Mila's Rage

Mila touched her forehead and her expression turned into anger. She took Rayla into her hand "Joey! Are you a fool? Your sister is on fire!".

"I-I didn't" Joey was speechless. "What do you mean you don't know? You left her out in the cold with practically nothing but wet clothes and expected her to be ok? Does she feel ok?" Mila took his hand and placed it on her forehead.

She was burning up and breathing heavily.

"Your sister is already sickly and she has you as her brother to thank for it. Have you ever wondered about your sister's condition? You of all people should know how sick she is, she is anaemic! What made you think it was a good idea to leave her here, are you dumb one or is it me?"

"Mila, I'm sorry"

*Slap!*

Joey was about to apologize but he was smacked across the face mid-sentence. "Don't talk when I'm talking to you, Sorry won't fix this mistake, Joey, what if she dies?". Mila slapped him again across the other cheek and they were both swollen red.

Joey couldn't say anything, he took the slaps she had given him. "Fool" was the last word Jacob said as she ran inland toward the house. Joey stood silently thinking about what he had done. After some time he slowly made his way up to the house.

…

When he arrived he waited for Mila outside. They were in a room locked, she stayed in there for hours when she finally came back out. She saw Joey at the door waiting for the "Don't say anything, I will deal with you later".

Joey immediately swallowed his words.

She brought things to the room and Jacob never moved from his spot. It was almost like that was his punishment. She continued to go in and out of the room, then finally she came out and looked at him angrily and said, "You come with me".

Joey couldn't tell what Mila was thinking but he knew that he was in some deep shit. She had never acted this way toward Joey so it was even scarier for him to see her like this. This was the opposite reaction he had expected from her, he was hoping to brag about his awakening and he expected a nice dinner or a celebration.

Despite that, he knew he messed up. He left his sister out in the open to catch a nasty cold. He didn't think a lot of things through.

Mila took him to the side and she was angry"What were you thinking about leaving your sister like that."

"I was worried that someone was going to find you so I waited ther-" Joey couldn't finish his sentence.

Ow!

Mila knocked him in the head with her knuckle."Why do you think someone would see me, do you think lying would get you out of this? Even if I was found out, what would you do? You think I would need help from you"

Mila thought Joey was lying she didn't know about the interaction between him and Ueno, she was the one that told him a lieutenant was in the area. It was normal for her to think about what she did.

"I'm not lying"

*slap!*

Mila slapped him across the cheek again "Even after you were inconsiderate and made your sister sick, you're still lying?". His cheek was swollen and his eyes were watering. He never bothered to reply, or he barely could.

"You left your sister out there in the cold to get sick because you were selfish"." You will be punished, Do you have anything to say?"

Joey just nodded his head.

Mila walked away and he followed closely behind her. She brought him to a clearing, where she took out a brand new spear from the things she carried. "Hold this' ', Mila gave him the spear. It was a beautiful white Jade spear, it had a long flat blade on its head. It had a dark dragon pattern running along its shaft, It was nothing short of beautiful.

Mila made him outstretch his hand and place a spear in his hand. He tried to use his other hands but Mila slapped away his hand. "You're gonna hold this until your sister's condition gets better or until I say so, this is not for fun and this is not your spear. It is mine. It's a beautiful 2400 pounds spear. If you drop it I'll beat you with it" Mila walked away and went into the house to tend to Rayla.

Her last spear was destroyed when she was fighting Sajin, and this was her new one. Joey didn't doubt her word one bit. In Joey's mind, he felt that she was being too harsh. She already beat him and he knew now what he had done was wrong.

After some time it quickly became increasingly harder for Joey to hold up the spear, Joey had barely gotten any sleep, he was waiting on Mila and lost a lot of sleep. His eyes began to shut down and his arms began to fall asleep.

He shook for hours at a time trying to muster up any strength he could find. Out of nowhere, the dragon stone in his pendant lit up slightly and cool power filled his best and his bones. Instant relief started moving through his whole body.

Joey never truly understood the dragon stone and its weird properties, and what allowed it to trigger power from him. Though was able to control his shaking somewhat, it was only the first day of his punishment.

His tiresome began to work less and less and no power could save him from his own body. Soon his eyes started to shut down and veins began to pop through his head. It was not coming closer to sunset and he was reaching his bodily limits.

It didn't take him enough time to lose the feeling in his body and collapse.

"You might have learned your lesson this time but don't think you got away. I'm just going to make your training much more hellish. You need to start thinking more you can't be all muscle, You need wit". Mila caught him as he was about to fall.

"I'm sorry", Joey muttered as he fell asleep.

"I know you are, but I'm the one sorry. I am not good enough for you, I wish I could have done more", Mila looked happy and sad at the same time.
