A CURE THAT KILLS

THE TEST 2

Kyrah wiped her mouth and looked at the person in front of her with disdain. ' So this is why Elena had been following me. ' She thought to herself as she stared at the man in front of her.

Standing before her is one of martins most elite shadow guard. He held a thick rope in his hand and the towel from earlier in his other hand. Kyrah had tricked him into believing that she had indeed passed out and he had pulled her into an even more secluded part of the manor.

He laid her close to the wall and moved toward the chair to pick up the rope when he felt someone pat his shoulder, he turned in surprise and received a punch that sent two of his teeth flying out.

Kyrah stretched and flexed her knuckle as she stared at the man with a maniac like smile on her face. “ Tell my father that if he really wants to test me, then he should do better. Oh I forgot, you wouldn't be able to. Without hesitation kyrah held the already terrified man and snapped his neck with both hand before dumping his lifeless body.

“ Show is over, you can come out. “She said dabbing her bloody hands with a towel when the shadow leaning beside the pillar came out.

Elena walked towards kyrah whistling in excitement. She knelt and felt the man's pulse in anticipation before giving kyrah a thumbs up. She kept holding and dropping the man hands like a kid who had found a new toy and she chuckles anytime the lifeless hand come in contact with the ground.

" Nice one sis. You took him out in one strike, I really have a lot to learn from you. " Elena said with a smile whilst trying to mimic Kyrah posture when she snapped his neck.

Kyrah threw the now bloody towel on the dead man's face and proceeded to walk away deciding not to concern herself with Elena who seemed thrilled with her new toy.

" Wait up. " Elena called as she ran to catch up with kyrah who was hell bent on ignoring her

" When did you figure he was following me? " Just when Elena thought that kyrah wasn't going to respond, she got that question and smiled “ He has been lurking around the training room the entire time whilst you were busy making a hole out of every punching bag. At first I thought he had a message to deliver from uncle but when I saw him follow you discreetly, I knew it must be another test from him so, I thought why not join the fun? And I wasn't disappointed.

Kyrah shook her head at Elena's explanation and decided not to say a word. If things go the way she planned then she would be out of the manor in a month. Seeing as kyrah refused to say anything more, Elena decided to ask the question that had been bugging her.

“ Aren't you ever curious? " Elena asked and kyrah stopped in her track turning to face her.

" Curious about what?

" About everything. Who we really are? Why we have part of our memories chopped off and why we are being trained in all aspects. Doesn't it bug you? " Elena questioned kyrah wanting to believe that she wasn't the only one gradually going insane by such thoughts but the reply she got from kyrah made her sigh in disappointment.

“ No, I'm not curious and it's not your place to be either. The don is my father and your uncle and we owe our life to him, what more could you possibly want to know? " Kyrah questioned whilst rubbing her now sweaty palm on her black shots.

Elena decided not to push it and asked about the dead shadow guard instead. " won't uncle get mad that you keep killing his men like this or am I missing something?

" We don't have the same class why are you following me? " Kyrah asked instead of replying to Elena's questions. She had business class while Elena had to take piano class so she used that as an excuse to shoo the latter off.

Elena sighed in defeat. How could she have expected to get anything out of kyrah? She shrugged her shoulder and sprinted away, within seconds she was nowhere in sight.

Kyrah watched her disappearing figure and gave a toothy grin. Of course she used to be curious as well but after spending that night at martins office two years ago, her view of life had changed, she now understood martins better, she had set a new goal for herself and it's safe to say she's making steady progress.

She stared at the tiny dried blood left in her hands from killing the guard earlier and smirked. Soon enough her hand will be soaked with more blood, once martins finally opens the manor gate, she'd go on a killing spree and no one would be able to stop her then.

She remembered how her father had opened up to her that night and she had sworn to him that she would take the life of every last Scott she lays her eyes on and then she had made a deal with him.

Shoving all thoughts away, she proceeded to her business class when she heard someone whistle from the first floor. She looked up and saw bianca,martins right hand. Kyrah watched expressionlessly as she jumped down from the first floor. She wasn't there as martins next in command just for fun. She was even nicknamed ’lightning’as her speed is inhumane and the eye patch covering her injured left eye gave people an uneasy feeling. She swung her whip with style as she walked towards kyrah with a crooked grin showing off her brown and incomplete set of teeth.

“ The don would like to see you. He wants us both in the boxing ring now.

Kyray followed lightning without a word and met with her father in the ring. This is the second time she'd be using the main boxing ring, the first was when she had to duel with the combat master. She nodded as a greeting to her father and waited for him to announce why she's here.

“ Kyrah, you would duel with lightning here and if you manage to defeat her without taking a single blow from her, you would be out of the manor by noon tomorrow.
