Guards?

Guards?

Why are there guards outside of my door.

And why are they surprised that I walked out?

"Why are you guys here? "

"W- we are here to guard your door from any possible assasins sir. Please get back into your room."

My stomach sinks. This feels like a very bad thing. Not because of the 'possible assasins'.

Because I am the only one being guarded.

"Why is the door from their room not being guarded then?"

"Because... because they are not in their room sir. They are elsewhere so their guards are with them."

Why would they not have said anything about guards being around them to me at all all day?

This does not make sense at all!

And if I ignore the fact that there are guards at my door, why is everyone but me away?

This sinking feeling in my stomach, it keeps growing stronger the more I think about this.

Like I am at the verge of some painfull secret.

I am very sure that this is the intuition that I was supposed to have.

But I am not happy at figuring out that it actually works.

Not at all.

What could everyone be doing?

"Alright I understand. Can I walk around for a bit as well?"

"It's better if you stay in the room sir. That way we can keep you safe more easily."

"But what about Kent and Lisa then. If you guys are here who is with them."

They looked at each other for a moment.

"Other colleagues of us are with them. Now please get back in your room sir."

"... sure, keep doing your hard work."

Those fucking bastards!

Do they think I am some fucking idiot?

It was so clear that they where lying, a child could see trough it!

I have keep my calm.

I need to figure out if they are all doing

something behind my back.

And I need to figure out why I would not be included and most of all what it is if they are.

But I know one thing for sure now.

I should not trust them.

...

Kent and Lisa eventually came back, but they said they where tired and wanted to sleep when I asked what they where doing.

They are defenitely hiding something from me.

And that hurts.

It feels almost like ik being betrayed.

These people that came from the same world as me, that I have been nothing but nice to, are already keeping secrets from me.

But I know one thing for sure.

I need to find out what secret it is that they are keeping.

Maybe it isn't that bad, maybe they are just planning some way to tell me that I won't be the leading hero.

Hopefully it's that.

But my intuition tells me that this is not the case.

I will ask the rest about this too, and maybe I will do some simple little investigation or something.

*The next morning, after physical training*

We are sitting in the cafeteria having breakfast before our first training session and Fred is the only one that has no change in the way he treats me.

The rest are flinching harder then before at my words, almost like they are doing it on purpose.

To make me feel bad for talking or something maybe.

Even Kent is not as inclusive of me.

And Lisa seems very uncomfortable in talking to me.

And for some reason, that hurts me the most.

But anyway, even Fred does not answer any of my indirect questions about what they where doing. This means that I can't trust any of them.

I need to find out what they are doing somehow.

But I should have enough time. At least, that is what I hope.

And so my first training begins.
