"Are you okay?"
"Mm" I hummed looking at the floor disappointed at myself.
They have already taken us in our rooms and now it's time for breakfast. But I don't feel like eating today either.
"Today we will eat , come on" he extends his hand towards me but I don't take it.
"Go eat. I want to starve alone."
"Are you kidding me? Look how weak you were in front of them! What if today is your turn to fight? Are you going to let them kill you just like that? Kookie , get up , now and I don't take no as an answer" he gets out of my room going downstairs.
My feet dragged themselves out of my bed and into the hall where the food fights are held.
But surprisingly everyone was silent eating. And many foods weren't even touched.
Most of them were standing there having a nostalgic look on their eyes. Was it because of Brandon?
Leo simply takes the food for me and him and everyone glares at him. Yup it's because of Brandon.
"You should have died" a random person shouted and Leo raises his hands in defeat taking in a bite.
"Not my fault , he was stronger than me , but I had technique "
I can't believe this man. He can stay so calm even in these kind of situations. That's why I'm looking up to him , I want to learn more things about him. Even be like him if that was even possible.
Because me panicking easy cant help. But I can't help that either because of my childhood trauma..
"Come on , Kookie" he gestures me to follow him outside again. But this time we will actually train ourselves.
He gives me to eat first and I was feeling like a small kid in front of him.
"Alright. Look , you aren't as strong as you think you are but you have a technique just like I do. And that's the most important thing. Forget the power and forget the how strong might the others be" he takes a deep breath pausing for a moment " do you remember that day what you said to me? That you won Hunter because of a lucky move , no Kookie it wasn't a lucky move-"
"It was" I sigh.
"It wasn't. You simply knew what he would do. And all these fighters here" he lowers his voice a bit coming close to me "okay all these fighters here , they have one thing in their mind okay? Power. They want to seem powerful than the other one. But don't let that fool you"
"But being strong really helps here in these kind of fights don't you think?" I question him puzzled of what he is trying to say.
"Yes , it really does. Since death is the main goal but wasn't Brandon twice as me? Wasn't he stronger?"
"I don't know you killed him in a matter of seconds" we both laugh and he continues
"Shit , I forgot. But I can guarantee you he was way more stronger than me okay? He could take me down easily if I didn't know how to fight of course."
Man I love how confident he is right now.
"So I'm not going to teach you how to get stronger or shit like that. I'm going to teach you how to fight! Got it?" His words somehow boosted my confidence and my energy that I don't usually have in the morning.
"Got it!" I say back and he smiles approvingly of my willing to learn how to fight.
We go in our positions and he talks a bit loudly so I can hear him. Jason and Chico were on the other side sharing a few glances with us but they didn't approach this time because of our last meeting together.
"Now. If someone comes towards you running it's a k.o. in a matter of seconds. Because the other person is too focused on coming towards you and doing whatever he has in his mind that moment. It doesn't help him to think straight got it?"
I nod and he continues. That's the wrong move Hunter did to me that I won him.
"You could block him in different ways. For example taking his arm with the weapon , but this is a risky one you have to be experienced like me to do it. So what I recommend you to do is to simply move fast enough out of his way and to trip him if he is going to fast or kick him whenever you want most preferably on the crotch"
I couldn't help myself anymore with him and his attitude I let out a soft chuckle and he knew it was because of the last word but he didn't give much thought about it.
The whole hour kept going on with him teaching me different stuff , Aria hadn't even taught me yet.
Aria..
I miss her so fucking much. I want to get out of here but seems like Hunter really wants to torture me here.
I want to get out of here so badly and see her. Kiss her again have her in my embrace. Before sleeping I keep thinking about all the memories we have.
In case I'll never see her again.
People here are too violent and maybe , maybe different things might happen.
I'm risking my life by being here. I hate this place so much.
Can't I just see her once more? Just once.
"Fuck!" I scream making Leo look at me confused stopping whatever he was doing.
"Are you okay?"
"I miss her! So .. so much" my voice broke a bit and I know it doesn't seem manly at all. But as I said I fucking have feelings and my feelings for her are unbearable.
"Your girlfriend?" He takes a few steps close to me and I nod " that's what love does to us Kookie , be careful"
The bell rings meaning we should go back to our cells again.
And I fucking hate this place , more each day.
