The Strings Between Us

18th-"It's not very polite"

'Hey' Neil greets from behind me and the man looks at him.

'The name's Vicky' He says, picking up a bottle of water from the refrigerator.

'I am sorry for what happened earlier.' I apologized,fidgeting.

'It's alright this time but don't go on screaming at people- he was staring straight at me, 'it's not very polite.' he suggested.

'Now what are your names ?'

'Platina Jackson and Ben Winters' Neil answered immediately.

They still don't come to me naturally.

He nodded and threw the keys on the counter at Neil.

'Now, let's start training.'

-x-

We'd been on it for 4 hours, without a break.

My body was sore from all the defense training.

'Jackson and Winters in the pit.'

The two of us stared at him incredulously.

Was he seriously gonna pit us against each other?

'Today agents' Vicky stated.

I hear Neil sigh and get into the pit and I follow suit.

We take opposite ends of the field and keep our distance as we slowly shift in the pit.

'Don't fool around, I don't want broken bones, just get some bruises on eachother.'

I watch Neil's jaw twitch and then he throws a punch my way that I barely dodge.

Alright, if this is how it is going to be , I punched him in the stomach in what used to be his sensitive spot and saw him double in pain.

Haha still works.

He looked pissed though 'I was going easy on you' he hissed and then hit me so suddenly that he caught me off guard.

I fell so hard that my head hit the floor with a thump and my surroundings began to blur.

I saw my sister holding onto me and crying as we stared at our mom's corpse.

Before it all went black.
