Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 12

"Ah!" Amilia shrieked as she hit the ground. She grabbed her sword and then ran away. "How can you be so athletic after being in a comma?" She yelled over her shoulder.
"That's the reason why I am so athletic!" He answered back. "I've been lazy!" Amilia rolled her eyes and then stopped to guard his blade. Akxfo pushed her off of his sword and pinned her on the ground once again.
"Have you been lazy? Not training because I was in a comma?" He nudged her shoulder. "You got closer this time, but you lost focus towards the end." He helped her up. "That's very dangerous."
"Yeah, yeah." Amilia started to walk out of the arena.
"Hey!" He said pointing his weapon at her. "Where are you going?"
"Away." She said back to him.
"Amilia, don't you walk away!"
"I've got to go, Akxfo!" She shrugged him off and refused to listen as he continued to complain that she 'cut his time short'. She quickly sprinted away from the arena and sneaked her way over to where she was supposed to meet Unora. Amilia took a deep breath and went through the wall to Unora's hideout.
"Amilia!" She said coming from behind her throne and down the stairs. "Your training starts today." She said clapping in front of her. Unora rapped her arm around Amilia's back. Unora pulled Amilia forward as she walked further into the lair. "First we dance." Unora let go of Amilia. "Like this." Unora said as Amilia watched her.
"I can't do that, that's too advanced."
"It takes time." Unora said. "It doesn't happen right away, you'll get it." Unora pointed to the floor and then the air. Foot placements and arm placements appeared. "Follow them." Amilia did as she was told. Yet every time she always messed something up. Even after an hour she was still sloppy. "It's time to move on." Unora said putting her hand to Amilia's shoulder. Amilia followed Unora as she walked over to another place in the room. As Amilia came closer she saw that it was a type of range. Unora clapped at the gate. "I just love archery, lets perfect your aim!" Amilia had never picked up a bow and arrow before. She got a tad confused trying to figure it out. And of course she was bad at that too. Next was sword fighting. "Let's see your skills!" The swords met a few times and over all, Amilia could hold her own. She still lost though. Amilia next moved onto fight. Just with her body, no weapons. It was very difficult and Amilia didn't quite get it. Even after she worked at it for an hour. Next she moved on to agility. She ended up running for a while. After that she sat down with a pen and paper. She was told to write something. Next she began to paint. It was a creative two hours. After the painting Unora released her to the rest of her night. The rest of the night wasn't too bad. She worked with Oglm a bit before going back up to the house. She did her 'apprenticing'. It wasn't as bad as last time. But then again she hadn't been working with him in weeks. She relaxed on the couch beside Oglm.  Leo was in his room and Zali was out with her friends for the night. Amilia watched the TV with Oglm. It wasn't very late either, about four or five o'clock, but that was just fine. Amilia needed to come up with a plan for the night anyway. She continued to look at the TV with a blank stare. She nearly dozed off a few times. Amilia tried not to go to sleep. She didn't want to talk to Nsefen or whoever could confront her in her mind. She just wanted to relax and not worry about Unora. The decision she made haunted her, but she knew it was necessary to keep everyone safe. If she were to move on, she would need to be ok with her decision. Surely that wouldn't stop her thoughts, but what a better way to prepare? As she lye on the couch, she fell asleep.
