Chapter 0206


    “Hey Midge, you alright? You look a little pale.” Wyatt asks, getting Lillian and Nathaniel’s attention


    too.


    “No. I mean yeah, I’m good.” I can’t look him in the eye though.


    “You can shift, right? I mean, I guess you wouldn’t be here if you couldn’t yet.” Nathaniel says to


    himself more than to me.


    “Yeah, no, I’m okay, I can shift. I just don’t really like changing in front of people. I’ll be fine, I just


    wasn’t expecting it, that’s all.” I take a deep breath trying to control my breathing. I can get through


    this, I have to get through this. I chose to keep the scars when I was given the chance to get rid of


    them, now I have to live with my decision. One more big deep breath as we all set our bags down


    and turn to get instructions.


    “Alright, those of you that were at trials got a glimpse of this technique. Those of you who were


    unable to go this is what we are trying to aplish, Skr, step up.” Nathaniel calls out and looks


    directly at me. I stop breathing and freeze. “I did not stutter, move!” I jump like my ass was bit and


    move forward. “Lose the shirt, you’re going to shift mid fight. THe less clothes we have to rece


    the better.”


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    I turn and slowly take my shirt off with shaky hands. I keep my eyes closed as I turn back towards


    him , take another deep breath, open my eyes and move to the center of the circle towards Warrior


    Nicks.


    I can hear murmurs, but nothing any of them are saying. I keep my focus on Nicks in case he


    ns on throwing some kind of surprise attack after obviously getting me emotionally disoriented.


    “We are going to spar for 5 minutes, you must stay in the circle the entire time. When I shift you do.


    Your one goal is to evade capture. Do you understand your assignment?” I nod, it’s all I’ve got to


    give at this moment.


    He doesn’t spare me much more than that moment before he starts to circle me like a predator


    does his prey. His eyes are calcting, he’s sizing me up even though we have fought a few times


    now. I have changed a bit since the locker room and haven’t actually done any kind of sparring for


    over a month now. As the thought hits me, I realize I am nervous for the first time in a very long


    time. But I can''t decide if it is a good thing or a bad thing. I’m weak and out of shape, but I have


    enough training that muscle memory should kick in and help me out.


    Don’t worry sweet girl, we will do this together. My wolf reminds me she’s here with me. I’m not


    alone.


    Save your energy as much as possible. We have no idea when he’s going to shift and that is the


    one thing we arecking experience in, shifting and fighting immediately following.


    No sooner did I say that than Warrior Nickloas charged at me. I blocked his arms but wasn’t quick


    enough to stop the leg sweep that followed and I started to fall towards my back. I used the


    momentum to grab at his arm and pull him back with me throwing him back over my shoulder as I


    rolled backwards, he was forced to release his grip and tuck and roll forward. I was quicker to my


    feet and stepped back. I wasn’t going to charge at him yet. I need to get him to use up some of his


    energy first, especially before he forces us to shift.
