Chapter 12 : Training

*Amaya*

I awoke to a loud pounding on my door. Disoriented, I tried to rub the sleep from my eyes with shaky hands but it didn’t help.

The pounding continued.

It’d been a week since my leg had healed. Two weeks of being a guest here. Maybe my time was up, maybe I overstayed my welcome and I was finally being kicked to the street.

I frantically untangled myself from my bedding and crawled out of bed. The sun hadn’t even risen yet. I groaned as I threw on a robe and hastily tied it around my waist.

The pounding stopped and then I heard a loud sigh behind the door. As I reached for the doorknob, the pounding started again. I jumped back at the sound before I jerked the door open. The light from the hallway stung my eyes and I reflexively squinted as I covered my brow with my hand.
