Y'all the reviews were so good honestly, I really appreciate it! Let me know what you think of this chapter!
I sit up. "Micheal…." I say. God, he somehow still takes my breath away.
"what happened? I don't remember anything after…." I can't seem to remember anything. Amanda comes in the room.
"Good, you are awake," she says.
"what happened?" I ask her.
"You were held captive by The Other Side, and tortured," she says. "you're lucky michael got there when he did. You were barely breathing when he found you. If he had gotten there any later, you would have probably been dead" I look at Michael, there seems to be something in his eyes, sadness maybe? "Hurry up, you and michael have to teach the recruits how to actually fight today" she says
"Teach the recruits…?" I say.
"Yes, like always. Be at the training floor in 10 minutes" she says.
I get dressed and Michael says "Are you sure you are ready for this?"
"Yes Michael, don't underestimate me" I tell him. As I'm about to walk out, he grabs my arm and pulls me into a kiss.
I smile and say "Amanda is gonna throw a fit if we are late" We go to the training level and walk hand in hand.
All the recruits stare at me and murmur. There, a young recruit with brown hair stared at me intensely, confusion evident in her eyes.
"Alright recruits, watch and learn" Michael and I position ourselves on the mat. He punches me, I dodge and punch him back. We fight for a while, until he kicks my feet out from under me and
pins me down.
"That is how you actually fight" Michael says and helps me up. We tell the recruits to pair up and practice. There is one girl that doesn't have a partner.
"You get to be with me, " I say. She turns and she is the same girl that was looking at me earlier.
"Nikita…."she says.
"wWhat are u doing here?" I look at her blankly
"It's me Alex!" she says
"I'm sorry, am I supposed to know u?" I ask confused. "Listen, I go through so many recruits a day, I don't remember names"
"Amanda, she messed with your head" she says in a panic. She grabs my shoulders and shakes me "Wake up Nikita" she says frantically "Please. Remember our fight. Our fight against this place." Alex looks around. I grab her arm and roughly drag her to a room.
I whisper frantically "Alex, if Amanda hears you talking like that, she will have you cancelled. Remember what I taught you, all the training, and….." I trail off.
"See Nikita, you do remember. I know you're in there somewhere. You just need to remember" she says.
"Listen recruit, I've had a rough couple of days. I'm not feeling like myself." I reply.
"Because you aren't yourself. You just-" Alex starts.
"Enough." I interrupt her, my voice raised. "One more word of this, and I'm going to recommend you for cancellation."
"But-" she says.
"Now I'll ignore this, but you're on thin ice. One more slip up and I'm telling Amanda and Percy. Now get back to training" I reply sternly. She nods relectuantly, and follows me out.
