"Where are we going?" Cecily shouted as she was attacked by leaves and branches
"I'm going to train you. Remember?"
"Never would have guessed that one,Sherlock"she answered sarcastically
"That attitude really needs to go if you want it to work"RJ remarked as they reached a clearing
"This is where you'll train"
" Wow. How would I ever know that. Thank you so much for telling me"Cecily said robotically
"That's getting annoying,like really annoying. Now fight me" RJ anounced turning away from Cecily and walking towards the centre
"What?"
"I said fight me"
"Why?"
"Cause i'm your master and you do as I say"
"But I don't know how"
"Yeah you do"
"No I don't"
"But you do. You just don't know you do"
"Yer what mate"
"Your dad did teach you some things when you were younger"
"Doesn't mean I remember"
"Doesn't it?" he said "Fine then sit down and do some meditation then fight me"
"Wait. Am I fighting you or meditating 'cause I dunno how to do that either"
" Honestly. What do they teach you at school?"
"Normal stuff that could be helpful when getting a job"
"But I hired you without knowing what you know. How does maths or english teach you how to
fight or make pizza?" RJ said turning around. Looking at a confused Cecily "Just meditate,you never know how useful it could be when making pizza"
"But it won't be helpful. Quite the opposite i'd imagine"Cecily commented sitting down "See got me sitting. What do I do now ?" Cecily sighed. RJ smiled
"good"
"What's good?"
"At least I know where to start. Just close your eyes and listen. Just do what I say and everything will probably work out"
"Probably work?I've barely been here a day and i'm already doubting your methods. Do you even know what you're doing?"
" ,stop talking" RJ guided her and Cecily tried her hardest to concentrate. It was an hour later and suddenly she just dropped,after seeing her spirit animal.
" Cecily. You ok?"
" What was that?"
"Your spirit animal I guess. What is it .Lion,Armadillo,no wait, a giraffe"
"No,no and not even close"
"Then what?"
"I'm pretty sure it was a phoenix or some bird on fire"she said breathing hard. RJ helped her up and they made their way back to JKP. It didn't take long but it was pretty dark when they got there.
Lily and Theo were sitting at one of the tables talking and Fran was laughing with Casey when they came in. RJ frowned when he saw the state of the place
"Fran?"
"Yes"
"Didn't I leave you in charge?"
"Yes"
"I definitely remember telling you guys to keep the place in one piece while we were gone"
"It wasn't Fran's fault. Casey did it"Theo said instantly
"Oh,and what might Casey have done?"
"Don't look at me, it was Lily"
"Was not"
"Was so. You're the one who was in the kitchen at the time"
"So how's this my fault if I was in the kitchen. You and Theo were out here when it happened"
"I don't actually care whose fault it was just make sure you clean it up. Cecily ,I'll go tell your father what's happened see what he says about it. For the time being you will stay with Lily"He said before going to the loft.
"What happened with the whole training thing?"Theo questioned
"Yeah and why does RJ have to call your dad so urgently"Lily asked getting up
"I don't actually know what happened. He just seemed a little freaked out when I told him what my spirit animal was"
"What is it?" asked Lily
"What's what?"
"You know? Your spirit animal" Lily leaned in close to whisper
"I think a phoenix" Cecily replied quietly .The others looked at each over then ran to the loft,leaving a very confused Cecily and a scared looking Fran
"Why is everyone acting so strange about it?"
"I um,I don't know. They do that a lot" she said before starting to tidy the place up. She hoped it had reassured Cecily that it wasn't bad,even tho she didn't even know what Cecily had said or what they were talking about. Cecily just shrugged and decided to help Fran tidy the place a bit.
