CHAPTER 5

Ted

"I treat you like royalty and you want more?" My father's voice screamed at me, his pulse easily recognized on his neck. "You worthless child!" He screamed again, but this time he raised his hand and slapped me round the check, most likely leaving a bruise.

Ted Holmes, formally known as Edward Reeves sat on his new bed, on the bottom bunk on the left. He had his hands gripping his ears, and sometimes pulling at his ears. He had his legs tucked into his chest and he rocked back and forth. Violent images were tearing through the five year olds mind, nothing could stop them, nothing can get rid of them.

Zara Asker looked upon the scene from the door of the tiny bedroom. She felt sorry for the five year old who had obviously been seen to many scenes of torture and abuse. She felt helpless as the five year old began to scream and tears poured out of the boy's eyes. But there was nothing she could do.

Ted's brother Collin was currently on his basic training and wouldn't be back for another ninety-nine days at least. Today was just day one of hell, and if she couldn't do something now then she would have ninety-nine more days of this.

She knocked on the door of the red shirt bedroom. "Ted? Ted Holmes?" Zara asked, trying to get the attention of the five year old. Ted quickly wiped his eyes on his sleeve and looked over to Zara, pretending that he hadn't been crying. "Yeah?" The boy's voice cracked as he looked up at Zara with puffy red eyes.

"Would you like to come with me? I've got a son that's around your age, maybe you could play with him." Zara suggested as she outstretched her arm so that Ted could take it and walk alongside her. "That'd be fun." Ted smiled and took Zara's hand

Collin

"Hello ladies!" Mr Takada greeted all of his ten new trainees. "Welcome to day one of a hundred, this one hundred day basic training is designed to get you ground kissers ready for missions." Takada continued patrolling in front of the small group. "You are all grouped together in two's, you will have to support and help each other within the hundred days," Takada paused and stepped in front of numbers one and two. "Ah, Mr Aarons and Miss Taylor, you two are couple one, I suggest you stop glaring at each other before your eyes meet the river." Takada spat at the two trainees.

"Miss Bale and Mr Tyler, couple two, hope you survive Tyler." Takada smiled tauntingly at James Tyler. "Jefferson and Richards, couple three." Takada noted. "Freeman and Warren, couple four." Takada stepped in front of the remaining two trainees. "Ah, Mr Bennett, I see that you have the same looks as the eldest Bennett," Takada greeted the boy next to Collin. "Bennett, meet Holmes, Holmes meet Bennett, I'm sure you'll enjoy each others company." Takada gave a watery smile and laughed as he walked away.

"Now, it's time for the assault course ladies." Takada laughed.

Poor Ted, eh? feel sorry for him, it even makes me cry :'(
