Drunken stupor

Her eyes widened behind her goggles, she started to move away but his grip was too firm, his mouth was covering hers perfectly, it was easy to breathe but her heart was beating too fast making her dizzy, she twisted her body to get away but his iron grip prevented her to do so. She was so angry that she even forgot to panic over physical contact.

Finally an eternity for her and mere four minutes for him they surfaced together. Lily slapped him hard as soon as she came to surface. She said in anger " I don't know what you think I am, but let me tell you I already like someone and you are merely a thimble in front of him". With huffing and puffing she moved out of water. But either being in water too long or have not eaten anything for last 16hours dizziness assaulted her and she lost consciousness thinking it will hurt too much when she will wake up.

What she didn't know was a warm body supported her and carried her to safety. When she came back she was in her room covered in blanket. First she thought it was a dream but her pruned body told her what happened was true. She turned to Zen and said " thank you for bringing me back and caring for me". Zen frowned thinking what was she talking about, but before she could ask Lily skipped out of the room.

Lily had a feeling in her heart that Zen didn't help her but she wanted to have a carefree life and had no interest in some weird beard guy. These days Lily was happy, her training was about to be completed, her physical strength increased many folds and her fighting prowess increased too now she could handle guys six times her size with ease. There desert training was about to be complete. So, a party was thrown for trained soldier.

Lily entered their cafeteria, a bottle of whisky was placed in front of each soldier and there last order was to drink the whole bottle and have target practice if they passed they can go if not, they failed there complete training. Asher came and sat next to her. He was like a topper in this class, but he was also the most aloof one. He never talked to anyone and after that swimming incident he didn't talk to her. It was good because she also had no interest to talk with him.

Lily looked at the bottle in front of her, she removed the cap took a whiff, strong odour assaulted her senses. With deep breath she drank the complete bottle, placed it carefully on the table took her pistol and went to the fire range and fired three shot all in between bullseye and number 9. With a hiccup she moved out. Shots rang behind her but she was in too much daze to care about that. As soon as she came out wave of dizziness assaulted her and she succumbed to darkness.
