Fighting

"Aanndd hutt ! 1,2,3 Anndd hut !.."

Amory marched in the back and forth swiftly . It was a beautiful spring morning. The clouds spattered across the darken sky . Little rays of light washed away the inky black of the night , with spits of star's swirled in the sky . " Drop to your knees and give me fifty !" "Yes commander !" Amory shouted along with her group . It was shorten over the first week. She barley meet them before they decided to quite. The ground was now hard and dry , the grass scrapped there skin. The rocks stabbed there knees and hands until they where red or bleeding. She got to learn more about her group . Greta was a slight friend . They liked each other and talked sometimes at night . Greta said she always wanted to join army . Her great grandfather was a war hero. She was very inspired by his move. He left his home in order to fight in the stand of his dead brother . But she told amory how he rescued him , when everyone thought his brother was dead.

"Okay you puss's this is Bob wire ! It's sharp isn't it . " Commander John seemed to scream at the top off his lungs even when he didn't have to . Amory wondered to herself how it could get any louder. She missed the old man who showed them around the first night . "We don't need a lecture on bob wire !"

Someone shouted from crowed . It was Steve, he had a big mouth from the beging .

Steve was tall and wide . Amory figured he get in with no problem . He was bald and had a long red mustchace . He was goofy looking . But buffed , his muscles looked bigger than him . "Really sweet mouth . Well you can go first. In this obstacle , you will crawl under this line of sharpen bob wire . You must climb that wooded wall and grave your bag of feed and run back ! That bag if horse feed represents a man . Loose your man ans you loose respect . " Commander went on , Amory glanced up and down the obstacle . The wooden wall was gigantic . It had no ropes to climb on and the sides where to fare to pull yourself up on. Her empty stomic twist and churned like butter.

She slightly shivered with the chill wind and the wet dew from the grass. Steve went first , they all watched him . It was hard to , he struggled at the bobwire . His back was scratched with long cuts . He struggled worse at the wall. He climb up using the corner , when he got his feed bag he spent nearly and hour to lift it over the wall.

"Okay dreamer it's your teams on! You s**t heads better do better than sweet mouth ! Commander John had made nicknames for them all . Luckily he didn't hear her's . Amory didn't like beging called Hollywood . It wasn't her . It was the complete obbisite off her .

"Now go! Go!" His wisle rang in her ears. She hit the ground and crawled . Amory dug her nails into the cold mud and pulled herself forward. The bobwire graved her hair until she pulled it out. Her mouth was nearly covered mud as she made her face side ways down. So she could the distance ahead and how close the bobwire was to her .

Mud spattered on her face ad in her eyes . She couldn't open them , now she couldn't see the bobwire nor the distance .

She hesitantly lifted her head up and felt the sharp needle . She continued to pull herself up . She lifted her again and didn't feel the bobwire. She pulled self up to wipe her eyes ,but she had been in a dip .

The sharp needle stabbed her neck and arm. Blood dripped down her face from a cut above her eye borrow . She kicked with her feet and pulled . She finally made it out . But she was behind. Amory was 4th to make it out . The rest where on the wall. Greta was nearly at the top. But how ? She ran up the the boards . There where tiny cracks between each bord . Enough for someone to stick there fingers in . Her fingers stretched and popped . She could only pull her self up by her finger tips . Her boots where to big to fit. Slush! Amory looked down to she benny on the ground over Greta . He had falled on top of her. Amory looked at the top of the wall. She was so close ! And someone was already jumping over the edge . She let herself go. Falling like she did before . When she fell from the sky . When fell to earth . Just like when she fell from that building.

It scared her in a way . She helped benny up and lifted greta to feet . Together they helped each other climb to the top. Benny was the first , his fingers where slim and long so it helped him climb . He lifted Greta then Amory . Amory felt a connection with them . Even though she wasn't a Cupid anymore she could still feel love . And create it or fix it . Amory also possessed the power to break love but it was against the rules. But you can never break. true love . It was impossible.

They all graved there feed bags and raced back to the wall . Amory was good at throwing the bags over . She helped benny and Greta throw them over. Together they skipped across the flied . They made it together but lost . Brady the guy she saw before leaping over the edge of the wall beat them . But commander John didn't congratulate them. He completed Amory and her team. The next week went on , they where learning how to fight properly.

There teams stayed the same . Greta and benny's relationship grew and pushed Amory out. Greta was to busy with benny to talk with Amory anymore . Brady suprisenly tapped out and left. "Okay my name is Jack I'll help you learn your fighting skills and combat moves . Any qustions ? "

No one moved "Okay ladies first. Hey you,in the black curles . He pointed to her , Amory stood up. He graved her hand and handed her a staff . Okay you see an enemy hold your pole like infornt of your shoulder and cross your hips like this. Amory did what he said. "Here place your figures apart , keeping them to close can make you loose your grip. He came around Amory and touch her figure tips . Her heart jumped . His breath flowed down her neck . She lend in closer , something about it felt right . Now if I lower my staff down like this , it's a slow move . You can take your staff and hit mine out of my hands. They went over a few moves. Amory liked the way he teaches , he waa kind about mistakes and spoke in a low soft voice. He didn't scream like John .

"Okay ready .1,2,3 Go!" He struck his staff forward and ducked and hits her up . He waved his left and back at her. Swiftly she batted her's forward . It blocked him but it wasn't good enough . She needed him to loose the staff. She raised his up , she wincesd her eyes , with put a word. she sprang to the side. The mud stung there legs. The wind blew her hair to the side letting her see him clearly. His pole cracked the board . He waved his to the right but Amory smacked it down he nearly let it fall out of his grip. Amory slipped and fell but got up fastly . Bam! A sharp pulsing pain spread across her cheek. She left him stand still behind her. Amory took the chance . She jumped to feet and sprang in the air. The ground disappearing from her feet. She bent her back and shot her legs back. She back flipped over his strike . Amory struck down in his pole snapping it in half. She stood there facing the crowds white faces.

Amory still felt weightless and she hated it .

Thud! Thud! Thud! Her heart throbed in her body . It shook her , Amory felt dizzy and hot again . She turned around to face Jack. He smiled in shock . "Damn girl , you got some moves! " He slightly chuckled. Amory smiled back , happy to hear his laughter .

"Thanks , jack." She walked off the stage a new feeling washed over her . The day seemed bright as ever. She felt exsighted to learn more about fighting .

Amory couldn't shake the feeling. She was proud. I'm proud ! She whispered to her self . As the words left her mouth Amory knew she finally fitted in .
