In Two month time

The time for my test was fast approaching, it was already two month since I started training with Damian, Hugo and Jules. Damian and I have gotten really close, we spent time outside training together and I started getting to know the real him and not the king he was. He was kind, honest, we both came clean as to something's we did, I told him about my mum debts which he cleared, changed my car, made Ash and Chloe to change to a better school, of course I had to come clean with them too, told them everything including the danger we are currently facing.

Marshal was my baby, I knew inside the brooding and the angry stares he was a baby and we got really close. It took a while, with the help of Damian, his siblings and John, I finally had a shot but deep down I was scared of the test and the blood oath that comes after it, will I survive it, training was as intense as ever, it took a lot of time to keep up with them and come out with little wounds and pain, now my attacks were more solidified, my punches and kicks were deadly. I was deadly. I took a shot at all the weapons they had, because according to Jules, I needed to know how to use all. It came as a shock to me when I was told that they had armories in every building they own, they were always prepared. Jules birthday party came and went, I also found out that Damian was two years older than I while I was older than Jules by months then Marshal was our baby. Hugo was the only one I was scared of even though he was part of my trainers I never warm up to him, he tries anytime he get the opportunity to ask who taught me and as always I had to lie, honestly don't know why he was interested.

I had to stop work at Mr Morris place, so that I can have enough time for training, money was no more a problem for us, the only work I was allowed to keep was my nanny job which I was grateful and glad. Nobody pay attention to mum attitude and habit anymore, things were going smooth. Lawrence went into hiding it was as if he and his activities vanished from America, as much as it brought peace to my soul I got this itch at the back of my mind telling me something or someone was bidding it or his time before they strike. Due to that I have been extremely careful with everything, Ash was also taken lesson from me anytime we are home so that she can protect herself and Chloe anytime I wasn't with them. We made sure one of us was always with her at all times, it better safe than sorry.

My muscles were more defined than before, I looked in every way the killer I was made to be even though I haven't had my first kill and was sincerely praying for that day not to come.

Waking up this morning was a major problem because my muscles were sore and ache, I felt cramps all over my body and it was if someone turn on the power switch and my whole body was in shock. This lasted for straight forty five minutes and I couldn't do anything but to endure the pain that came with it. God what with today, I have to call in sick, constant training was taking a toll on me and I honestly need a full one week rest.

"Hey Damian, good morning, I was wondering if I could call in sick, I don't feel good, hope it won't cause any problem I really just need to rest and tend to myself."

"Alright thanks, 'will call if anything happens."

Thank God for that, at least I can sleep it off, shutting all forms of alarm in my room I dozed off. Sleep was really what I needed, I woke up feeling energized and pump up, was about getting up when the front door shrieked.

"Ash, Chloe you're home?"

There no reply, I wasn't expecting the girls to be home yet since they left few hours ago but I just had to make sure it wasn't them, being with Damian has taught me what to expect, I quickly search for my phone turning off other sound, notifications and all, I texted Damian. Dress in short and a hoodie I quietly stepped out of my room, the living room was still dark due to the curtains were still down but I could clearly seen the figure searching through our drawer not minding if anyone was home. Getting closer it was obvious the person was a guy with the way he was built dressed in black from head to toe with a hoodie that looks so familiar, where have seen this I wondered. Since the threat of Lawrence I had to get a metal bat at least for safety, it was my form of weapons having it around made me feel safe, going for it the intruder turn and saw me, seeing the bat and the distance I jumped using my body to cover the distance between I and the bat just as he reached for his gun. It either me or him and I wasn't going to die now. Going all Harley Quinn on him I hit him so hard that with one swing he was knocked clean, the guy was too big to move so instead of moving him I gagged him and tied him to our dinning table while I waited for Damian to arrive. It took him less than ten minutes.
