Chapter 7: Teach Me
-A Day Later-
Cahill got up and walked into the kitchen. She looked in her backyard and saw Anne with a bow staff. Anne moved and twisted the middle of the long bow staff, and the one began two small ones. She moved them as if she was fighting someone. Cahill watched her and saw that the girl was very good at what she was doing. She watched as Anne stopped and walked back into the house. As she walked through the door, Cahill spoke.
"You are up early."
"I always get up this early." She said with a smile and wiped the sweat off her neck with a towel.
"You hungry?" Cahill asked her.
"Yeah I am. Let me go and take a shower and then I will eat." Anne began to walk off, but then she stopped and turned toward Cahill. Cahill saw this and looked at her.
"Dad left you something on the coffee table." She told her. Cahill looked over and saw on the table a vase full of flowers. Under the flowers was a black box with a blue bow on it. She walked over and picked up the flowers. She smiled at the black roses with a blue trim on them. She moved them to the side and opened the box. She moved the black and blue tissue paper. She moved the final one and saw a black bow with pink trim. She picked it up and looked at it. She looked in the box again and saw a note on the quiver full of black arrows with pink fletching. Cahill placed the bow on the couch and picked up the note. She read what it said.
My Love
Have Anne show you how to use this, please for me, please learn how to shoot this bow.
Love Al Sah-him
Cahill moved and looked at the bow. She turned when she heard Anne speak.
"What did dad leave you?" She asked her.
"He left me a bow, and he wants you to show me how to use it." She told her. Anne smiled at her.
"Well then after we eat I will teach you." She said with a smile. Cahill smiled at her and then laid the note down on the arrows. She walked over and started to cook them something to eat.
-Later-
Anne made Cahill seat on the ground in the backyard. Cahill looked at a bowl that was full of water. Anne moved and sat down in front of her. Cahill looked at that water and then at Anne.
"Now palm up, facing me." Anne told her. Cahill moved and did as told. "No slap the water as hard has you can." Cahill looked at her with an odd look.
"The bow that dad gave you. The tension is up to hundred and ten pounds, you have to strengthen your arms before you can be able to pull it back." Anne told her. Cahill moved and slapped the water as hard has she could. After the water was slapped out of it, Anne filled it up again.
-Five Days Later-
Cahill slapped the water out of the bowl again. She had done this with her right hand and then she would do it with her left hand. Cahill was sitting on the ground and was ready to slap the water again but this time Anne place the bow in front of her. Cahill looked up at her.
"You are ready to pull it back now." She told her. Cahill stood up and took the bow. She moved and pulled the bowstring. She was shocked when she could pull it all the way back. She looked at Anne.
"Good now we start the really training." She said with a smile. Cahill had a feeling that she was not going to like this part that much.
-Few Days Later-
Anne had showed Cahill everything she that her father had taught her. Cahill was getting it down very quickly. Now it was time for the shooting of the arrows. Cahill was now standing with an arrow in place and was now looking down that staff of the arrow. She let go and the arrow messed the target. Anne smiled and walked over to her.
"Don't worry I messed to the first time." She told her. Cahill moved and tried again, and again she messed the target. Cahill did this until it was twilight. She was about to give up and go in when she heard his voice behind her.
"You are over thinking it." He told her. Cahill looked at the man that she loved.
"You need to find your center. Feel it out." He told her and helped her. She looked at the target again. She moved the arrow in place. She breathed in and let go. The arrow hit the target dead center. She smiled and looked at Al sah-him. He smiled at her and then moved and leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
"Really dad?" The kiss broke with both of them smiling at each other. They looked back at Anne who was standing there with a smile on her face. All three walked back into the house. .
"You know what I need father." She told him.
"What is that?" He said in his voice changer. Al sah-him stopped when Anne spoke her next words.
"I need a brother." She said. Now Cahill was looking at her.
"What?" Al sah-him asked her.
"Yeah an older brother." She smiled at him. Cahill watched as Al sah-him narrowed his eyes at her.
"Really?"
