Morning Training

Really, really, early in the moning, around five o'clock when not even the birds woke up, Emilié was violently ripped off from her sleep, a cold air brushing her warm skin.

"Wake up! Today is running in programm, wear your clothes and come down!" Emil hollered at her in her sleepy state.

He told her that his training would be hard on her, she didn't listen so she had to feel it at first hand.

Emilié pushed herself up watching dazedly at Emil with her bed cover in his hand.

How cruel it is to wake somebody this way up and seeing this smug smile creep in his face made her want to polish it off, but this is what she signed up for, no take backs now.

Emil let the bed cover fall on the floor turning around and exiting the room, his job of waking her up in a screwly manner was checked up on his list, next was bullying until she quit.

But right now he needed to let her change and come down before they could really start the running.

After having changed, Emilié went down the stairs.

Downstairs was the dining room, Emil was already seated on the table with two servings of porridge set.

"Sit down, we will eat first. You haven't eaten anything since that night, hence I let the cook prapare something light and easy to digest yesterday. It had to simmer throughout the night though, so it's still warm and not fully cooled down, so take care."

Now that Emil reminded having not eaten, Emilié's stomach growled like a cat's purr.

She sat down next to Emil and started to eat. And before she could comprehend, she gulped down the whole bowl of porridge like water.

She was so hungry, she could eat an entire pot of this delicious porridge, it was light and full of flavour.

"Slow down, the food is not gonna walk away. Don't collapse down from a stomach ache now, that is already booked for later." Emil chuckled, watching the little girl flush with redness from embarrassment.

"What.. gonna.. do?" Emilié asked brokenly, giving him a bit more attention then the food in front of her.

Stopping from eating his own serving, Emil answered truthfully, having nothing to hide from her.

He was mean waking her up like that, but he was no devil, merely a rogue, so he could tell her what is planned on her training menu, afterall it was the training that will bully her and not he.

'cough' excuse 'cough'

"We will build your endurance before all. There should be no big strains, since you are still injured, but after two weeks we can begin with the actual thing. Hence it's easy mode today."

Emilié nodded, she didn't mind a slow start.

She wants revenge, but she is young she has time, afterall serving the revenge cold is the tastiest!

Just think about it, when a big boulder over rolls them exactly then, when they never expect it to.

That twisted and crushed look in their face, the hatred overflowing their eyes, squirming under her foot and being played with, and the only thing they can do was to look and curse out.

And Emilié was this big boulder ready to roll over Bethea ruthlessly when she is high up her horse.

Furthermore, don't they say a good foundation holds a house for centuries and don't shake down by earthquakes.

She already ensured that Emil will train her, there was nothing to worry anymore.

...

Outside Emil let Emilié run laps in moderate speed with occasional power breaks.

The humid air made the morning feel biting cold, slapping off the sleepiness that came from the full stomach that had to digest now.

"huff huff"

Emilié wheezed for air, her posture unbearable to look at. Crooked back, flaring arm, tongue out, almost toppling over. Yet she continued with no complain.

Emil shook his head distressed and a bit baffled, and this was only the third laps she was doing.

As he thought, this will go to nowhere just wasted time and crushed hopes, but the girl was just to stubborn to listen.

What is there to bully. He lost the interest to torture her and after some more laps she could return for a quick nap to replenish her energy.

'sigh' who told him to be too soft, and there he stood and thought about many ways to bully her on her first day.

In the end he could not bare to and let her off the hook.
