Iron angel (Book 1 of IA)

[10] Demon

"Faster! Even my dead grandmother runs faster than you!" Isa screamed.

It was only 15 minutes into the first day of training, and I was already starting to look for a grave to crawl into and rest...forever.

"Faster fresh meat! Do you want to become dead meat that bad!?" In an instant she drew out a pistol and began firing at the ground near me.

"YES SIR!" I ran for my life, or should I say hopped for my life. My legs were tied together with sand bags strapped around my ankles. And I swear the thing was filled with lead, not sand. I repeat, not SAND!

"10 more sets! You only have 10 minutes!"

I just ran 10! This bitch!

1 set was 50 meters, with my legs tied and 20 pound dead weight tied to my ankles...Yep I was definitely looking forward to that retirement home in my grave now.

"You can do it Kard! Luv-luv!" Rin cheered, as I barely spared the blue hologram a glance.

(*¯ ³¯*)♡

I couldn't have cared less, but honestly it did help lighten up the mood a bit.

"Thanks for being annoying." I answered with fake irritation.

"Ha!? I was just being nice to you for once and this is how you..."

"STOP SQUABBLING AND START RUNNING! DEAD MEATS!" Isa screamed. Her cry was followed by a shot towards the ground where I had been a moment ago.

"YES SIR!" Rin and I screamed at the same time.

I hopped like there was no tomorrow.

​"That crazy...bitch..." I said, trying to catch my breath.

"YEAH! Who does that women think she is? One day if I get crossed dimensional powers..." Rin said clenching her fist in rage. She went on with her rant, though I missed the rest of it. I was too busy chugging down like 20 gallons of water to care. When I finished, Rin was still going on with her torture plan:

"...I will hack into her phone and computer, then deny her from connecting to any sort of WIFI..."

"Stop, stop, stop! You're too loud!"

"Oops! Ok so this is what I am going to do with her..." her voice trailed off into a whisper, naturally I held my arm closer to my ear to listen in:

"Walking on a mile of Lego? Barefoot? Dang..." I honestly couldn't imagine the pain; hearing it was painful enough.

"Ohhh! I got an even better one!" she said with the squeaky voice of 12 year old girl.

I listened. After she was finished, I think I just lost whatever little faith in humanity.

"Rin. You're the devil." I replied, with the face of genuine fear.

"Hue, hue, hue...All we have to do is..."

"What are the two of you dead meats squabbling about?" Isa's voice came out of nowhere. We looked up and she was right there standing before us, staring down at us, literally.

"Nothing sir!" Rin and I screamed in one union.

"Really? If you got something just spit it out fresh meat." Isa said as she crossed her arms.

A moment passed then another. She had probably heard our entire conversation and was just testing us. It was the worst it could be; I wished she would just beat me up and get it over with. It seemed like she was going to beat the shit out of me, but it was really the constant fear that she might beat the shit out of me just tilts me. The atmosphere was so tense I felt every breath. Sweat began dripping down my forehead like a broken dam. One drop got in my eye making it very itchy, I wanted to scratch it, but the rest of my body was just frozen by the sheer amount of fear and stress. The itch was bad, but my body wouldn't respond the slightest. All I could stare at was Isa's blurred image, the very figure of the demon that would decide my fate.
