Overcoming Sang(Paused)

Chapter One

Its been six months since I was saved from my mother. Six months that I have enjoyed and cherished. I've never felt so free. So happy.

My body has healed as well as it can. And the guys and me have gotten closer. I know just about everything now.

But I'm finally proud of myself. Of who I have become. Who I'll be. I never thought that my life would be this calm. Never thought I'd ever have an impact on the world.

But now I do. I've joined the Academy.  So I can help those that deserve more. Those who were like me. Beaten down by the life given to them. Those who held no hope to seeing the brighter days. I want to help those that were in positions like me or the guys. I want to give others, what I received.

Strength, love, and compassion.

Alot of things the Academy had originally tried to teach me, I already excelled at. So they gave me private tutors instead. Most of which was my own team.

Yes one team. We finally decided to officially merge. Because family IS a choice. And they are all my family. They healed me when I thought I was broken.

But instead taught me my weaknesses made me strong. I was strong to acknowledge my pain. And remember my past.

Because it defines me. Makes me who I am. Gives me motivation for more and better. So thats exactly what I did.

Every training I went into I would go in determined.  I ingrained my life to my mind so I could see how far I came. See what I have overcame.

And damn does it make my heart swell with pride. Gone is the weak me. The girl who had no voice. The girl who couldn't speak up for fear of retribution. The Sang that kept her head down and tried to please everyone.

It may have only been a few months but so much has changed that it feels like a decade. I'm stronger. No longer malnourished.  No longer stressed. I no longer belive that pain is all I will ever know. 

I am free. And I don't give two flips of a flying seahorse, who don't like it. This is who I'm meant to be. There is no going back.

"Sang Sorenson,  do you herby understand that you are under confidentiality of the Academy. That you are not to discuss or disclose any information of or about the Academy to anyone who is not already a member, without receiving permission from those of superior status than yourself first?"

"I am willing and I will obey." I say confidently.

This initiation needs to hurry the harpers up. I'm hungry. I haven't ate today and it's already four in the afternoon. 

The council nods their heads and blah blah blah. They keep going and going. As though what they say isn't obvious.  But I look at them as though I am listening.

I've already passed my trainings. I'm basically already a member.  All that's left before its official is the Trial. Which is just a way to test all the newbies and see everyone's strengths and weaknesses.

The trial is once a year,, with no specific courses or time frame..  It's spontaneous they say. Gives them ideas on who gets what mission. Which I'm fine with. Because if I can beat Raven at weaponry, beat Nathan at Martial arts. And outcode Victor and Corey at Coding, Or become even more advanced than Mr. Blackbourne, Axel, and Kota in Strategy,  then I'm almost certain I should be in the top class of missions board.

Thats all before my ghost bird status.

Thats not to say I didn't cry, bleed or push my body past its limits to accomplish them all. Because I have earned every victory.

"-again on Trials. Have a nice day and get some rest. Welcome to the Academy. "

Yes! Finally I can eat! I bow my head politely before turning away and walking out the big wooded doors. I'm pretty sure they thought they were intimidating people. But really,  they just look like decoration. With the dark wooden tones of wood and then grey tone funishings, everything in the room clashed in a way that seemed bland and downright depressing.. I just know that my Gabriel would definitely cry if he saw the mismatch pieces in the room.

"Please please please. I'm hungry now Northy. I hadn't ate all day. They had me trapped all day long and didn't even offer me water!" I exclaim to a grumpy North.

Currently I'm begging him to let me buy me some McDonald's.  Because we have a whole hour drive before reaching the house. And as I've stated already. My stomach is trying to eat me. Growling in anger as it devowers my spine.

I put on my puppy eyes and stick my lip out in a pout as I softly ask again.

He let's out a long breath of defeat before sending me a fake glare and speaking." That lip only works on Gabe, Raven, Silas, and Corey. Not me. This is a one time thing. Because we have a long drive and you are hungry. Make sure you get fruit."

I smile wide knowing pouts definitely worked on him. And the rest of the guys. Gabriel just caves the quickest.

He drives us to the restaurants driveway and we look over the menu before ordering. I try to hand over money to pay but North growls before handing the cashier his card. I pout again but without true intent. I'm honestly just ready to eat.

♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡

"Only a few days before your Trial. Are you ready?" North asks me when we pull into the driveway.

Which is amazing. Because we all decided to move in together and bought a 20 bedroom mansion. It looks like a miniature castle. It has beige painted brickes with a dark Grey roofing. On the lawn you can see flowers lining the sidewalk up to the porch. Gabriel brings out the true Beaty of anything he encounters and it's absolutely amazing.

"Yeah. I'm actually not stressed over it though. I know I can do it. I'm ready to just get it over with so everyone else can stop stressing." I state while unlatching my seat belt.

"Well that's good. But don't feel too confident because you can always have a slip up Sang Baby. Also, the guys have a surprise for you when we get in."

  I freeze in surprise. I wonder what they did this time? I tell them there's no need. But Gabriel looks for anything to celebrate to. Then I just keep giving him the mother load. Such as graduating out of all my training. Every single one of my classes would be celebrated in some way. A gift here, a party there. Bageezes, even moving to this mansion was a gift for me.

Which is super sweet.  I love and appreciate everything any of them do for me. It's just hard to accept so much when I'm use to so little.

But I'm beginning to go with it and just enjoy it all.

So stepping out of the vehicle after North opens my door, I let my shoulders relax and smile in excitement before running off to the house. I don't slow even when hearing North's addicting chuckle behind me.
