Hi guys this is chapter 2 and this part is Zoe arriving at SKUL
The car suddenly stopped and I woke straight away. Unfortunately I was still blindfolded, it was quite scary as I was only five.
The car door opened and I karate chopped the person who was stood there.
"V95! Don't karate chop anyone without my say so in the future" The Grandmaster groaned in pain, oops
"Sorry" I mumbled, he pulled me out of the car and escorted me into the building. Little did I know it would be the last time I was outside for ten years.
As soon as we stepped outside the Grandmaster removed the blindfold and I looked around eagerly,
the colors were very boring. A cream white was painted on all of the walls and the floor was so shiny I could see my reflection in it.
The Grandmaster pushed me down the gleaming corridors and up the marble stairs. My heart was racing, at the time I thought the place was amazing
but now looking back on it I see it for what it really was, a prison to make sure me Kloe were hidden from KORPS.
There were two doors that were designed like the doors of a prison cell.
The Grandmaster nodded and one of the men he was with unlocked the door and I was shoved inside.
There was a small bed in the corner of the room that reminded me of a hospital bed. There was a large oak wardrobe and a tray on the floor which had a glass of water and some sort of food that looked disgusting.
It was even worse then my bedroom at KORPS.
"How long do we have to stay here?" I asked holding back the tears.
" A while" He replied looking at the floor
."How long is a while?"
"Stop asking questions V95, have your dinner and get some sleep" He said sounding quite irritated now
"I went to sleep in the car" I wasn't going down without a fight
"Well that's hardly my fault is it?"
"No it just means that I can't go to sleep"
"Stop arguing with me V95"
"No, I want to go back to KORPS"
"Well you can't"
"Why?"
"I told you why it's too dangerous"
"Your lying, you took me here because you want me to work for you instead of the Mastermind"
"You really are a clever girl aren't you"
"You taught me"
"That I did, now go to sleep"
"Fine" I was too argued out to carry on. They all left the room and locked the door behind them.
I peered down at the tray and realized that they actually want me to eat this muck.
I downed the water straight away because I was desperately thirsty, then glaring at it I picked up the spoon and got some of "That" on a shaky hand I placed it into my mouth.
It was vile, I spat it out straight away it tasted like porridge that was two months old,
It was a shame that I drank all the water because I was not going to get that taste out of my mouth for ages.
I didn't attempt to eat anymore and changed into my pajamas and crawled into bed,
It felt like a bumpy mattress it was so uncomfortable that it was unbelievable.
I soon fell asleep after I spent nearly an hour crying as the thought of being free broke my heart as I knew it was never going to happen.
The next morning I woke to the sound of my bedroom door being unlocked and I turned to see an operative who must of only been twenty walk in just as I lifted my head.
"V95, you need to get dressed, someone will be along with your breakfast soon"
"I hope it's not as revolting as dinner but thank you"He smiled and abruptly left the room,
yet again locking the door behind him.
I jumped out of bed and threw on a pale blue hoodie, some plain black jeans and white trainers that were a size to small.
As promised breakfast arrived and a woman with an awkward limp slowly made her way in.
She placed the tray down at my feet . Brilliant that disgusting porridge thing again.
I smiled gratefully at the woman as she limped out the door. After attempting to eat it again, I went to brush my teeth even though I only had two mouth fulls.
Though that was better than last night's attempt because this time I swallowed it.
I waited patiently for a guard to arrive to take me to training for well over half an hour.
When they finally came I noticed it was the same man who woke me up but this time he was joined by the Grandmaster.
"V95did you have a good sleep?" He asked enthusiastically
"Yes thank you sir" I lied because I knew he would get angry if I told the truth.
"Good because it's time for your training"
They lead me out of the room and down the marble stairs. I walked through the double doors that showed a bright blue training ring.
"Well, up you go V95"I nodded and stepped into the ring, fear rising inside me as I did.
"Your going to be fighting this young man today" He laughed pointing at the guard.
"Okay"
The man followed me into the ring and got into a fighting stance, I did the same it wasn't fair the Grandmaster was making me fight someone fifteen years older than me and probably knew moves that I didn't think ex sisted.
He moved first kicking my chest, I hit the ground with a thud and the man looked concerned but he was my enemy now and he had let his guard down.
I kicked his shins and his legs buckled and he fell to his knees, jumping up I caught his stomach,
he flicked his wrist and pushed me into the ropes holding the ring up, he punched my ribs and I gasped catching my breath.
Swinging another punch, I blocked it easily as he had made it too obvious in the first place.
He tried again and I ducked and darted behind him as I kicked his back then his head. It was clear that I was the winner.
"Well done V95!" The Grandmaster laughed mentally.
"Thank you sir" I replied quietly.
"Go to your gymnastics lesson, I will meet you there"
"Okay" I jumped out of the ring and walked out of the room dreading what he was going to do to that man.
Thanks for reading see you in the next chapter
