Breeding in the Academy: Searching for Freedom (All 14)

Chapter 14

Half an hour passed, and I smiled. They all were able to get accustomed to using a gun, and they were good. All of them were able to hit the yellow portion of the target. The Toma team had remained in the area without searching for Kayli. Raven laughed in excitement as he saw the results and started to stretch.

I rolled my eyes at Raven's antics and faced the ten men. "Good job. I'm glad that you guys are able to shoot with precision." My smile disappeared and I felt concern for these men that I barely know wash over me. "I hope that none of you have to use a gun."

Sean gave me a small smile. "We know the dangers we are in. I hope that none of us have to use a gun, and I know that all of us hope that you don't have to use it either. But if one of us or you are in danger, we won't hesitate to use it."

I smiled at them before looking away. I know that they say that but actually pointing a gun at a person and pulling the trigger is another thing and a harder decision. Winking at them, I turned towards Raven. "Ready, noch' (Night)?"

He gave me a smile before facing me. "Ready, luna."

Without another word, he swung his arm through the air a lot slower than I am used to, trying to connect with my face, but I moved back, evading. When he steps toward me, his right hand moves forward in a weak punch. I chuckle, bringing my hand up to block it, swinging around, kicking him in the side much gentler than I do, not wanting to seriously injure him

He followed it with a quicker, stronger punch to my stomach. I bend over as if in pain, moaning, causing Raven to stop his assault and move toward me in concern, asking if I am alright in a worried tone.

I watch his feet, and when he's close enough, I flash him a victorious smile, hooking my leg around his, pulling it, making him fall to the ground. I fall with him, my legs going either side of his body.

His hands rest on my hips, a cheeky grin on his face. "I like this position."

"Hm, do you?" I smirked. Before I can make a move, he's flipped us, my hands now pinned under his, above my head.

I bring my head up quickly, head-butting him. He groans, his hands leaving my hands to go to his face as he falls backward. I slip out from under him, jumping to my feet. With a light kick to his chest, he falls back onto his back. I jumped back as Raven did a kick up. Back on his feet, we faced each other. We punched at each other while blocking each other's hits. As I went to punch his face, his hand met my wrist, squeezing it tightly before bringing my hand around my back and twisting it an angle. His other arm presses against my throat.

"I think I won," Raven said smugly.

I relax, hoping to make him think that I was giving up. When it had the desired effect, getting Raven to loosen my arm and pull his arm from my throat, I didn't hesitate. I lifted my hands and hooked my hands around his ears and pulled, flipping Raven over me. He landed on the ground with a thump, and I pressed my foot down, applying a small amount of pressure to keep him there.

"Give up yet?" I ask.

He struggles for a bit before eventually stopping. "Yeah," he sighs.

Triumphant, I take my foot off his chest, reaching down to help him up. Once we straightened, I turned around to look at the faces of the ten Prime. Their faces were filled with awe, while the Toma team were smiling with a knowing look. They knew that I would win because I always did. A flash of blonde attacked me, wrapping his arms around me.

I smiled as I took in Milo's scent- a cool and fresh scent. He sniffled. I felt my smile wither. He must have noticed that I had to go through a lot of pain to get to this point. I wrapped my arms around him, holding my oldest friend and my twin. "We both had our painful past, Milo."
