Road To Si Part 1

5 hours after he went to sleep

Eli Pov

I awoke screaming at a nightmare, catching the attention of Six who was sat looking at the window to my left, Six responded to by bodily actions and said "its fine Eli your safe no-ones going to leave you", his large warm hand rested on my shoulder putting me at ease seeming to know what I was dreaming about.

He then handed me a drink of water to which I drank and I began to stand up with Six supporting me as we got up and began walking to the door. Soon after I was able to stand without support but Six was still near me reassuring me incase I fell, walking to the balcony on the triangle in Night Heaven I begun asking Six what did I say when I was asleep, Six with honesty answered "you kept saying father don't leave me and grasping the quilt you were laying under like it was your last life" I felt embarrassed my faced showed this however Six replied "were all here for you its fine if you show that side of you it'll allow you to recover, moving on you've got 6 days to get ready for the Si event are you up for it" I replied with a nodd, I noticed the relieved look in Six's eyes as I began saying "after myself exposing my secret to aruni I felt relieved and I'm assuming she told you and Sam and probably kali, I'm not gonna say it was a bad idea to tell you, telling someone removed alot of pressure on me so I thank you all for that (six nodded as I continued) are The teams finalised then" Six replied with a yes and mentioned do you want to start training " I nodded as I began walking down to the training area, Six gave me a small pat on the shoulder and left with a happy smile on his face. As I proceeded down I saw sledge, Eliza, twitch and ace. All of them greeted me and pointed towards my uniform incase I wasn't comfortable , I then shook my head and carried on walking down the stairs when I got on The last step sledge came up to me and asked if they could spar I agreed and we got ready and began walking to the small boxing ring,. Twitch, ace and Eliza stood around watching us. I then took my shirt of revealing my white pale body with many scars, since I spoke with Aruni I felt safer revealing my body and self so I stood proud with a small smile on my face after we were ready I taunted sledge, sledge with a smile on his face began advancing we traded a few punches with sweat flowing from our faces and my blue eyes stared right into sledge's

as we exchanged more punches I right cross him knocking him to the floor, starting the timer he got up quickly advancing, knocking me down straight after, a smile appeared on both our faces, Eliza who was watching whisperered to ace saying "he's changed, he's alot calmer now and less stressed what happened to him?" Ace responsed by saying "something for sure happened that made him calmer and more relaxed around us, I heard Sam and Six talking about him".

Our fight continued for another 20 minutes until we both gave up and rested on the floor sledge was laughing while I was smiling and whispering "so this is family". Eliza must've heard me and began saying "you got that right Eli" she climbed onto the stage and helped me and sledge get up. After we shook hands (me and sledge) and begun drinking our bottles of water.

3 hours later

soon after finishing training us 5 decided to have a chat I kept my past secretive and just began talking about operation Black Eclipse. Everyone was shocked at how open I talked about it but they knew I wasn't telling the reason for my Scars and didn't pressure me into telling me why I had them. We enjoyed having a casual talk I on the other hand was beginning to feel drowsy so I excused myself and went up to the room I was staying in and just fell asleep straight away.

3 hours before Eli finishing training

I went to visit Eli and saw he wasn't in his room so I went to find him after around 10 minutes of searching I heard laughter and the power of punches I wandered into a viewing platform where six and Sam were observing how Eli was doing I asked them while watching Eli spar "what happened to him" Six explained "he pretty much told aruni his past and she made him feel loved and now he finally feels like he has a family" I was shocked at first but began to understand why he did it, I began to explain to Six and Sam " I think he always needed to confess up but without having the confidence to do so I think him meeting someone with scars and injuries like him made him see he wasn't alone"Sam said after I'd finished" he's a good kid he just has too many barriers up which hide his true self or should I say how he wants to feel"as Sam finished we watched them spar for a little longer and we left to go prepare for the events to come.
