Future Defenders

I don't know about Selina's magic, I think I still feel weird when I'm around her, Lyka thought looking at Selina, observing her every move, flick of hair, smile, laugh and everything that makes her, her. Uhm! Stop Lyka, what are you doing? I don't know what's happening to me, as if I am really in to this foxy girl. Haaa!, please let this be just the magic kiss she gave me and nothing more. I'm just imagining things and all.

It hasn't been that tedious when it comes to training. Reka only gave us instructions on doing regular jogs every day actually, every 5 am in the morning. Then at 7 am, we all go for breakfast and classes. Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays we attend regular lessons on different subjects including language, communication, music and arts. These include joining clubs such as theater, science, painting or ceramics making/ sculpting and more.

Selina and the other girls are already close even at the start of the semester. I became friends with Selina but after the strange incident her kissing me, I make it a point to be far away from her as possible even if we see each other almost every day because we are unit mates remember. Anyway, Benedicta was nice enough to offer me her friendship and some other gals from other sections such as Kendra, Valiante (Valan) and Sussa.

I have been busy with school and training that I couldn't even think about Selina, Lyka thought listening to her professor in Literature. Selina have been busy too. Preoccupied thinking about Lyka. Since the accidental kissing incident she felt that Lyka have been withdrawn lately. She believed that it was the reason why she is aloof and quiet every time they bump into the room or when using the bathroom. I can't live like this so I need to talk with her about it.

Or I will be forced to swap rooms with Benedicta, besides they seem to be good friends and work well together, Selina thought looking at Lyka and how focused she is with her studies in Literature and how I felt jealous with Benedicta from being with her almost all of the time that I couldn't even talk with her in private.

Training have been hard because we need to wake up at 5 am in the morning which I'm not really used to. And now with Lyka being my unit mate it made it more difficult to focus and make the right decisions in my military combat and shooting. Damn the girl, she really is messing up my mind!

Lyka have been seeing Selina looking at her too. She seemed agitated and always giving her an angry or disappointed look every time Benedicta or her other friends get too close or happy with her.

Selina couldn't take it anymore so she pulled Lyka by the arm in the girls bathroom. Selina, what the heck?, Lyka said starting to feel uncomfortable being alone with the fox. Yeah, ah I just want to talk with you and it's urgent!, Selina added but couldn't say what she wanted to say at first.

What?, Lyka cried starting to feel weird being close to Selina. Ah, why are you ignoring me?. I mean we're friends right. Why are you trying to avoid me? Was is about the kiss or Benedicta? What?, Selina, now being anxious and trying to box Lyka from trying to get out of her reach. Selina, no, it's not, I'm just busy. Besides you have your friends too, Madie and Silka....

Mourna and Fiesto!. Selina mentioning her other friends names since Lyka are pointing them out. There you go! So we both have friends and all, right!, Lyka added faking a smile. This is not like you. I felt that you cared about me, I mean you're truly concerned about what happens to me!, Selina said like she's about to cry.

Selina, maybe you have forgotten that you robbed me of my first kiss which I already forgave you doing. But I want to be focused and sometimes.....

I'm a distraction. I get it. But I'm distracted my you too. You're making me crazy worried about you, really!, Selina said now getting agitated. I like you Selina but as a friend and nothing more!, Lyka lying thins time.

Okay, I can take that but please don't avoid me. I'm sorry with what I did before but can you just be the same girl that I met the first who genuinely cared for me?, Selina added crying in front of Lyka.

Are you crying?, Selina, this is crazy!. What do you know, the cold hearted fox bitch can cry. But why are you sobbing?, Like I'm going to die or something! Lyka said smiling at Selina.

Maybe, If I swapped room with Benedicta that can make you happier and safer?, Selina said not looking at me. What? Selina you're not going to swap rooms with anyone. I'm here, I'm your friend and I'm not going to leave you!, Lyka giving Selina a hug and both fell on the ground of the girls bathroom. I just don't want to lose you!

Margaret Wilson was just one of the women that Selina's family especially her dad ordered to be killed or be annihilated. It's not so much that Orange Foxes moreover the Orange Family get to be praised for their generous heart helping and donating money to the poor and elderly. Domingo is an elite businessman who owns more properties than Reka or once before known as Reagan Mcullock. Count Domingo Orange (Orang-he) is a powerful fox and from the bloodline of the wild wolves. He came from the elite and will always stay elite. So, he didn't want Selina to just have flings or partners that is below their class and will never allow his daughter to marry a poor woman. It was enough that he leaened about her sexuality and accepted it though he was opposed to Selina's lesbian tendencies since he wanted to have grand children with her as the only child and heir of Orange family.

You were the one who ordered Ms. Wilson to be destroyed? Right, dad? Why did you do it dad? Why Maggie? I loved her!, Selina shouted after walking uninvited by the quorum while his dad is having ir with his business partners and leaders from Asia. Have I not brought you up to respect your father and his business partners especially on this occasion? We will talk at home later. Excuse me gentle men, women for my daughters insolence!, Domingo said coolly.

No, tell me and you just need to agree or disagree with me. Did you? Selina asked now pretty calm and composed.

Yes and because she is not right for you!, Domingo cried and waved his hand for Selina to get out of the room escorted by the guards which the girl disagreed to comply by taking her arm away from one of the black suited guys.

Selina reached her apartment and shouted to the top of her lungs and cried for three dayas because of Maggie's death. She sent flowers to her beloved teachers grave and sent money to her family who she named as unknown. She didn't want them to know that I sent the money like a kind gesture for forgiveness given by me instead, for the heartache I caused them losing their talented and beautiful daughter or family member. I hated my dad and several girls have suffered bruises or harassments every time I get to like or love someone. And it's not going to happen to you Lyka, Selina said telling the whole story about the girls she liked that's suffered unfair consequences because of her infatuation with them.

Both girls are back in their unit and Lyka prepared tea for them. Well, I don't think that would happen to me, my grandma is rich, that was what mom said and so, maybe I can be an exception for you. Even if we are just friends, I think you shouldn't worry too much about it. And now, rest. You've been through a lot. I will just taka a quick shower, okay!, Lyka said smiling at me while I lie in bed and being patted on my head. I really like Lyka and she is a good friend.

Lyka, now, 16 and Selina, 17 turning 18 are girls who have suffered pain and loneliness, so both understood life and each other so much that they're like soul mates.

Lyka was putting soap and spreading the suds all over her body, arms, neck, body and legs, when she heard the bathroom door open. Selina!, is that you?

She felt someone grab her from the back and.....

Selina, what, what are you doing? Lyka shocked to find Selina wrapping her arms around me now soaking wet. She didn't speak, we stayed like that together for about half an hour and not I feel that she is dead serious when she told me she's worried about me and my safety. I felt Selina is afraid to lose me or anyone that has helped and loved her. Poor Selina!, I now understand why she gets agitated and worried, Lyka thought still hugging her friend though she's naked and Selina has her uniform on, now soaking wet and heavy to touch.
