"Ouch" I cry

"Put your head higher and try again," Grandpa walks around me, holding a cane.

I put my tears away and take a deep breath. I feel the energy fill me and I let it out just with my head. The glass bottle shatters right in front of me. I jump with Joy but stopped when I turn to see Grandpa.

"Ah um.. I did it, Grandpa" I say almost mumbling. I just hope he won't hit me just because I celebrated. I see him walking towards me and I squeeze my eyes shut waiting for a hit but instead his pats my head. I look up and there was Grandpa smiling. He rarely smiles. All he does is hit me and shout at me. He won't even let me sleep but that's part of the training.

He turns around walking back to the house and said "Hurry Kalee, breakfast is ready"

My eyes lit up like a thousand stars. I run and wrap my hands around his arm. "Thank you Grandpa"

Present-day (Aged: 18)

Tap tap. I feel someone tapping my shoulder making me slightly opening my eyes. I support my body by putting my elbow on the ground. I frown as the room light hits me. I look up to see Elizabeth holding a towel. Why am I doing on the floor?

"Why are you sleeping on the floor miss?" Elizabeth asks as I get up on my feet.

"I don't know.." I look around trying to think. " I think I fell out of the bed" I shrug.

It has been two days since I came here. I have never once left the house but there was a garden behind the house, so that's where I usually get fresh air. It's been a little awkward between me and William still. He looks like he wants to say something but his holding it back.

Zen's big mouth will never stop annoying me. His just a pain in the ass.

"Here is your towel miss" Elizabeth hands me the towel in her hands.

"Thank you-" I take it and pause. "- you don't have to call me miss. You can just call me Kalee."

She takes one long look before nodding. "Okay Miss Kalee"

"No you may drop the Miss. Just Kalee, will do" I give her a toothy grin and a thumps up. Calling me Miss has really made me uncomfortable. It's like she is my servant or something which she is not.

"oh Sorry Miss- I mean Kalee" She says my name making me smile.

"Okay thanks for the towel Beth!" I exclaim and walk to the shower.

"Beth?" She tilts her head in confusion.

"Yea! Your name is pretty long. I thought of shortening it to Beth instead of Elizabeth. Is that a okay with you?" I smile. She thinks for a moment, while looking at the ceiling. She looks back at me and nods. "Okay. Well I'm gonna shower"

I hear metal Rubbing against each other making a ching! Sound as I walk down the stairs. I walk out to the garden to see William and Zen sword fighting. I quietly sat on the bench to watch.

Elizabeth stand beside me and gives me a glass of orange juice. It was 10 am in the morning and the sun is starting to warm up the place. William and Zen doesn't seem to notice that I'm watching but I didn't want to distract them.
