James Harvey

Chapter 7

"Time's up", a voice said.

I looked at the door and saw Lucas standing there. He came towards me and said, "Time to wake up my king."

"Why it's just six?", I demanded.

"Probably you should ask Lord Charles about it, wash up and get ready.", he said and then he left.

I got ready and went to the dining table. Ava and Hugo were standing there. Hugo led us to the central lawns where grandpa was standing with Lucas. Grandpa came towards me and said "Good morning James and Ava, you both need to be trained as a mafia. Your training begins today.

I was horrified. Though some part of my brain was expecting this. The rest were not. "Now Ava takes 10 rounds of the field and James you take 30.", Lucas said. Ava started immediately but I, like a fool, questioned, "Why do I get 30, and she gets 10?"

"Because you are the king", Lucas muttered. "Go James start your rounds", Grandpa instructed.

I started running and instantly felt good because of the fresh air. I had just completed three rounds when Ava was done. She ran with such good speed that I forgot that she was also in the training. She came to halt next to grandpa. Lucas brought her water. Then she went inside with grandpa. After I completed my rounds, I was ready to pass away. I had fallen onto the ground if Lucas had not caught me. I drank water and Lucas and I went inside. We boarded the lift and went two floors up. The left opened and we walked to a double-doored room. Lucas opened the door and we found ourselves in a room with a boxing room in the middle. I saw Ava dueling with Hugo. He was teaching her punches and reflexes. Then he saw me and signaled Ava to leave. Ava and grandpa left. "James," Lucas said, "Mr. Jugo would be teaching you modern combat."

Amazing, I thought, another class to watch me get pounded. I joined Hugo in the ring. He smiled and then said, "Okay, now James, take a fighting position ". I thought he would go easy on me, but I was wrong. I took my best defending position as Lucas blew his whistle.

I always thought I was a good fighter but fighting Hugo made me familiar with reality. The fight began and I doubt I even lasted for ten seconds. Hugo kicked me on the chest followed by a punch on my head and then a deadly slam.