"Yup, I do." She said while still smiling at him. "And maybe a little sister." She said and walked off." Cahill looked at Al sah-him who was looking at her. He moved and pointed at her.
"No I'm not." She said to him.
"Oh." He said and then moved over to her and leaned down and kissed her.
"But maybe one day." She told him.
-A Few Days Later-
Cahill walked into her house. She sat her things down and went tot her room. She changed from her suit into a pair of jeans and a lavender t-shirt. She put on her tennis shoes. She walked into the kitchen and fixed her something to eat. Anne walked through the front door. Cahill looked over as she walked into the kitchen.
"Where have you been? It's late." She asked her.
"Oh I was with dad. He and I were training." She told her. Cahill smiled and she went back to fixing her and Anne something to eat. Unknown to them, they where being watched by a woman with red hair. Cahill put the dishes in the sink. She moved and turned off the lights off. She looked into Anne's room and saw that Anne was now laying down in her own bed. Cahill smiled and walked to her room.
-Later that night-
Cahill was laying on her bed in her jeans and t-shirt. She had fell asleep in them. She was awoken by Anne's screaming. She got up and ran to Anne's room. She was not there! She ran to her room and got her bow from under her bed. She got it and the quiver full of arrows. She moved and put the quiver around her back. She moved and put a arrow in place. Cahill moved through the house and looked from room to room. She walked slowly into the living room and saw a woman with red hair. She has her arm around Anne's neck.
"Well you mush be her mother." The woman said to Cahill. Cahill looked at Anne and then at the woman.
"Yes I am and your are hurting my daughter." She said in a strong voice.
"Let me go Flame!" Anne yelled at the woman. Flame moved to where she was going to break Anne's neck. She stopped and said.
"You know I am only doing this to teach your father a lesson." She told Cahill. She moved to snap the girls neck.
"NO!" Cahill yelled and let go of the bowstring and the arrow hit Flame in the neck. Flame let go of Anne and grabbed the arrow. She was making a sound like a gasping and chocking noise. She fell to her knees, and she looked at Anne and then Cahill. She pulled out a gun and moved it to Anne. She was about to pull the trigger, another arrow hit her in the heart. She dropped her arm and fell to the ground. Anne looked over and saw that Cahill had fired another arrow.
Anne smiled as Cahill ran over to her. She put her bow down and hugged Anne. Anne smiled at this. Cahill pulled back and looked at Anne. She saw tears in her eyes.
"Anne? What is it?" She asked her.
"You said that I was your daughter." She said with the hot tears starting to fall down her cheeks. Cahill remembered what she said and Anne was right, she did.
"Yes, I did and you are." She told her. "I love your father and…" She looked into Anne's hazel brown and said. "And you." This made Anne smile wide.
-Later-
LAPD came to Cahill's house. Roger looked at the body and then looked over at Cahill. He walked up to her and asked her.
"You shoot her?" He asked her.
"Yes, I had no choice. She was going to kill Anne." Cahill told him. Roger looked at Anne and then at Cahill.
"Why would she want to kill Anne?" He asked Cahill.
"Cause I am Al sah-him's daughter." Roger looked at Anne as she said this.
"You are?" He asked her. All she did was nodded her head.
-Later that night around two in the morning-
Cahill woke up to hearing voices. She got up and went to Anne's room. Anne was talking to her father. She stopped when Cahill walked into the room. Al sah-him looked at Anne and then looked back at Cahill. He smiled and looked at Anne again.
"You go to bed and I will talk to Cahill." He told her. She laid down and he moved and kissed her on the forehead. He got up and he and Cahill walked out to the living room.
"You said that she was your daughter." He said in a readable voice. Cahill didn't know if that was good or not.
"Yes I did. I hope that you don't mind?" She asked him. He turned and looked at her.
"No, I'm glad that you want to be her mother, and one day you just maybe her mother legally." He told her. She smile and walked over to him. She moved into his arms and leaned up and kissed him. After the kiss broke, she leaned back and said.
"I look forward to that day." This made Al sah-him smile wide.
