Scar: The Bloof Wolf

Training

"Wake up!!! This is no time for sleep!!!" I heard a deep voice yell as I landed on the ground with a thud.

"Ugh!" I groaned as I rolled on my side and stood up.

"What th-" Timber was about to say but was interrupted.

"Brush your teeth and meet me at the back of the house, your training starts in ten minutes, come later and you'll be punished." Ronnie said as he exited our room slamming the door shut.

"What just happened?" I asked sleepily.

"No idea." Timber said and headed for the bathroom, I decided to change out of my PJ while he does his business. Ronnie seemed dead serious, I wonder what the time is, I also wonder what kind of training he'll give us.

I settled on wearing a ash sweat pants and a singlet, Timber came out just then and I went in, I'm not all that muscular, neither do I have abs or whatever, but I'm okay, your average normal guy. I used the bathroom and brushed my teeth.

"Let's go." I said and we both left the room and to the back of the house.

"You two are ten minutes late." Ronnie said giving us a hard stare, I didn't know what to mame from it. The back yard is not that big, but big enough for us to train in it.

"We are sorry." Timber apologized.

"Never do anything that'll make you say sorry, that's your first lesson." He said sternly.

"As promised I'll punish you for your disobedience and not being on time for training." He yelled, his voice loud and clear, I looked up at the sky and saw its almost the break of dawn, isn't it to early to train?

"Isn't it to early to train?" Timber asked voicing my thoughts.

"Run from the beginning of the fence to the other fence," that seems okay "sixty times." He instructed and both our mouth hung open.

"You don't mean that." Timber argued.

"Sixty three times." He increased the number.

"Please sir." I begged.

"Sixty eight times." He increased it again, I think us arguing this is what's causing him to increase the number of times, one more word and he'll increase it to seventy.

I quietly went to the fence and took my stance, Timber saw that we are really doing this and joined my side, we both ran with me taking the first step, we ran from the first fence to the opposite one, running back and forth, running faster with each step, I wasn't even counting but apparently Ronnie was, how could I count when I was busy running?

"Stop!", Ronnie commanded thirty minutes later, we halted on our heels and were breathing heavily "where you counting?" He asked staring at us, I bent over in an attempt to control my breathing.

"No." I heaved out.

"Why?" He asked. What sort of a question is that?

"How could w....?" I asked as I took in a deep breathe.

"The goal here is for you to stay focused, run and count as you do so, sixty eight times." He said motioning for us to continuous running.

We tried again, we ran and I counted this time, by the time I reached sixty eight, I stopped but Timber was still running, he isn't counting, I was about to tell him we are already at sixty eight but Ronnie motioned for me to keep shut. I focused on evening my breathing and regaining composure.

I wonder when he'll realise it, thankfully, ten minutes later he did, he laid on the floor as exhaustion hit him hard.

"That was just warm up, now for the real thing. You both will fight each other, we are going to start with the basics, self defence." He said with a straight face.

"Okay." We responded in unison.

"Let's begin," he said and I gave him my full attention, the wind blew gently drying off some of my sweat "this is how you take your defence stance." He said going into position. He spread his legs apart bending his knee a bit, back straight, with both his hands glued together and he raised it up reaching his nose.

"Now do it!", he instructed me and I took the position he is in "okay." He said and stood upright.

"Here is your attack stance," he said taking an attack stance, he had one leg in front of the other with both knees slightly bent, his back arched, his hand into a fist, his hands in front of him and the right in front of the left.

"When Timber swings his fist to your head you duck swiftly." He instructed and without any warning Timber swung his fist at me, I ducked but not swiftly, his fist collided with my head but I ignored the stinging to it.

"Again!!", he said and Timber swung his fist at me but this time I ducked swiftly his fist missing my head "always remain your stance!!" He said to me and I took my defence stance again.

"Now aim for his gut!!" He instructed Timber. He tried to punched my gut but I held his fist.

"Kick his leg!!" He instructed, Timber did as so but I jumped up.

"Aim for his side." Timber did just that but I hit his hand away with mine making him stumble back a little, I took my defence stance again.

"Now kick him in the gut!!!" He instructed me and I did as so, Timber didn't have time to avoid my kick, my leg collided with his stomach and he fell on his back, I took back my stance and waited for him to get back up.

"Take your stance and fight gain!!!" He instructed us to redo the whole thing.

