/> ‘I work out three hours a day and I dance what do you expect.’
‘Not this.’
I felt claustrophobic just then. I went out to the back yard and sat down on the ground. I took deep breaths and calmed myself down. I didn’t know what to do. I don’t know why but I feel like a big weight is on my shoulders.
‘Sage?’ Gabriel said behind me then sat down next to me. ‘How you feeling?’
‘I don’t know anymore.’ I said and realized it was true. I had so much emotions going on that I couldn’t focus on one.
‘Who was that guy?’
‘Ricky. He’s from my school and has this huge creepy crush on me. This isn’t the first time he’s snuck into my room. But it’s the first time with Damon here. Usually no one is in the house.’
‘How do you know how to punch like that? I’ve only seen professionals punch like that, with so much rage and strength.’
‘I let my emotions overwhelm me and that made me vulnerable. I only punch like that when I get mad. I get mad a lot. I’m surprised my room is still up.’
‘What’s so wrong with being vulnerable?’
‘For some people it’s a good thing, for me it’s complicated.’
‘So what are you gonna do about that creep?’
I stayed silent and looked at the sky.
‘I don’t know. He learned some stuff about me while he was in my room and I don’t know what I’ll do when people find out.’
‘If people are gonna find out sooner or later can you tell me what he learned.’
‘That I can draw.’ I said.
‘That’s it. You can draw.’
‘It’s what I draw that……’ I broke off as soon as I realized what I was about to say. Gabriel noticed. He looked at the ground.
‘I like you a lot you know. I don’t know why but you seem to catch my attention.’
‘I know. I feel the same way.’
We looked at each other and looked into each others eyes. We leaned into each other until we were only centimeters apart. Then Gabriel made the move and we were both kissing. We were kissing softly and soon broke off as we realized what we were doing. I smiled and looked at the sky. Gabriel got up and went back into the house. My smile disappeared as I thought about what this makes us. Are we together or was it just because we were both in the moment and was only a one time thing.
I got up and went back into the house. I went to my room. I saw the holes in the wall and started patching them up. I got the dry wall and spackle and started patching up the wall. When I got done I hid the dry wall and spackle in it’s hiding place.
I looked outside and saw that it was getting dark so I ran downstairs and got my pocketknife and bracelet. Damon and Gabriel were in the kitchen and saw that I was going out.
‘Where are you going?’
‘Out back’
‘Why do you have your pocketknife?’
‘I’m gonna go to the building that was never completed. I need the pocketknife to cut my way through.’ and with that I went outside and made my way to the building out back. The building I ‘m going to was never completed because the workers disappeared. We don’t know how bu tone minute they were here the next they were gone. My parents said this place is haunted cause they think they all died but we never found their bodies so I still come here. The reason I need the pocketknife is because I have to cut through all the plants that have grown to get to the very top. I started to make my way but I soon got lost. I always got lost but this time I didn’t now where I was. I started to make my way back. As soon as I came out I saw Damon and Gabriel there. They came over to me.
‘Hey are you okay I thought I heard a wolf barking.’
‘I’m fine. It was probably just some wolf in the woods.’
‘Hey we’re not allowed in that building remember.’
‘Oh shut up. I go in there almost every night and nothing bad has ever happened.’
‘I’m a tell mom and dad.’
‘They’re never here so why would you tell them if they can’t stop me when they’re not here.’
With that I left and went back into the house. I noticed that it was ten after. It didn’t seem that I was gone for that long.
Damon and Gabriel came into the house and hung out in the kitchen with me.
‘So Gabriel how good are you at fighting?’ I asked.
‘I’m a black belt in all fighting styles.’
‘Think you can take me on.’
‘Come on you don’t know how to fight.’
‘I’m a fast learner and anyways I make up stuff in the gym when I’m using the fighting equipment so I know a thing or two.’
‘Well let’s see how good you are.’
Gabriel didn’t want to wait he automatically started. He tried to punch me but I defended myself. I punched him a couple times till I got tired and decided to end it. We’ve been doing it for an hour an I was starting to lose patience. I let Gabriel kick me in the chest and I fell onto the kitchen floor. He smiled as I laid there. Then I made my move. I spun on the ground with my leg sticking out and tripped Gabriel. Then I got up and dusted myself off. Gabriel laid on the floor stunned.
‘Now who said that I couldn’t fight.’
I went up to my room and changed into my pajamas. I went to sleep.
I woke up to a noise downstairs. I got out of bed and went downstairs to check it out.
