Chapter 8: Hayeon

"I feel weird" I croaked holding my knees. Revien paced across the room. He paused and stared at me like he was unsure what to do. "That happens. Most people don't wake up until two days later. That means you're doing better than great" he explained.

I nodded looking back at the silk sheets. The room stayed quiet but I could still feel Revin was in the room. He sat on the bed "What did you see"? I bit my lip "I killed my father. Tried to save my mother but I couldn't" I breathed. Revien held my hand and it felt warm. Warm like my mother. My lip quivered and before I knew it. I was crying.

Revien pulled my head into his chest. He patted my hair awkwardly. We stayed like that for I don't know how long. The door opened and I looked up. The man who rode with us on the plane stood in the doorway. He had long hair and buzzed cuts on the sides. He was quite muscular and tall. He had a small scar near his eyebrow. His skin was tan and his eyes were cold.

"Azail" the man called. Revein glared at the man. "Your father would like to see you". He nodded letting my hand go. He caressed my cheek before leaving. The man now known as Shavon stared at me. He didn't give me a perverted vibe but I still didn't like his staring.

"My mother said staring is bad" I frowned. Shavon shook his head as he averted his eyes elsewhere. He stepped in the doorway taking in the room. "Are you feeling okay? Hungry" he questioned. His tone had changed from the way he spoke to Revien and then to me. It wasn't cold but gentle. "No. I'm not hungry" I replied.

Shavon nodded taking his hand from behind his back. "So? Now I am an assassin" I mumbled. "No. Not yet". "Then when"? I blurted out. "Once you've properly trained and can equip yourself like one " he answered. I wiggled my toes out of frustration.

"Who will be training me? That man Mikha'il Ra Gul" I mimicked.

Shavon's head snapped to me like I had just said the wrong thing. I shrank back frowning.

"First you must understand who that man is. He's our leader, the person who has made me and you a new". "Never say that name lightly. You say that name with respect" Shavon demanded.

I gulped nodding my head. Shavon came close standing over me and I peered my head up. "I will be the one to train you. The things you will go through will be tough and might break you. However, you will be stronger. I will always be there to help you when you needed. You are under my care" Shavon voiced.

After his long speech, he patted my head and paused before touching the door. "Training starts in two days". I touched my head smiling. He seems to be a cold-stricken guy though he was nice. I laid back on the bed making a fake snow angel on the sheets.

This place was a blessing maybe from my mother. I had a roof over my head and real food. Revien and Shavon were nice. All I had to do was train and work hard. I had to steal and con people. Find scraps to build me a place to lay my head at night. I had to deal with losing my mother and learning about how

people will treat you in this world. So how hard could training be?

Two Days Later

The maids helped me get dressed. With curious eyes, I followed Shavon. The hallway reminded me of a cement cave only fire holders showing us light. Shavon pushed the thick metal doors showing what he called "the training room". Different weapons, a weird obstacle course, and many other things stood before me.

"You are tiny for your age" Shavon muttered. "No, I'm not" I scowled. "How old are you"?

"10" I huffed. Shavon turned around "It's okay. We're going to fix that" Shavon said tapping his finger on his chin. I frowned folding my arms. "Let's start with endurance". I tilted my head in confusion. "R U N N I N G" Shavon spelled out.

"When on a mission you will need to be able to run long distances without getting tired. So...start running" Shavon ordered. I looked around the big training room. Running was no problem. I had been running for so long pretty quick at it too.

"Ha. Please I need a break" I gasped falling to the ground. An hour of just running and no stops. I lay on the floor and saw Shavon's face appear above me. His expression hadn't changed and I knew there would be no

break.

The training room door opened and I tilted my head. Revien stood with his hands on his hips. "I will be joining the training with Hayeon. You don't mind do you Shavon"?
