Well, late update but its a long chapter so I hope that makes up for something (right? LOL) Well by the way it's Friday in the story again. Enjoy readers! ;)
"Alright offensive stance one!" Jill snapped. I stood ready, feet together and fists up, kind of like a boxer.
Jill observed Daisy and I as we were set in that position. She circled Daisy first and adjusted her legs because they were set too far apart, "somebody could trip you because of that mistake. So keep your legs close, you might need to throw a fast kick of some sort so be ready." Daisy shook her head obediently and the Jill walked over to me.
Her eyes were narrow and in complete observation, "strong posture Rebecca but keep your hands closer to your core, nobody likes the air being smacked surprisingly out of them." I nodded and adjusted my arms.
"Overall, very solid offensive stance girls, I'm impressed." She smiled warmly. "Though, I have one last thing to teach you both before leaving." She went to a closet and pulled out a Velcro mannequin who had an assortment of red, yellow and blue dots covering various regions of his body. "This is Wesker the practice dummy." Wesker? That was probably Chris's idea… I had no problem with that considering that-that jerk Wesker nearly killed me. If he was just a tad more centered that bullet would have pierced my heart.
I noticed that the red areas were located in places where the muscles were softer like the waist and in the calf region. The yellow ones were placed on the stomach and face. While the blue ones were placed in the frontal part of the leg and the arms.
"As you may have already noticed the different dots placed on him represent critical damage. The red dots indicating high damage, yellow meaning somewhat and blue meaning little to none damage."
"Areas we should focus on aiming at then, right Jill?" Daisy asked, studying the dummy closely.
"That's right, so the next time you guys are practicing your punches on the punching bag at the gym, try to visualize Wesker over here. Pretend you're hitting someone in the red or yellow regions, okay?"
I was staring intensely at the dummy trying to create a photographic memory of him in my head and Daisy was doing the exact same thing but she wasn't even blinking. "You gals got it right?" Jill questioned once again.
"Yes!" Daisy and I answered in unison. Jill beamed at both of us like a proud mother goose looking at her hatchlings.
"I'm very happy that both of you are quick learners, so next week we're putting these last two weeks together and starting one on one combat!" She said excitedly. Daisy also seemed happy but I was worried. Combat and I are not peanut butter and jelly. "Well that's all for today, see you both next week!"
"Alright, bye Jill!" Daisy said walking out the door.
"Rebecca wait a moment." Jill said getting off her chair and taking out a small piece of paper from her notebook.
"What is it?" Did I do something wrong? I can't remember if I did. She laughed at me for a moment and handed me the small piece of paper.
"Don't worry it's nothing bad. Reed gave it to me this morning and said to give it to you," She studied my expression for a sec and spoke seriously, "I didn't read it."
I opened it and started reading to myself: Hey doll face, I have an errand to run before class so I'll meet both of you in room next to the gym after lunch. Till then doll.
-Reed
I felt myself get slightly warmer and I didn't want Jill to notice so as casually as I could I said goodbye and speed walked out.
"Rebecca!" Daisy surprised me from out of the corner, I was too busy thinking about Reed´s note. Then I felt Daisy snatch something from my hand. ¨What´s this?"
"Give it back!" I tried to grab it but she held me back with one arm.
"How cute! Doll face!" She laughed mimicking Reed's voice. I felt myself get really warm in the face. I was finally able to snatch the note out of her hand because she was still too busy laughing hysterically.
¨Rebecca I was only teasing. Anyways, who´s Wesker because you seemed extremely serious when Jill was talking about the dummy? ¨
¨Long story…¨she insisted so, I gave her the short story on how Wesker betrayed everyone as we walked to Dr. Craig room. Before we entered the room we noticed a note taped to the door.
Girl´s I have an important task to attend to but I left my notebook on my desk, copy from page three onward. Also I left some formulas to copy on the white board. I want the formulas memorized for our next class on Monday.
-Dr. Craig
"Bummer." Daisy mumbled. We entered the room which was completely quiet and ordinary. We looked at the boards and our jaws dropped instantly. There were at least thirty-five formulas if not more copied on the two large boards!
"BEXS! Take a gander at the notebook!" Daisy exclaimed. I went over to the desk and flipped through the pages starting from number three.
"No way fifteen more pages afterwards!?" I also exclaimed aloud. I flipped through the pages once more and found no way around it. "We'd better get started."
I took us around two hours and a half to copy absolutely everything; it even took some time out of our lunch. So we quickly rushed over to cafeteria and grabbed the quickest thing we could eat which was a sandwich.