I heard footsteps in the kitchen. I went to find Damon, Gabriel, and another guy in the kitchen waiting. I went in cautiously.
‘Finally you’re awake. Can you cook some breakfast?’ Damon asked.
‘Yea sure.’
I cooked eggs, sausages, french toast, omelets, bacon, and I made some pancakes.
All three guys didn’t wait to get they’re food. They got their plates and served themselves food. I grabbed an apple and started eating it.
‘Who the hell are you?’ I asked the one guy.
‘Simon, Damon’s friend, new kid at his training area.’
‘You train at Sinister?’
‘Yep.’
‘Nice.’
‘Sage here knows a thing or two.’ Gabriel said.
I glared at him.
‘Is that so?’
‘I don’t know how to fight I just make up some moves that I taught myself using some of the fighting equipment we have in the backyard and now if you excuse me I’m gonna go beat Gabriel till he’s senseless. I got up grabbed Gabriel by the shirt and dragged out to the backyard slamming the back door shut angrily.
‘Why the hell did you tell him?’ I yelled at him.
‘What come on. It’s clear you know how to fight.’
‘I don’t know how to fight. I have never fought in my life.’ I lied. I did know how to fight.
‘Then what was all that about.’
I let out a stressed out growl then I went back into the kitchen. Gabriel followed not letting the subject go.
‘Tell me how did you know how to do those moves and how to punch like a professional?’ he started yelling.
‘I can only punch like that when I get angry. I get strength when I get angry. And yesterday I got angry at Ricky cause he was in my room and discovered that I can draw and worst of all he knows what I draw about.’
‘It takes years to be able to make a punch like that. I would know cause my bro is a professional.’
I was furious at Gabriel. Even though everyone was watching I turned around and punched the closest thing behind me, which was the wall. I took my hand out of the wall and turned back to Gabriel.
‘Make me angry again and I swear I will punch you like I just did and maybe even harder. Don’t mess with me cause I turn into a demon. Just ask what happened when Damon decided to push me out of a tree.’ I said angrily then I went up to my room. I climbed into bed and went to sleep in an angry mood.
I woke up at noon. I got out of bed and went downstairs. I remembered everything from that morning. I went down to the kitchen to see the hole patched up poorly. I went back upstairs to my room and got the dry wall and spackle. I went back downstairs and redid the hole this time you could barely notice that I punched a hole in the wall.
When I got done I put the dry wall and spackle back up in my room and went back downstairs to eat some left over breakfast. Good thing there was a lot left cause I was really hungry. I served myself a big plate full and heated it up. I ate in peace. Well up until Damon, Gabriel, and that one guy came into the kitchen and saw me eating.
I finished got up and put my dish in the sink. I got my pocketknife from the top of the kitchen cabinet, bracelet that can shoot up to 1000 ft, and my paintball gun. It was one that required you having to blow into it to shoot the paintball out.
‘Where are you going?’
‘I’m a go train in the black building.’ I said.
‘But only I can go in there. It’s a fighting place. Only fighters are allowed in there.’
‘Stupid I’m not going into the main building I’m going into the basement. Dad had some people build me a training course.’
‘Train what?’
‘Why don’t you follow me and find out?’
I led them over to a hidden door to the basement. It was a brick door on the side of the building and you can only find it by running your hand across the brick until you find really soft brick. Then you find a soft gray brick and push and a door opens. When you go in at first it’s dark but with the lights on it’s a hardcore obstacle course with dangerous obstacles like having to walk across the ceiling beam and try not to fall into the tank of water down below. Actually all the whole floor is a huge tank of water. There are only islands of floor that are dry that you go on. Other than that the rest of the floor is water. The guys stood stunned.
‘How come nobody ever told me about this?’ Damon asked.
‘You’re too weak to do this. I work out here once a week cause I usually have to recover from my injuries that I usually get. And plus you can sometimes get across to the other side of the room’
‘Oh yea lets have a race the first one across wins.’ Damon said.
‘All right but I’m warning you it’s tough and only the strong minded can do it’
‘Doesn’t this have to do with muscles?’
‘Wait until you get to the top then tell me if it take muscle.’
‘Can I at least take my clothes off so I don’t get wet.’
‘yea sure. Oh yea it’ll be a good idea to wear a bathing suit cause I have a feeling you’re gonna be in the water most of the time.’
I started to take off my clothes so I was only in my bikini. That was the first time Damon saw my eight pack.
‘Now who’s weak?’ I
