"I was asked to supervise training for the day." I answered as the instructor looked at me skeptically. "Supervise? Are you saying I'm not capable of controlling the new recruits?" Instructor Zani replied angrily. "Not at all, merely that Abberline, the girl over there" I gestured pointing in the direction Viktoria was in, "she has problems and I was sent to make sure she doesn't get too out of hand."
Instructor Zani still didn't believe my lies. "I don't think you're being honest with me." Zani said sharply, my throat tightened. "However," However? Where is she going with this? "I believe you do have good reason so for today only I will let you 'supervise' training." I breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, I won't bother you after today." Zani snorted at my comment. "Don't lie to me, we all know you'll come back. Even if I don't get to hear the reason." Zani always seemed to know what was going on even when she didn't. "You're too good at this." I said smiling as I walked away from her and towards the back of the room.
Once Zani got the trainees (including Viktoria) fighting, stabbing, punching, and kicking she gestured me over. "Yeah that Abberline is a real handful." She joked sarcastically. "Go on, supervise away." With that she seemed to blend into the shadows and disappeared in a way only Zani could manage. I walked toward Viktoria but didn't get to close since she had a blade out. Something was definitely wrong with Viktoria, she was being way to aggressive. Stabbing the dummy over and over where the nape of the neck would be. I watched stunned as she fought better than some of the captains. Twisting this way and that using her 3D maneuvering gear like she was born for it.
Suddenly she stopped and turned around to face me, "If you're looking for her I'm not her. If you need anything I'm you're cadet. So just stay away. I don't need to relive the past." Shocked by her sudden change in demeanor I turned my back to her and started walking away. I took about three steps before I felt something whisk past my arm. I looked down, nothing different. I looked straight ahead and saw the blade Vicktoria had just been using lodged in the wall in front of me. "I don't need to relive the past, and neither do you." Viktoria said from behind me.
Quick note! I really appreciate it when you leave reviews because it let's me know that someone actually wants to read my story! Also, sorry the chapters are so short but it's easier to get out more short chapters than a few long ones. Thanks for the support!
