Hi people! Im sorry it took a long time to upload. Here is chapter 9.


Chapter 9

I wake up with the caress of the morning sun on my face. I opened my eyes and saw that the light came from the terrace.

I stretched out and pushed the sheets off. I checked the clock and it was half past 8 already.

I got up and stepped out to the terrace.

The sun was already up but the morning breeze was fantastic.

I took a deep breath closed my eyes and just took the whole thing in.

I was away from home. No family, no school, no iCarly, no bullies and no Sam.

Then a knock came rapping at my door.

"Young master Fredward, are you up yet?"

It was Wilson, Theo's butler.

"Yes Wilson, I am up." I hollered across the room.

I walked up to the door to let Wilson in but he was gone.

Honestly, the dude gave me creeps. The dude was a ninja or so I thought.
He would come in go instantly. You can't even hear his footsteps. I even thought the old man was a ghost.

I shuddered and shook my head.

I changed my clothes and brushed my teeth.

I got out of the room and into the great hall.

"Wilson!" I shouted.

"You don't have to shout sir."

I jumped to the sound of Wilson's voice.

He came from nowhere.

"Are you a ninja? You almost gave me a heart attack!"

"My apologies sir. It's a family secret."

"Oh by they way, Master Theo is waiting for you at the dining room."

"Oh, okay Wilson tell him I'll be com-" He was gone.

I almost peed my pants.

So I tried thinking of something else to take away my thoughts from the ninja-like butler of Theo.

I remembered the days when Theo and I went to school together.

I missed those days.

He was probably the bestest (if ever there was a word) of the best friends I ever had. Well before Carly and Sam came.

We knew each other from elementary school.

I was a tech geek, He was a dork.

Of course, like bees on honey, we naturally attracted bullies.

But the best side about that is he took the abuse WITH me.

Through thick and thin, we were buds until he had to move away from some reason. (Which I now know that the reason he moved was when his parents left him.)

He was so much interested in the things that I did. So I taught him the ways of a techie. Which I didn't know that would turn him into a teenage millionaire.

He was down to earth, friendly, approachable and very witty.
Which made me doubt sometimes if he was also attracting bullies or it was just plainly me who did.

We turned electronic organizers into gaming consoles, (internet was not really in at that time except for business people.) Turned cameras into surveillance cameras , stuff like that.

We had so much fun until he just said that he had to move away.

Anyway, I got down to the dining room and I saw Theo at the far of the table sipping coffee while doign something on his computer.

"Yo."

"Hey!"

I walked up to him, "What are you doing?"

"Oh, just watching iCarly."

"Why would you be doing that?"

"I've been missing in on the webcasts lately due to some heavy-duty work."

"Oh." was all I could muster. I really didn't want to remember iCarly yet.

So to change the subject I asked. "What heavy-duty work?"

"Oh that, Some government dude asked me to hack into the Bank of Central America and send some money over."

"What! You helped a politician to steal?"

"Naw, no no no." He said while he was sipping his hot coffee.

"The dude wanted me to steal a lot and send them over to some orphanages and stuff."

"How were you sure that they didn't keep it?"

"I was the one that sent it."

"Oh." again was all I could say. He was visibly on a whole new level to this than myself.

"Sit down and have some breakfast."

I sat down immediately dismissing the sounds from his computer.

Then Wilson pops out from nowhere holding a plate of food.

"Seriously! You should stop doing that!" I shrieked while clutching my chest.

He just gave me a smile.

"Breakfast is served."

He slides the plate at the table.

Sunny side eggs and bacon.

"Thanks" I murmured.

He then stepped back and walked outstide the room.

I was about to eat my food when suddeny he pops up again.

"What now?" I asked with my eyes closed.

"Coffee? Tea? Anything?"

"Orange juice."

"Good choice sir."

I was so much accustomed to drinking OJ in the morning.

Then he hands some OJ served in a transparent glass goblet.

"Enjoy sir" He stepped back again and left the room.

Theo was staring at my direction with a smirk on his face.

"What?" I snarled at him.

He raised his hands and just grinned.

"You'll get used to it. It was also the same for me when he first came here." he said while trying to withhold his laughter.

"Yeah right. You're butler is creepy."

"He's more useful than you think. I bet he could help you with what you want to achieve." He smiled and went back to his laptop.

Yeah, He's right. Maybe I could get something out of him.

But anyway, breakfast is breakfast.

I ate and got up.

"Already done I presume?"

I glanced to my right and Wilson was there.

"Yes." I said plainly trying not to show a suprised look. AGAIN.

"Then i do believe it's time I show you your playground."

My playground? What is he talking about? I'm sixteen.

"Theo?"

"I'll catch up with ya. Just gonna finish this one." Theo said without taking his eyes from the laptop.

"This way sir." Wilson quickly interrupted.

He gave me a change of clothes, Black jogging pants, black hoodie and some black rubber shoes of some sort.

"What is this?"