I was still horking it down while we rushed over to where Reed said we were going to meet him. The room was slightly smaller than the gym and it was all gray and divided by a white line that was lined horizontal dividing the floor in two uneven parts.
I noticed Reed was setting up some steel targets that were the shape of humane silhouette. His left side was facing us and he was wearing a male tank top which reminded me if he was Billy he had a tattoo on his right arm, he wouldn't be able to hide his identity from me any longer. He had worn long sleeve shirts since I met him but Billy wasn't one for the heat, he liked to keep cool.
"Hey Reed!" Daisy called out from across the room.
"Hey Daisy, Rebecca." Reed turned and smiled. First reaction was to look at his arm but there was absolutely nothing there. What?
"Hi." Was all I managed to say, have I been confused this entire time, maybe Reed is Billy's Doppelganger.
"Rebecca are you alright?" Reed asked coming closer.
"I'm fine really…"
"Well, if you feel sick or something of the sort just let me know." He eyed me intensively which caused me to blush. He walked back to the front where he could see the both of us. "Alright, like I promised last week. Since you girls have done a great job on the obstacle routine, I guess I owed both of you some time at the shooting range. Let's see what the two of you are made of…" He smirked.
Reed later started to explain the basics of shooting which brought me back to when I was STARS member and Edward was kind enough to teach me the basics in a small outdoor field where STARS would exercise and do various activities.
"Since you both seem to get it, let's give it a try." Reed went over to a box and handed us a full loaded hand gun and some ear muffs. "Right now I just want both of you to get the feel of the weapon so; your aiming doesn't have to be as perfect as mine."
"pfffft, conceded." Daisy mocked, but Reed had already put on the ear muffs and was focusing. We quickly put on the muffs when Reed shot and the bullet ended up dead centered in the heart.
"Bloody good shot." Daisy said eyes wide.
"Thanks." Reed said. "Now you both try." Daisy was already aiming while Reed was near a target. "Wait 'till I get out of the target zone will yah!" He screamed running to where I was.
"Geez you're friends a handful." We watched Daisy aim and fire; she didn't even hit the target. "you remember how to do it right Rebecca?"
"Sort of." I raised my weapon but other fingers traced along my arms to where my hands were and steadied them.
"Now hold your breath." That was easy with him so near me. My two index fingers traced along trigger.
"Aim." I closed my left eye and looked at the target through V shape focus point and held steady.
"And fire." We said in unison. I stumbled back and knocked into Reed's chest which was rock hard and the bullet sound wrung in m ear. Reed grabbed me by the arms and stood me up and smiled.
"Take a look at your shot." He said pointing at the target. It was in the middle of the heart just like his. "You'd give anyone a heartache with that aiming." He whispered in my ear which gave me a chill of excitement.
"But not when you're the one giving the heartache first, thanks though." He looked at me as if trying to decipher what I had just said but he knew perfectly well what I meant if he was Billy which he was, I can't let it go there's just too many things that resemble him…
"If you guys are done staring at each other, care to help me?" Daisy pleaded. I looked over to her target, I tried to suppress a giggle but failed to as I noticed there were bullet marks all over the wall and none on the target. Even Reed laughed.
"I guess we still have some work to do." For the rest of the hour I trained hard while from the corner of my eye I saw Reed helping Daisy the entire time but he didn't even come up to check on me, he was definitely avoiding me.
We helped clean up afterwards Reed and Daisy took care of the targets while I collected the weapons and ammo that were lying around.
"Alright were all about done here good work Rebecca and Daisy practice your stance," Daisy exhaled sharply and pouted. "Well, I'll see the both of you next week." Daisy and I nodded and said goodbye as well.
Before I let the room Reed called out, "Doll face, heads up!" He threw something at me and I caught it and it chimed in my hand, Billy's dog tags, I must have dropped them at the incident!
"How did you-?"
"I found them but I kept forgetting to give it back to you." He smirked while he interrupted me. I looked at them but there was something different, there were two tags connected and one was Billy's and the other had my name on it. I looked up and gawked at him. He winked and left through the other door.
"Bexs hurry up!" Daisy called through the door. I stood there thinking, my head swirled in circles but the only conclusion I got to was that: Great, now I'm even more confused…
A/N: I guess the tension got broken there at the end, oh Reed you're gonna get it next chapter.
Poor Rebecca confused and the answers elude her most of the time.
I promise next chapter will be great and exciting/romantic! AAHH :D
Shantty: I know right!
