Chapter 10: Training camp! Part 3

It has been three moons since we started training camp and two and a half moons since Ivan and I had our first kiss. We have kissed everyday since then. Things would be perfect if it wasn't for the fact that Garret the Bully and a couple of his friends were constantly harassing us.

If it wasn't for the fact that we aren't aloud to fight during training camp they would of gotten beat weeks ago. I try to stay in a group because if they find me alone they are worse.

We had just got done with the evening supper when Garret the bully unfortunately found me alone. "Well well well. If it isn't Vicky the bastard. Haha!"

I stood rooted to the spot in horror hoping that Ivan wouldn't come back and hear what they were saying to me. One of Garret's friends laughed ,"I'm surprised anyone would want to go out with a little bastard like you."

"He doesn't even know does he?" Asked Garret's other friend.

I shook as tears spilled out which only made them laugh harder,"Aww look the little kitten is crying!"

"Hahahahaha!" His friends all laughed with him.

I held my hands next to my body shaking trying to stop the crying but it didn't work.

"The bastard is crying! The bastard is crying!" The three of them sang.

Suddenly I hear a yell that makes everyone jump. I turn around and Tori and Ivan are walking over, and they look pissed. They stop next right next to me. Garret laughs again knowing that we can't fight him.

"What's the matter? Didn't you know the ba..."

"SHUT THE FUCK UP GARRET!" Tori screams loudly.

I looked at Tori in shock. I had never heard her talk like that before. I then looked at Ivan and seeing the look of fury on his face finally forced my body to move and ran and ran until I was in the bed room.

I thow myself on to the bed and sobbed. I sobbed so hard in fact, that I didn't notice right away that Ivan had followed me. I was suddenly in his arms with him gently patting my back.

After a few minutes I was able to stop the sobs and he whipped the tears away gently with his hand. When I was able to speak I asked,"Do you still want to be with me?"

He looked at me in confusion,"Of course. Why wouldn't I?"

"Because I was born to unmarried parents."

He frowned,"Vicky. I don't care about that. It's not important and anyone who thinks it is can fuck off."

"Really?"

"Yes really. I like you Vicky, a lot." And to prove it he kissed me gently on the lips. I kissed him back and when we broke a part I said,"I feel the same way about you.

Outside after Vicky and Ivan left.

Tori was glaring at Garret. If he didn't shut his mouth and soon, then she was going to hurt him, and she didn't care if she got kicked out of training camp. She was sick of his shit.

Kazbar and Valdis where walking up to the big group. They tried to see what was happening but there were too many of them. They walked around and then Valdis saw who it was she gasped,"Kazbar look! It's Tori and Garret the bully!"

They couldn't hear what Garret said but one minute they were standing there glaring at each other, and the next had their weapons out.

Rhonda, who was closer to Tori and Garret cheered,"Go Tori! Teach that bully a lesson!" With her cheer came more cheers from the group. Everyone except his friends liked him and Vicky hadn't done anything because they didn't want to get kicked.

But this time he had gone too far. Suddenly there was a yell of outrage. "What us the meaning of this!? Stop this right now!"

Rhonda looked behind her to see the training camp instructors. The group moved out of the way for the them as they walked up to Tori and Garret. Tori was still holding her mace and shaking in fury. Garret looked annoyed that they were stopped.

"Alright what is going on here? You know the rules. No fighting." One of the instructors a Imperial woman with black hair said crossly.

A Imperial who had seen and heard everything Garret had said to Vicky and Tori said,"He started this whole mess. He's been bullying everyone here since the first day of camp."

"Yeah." Said someone in the back of the group,"He's especially mean to those younger then him and has been calling a younger girl terrible names."

A Breton girl close to Tori said,"She was just sticking up for her friend when this scumbag called her a worthless bastard loving bitch."

The instructors scowled at the last part,"Is this true?" One of them asked Tori.

Tori put her weapon down and said,"Yes all of it is true. I'm sorry I got I to a fight, but I'm sick of him. She pointed at Garret as she said the last part,"Picking on my friend. She has done nothing to deserve it and she should be able to train without being harassed constantly."

Vicky's POV

Ivan was on the other side of the room drinking a cup of water when Garret the bully came storming in. I planned to ignore him but was unprepared when he ran over to the bed I was sitting in and slammed me onto the the floor.

I gasped for breath and flinched as he beat me into the ground. Suddenly he is off of me and I hear a big crash. Still trying to grasp for breath I hold my ribs that I'm pretty sure are broken. Unable to move I can only listen as Ivan and Garret attack each other.

The door to the bedroom is suddenly thrown open and I hear grasps of outrage. "Oh my gods Vicky!" Rhonda runs over to me followed by Tori, Valdis, and Kazbar.

Tori gives me a healing potion. I feel a little better after I drink it. By this time, Ivan is now standing over me, his eyes wide with horror, while Garret was being dragged out of the bedroom by some of the other campers.

Ivan lifts me up carefully and puts me back to the bed. "Are you okay honey?" He asks.

I look up at him,"I will be."

"What did he do to you?" Kazbar asked angrily.

I didn't say anything so Ivan told them what had happened.

"What!? It's a good thing Ivan was in here with you or he would of probably killed you."

It got very quit and I groaned at the pain still coming from my ribs. A few minutes later a healer came in to examined me. He was an older Imperial with short, balding gray hair. "They aren't broken just bruised." he told me. "Rest for a few days and you should be good to go."

Later that night before bed, Tori told us what had happened with Garret. The instructors, after hearing that Garret had been bullying everyone since the first day of camp, let Tori off with a warning. But Garret was kicked out. Apparently he blamed me for it and that is why he had tried to kill me. "Where is Garret now?" I asked.

"They sent him to prison!" said Rhonda with a smug look on her face.

"Ha serves him right!" Ivan said with a laugh.

"Haha it sure does!" I agreed smiling.

Everyone got into their beds and soon almost everyone was asleep. Ivan held my hand from his bed next to mine and soon I too was asleep.
