past secrets.

part 2

For some reason everyone kept looking at me, in a really weird way. All i could do was stare back and smile.

I always wonder what this building on the side of the school was for, and now i know. I wonder why only a few students can enter this place. Why is there so much secrecy over a combat class?

"Great! is not enough that i basically see u everywhere I go, but now i have to see you here too." said Ashely.

"i could say the same thing about you, actually i think everyone here would agree that if we had a choice people like you should never have the privilege to even be in this class."

"People like me? Your the outsider. Mr. Williams made a mistake allowing someone like you into this place. I know that and so does everyone else here."

"Sounds to me like its just your fear talking, this IS a fighting class after all. If i where you I'll stop talking crap about people and start training more."

I was waiting for a snarky comment, but instead she just stood there quietly looking at me. Then everyone started laughing i was a bit confused. Where they laughing at me? I turned to look at Ava she kind of looked just a little guilty.

"oh my god that was the funniest thing I ever heard. Did you guys hear that? Hahaha. i was getting more and more mad every time she laughed.

"I don't get why your laughing. what's so funny? i finally asked.

"The fact that you think this is a fighting class. I mean sure we do fight and stuff, but do u really think thats all there is to this class. Clearly Mr Williams didn't trust you enough to tell you the whole truth, but that isn't the saddest part. the sad part is that your so called friends didn't trust you either, isn't that right Ava oh and how could i forget about you Onnie."

I turned to look at them, they where both avoiding my eyes.

"That's enough Ashely."

"Mr.Williams? How long has he been standing there. How much did he hear?

"Glad you can join us Mr.Williams. We where just talking about why you decided to let this girl into this class."

"Why? Does my decision bother you?

"Of course not. It just doesn't make sense to me or anyone here really."

"Is that so. Raise your hand if you agree with Ashely."

My heart was beating really fast. A few people did raised there hands, mainly the people that hang out with Ashely. Mr. Williams was awfully quiet, he was just standing there looking at the raised hands, but then he said...

"Clear the fighting ring." He said and walked away. What the hell was that about? The fighting ring? Was he about to fight?

"Akame inside the ring Ashely you too."

WTF! Was he going to make us fight? I mean i fought her before, but why right now all of a sudden. I knew what i signed up for when i came here, but i thought i was at least going to have time to warm up and practice.

Everyone was looking at me i obviously did not want to look weak so of course i got in the ring. Ashely seem so calm and confident she even had a small smirk on her face.

"I want to see y'all fight. We haven't really use the ring all that much because everyone of y'all is always doing other things."

"What other things? said Ashely. "Oh right we can't say in front of the new girl."

Mr. Williams stood in front of Ashley in a very intimidating way, you could tell that Ashely got a bit nervous by the way she backed away slightly and looked down.

"You haven't really been around much Ashely, and when you are i never see you actually fighting with someone one on one. We all know that your strong just like your mother, but being strong like your father is also important. Don't try to erase that other part of you.

For a moment i thought i saw a bit of sadness in her when he said those things, but then she smiled and said...

"Nice speech. Can we start now."

Who is her mother? I've never seen her parents before.

"Alright the rules are simple stay INSIDE the ring if you come out you loose. If i say STOP you take 3 steps away from each other, or there will be a punishment. Also this is a fair fight. so no cheating." He looked at Ashely when he said that, and she rolled her eyes. It doesn't matter what she does I'm so going to win. I have to prove myself to everyone here they all think I'm a hopeless weak little girl that needs saving.

As soon as Mr. Williams said go Ashely immediately attacked me. It was kind of impressive the way she spin around and kick me on my side, which of course caused me to fall. She took advantage of my fall to strike me in the face, but my reflexes where faster. I immediately moved out the way and she punched the mat instead- i wonder if that hurt her. I got back on my feet and this time it was my turn to strike. She threw a punch using her right arm and i blocked it using my left arm. Then i punched her using my Right arm, which made her loose her balance and fall. For some reason everyone looked shocked and a little impressed with my performance. I made eye contact with dylan and he had a smile on his face, clearly he was into the fight, i liked the fact that he was looking at me and the way he smiled just made me feel a little weird -a feeling that i've never felt before. Ashely was now on the ground, this was my chance to win; all i had to do was hold her down so that she can tap out and it'll be over, i would win and people would stop looking at me the way that they do.

I got on her i was trying to hold her hand down, it was a little hard she sure was putting up a fight. I pin one of her arms in the ground, but she smacked my face with her other arm and pushed me off her. She almost had me but i wrapped my legs around her, there was no way out of this- She has to tap out! Just a little longer i thought to myself. I'm going to win. I'm going to make mother proud of me. Mr. Williams won't regret letting me join this class, and i will finally fit in. I won't just be the "new girl" anymore.

She started reaching for my face trying to get out of my grip. Then she grabbed the necklace mom gave me and pulled it off me. At that moment i was so focused in trying to win that i didn't even care that much. I started to feel warm then hot. Like i was burning up, all of a sudden it was hard to breathe. I let her go and i got up trying to catch my breath and i started seeing these images. I saw a lady looking at me and smiling, it was the same lady i saw in my dream. Only she seem happier here and she wasn't running or crying. I saw a little girl running around and a guy that looked like Mr. Williams. I keep hearing voices echoing in my head.

Why! YOU DID THIS TO OUR FAMILY, YOU RUINED IT!

I HAD TO, I DID IT FOR HER YOU HAVE TO HELP ME! PLEASE TAKE HER.

NO. I WON'T EVER FORGIVE YOU FOR THIS! YOU ARE DEAD TO ME.

PLEASE. YOU'RE MY SISTER!

And yet you betrayed me.

I don't know what happening to me, i don't understand any of this. Is it normal to have dreams while being awake or... did all of this happen.

Thank you for reading!!
