Second chapter! I know I didn't write that to be very harsh, but what kind of a beginning would that be? In this chapter, you see a lot more of what you'd expect in the Abbey. Poor Bizzy!
(What the demolition boys are wearing is the same as in the first season, as well as Kai. )

Elisabeth woke up to shouting in the hallway. She looked around the room. The clock read 4:57 in glowing green. Even through the pitch-blackness she saw T'atiana sitting on Aoki's single bed comforting the younger girl. Elisabeth sat up and pulled her legs over the side of the bottom bunk in which she slept. She walked over to her roommates and sat. They heard bumps and crashing sounds. Someone was probably caught out of bed.
The voices weren't clear, and the victim of this early-morning raid would probably be put into isolation for a few days.
Elisabeth shivered at the thought. She remembered her four days in isolation. They were detention cells far under ground. No food, water once a day. Sometimes they whipped you beforehand, depending on what you did.
She shuddered once again, visibly. T'atiana put a comforting hand on her arm. She too, had been in isolation more than once. The fell asleep, huddled together on Aoki's bed.
When they awoke, it was 5:50. Breakfast was in ten minutes, followed by Saturday training. Elisabeth remembered that they had a team touring Balkov today. That's what the teens here called the upper level of the Abbey.
She shook it off and woke the girls, standing up to get dressed. She opened one of her drawers and pulled out her usual outfit. It had changed to suit the life she was now used to. She now wore a crimson sweater to match her streaks, covered in a small black vest that only covered the top or her torso with a reflective strip horizontally across the center. She now had black cords with the same reflective strip, but vertical down the hem. Her hair had grown considerably.
She yawned and snapped her head towards the door as the familiar clicking sound rang in her ears. Kai poked his head in.
"Ready to eat?"
She smiled to him. She looked at T'atiana and Aoki, still getting ready. Aoki nodded, so she left, hand in hand with Kai.
By the time they reached the cafeteria, breakfast had begun. They found trays and served themselves from the usual counter. They looked to their usual table and of course the early birds Rurik, Andy and Amelia were sitting, not eating, and talking about music.
Andy was wearing her usual gray sweater/Red tank combo with her massive brown cargos. Amelia wore a dark purple sweater, partially covered in a sleeveless navy-striped white belted jumpsuit. There were navy buckles around the elbows and knees and she wore black boots; this was the new Amelia.
Rurik wore his usual brown long sleeve shirt that fastened onto his middle fingers. He had a navy vest like Elisabeth's black, with a white strip as opposed to a reflective one. He wore baggy navy pants with white suspenders hanging at the sides. The pants, in army fashion fit into his brown boots just below the knee.
They sat down and ate, mostly in silence. Elisabeth watched the other girls walk in. Aoki wore a light blue ¾ sleeve and darker blue baggy pants. T'atiana wore a sweater/jumpsuit too, except the sweater was mahogany with gray stripes on the jumpsuit which also tucked into a pair of black boots just below the knee; and finally, Lia with her red sweater, black vest and brown pants, somewhat like Andy's.
Aoki and T'atiana walked over to get food and Lia came over to sit.
"Not eating today Lia?" Elisabeth asked, concerned.
Lia spaced out at the center of the table, shaking her head. Boris walked in, closing the door with renewed vivacity. Elisabeth, along with the rest of the table, scowled at the sight. They knew then why she wasn't hungry. Elisabeth put a hand on her shoulder. She looked helplessly at Rurik, who usually cheered everyone up, considering of course, just how cheery you can be in a place like this. He shrugged.
Sending him an apologetic look, she turned her attention to the rest of the table. Kai was eating his food as usual. Lia was...spacing out. Aoki and T'atiana were sitting now too, eating and chatting animatedly of what they could do tomorrow on their free day. Rurik and Andy, sharing a private conversation. Nothing new there. Everyone knew he liked her. And then there was Amelia, who was sending dark looks every which way.
Elisabeth looked at this scene. Amelia was changing in the Abbey, into the callous, pitiless people they were forced to be in battle. She frowned. Amelia used to be caring. Boris was changing that and it was like she didn't even care. Elisabeth cared. It was her fault Amelia was here in the first place. I should have just gone with them the first time instead of running.
'Then would it have been me instead of Andy who beat Tyson in battle?'
She thought about it.
She never would have known Kai or the Bladebreakers, Hilary, Kenny. Even Mercedes who was still safe at Tally's house and...
'Tally!'
Tally would have been captured too. Her whole life as it was would be flipped upside down. It made her head, and her stomach hurt.
Her eyes refocused and she became aware of her situation. Everyone was staring at her, not moving or making any sound.
She looked at them, confused. She then felt a hand on her shoulder and knew why they were staring. She understood the look of horror on Lia's face. Boris was behind her. Shivers were sent down her spine as Boris clenched her shoulder in a vice-like grip. She tensed.
"In my office. Now."
She bit her lip and winced as he released the grip and walked out of the cafeteria.
Her eyes showed her terror. Last time she had been in his office, she had been badly beaten and raped, had three ribs broken and a wrist.
She pushed all thoughts from her head. She didn't want to show him fear.
Sending a last glance at her table, which was already plotting ways to get her out, she left. Kai followed shortly after, but lagged behind. She now knew the drill. She smirked to herself. Boris' office was just outside the cafeteria. Her team had a plan.
She walked in, receiving a last reassuring glance from Kai.
She waited for the purple-haired man to start speaking.
After a long silence, "You're car is fixed. It is arriving later today. You will be reprimanded for allowing her access to your car."
She was furious. "How can me, getting a car from my Father be my fault? Why the hell should I be punished for something I didn't do?"
"Because, and you will not question Balkov Abbey girl, do not be sadly mistaken."
"Yeah well fuck you and fuck your precious Abbey!" She was now being stupid, which she somehow always managed to do whenever she was in Boris' office.
He pulled a whip from his desk and lashed it her. Her cheek burned horribly, as if it were on fire. She let out a small whimper, not letting him have full satisfaction with his previous action.
"Your shirt girl."
She new better than to fight now, of all times. She would just be punished more. She lifted her sweater, exposing her porcelain white stomach.
He lashed at her, furiously. With each irate SNAP of the whip, more and more blood seeped onto the now reddening surface. Her lip, which was now bleeding as well from her biting so hard, had also begun to swell.
'Oh great, wont I look nice tomorrow? Man this is going to fucking ruin my day.'
Kai, sitting outside had heard the cracking sounds and rushed to the cafeteria.
He had not finished after ten minutes. No, he had just dropped the whip then. He kneeled before her standing figure and licked at the blood on her stomach, fighting himself on whether he should start off higher or lower. He decided on higher and began unzipping her vest, tears filling her eyes while he did so.
Then came something Boris did not expect.
"FOOD FIGHT!"
'One of the un-familiars is starting trouble again.' He thought bitterly. Those are the ones without names. They either came, revealing none or would not answer to any, thus not speaking and was unrecognizable from the others.
He grumbled and stood, releasing Elisabeth.
He pointed at her as he left and simply stated, "Stay."
She quickly retorted, "I'm no damn dog."
He could do nothing as the commotion coming from the cafeteria was deafening.
She walked out of his office and around the corner and received a massive hug from Kai. His eyes showed as many tears as hers. He offered to carry her, but she declined. Together they walked back to the boys' quarters, where she went when she was in trouble or in pain. She was now in pain.
He reached the end of the hall and even before the initial thought occurred to open the door, the cafeteria was silent. Boris cursed to himself, being outsmarted again.