Timber aimed for my head, I quickly ducked, he aimed for my stomach and I held his fist, he aimed for my leg and I jumped up, he aimed for my side and I hit his hand away, he stumbled back and I kicked his stomach with my leg successfully bringing him to the ground, and I gave a satisfied smile.

"Take your stance!!! Again!!" Ronnie instructed, I was breathing heavily.

Timber aimed for my head, I ducked, he aimed for my stomach but instead of using his fist he used his leg, I acted fast and grabbed it and twisted it land I him on the floor, he jumped back up and aimed for my leg, I jumped up and as I did that his leg collided painfully with my side knocking me to the ground.

"Good!!" Ronnie yelled. It seems he wants us to use some skills while doing this basic moves. I saw Timber sinking as he took his stance again.

I took my defence stance and Timber aimed for my head, I ducked, he aimed for my stomach with his leg, I used my left leg and kicked his leg away and he fell to his side, but immediately jumped back up, he tried to punch me in the face but both of my hands blocked his attack.

He took his stance again and swung his leg at my head, I ducked and used the grass cutter motion to kick his second leg, successfully knocking him on his back, he landed with a loud thud and groaned.

"Enough!!" Ronnie said stopping our fight. Timber got up and we both stared at him expectantly.

"Now switch positions! Saffron take the attack stance!! Timber take the defence stance!!" He instructed and we did as so.

I made the first move and aimed for his leg with my leg and he ducked, I did as though I was going to kick his leg, he jumped off and I kicked his side, knocking him on the ground, he groaned and I took my attack stance.

He recovered from my kick and took his stance, I was thinking of what other move o could do other than this ones as he already is anticipating my moves.

I did as though I was going to attack his side with my fist, anticipative his next moves he stretched his hand out in an attempt if grab my fist but I changed my moves and I grabbed his hand, twisted it and brought him to the ground. He landed hard breathing heavily, he took him longer to recover, he got up and took his stance.

"Enough!!! Now both of you take an attack stance!!!!!" He instructed, we did as so and Timber made the first move, he aimed for my head, I knew I have to attack back, I didn't duck instead I grabbed his fist and twisted his hand to the back, he let out a loud yelp and I kicked his leg bringing him to the ground, I heard someone hollered but I paid them no attention.

He recovered and swung his leg at my stomach I grabbed his leg, I was about to twist it when he did rolled himself in the air, twisting my hand and I was forced to let go and I stumbled back, Timber landed gracefully not giving me any time to react as he swung his fist to my side, the impact was hard, I stumbled but I recovered quickly.

I swung my leg in an attempt to kick his leg, he jumped up and swung his leg, it collided painfully with my head, I fell on the ground hard as my vision blurred.

Never. Give. Up. With these three words I jumped to my feet and did a back flip landing gracefully behind him, and I kicked his back and he landed painfully on his face, he jumped to his feet and we both took an attack stance, this time I lunged first, I barrelled into him, knocking both of us down, I swung my fist to his face, making his nose bleed.

Before I could punch him again he punched me and I lost focus, he pushed me off him and was about to kick my head, I acted fast, I kicked his leg away and kicked his stomach, he fell on his back hardly, I took my attack stance and was waiting for him to get back up but he didn't, he gave up, I won, a smile made its way to my face.

"That's enough!!" Ronnie said and I straightened up and went to help Timber up.

"Sorry man." I apologized.

"It's cool." He said breathing heavily.

"You both did good, that was impressive." Ronnie praised and we both gave him a smile.

"Wow that was intense." Del said both her and Celeste walked up to us.

"Yeah." Timber breathed out.

"Are you okay? You're bleeding a bit." Celeste asked him worriedly.

"No I'm okay." He brushed it off.

"You both did amazing! I thought you both was fighting for real for a second." She said with a chuckle.

"I thought it wouldn't end, you guys were at it for an hour." Del said staring at us with a grin.

"Yeah, we were training." I told them.

"This is not the time to sing your praises you have just learned the basics, you still have more to learn. You girls should excuse us." Ronnie said, they both flashed us a smile and waved as they jogged back into the house.

"This is just the beginning." Ronnie said with a mysterious glint in his eyes. Should we be scared?

"Do hundred push ups and jog around the house fifty times!!!!", Ronnie instructed and we both groaned audibly "let's make that a hundred and twenty push ups and jog around the house eighty times." He said smirking at us. We know not to complain, if we complain he'll increase it, we laid down on the ground and started doing the push up.
