Skills

Alexa

I stopped feeling upset and my body responded much more easily to daily tasks. Things with Lee were a bit stormy, but after the first month, I stopped torturing myself and accepted that it was just my obsession. As for the training as a team, we improved a lot, we had a better match.

Lee was finally our instructor and to top it off we had to take a test that day, which he divided into three drills, climbing, swimming, and jumping. Each team was to split the test, of course, Anjil would go in the water, I said she was like a dolphin, she must have been born in the water. Dael was an expert in jumping and of course, I had no choice but to go climbing. I was still not the best, but I could do it, and Anjil would give me an advantage.

For some reason Lee seemed a bit annoyed, however, as usual, I didn't look at him this was a trigger. He approached our team without pausing.

— I hope you show an acceptable improvement today, in your climbing, Alexa. It's a shame that having such a good team, they are behind because of you.

— Sorry instructor, but I think I've improved quite a bit in the last few months.

— Not enough to be good support for your team, don't take this the wrong way, it's just the truth I'm telling you.

— I think you are overstepping your bounds, don't you? Maybe you are being more of a jerk than a teacher.

— Alexa!

— Excuse me for voicing my opinion, but I think you both need to relax. I don't know if you realize it, but you're practically growling like wolves.

We both looked at Dael with confusion and after looking at each other for the last time without saying anything, we walked away. He commanded to start the test by supervising each team, ours was the last one. As expected, Anjil made a record swimming, I was still super annoyed with the idiot, but I tried to concentrate on the test.

However, all it took was for Lee to look at me for the pain to come over my chest, and the rage of him looking at me as inferior went to my head. When Anjil ran to hand me the badge to start my shift, I didn't even listen to what he was saying.

I ran to the place to climb, and it was as if my body knew what to do, jumping from rock to rock with accuracy. It was astonishing the adrenaline, it felt so easy because back then it was so hard for me at other times. When I reached the top, I quickly passed the badge to Dael who was looking at me strangely, I just said go.

— Ale, are you okay?

— Yes, I'm fine, go.

He nodded his head and immediately launched off at high speed, and I started to descend.

— Alexa, that was spectacular!

— What? — I could see that everyone was looking at me in amazement—. What's the problem?

— You made a record in climbing!

— Really?! Wow!

I still couldn't believe my result. While we were waiting for Dael, the scores were announced, and our team came in first. We were super happy, so we decided to go to the cafeteria to celebrate. There they showed me the video of how I climbed, it was wonderful. After a while of laughing and making jokes, I decided to go back to my room.

Suddenly, I remembered that I left my tracker in the training area as usual, so I went to pick it up. I found it right away, but I felt noises and my curiosity got the better of me, so I went to check it out. When I found the source I froze, there in the middle of the open sky, Lee was having sex with a girl.

I was paralyzed, a pain so intense invaded my body that I felt my breathing stop. Tears ran down my face without being able to avoid it and as much as I wanted to look away from something so shocking, it was impossible. I tried to move, I started to back away and accidentally made a noise, when our eyes met it was enough.

Such a great emptiness invaded me, and everything ceased to exist, without further delay I ordered my feet to run. Luckily, they obeyed, and I ran at an impressive speed, without minding, I left the school. I did not know which direction to go, only that I should not stop, I entered the woods and dodged as much as I could the obstacles. But the speed I was going and my eyes full of tears made me stumble, fall, and spin around until I stopped, hitting my head.

— Alexia, Lexi!!!!

I opened my eyes and saw her face.

— Mom?!

— Daughter, listen to me well, never lose your teddy bear, he has the truth. Remember mommy loves you and forgive me if you can someday, I committed too many sins, I'm sorry, daughter. Now run, go to daddy and always be a good girl, you are special, please remember that. I love you.

Those were his last words as he kissed me on my forehead.

— Mom! Mom!

At that moment, I woke up touching my forehead and there was blood on it, to which I moaned. I looked around; it was hard to understand that I was still in the forest. Suddenly in the distance, I found huge eyes, I smiled, my wolf friend is near.

I approached the edge of the barrier, I wanted to pet him, but the dome prevented it, I could read that he felt the same. Howled at me several times and then retreated, it was starting to get dark, so I decided to continue my way home. When my father saw me, he was terrified.

— Daughter, what happened?

— I'm fine, Dad, it was just a fall.

— Come, sit down, Mrs. Gil, please bring me the first aid kit. — My grandmother ran to bring it, while my grandfather came to check on me. When my father started to heal me, I felt the pain, and I complained—. You're lucky you don't need stitches in the wound. Where the hell were you? Lee has called countless times asking if you were okay, and everyone saw that you left the school.

— Pa, can we talk tomorrow, please? I'm so tired.

— Sure. — He kissed me on my forehead and carried me to my room like a little girl—. Have a good rest.

After taking a bath, I went straight to bed and immediately fell asleep.
