Chapter 8: Won't Give In
Justin headed home thinking about what would happen next with this bar but mostly about what to do about getting his power back. Once Justin walked in through the front door he noticed it was far too quiet at his old home. "Mom, Dad, Max? Where is everyone?" Justin yelled out and then Theresa came down the stairs. "Hey mom, where is everyone?" Justin asked.
"Max left to the island where we took our vacation spot last. I'll never forget that moment." Theresa said not able to remember the name of the place at the moment. "Your father is out and about, he is beginning to regret sending Alex to boot camp." Theresa said sitting down on the table.
"Of course he…boot camp?" Justin asked surprised to hear that daddy's little princess would be sent somewhere like that. Theresa nodded and Justin smiled happily. "It's about time that daddy's little princess gets a workout. I only wish I could see her now. She must be hating it there." Justin smiled and then left leaving his mother alone on the couch. I may not have to worry about taking Alex's power now; she'll probably mess up enough to have them taken from her." Justin smiled going back to his soon to be old home.
Back at the boot camp, Alex had just headed to lunch. She grabbed some food and then sat down next to Stevie. "Stevie, there has to be some way to get out quickly right?"
Stevie swallowed her food and then looked over to Alex. "Look, just do what they say ok." Stevie then put the last amount of food in her mouth.
"Yeah right, I'm getting out one way or another." Alex said as she stuffed her face with food. Stevie shook her head. "What? Alex asked.
"Slow down Alex before you choke." Stevie said getting ready to stand up. Alex was about to comment when she saw Miss Hanson walking by. Alex looked down at her and smiled and Stevie noticed this. "Alex don't." Stevie said knowing what Alex had in mind.
Alex started to get up just as Miss Hanson was walking by and then flipped around quickly and poured her food all over Miss Hanson. "So sorry." Alex mocked
Miss Hanson smiled and then looked over at Alex. "Very cute Cadet but you won't when you go hungry tonight." Miss Hanson said and then walked off cleaning herself off as she went.
Shortly after lunch Miss Hanson came over and had Alex follow her to a small area filled with boulders. Alex looked around and saw some tools that she only recognized because of watching T.V. on a constant bases. Miss Hanson picked up a pick axe and then shoved it into Alex's hands. "This you will use to break away the boulders. Depending on how much you finish before tonight will determine if you get to go to bed or not. Now get to work Cadet." Miss Hanson said and then left.
"I swear I wish she were a man so I could hurt her where the sun don't shine." Alex said raising the pick Axe into the air and then slamming it against a boulder. The axe bounced off the rock. "I hate that woman so much." Alex said as she continued to try and break the boulder apart. Alex hit the boulder three more times and then it finally chipped and soon she heard footsteps. Alex looked over to her right toward some of the field and saw everyone with flags around their waists. Alex dropped the axe and then went over to the cage she is in. "I want to play, actually I want to sleep but if I had to choose, I'd rather play." Alex said seeing them throw a football around. Alex then fell to her knees and then laid down when a guard came over to Alex.
"Wake up; you have a job to due." The guard said keeping Alex from falling asleep and then handed her some water. "Drink up and then get back to work." The guard then turned and watched as the group played football.
Alex wearily drank up the water and then picked up her pick axe. "I should use this to break her apart." Alex said loud enough for only her to hear and then pound on the rock some more. Alex had spent two hours picking at the boulders but had only made a hole in the rock. "How can she expect me to do this? This is completely stupid." Alex whined and continued to pick at it and then noticed the top get loose. "Great, Now I'll have to get a new pick axe thing." Alex said and then thought of something. "Or maybe I'll wait a little bit." Alex said as she broke off the top.
That night Miss Hanson had been drinking some coffee after sending all the girls to their rooms to change. "I suppose I should go check out how the Cadet is doing." Miss Hanson said as she stood up and walked out of her room to see all the girls changing into their pajamas. Miss Hanson smiled seeing her obedient cadets getting ready for bed. 'Good thing we still have one Cadet that isn't so good or I'd be bored.' Miss Hanson thought as she walked out of the room. She walked all the way to the where her cadet is and looked to see that not much had been done. 'She is going to be here a while.' Miss Hanson was about to walk away when she saw something written on one of the boulders. Miss Hanson went over to it and pushed Alex to the side. "What is this?" Miss Hanson asked Alex but got no reply. Miss Hanson read it and then grew furious but quickly calmed down after reading the very vulgar things written. Almost every cuss word known is written on the boulder. "You get to bed now." Alex smiled and then ran off as Miss Hanson took a picture of what is written.
