January, 10th 3015 Saturday

It's been 5 days from the fight and my family is still in bed full of pain. I'm the only one that can fight until they can, I never fought alone before and I've already been to a few battle's by myself it wasn't that bad but I was so tired afterwards. From the attack at the school I haven't been back there and I didn't talk to Skylar either. The last attack I went to it was really difficult because my arm is still in a little in pain but I've had worse I almost died plenty of times I find it funny not anyone else does though. Mr. T has been training me really hard more than before I think it's because I'm alone but I apparently I'm the best fighter he has ever seen and I'm only 16.

I'm sitting in the main room where we usually talk about how to stop the monsters, watch TV or my favorite play video games. I wasn't doing either though I was just laying down I was too tired to walk to my bed I know that's just laziness but after hours and hours of training that's my best excuse.

"Ashley are you ready for round 2?" Mr. T asked. I sat up and looked at him surprised "THAT WAS ROUND 1!" he nodded. I groaned and laid back down "Nope, I'm done for today now I'm going sleep so goodnight" He laughed at me and said "It's only 4 o'clock you're not going to bed just yet, plus what's her face is at the door"

I looked at him confused…does he mean Skylar? I'm usually not allowed her here because well it supposed to be a secret location so I'm nowhere near the city more by the lakes full of tree's its very beautiful mainly at night.

I got up and walked over to the door and Skylar was there, I walked over to her smiling as usual. She looked at me then ran over to me and hugged me, I hugged back but confused a little. "I missed you too?" I said questioning. "I said no dying, and you didn't go to school at all so I got worried and biked my way here, it's good to know you're alive now" She said smiling really big, I looked at her then laughed a little I always find it funny when she worries about things but never me so I laughed. "Hey, it's not funny…" I tried to hide my smile but laughed again, she rolled her eyes at me.

I took her hand and pulled her inside, I took her outside in our gigantic yard but full of training equipment with a great view of the lake. I pulled her over to the grass where I go to think or 'meditate'. We sat down on the grass and I let go of her hand. "Ash…are you scared to die? Like I've seen you fight monsters fearless and come out either very hurt or not a scratch at all, last time you were extremely hurt I thought you would die but yet here you are"

When I was really hurt it was with the master of the monsters…we call him Mr. M because it's bad to say his real name. Anyway we were all in battle, Mr. M was about to take over the world he made it all change color everything looked red…he has this water sort that's kinda like lava but completely red and it can't kill you right away just burn then kill. When he came here my family was fighting his minions and I thought I could go after Mr. M by myself but I completely failed…he slashed me by my stomach and I fell to the ground screaming in pain and that got James attention. James was my brother…he ran after me to try to get me away but Mr. M saw he was coming and shot him down…he fell beside me, I looked at him horrified. He whispered to me "…Don't be afraid to do anything, don't forget who you are…stay my little sister" After that he was gone, to this day I still blame myself for his death if I didn't go running at Mr. M he would still me alive.

I looked at Skylar and shook my head. "I'm not afraid of anything especially dying, my brother wasn't afraid and I'm not either" I said with a little tears I quickly whipped them away. "So how was school? With the bitches" I said nudging her a little. "It's normal nothing really changed, Addison still owns the place and Cleo is still filthy rich".

I didn't say anything I just leaned back and looked at the lake. We sat in silence for a few minutes, until I heard my name. "Miss Infinity your family has woken up and would like to see your face" Mr. T said talking like a butler, he only talks like that to get a laugh out of me. "Why thank you Mr. T I'll go see them in a minute" I said in a British accent and Skylar laughed. I got up to leave but Skylar grabbed my hand. "Umm...when you get back I have to tell you something" I nodded and walked away.

I walked in the room where my family was and they all looked well. I sat down beside my sister on her bed and she sat up to hug me. "How are you guys feeling" Beth let go of me and said "We're fine better than ever, it's good to see you again too" I smiled and put my arm around my sister but I winced a bit because my arm still hurt a little. Beth looked at me she saw me wince and questioned it. "It was the monster he shot my arm but it's not that bad now" Beth looked mad I didn't know why it wasn't my fault I got shot. She called Mr. T and he came running in, "Is something wrong?" She stood up and walked over to him she looked furious so I stood up and walked over to them. "You said she didn't get hurt and you lied so now I'm going to..." I cut her off and said, "You are going to go back to bed and forget it all" she tried to put up a fight but I gently pushed her back to bed.

