid. Your success is more seen then you being in the front", I yelled, "or are y'all just that weak".
North laughed and some of the boys but they go in their spots. The exercises were difficult and challenging but some how I did them.
"Okay everyone we are gonna do 1v1 combat", North said standing tall and smiling, " I'll make you go against people who you will have a difficult time beating".
He started to make the pairs carefully think of who they would fight. Soon, I was paired with a big guy. We watched everyone fight some matches quick and some long. North came and stood next to me.
"You'll be the last match. I will stop the match if he gets to ruff", North said with a serious face, " We had an uneven number so he is going twice".
"I'll examine is ways of fight and use that to my benefit", I said smirking, " If this was a real fight with weapons he'd be out in a second ".
" That's a big claim", North said.
"That's only because it's true", I said laughing.
Soon, it was the big guy's match. He was strong and quick with his movements. Although, he got tired quickly. When he did I could attack and I would have to find a way to distract him in the mean time.
So my plan is to get him tired by avoiding all of his attacks and then when he is tired I'll attack some how. But he must have a weak spot what is it? As I watched the match and realised everytime he got hit in the stomach he got weaker.
Soon, it was my turn to fight. The guy was sweating from wining the first match.
"I ain't afraid of no girl", he said in a strong southern accent.
" You should be of this one.", I laughed, "can I get your name?"
"Bill and your Anora", he said, " I'll be the savior of this war"
"Strong claim but I'm sorry that won't happen", I said and he came after me.
I ran around the square waiting for him to get tired. He wasn't far behind me when I was running. If he pushed me out of the square he would win. Finally he got tired and I began to try and push him out of the square. He pushed me off of him and I began to try and hit his neck. He then got his energy back and I ran like I did before. This time he was much closer. Then, he grabbed my hair pulling me to face him. I tried to pull away but he held on tight. It began to hurt extremely! Tears began to fall as he then began to hit my stomach. The crowd began to yell at North for not stopping the match. I smiled.
"Soon you run out of energy", I said stopping my tears.
" I won't stop", he said with an angry face.
"Then you'll just get weaker and slower", I said laughing as he let go of my hair.
I took the chance to get a few hits in which were only a little effective. He then picked me up from the ground and through me out of the square. My back was in so much pain. I stood up slowly although I had lost.
"Looks like the savior can't even fight", he said laughing.
I pulled out my gun and said, " I don't fight. I kill. "
