SRPA 3, 18 Months Later

"Concentrate on the earth and the heavens…" I mumbled

Shickkk. That was the only noise as the wooden block snapped in half…

"You are learning very well, look what you can do in just one year and a half!"

"Thank you…" Nathan Hale said "And Corporal? May I have a word with you later on?"

"Yes Sir"

"Very Well"

With that, he left leaving me to ponder what he would have to say.

Why did I join the army? I don't know, it seemed so natural at the time. I really hated that choice, but if I didn't I would have had to join the Baton Rouge… THAT wasn't a very good idea either. SRPA it was then. I don't even know why I was promoted so fast. It was probably because of my back history. I was so tired after this day of training and teaching I only had one more hurdle, my monthly exam and inhibitor treatment. I wasn't a very big fan of the treatment and the exams took an hour. Fortunately, they didn't consume much energy. I walked past the cafeteria smelling the foods inside. Boy was I hungry! I wasn't allowed to eat five hours before the exam. Finally I reached the infirmary.

"Ah, Sarah there you are! Just on time as usual!"

"Yes Doctor Malikov , It's nice to see you too!" I said as I lay down on the cot.

"Now I will scan your organs to see if anything has changed…" He began explaining the process in his boring doctor way. I was practically asleep when I was done.

"There you're discharged."

"Thank you Doctor." I yawned.

I made my way to my barracks. I was the only one there since, I was the only female. I belly-flopped onto the bed. This day was excruciatingly tiring and it was only eight P.M. Someone knocked. I knew instantly that it was Nathan Hale. Not now I sighed.

"Yes come in." I got up and straightened myself.

"Corporal Parke?"

"Yes Sir?"

"I have to talk to you about the training…"

"Is there a problem?"

"Major Blake wants you to teach the other sentinels."

"Oh, that won't be a problem at all…" I said

"I won't disturb you any longer, good Night."

"Yes Good Night." I sighed

That was all he came to tell me? I felt that he wanted to say something else, but perhaps couldn't utter it now. I smiled gently falling asleep…

SRPA 3 1953
