Chapter 29

You wake up to feel the soft sheets on your skin, and an even softer pillow holding your head. You open your eyes to find yourself back at the meat packing plant. You still feel the back of your leg sting, but it's not nearly as much as before. As you get up from the bed, you quickly take a small look at your leg, to see that the wound is almost completely gone. You conclude you haven't been out of the trial for to long, as you begin to look around. You put a little bit of wieght on your leg, and attempt to walk around. A sharp pain shoots up your leg, but you are able to walk. As memories of what you did last trial begin to flood your thoughts, you feel guilt grip your stomach. You look down at you knife. It still feels slightly warm from the action. Beginning to feel slightly nauseous, you put the knife inside your medkit to get it out of sight. You hear a loud snap in the background, followed with what sounds like Amanda gasp for a moment.

"Son of a bitch!" She says startled. You peer into her little tinkering area, to see a triggered trap, and a screwdriver snapped in half. Chuckling slightly, you snarky say

"I think you used the screwdriver wrong."

You can practically feel her eyes roll, as she waves you off.

"Very funny." She responds, you can sense her slight amusement, so you know you didnt hurt her feelings.

You sit down next to her and watch over her shoulder, watching her tinker and tamper with the traps. A comfortable silence fills the room, as Amanda sighs.

"Rin and Kazan are coming over soon. I know what happened, and what you did. You had a good reason, but Rin is kinda upset about it, and Kazan likely wants to rip your arms off. It's likely better for everyone of you fix this, or trials against Kazan especially, are going to be miserable for you." Amanda says.

"Yeah, I understand. But Kazan is just going to kill me." You respond.

"I wont let him. And I doubt Rin will either. Shes a softy." Amanda says. You hear a slight knock, as Amanda puts her hand on your shoulder.

"You will be alright. I promise you." Amanda says, with hints of actual sympathy.

She gets up and walks towards a door, opening it and greeting the guests. You see Rin enter first, looking around the building. Kazan follows, his eyes quickly finding you, his gaze not leaving yours. You feel your spine quiver slightly, as goosebumps begin to scatter all over your arms. You take a deep breath, and walk over to Amanda, standing behind her. Amanda looks over to you, giving you a reassuring look, as you quietly say

"Hello Rin and Kazan."

Rin quickly translates as Kazan speaks.

Rin looks back at Kazan, and gives him a dirty look, as Kazan shrugs. Rin thinks for a moment. Amanda pulls out two more chairs, and moves the traps away from the table. Rin and Kazan move to sit down, as Amanda motions for you to join them. You sit right next to Amanda, just in case, as your eyes dart to the medkit, ironically holding your knife. You mentally kick yourself, slightly repulsed with the idea that weaved itself into your head.

"So, (Y/N). I understand that you had stabbed Kazan multiple times, as a last ditch effort. Mind telling us why?" Rin asks.

"Well, you kinda just did. It was a last ditch effort to survive. I regret it, but at the time, it was just enough to stop him from killing me." You explain. Rin translates for Kazan, as Kazan speaks back.

"He said that he is a killer, and your a survivor. It's his duty to kill you, and you shouldn't have attacked him."

Amanda pipes up. "Yes, your a killer. But he is a survivor. His goal is to survive. And he did what he did to complete his duty."
