I arrived at the gym to see Eddie and Stan warming up.
"Hey Rose." Eddie said when he realised I'm present. I nodded my head while I sat down to do some stretches.
When we were done Stan started talking.
"When you were training with Guardian Belikov how many laps did you do?"
Eddie watched my expression as I twitched at his name. Stan must have seen this as he had a look of confusion on his face.
"Um, I think I did 16 laps, 4 miles." I answered, with no emotion in my voice.
"Okay, I want you guys to run 2 miles and after we'll do hand to hand combat."
Eddie and I took off, completing 2 miles in less than 10 minutes.
"Okay, Rose can you please do another mile, jogging, while I go hand to hand with Eddie. When you're done, you'll swap until you both do another 2 miles." I nodded and took off.
When I came back, Eddie and Stan were still sparing.
"Okay Eddie, go run."
I decided to let my feelings out on my opponent. Instead of crying I would fight. And hopefully it would work.
We stood across from each other, in a fighting stance.
"Go!" Stan called out.
Stan attacked first, but I dodged. Then I attacked and he blocked. It went like this until I let my anger out on Stan from Jesse. I punched him in the shoulder, knocked his feet from under him as well as tripping over, landing on top of him. I won.
He looked at me in shock. I guess he wasn't expecting that.
"How did you do that?" He asked. I shrugged.
"Dunno." Eddie returned a few seconds later. I left and did another lap, putting all my emotion, into it.
Eddie and Stan looked at me, when I entered the gym, in shock.
"What?" I asked.
"You did that in less than 4 minutes." Stan said. I shrugged.
"Wait a minute while I finish fighting with Eddie." I nodded and sat down.
'Rose, I am going to start that counselling thing, can you see if it is alright if you miss tomorrow's training?' Lissa sent through the bond.
'I'll ask.'
When they finished, Eddie left and I went up to Stan.
"Lissa wants to know if I can miss out on tomorrows training, I've got counselling with her." I asked.
"Sure, but how do you know?"He asked confused.
"The bond works both ways." I answered getting into a fighting position.
"Okay, Go." He yelled.
I did the same as before and again I won. When I got up I heard clapping.
I turned around to see Mia.
"Mia! What are you doing here?" I asked. Last time I heard, she was at the Royal Court with her dad.
"Dad wants me to finish school here and I wanted to see you and say hi." She answered.
"Then, Hi," I said.
"Hi." She answered. Eddie walked in then.
"Hey Mia," He said.
"Hey Eddie,"
"It's the end of training, you can go now." Stan said.
I nodded and left.
We arrived at my room a little while later. The others were coming over in 5 minutes, so we had to get ready as we were having a party.
We were lucky we had Adrian or we'd have nothing to drink. Lissa, Adrian and Christian arrived a few minutes later.
Then the party begun.
