Oaths of Grecia

NO. 11

The day went by. Cia obviously got herself into a friendship with that nerd girl she saved before. How annoying. But somehow, she felt warm. She felt like that since her brothers came to the infirmary. Wait! Since when are they brothers to her?! Cia shaked her head. Even that girl, Amy, she can't look at her as a friend. But that weird feeling was already there. And she could not shake it off.

She stood at the bus stop, waiting for the bus to come. "Hey Cia!" She saw Keane on a motorbike waving at her, from the other side of street. She ran towards him. "Sup'?" she asked with smile.
"I'll take you home. Do you want to?"
"Hmm, can I drive?"
"What?! Do you know how?"
"Tsss. Naturally, I'm talent!" She said and both of them laughed.
"OK, kiddo. Here's your helmet." Cia took it and sat in the front. Keane behind her grabbed her waist, he seemed to be scared. Cia smirked, she was a brilliant driver. Not just on bike, but in a car as well. Sight escaped from her lips and she started.

She was twelve. Sitting on a motorbike and in full speed driving between bottlenecks. One mistake and she will be good only for donating organs. That's how fast she was driving. But she loved it. Wind in her face, she felt like flying, she felt free. She was concentrated, but still enjoying it. Adrenalin in her veins, perfect reflexes, joy from driving.

Suddenly one wall moved. OF12 was fast, she pulled to the side, put one leg on ground and turned around it. Then she flew in opposite direction in full speed.
"OF12!" Her trainer called her, so she pulled over next to him. "It is good enough. We will end in a few minutes, so take a break." OF12 wanted to ask, if she could keep driving, even for those few minutes, but she knew the answer already. She nodded and walked away. When trainer said something, it was a law for them. Unfortunately.

The feeling brought back memories. Cia didn't drive since she was sixteen, but that was something, she could never forget. Keane was hugging her waist an she was driving happily. She really missed it.

Cia got home at 5:30 in the morning.  She was completely exhausted, when she sneaked through a window. But there was no time to sleep, she just went to wash herself up and to take care of some injuries.

Eleonor took her for a mission already. Even though El said they won't let just anyone in, they seemed to trust her. Bad decision. They were doing the job, when someone attacked them. She didn't have any drugs in her car, she was just guarding the car with real drugs. Those people were obviously after drugs, but they crushed her, from some reason. So she got into accident.

Cia was sitting in a bathtub in hot water trying to persuade her head to stop spinning. When her car crushed, it spinned a few times and Cia hit her had badly. She also had a few scratches from smashed windows. When she finally got out from bathtub, water was red from blood. God she felt like passing out any minute. Grecia put on some clothes, it was too big for her, but she felt comfortable, and at 7 she went down.

Sitting on one chair she was eating her breakfast slowly, without even knowing what she's actually eating. Boys were comming one after another, Cia just nodded when someone came to the table. Even Mr. Perxon was there. "Kids, I'm leaving for a business trip for a week." He got everyone's attention, even Cia looked up at him. "I will be quite busy, so if possible, try to handle things on your own. Raven, you're in charge," he said and Raven nodded. Cia was feeling awful. She stopped eating and clenched her fists.

"Cia?" Someone was calling her. She looked at Mr. Perxon.
"Sorry? I was absent-minded for a while," she apologised.
"It's OK. I asked how's school going? Is it fine? If you won't be catching with something ask your brothers. Or we can find you a tutor."
"It's fine Mr. Perxon. School is easy for me." Cia noticed sadness in his eyes, when she called him Mr. Perxon. But seriously, she wasn't there for even a week. How could she call them family?

That feeling yesterday, that was just a mistake. It is not happening again, so there is no reason to call Mr. Perxon father and all those hateful idiots brothers. Right?

"Good then, just let me know if there's something. I'll be happy to help."
"Thanks," she smiled slightly. Of course she won't ask. Like what the heck? She is capable to take care of her own problems herself!

Cia got to school by bus. She wasn't feeling any better, so right after she got to school, she headed to the bathroom. Splashing a lot of water on her face didn't make her feel better too. She lacked sleep and the hit to her had didn't help her either.

Niles was going to his class. Cia didn't look good that morning, he couldn't help but worry. When he was going around girls bathroom, someone hitted the ground. It was a girl bathroom, he couldn't just go there. "Excuse me. Is everything alright?" He felt really embarrassed asking that.
"Yes! Perfect!" answered someone. So he kept going.

Cia walked from the bathroom, hoping that there's no one already. Niles turned his head and saw Cia in a horrible state. She was holding the door, looking around her. She couldn't see anything, cause darkness splashed over her eyes. And then everything disappeared.

Niles shouted her name. Hell he was scared at that moment. Without even realising he run towards her. He caught  her before she hit the ground. "Cia? Cia?! Stop fucking scaring me!" he yelled at her. But she didn't respond. He lifted her up and run to infirmary. "Just don't leave us Cia. OK?" he kept whispering.

Cia was lying on her bed. Niles, Keane and Octavius were there. Niles and Keane were obviously worried. Even Octavius was, but he wouldn't admit it. "Why isn't she waking up?" Keane asked the nurse, probably the seventh time.
"I told you, she's exhausted. Plus she hit her head. It's not serious, but she needs to rest. You can leave guys, I'll call you when she's awake." But they didn't move an inch. "OK," the nurse sighted, "one can stay. Others back to class!"
"I'm staying. No debates," said Niles. Keane lookd like he had something to say, but Octavius was faster than him.
"As if we cared!" With that, he pulled his twin from infirmary.

Cia woked up. What the heck was she doing in infirmary? "Cia?" Niles was sitting next to her, watching her. He was worried, she realised.
"I'm fine Niles," she said while sitting.
"What happened to you? Nurse said, you are exhausted. Plus you hit your head. What the hell Cia?" She stared at him with no idea how to get away with that. Thank God for the nurse coming in at that moment.

"Young lady. We have a problem here. You obviously like running, but you can't be that hard on yourself!" she scolded her. "I understand that you want to make progress, but you can't push your limits that much. You should eat before going for a run. And you should stop when you can't keep going anymore!"
"How do you know I'm running?"
"I saw you a few times. Your exhaustion is because of overtraining yourself, am I right?"
"Yes..." Thanks God. That nurse literally saved her. "And my head injury. I felt while running, it's nothing." Cia reassured Niles.
"It is not bad. But still, I think you should go home for today. And rest. And stop overtraining yourself!"
"OK. I'll keep it in mind. Thank you."

Nurse walked away. "I'll take you home," Niles told her.
"OK." Then he turned away and Cia jumped on his back.
"What are you doing?!" Niles shouted and tried to shake her off. But Cia was holding him tightly.
"Didn't you hear her? I'm supposed to rest."
"So? You can walk by yourself!"
"But my legs hurt a lot. Please, Nilie, please." she begged him.
"Nilie?" He chuckled.
"It sounds nice! I'm gonna call you that from now on!" Niles couldn't help but smile. She was cute.
"Agrr. OK. Hold on tight," he said and with that run from infirmary with laughing Cia on his back.
