(AN/ Hey! I'm back! This may be the last update for a bit. I'm going back to school soon.)

The pain is intense. Striking through me, like a bullet strikes through a heart. I cannot feel anything from my father, has he no feeling of my punishment? Or has he got a block on my power? But why would he need one? Perhaps he doesn't want me to feel his pain... Or was Sky speaking the truth? NO! She was lying! Controlling me! But I still have that little voice of doubt in the very back of my mind. Taunting me…

Another painful strike to my back pulled my mind back to reality. He must have thought my back had had enough; he started striking lower down, to my backside and my legs…

I could feel blood pouring from me. I can feel myself losing consciousness. A warm welcome…

I awake in pain, laid on my front, to prevent extra pain. I groaned in pain. Why hasn't he healed me? I felt hands gently stroking through my hair. "Just lay still, it won't hurt as much." Daniel said soothingly. I tried to follow his advice; the pain was overwhelming so I tried distracting my mind as well.

"Why didn't he heal me?" I don't know who is in the room, only Daniel I hope.

"I don't know, he normally does after someone's punishment, but he refused with you." WTF?

"How long was I out?" Sadness poured from him.

"You have been out a week, Lola. And the war has gotten worse, we will need you soon. I don't understand why he won't heal you." What happened to kind loving father?

"What if he doesn't heal me soon? I will get killed out there! I've had no training!"

"You will have training; your father has demanded that you train today. Starting at noon… In five minutes. I'm so sorry Lola, I feel so helpless." The sadness is radiating from him.

"Daniel. You are the best person I have ever met; you're the most helpful person I could ever wish for. Could you help me up? I need to get ready for training."

Daniel helped me get up and dressed. It was very painful. The bandages Daniel put on my wounds (which were basically on my whole body.) were starting to leak, so he put another layer on.

I slowly and very painfully walked to my father's chamber. Preying that my father would heal me soon.