"I'm gonna let you guys rest more I'll see you all later" They nodded and went back to bed. I went back outside to see Skylar she said she had to tell me something when I come back and I was kinda curious. I walked over to her then sat down, I looked at her and she looked nervous. "You okay, Sky?" She nodded but didn't look at me. I waited for her to say something, but she stayed quiet. Then she cleared her throat and slowly started to talk..."I um...I should've told you a while ago but I was too afraid..." She paused and took a deep breath.

"I...well since I met you I kinda sort of um uhhhhh...damn why is this so hard!" I laughed a little and she glared at me, I stopped and kept looking at her. "I might have a little crush on you...I never told you before because I don't know how you feel about the opposite sex..." I didn't say anything I just looked at her I was kind of shocked that she said that but I was really happy she said it too because I also had a crush on her just never said anything. My heart was beating really fast I didn't know what to say or do. "Um...Ash please say something or do something? Anything? Hello are you there?!" She waved her and in front of my face and I took her hand in mine, her skin was soft it felt so good. I smiled at her and looked in her eyes, they were so beautiful nice blue eyes and light brown hair.

I bit my lip, I looked back at Skylar her blue eyes looked back at me she still looked really nervous and terrified. Her hand was still in mine, I loved it honestly. I leaned in to her until our foreheads touched. My heart kept beating faster, Skylar kept her head down looking at our hands still together. I cleared my throat and that made Skylar to look up at me, she had tears in her eyes? She quickly stood up and grabbed her bag and ran away.

"Skylar! Wait!" I stood up and started running after her, she got to her bike about to take off I jumped in front of the bike so she couldn't leave. "Ash, move I shouldn't have said anything I'm..." I cut her off by leaning into her and kissed her. Our eyes were shut, I have to admit it I loved it...it just felt so good her soft warm lips against mine. We stood there kissing for a while until she pulled away, she was smiling I was too.

"Why did you do that Ash" She got off her bike and stood in front of me. I took her hands in mine again I looked straight at her in her eyes smiling and said, "Obviously because I like you too just shy to say anything, I didn't want to wreck our friendship" She laughed at me and I blushed in embarrassment. "That's also why I didn't tell you" I smiled again and pulled her close to me and I wrapped my arms around her waist and she put her arms around my neck. We leaned in and kissed again for a while until her phone rang, I groaned I didn't want to stop. "Aww does Ashy want more" I stuck my tongue out at her and she answered her phone.

"Hello...oh hey mum...I'm with Ash at her house, I know...I biked..." I heard a big WHAT on the other side of the phone I live far away from the city 2 hours away actually, and the fact she biked this far to see me...I felt special. "Okay so then are you going to pick me up? Well then ill bike back..." I looked around it was starting to get dark by the time she gets home it would be black out, I would let her stay here but since my family is on bed rest she won't be allowed. But we do have a gazebo we could stay in, I pointed over to it for Sky so she doesn't have to bike home.

"Um...can I just stay here and come back home tomorrow?" Skylar smiled and nodded her head to say she was allowed, I jumped in excitement. "So? I don't need clothes I can change tomorrow...Okay love you too bye" She put her phone back in her pocket. "We should get your bike in the shed then sneak the gazebo keys" I said and grabbed her bike, we rolled it over to the gazebo and I turned to Sky, she was smiling. "What ya smiling about" I said, "Just that I finally told you how I feel that's all it, felt good to...but I didn't expect you to kiss me and like it" I smirked and looked at her "I didn't like it..." She looked down sad but I took her hand and continued "I loved it" She looked up with the biggest smile on her face, she jumped up at me and kissed me again. I held her for a while them we broke apart "Sorry need air" I laughed and nodded.

I walked over to the door to get the gazebo key, I opened it and slowly walked in. Skylar stayed outside so she couldn't get caught by Mr. T. I went to the computer and grabbed the keys I quickly turned around to run but Mr. T stood before me. I smiled nervously at him, "What are you doing with those" He asked in a deep voice, "I was going to sleep in the gazebo tonight" He nodded and let me by I sighed in relief..."Ash I know Skylar is here...this will be our little secret from your parents okay?" I smiled and nodded I was going to run to the gazebo but I turned and hugged Mr. T then ran off.

I got to the gazebo but didn't see Skylar "Sky" I yelled suddenly I felt a big pressure on my back it was sky. We fell because of the sudden weight. We laid on the ground laughing, I kissed her forehead and stood up. I helped her up and we went in the gazebo, there was 2 beds, a table with chairs, and an old stereo. I brought in Skylar's bike and locked the door, I turned and Skylar was already in the bed all snuggled in blankets. She waved me over to lay with her and I did, she came close to me and put her head on my shoulder. "Goodnight Ash" I kissed the top of her head and said "Goodnight Sky".

_End of day _