"You're play clothes sir. Master Theodore got them for you."

Without a word I changed clothes and Wilson walked me out of the mansion.

There was a golf cart waiting outside and we drove some distance from the mansion. Then it came into view.

A series of structures that looked like a common neighborhood.

A makeshift building about 4 floors high and some single floorers, a small part of it looked like a park and another part looked like some amusement park line with a lot of handrails.

I saw a man standing atop one of the buildings that looked like a convenience store.

He jumped high tucked his feet in and kinda looked like an eagle with wings spanned out.

I didn't get to see him land since he was still some distance away.

I looked at Wilson and he just smiled.

"He's your trainer."

"Who?"

"David Belle."

"David who?" I asked again.

"David Belle, B-E-L-L-E."

"David Belle!"

David Belle was the founder of Parkour. The man who would soar over buildings.

"You got to be joking me."

"I certainly am not sir."

I was ecstatic. Theo got David Belle. DAVID BELLE! This is insane!

I almost threw a girly fit of shrieks but I managed to stop myself.

I excitedly got off and dashed toward the plaza ignoring Wilson.

But suddenly he popped out of the corner when I was about to get out of the alley I got into.

"Calm down, Monsieur Belle only talks in French. You will be in need of a interpreter."

He was right. So I stopped and walked with him, to the man who had wings.

I walked up and there he was David Belle himself. A muscled man, but light as a feather.

He looked at me, shaked my hand and smiled.

I couldn't help but smile too.

I had a look that one of star-starved fans would have when they met a superstar.

I goofy smile was plastered on my face like a mask that would dissolve.

Wilson snapped his fingers at my face and I was snapped back to reality.

They talked and Wilson said, "First step is to condition yourself."

David Belle waved at me and motioned me to the park area.

I started to warm up and David Belle just nodded and gave me a thumbs up.

We started conditioning but it was different from the ones I read about.

"Do what he does." Wilson said.

David Belle jumped up, knees to chest and landed on the balls of his feet.

I did the same. He nodded.

He jumped again did the same but added a push up to it.

I did the same as well.

We did about 4 and I was already out of breath.

"Get off your lazy butt and move it!"

Wilson was holding a megaphone and literally shouting at it.

"Do you want to get passed up again? Like some sad puppy in a window?"

"You call yourself a man Benson?"

I laid down on the grass and ignored him. I was still catching my breath.

"You will undoubtedly ba a nub for the remainder of your life!" boomed Wilson laid thick with his english accent.

I will not be a nub anymore.

I got up and did 6 more.

David smiled.

He pointed at himself motioning to follow him.

He got up and demonstrated a swinging motion with his hands and then jumped forward with a long figure then mid-jump leaned back a bit and landed on the balls of his feet and completely stopped.

I did the same and he pointed at himself again. He showed 10 fingers.

I nodded.

He demonstrated doing the jump in succession.

I followed and he added a squat thrust and a push-up midway into the squat thrust and jumped up again knees to chest and landed on the balls of his feet and bent down into a squatting position. He then showed a 10.

I instinctively rolled my eyes.

I did the same and did 10. My lungs were literally burning. Gasping for air. We only did two and I'm this beat?

"My grandmommy could do 20 of those and not break a sweat!" Wilson boomed again.

"Off your behind Benson!"

David Belle got up and started to make small hops with the balls of his feet. He showed 2 fingers.

That's it? So I did the same and made two small hops.

He put his hand up. 2 fingers and pointed out to his wrist.

"He means 2 minutes you ninny!" Wilson said.

I just shrugged my shoulders and started doing the exercise.

This is a piece of cake.

First 30 seconds was comfortable.

Next 30 seconds my legs were already on fire.

Next 30 seconds and I can no longer feel them.

Last 30 secs and I was already crying out to stop.

I bent down and massaged my legs.

David Belle motioned me to get up. He started jumping with only his right foor.

I pointed at myself and pointed out to what he was doing and then pointed it back to muself.

David Belle nodded.

So I repeated what he did. and also on the other foot.

My legs almost gave way beneath me. David held my arm and motioned me to follow him. He ran.

I dragged on behind him, I couldn't even feel my legs and feet now.

This is punishment. I didn't expect aything like this.

"Oh cmon Benson! Wanna go back to mommy?" Wilson mocked again.

I straightened myself out and ran after David.

David looked like he was jogging but I was already sprinting.

I huffed and puffed. around the makeshift park trying to keep up with David, even I was determined the physical difference between us was too big.

David Belle glanced back and stopped.

"Good work Benson" Wilson shouted again.

"We are done for the day." Wilson added.

David Belle looked at me and walked toward me.

He shaked my hand and smiled.

"More tomorrow." Wilson said and motioned me toward the Golf cart.

This was going to be my training regimen for the next few months.

It's gonna be one grueling stay here. But I know it's gonna be rewarding in the end.


Again sorry for the long delay. A lot of stuff happened. Don't worry this will be the last time this ever happens. I hope.
