Jason hugs me into his arms . I want to resist but he doesn't let me . He is strong and warm but I can't break the obstacles that I put between me and him. He brushes my hair smoothly and leans into me to kiss me .
"No jason." I push him away
"Why Delia? Why are you refusing me eveytime ." Jason says. "You can be flirted with Edward or Joshua . Why can't you flirt with me ."
"You are my student !" I scream at him.
Jason laughs desperately. I am worried for him
"Calm down Jason." I try to sit he down.
"Student? Only a student. That is ridiculous ." Jason shakes his head . "Why did you treats me so well."
"It is always my intention to protect you . It is same as my instructor's intention to protect me ." I say
Jason sits down . His whole body relax on the chair . He is hopeless
"So that you are doing it just for the sake that you want to be a best instructor? You are but you are a horrible liar ." Jason says. "I can see that you care about me . If you try, then you can love me as well."
"Jason , don't think it too easily. I know that I care about you . It is all because that I don't want anyone to die again." I scream
Jason leaves after I scream at him. I regret of doing that. I want him to understand . The closer with me , the closer he is to the dangerous .
I walk out of my office and toward upstair . I walk into the fear landscape room and open the light. I want to go through the fears again
"Here to go through your fear ?" Someone is behind me .
I turn around and Edward is right there . He shakes his head
"I just went through mine . They reduced in the number already." Edward shrugs . "It is possible that your fears gradually disappeared ."
"I don't know will mine disappeared or changed ." I say
"Try it ." Edward beckons to me to sit down
He is working in the control room so he is good with computer . His father was once also working into control room before he passed away for the diseases .
He takes out a syringe and sticks into my neck. He then taps something on the screen and then I am gone
When I wake up, I am in the middle of the ocean. The water splashing on my body and I can't feel anything at the button . The fear of water is here still.
"The way to break out it is to swim deeper ."
I remembered that was what my instructor told me so I relax myself . I also know the two ways of breaking out the fear are either slow down the heartbeat or facing it directly.
I relax my body and let the water to consume me . I feel hard for my lung. It is sucking in much more water than I need to. I want to scream but the voice doesn't come out right.
When I wake up, I am in a dark room. There is only a circle of light in the middle . In the center of it , a boy sits there . I can't see him clear so I walk closer . He is someone that I know——jason walker
Before I met him, the man sits in the centre is mark . Now it changed into a different person . A gun appears in front of me .
It isn't real so it's okay for me to shoot at him. I take the gun and loaded it . I aim at the jason in front of me and shoot. I wake up with a loud gasp.
"Are you okay?" Edward helps me up.
"You are right. Something has been changing." I nod at him
"And then what is it?" Edward frowns .
I don't know how to say because that is awful.
"The second fear which I had to shoot a woman. Now the woman changed into Jason walker , one of my initiate."I shiver
"You care about him ."Edward says
I walk out of the room after it finishes .
The second day comes quickly and it is time to start a real fight. I am deciding who to pair up with. It is early in the morning after I finished my exercise . Jason is the best fighter as I believe so I want to put him with someone at his level.
"Johnson."
I type Johnson's name beside Jason and slowly matching others together . I want to break Jason and let him to fight until he can't continue . He will be alright. The initiates pile into the room after a long time.
Jason is the first and Jenny and Jessica are following him. William and Jeremy are wrapping arms around him
"So today , you will fight each other according to your strength and skills. We will rank you accordingly." I cough.
"When do we stop." Jessica asks
"Until you can't fight or you can surrender ."
Joshua shakes his head . Is he having something to say
"That is an old rule . New one , no one concede ." Joshua says .
"You want to lose one of them at this beginning?" I am shocked . "Acknowledge someone's strength is also brave ."
"You will be ranked so fight hard ." Joshua opens the screen. "Jason and Johnson ."
Jason and Johnson walk toward the stage . I grab Jason's arm
"Attack first and meet the weak spot okay? You are quick ." I release his arm then and let him go .
I am angry at Joshua . I didn't know that the rules have changed . I have to go ask alexander . However I need to see how Jason is doing.
They start fight each other . Jason punch's Johnson in his gut. Johnson screams and I feel sense of relief . Jason may not be defeated that easily. He will win.
Johnson gets up and charge at Jason and he dodged . Johnson misses the punch.
"Good job ." I clap my hand
Jason kicks him hard in his face and blood trimming down from Johnson's face .
"Good!" Jennifer claps her hand
Jason and Jennifer are close like besties . Jennifer sometime flirtatious with him but he doesn't like it. The last punch totally knocks off johnson.
"Jason wins ." I circle the name
I put down the pen and let Joshua takes care of the messed . I walk away from the training room and the next pairs are up. I walk toward alexander's office
"May I come in sir ." I knock the door
"Yes Delia , coming please ." Alexander says
I open the door and get in. I close it behind me
"Why didn't you tell anything?" I am angry
"What is that attitude !" Jessica stands up.
"Jessy, it's fine . I can solve this . Please leaves the room now ." Alexander rubs his own temple.
Jessica shuffles passed me . I sit down beside the table
"Why changed rule ." I hissed
"What rules." Alexander frowns. "The fighting?"
"Yes it is obvious that you knew it." I fold my arms
Alexander stops for whatever he is doing at the hand .
"Joshua suggested that and leaders voted for it. I was rejecting that but I have to respect everyone's choice ."Alexander shrugs
"So you never ask me or consider telling me ." I shout at him
"Calm down Delia ." Alexander stands up and comes toward me . "I don't want to hurt you. Your grandma is in hospital and she is dying."
Dying? My grandma is sick or injured ?
"What ? Is she injured ?"i step a side
"She is sick." Alexander sighs. "I will go with you together ."
"I want to go alone ." I say
Alexander insists that so I don't have objection to go . We leave the office . Joshua comes toward us
"Where are you going?" He grabs my arm
"I will have to go see my grandma ." I pull his hand away. "I barely know you Joshua ."
"Delia, are you angry with me for changing the rule?"Joshua asks
I don't want to talk to him so I chase after Alexander . We leave the compound .
"I know that your parent are both dead and now you maybe alone soon. I will be your family. I will take care of you." Alexander holds my hand . "You have to be brave ."
"I know Alex ." I nod at him. "Are you going to give Jessica a wedding?"
"I don't know because I only truly loved one woman before ." Alexander clinches his teeth . "Jessica was an accident."
I remain silent . However I can see that Alexander does has some feeling for Jessica . When some other man confessed to Jessica , he was pissed
"You love Jessica . You just don't realize about it." I say
"How?" Alexander furrows
"When that guy Alan confessed to her , you nearly killed him. You were jealous ."
Alexander looks at the sky. Yes he is thinking about it.
"Maybe yes." Alexander says
The train comes and we jump on the train . We see a groups Factionless man and woman .
"Alexander?" Someone calls his name
"Mia ?" Alexander steps back.
Mia is his ex wife . She supposed to be dead but now she is alive
"What hell are you doing here ?" I ask
"Oh Delia, now you are with Alexander? So quick ." Mia smirks at me
"I am just his ambassador .so you faked your death in the hospital and turn to factionless ." I frown
Someone jump on the train too. I turn around and see Jessica
"Jessie ."Alexander is worried . "You should be at home."
"Oh you have a new wife now ?" Mia laughs . "Well I am remarried too."
"Mia shut it. I love Jessica for sure . We are over ." Alexander points at her
Alexander finally confessed to it. Jessica is watery her eyes
"Alex , you never say this ." Jessica hugs him
"I never realize that Jessie until Delia told me that I was jealous ." Alexander sighs
