THE NEXT MORNING
ZAVIER
The training started the next day, of course it did, no warning, no mercy, and no hope, only Logan's loud voice at five in a morning.
"Wake up." Logan's voice cut through the air.
"It is still night." Ben said.
"It is morning." Kael corrected.
"It is betrayal." Leo added without opening his eyes.
"I CAN SEE MY ANCESTORS-" Riko sat up instantly.
"You are not dying." Ben said.
"I AM PREPARING."Riko frowned.
Adam was already standing, of course he was. Fully awake, fully composed and fully terrifying.
"You are late." Adam said.
"It has been three seconds." Ben replied.
"Too late." Adam said.
"I hate him." Riko whispered.
"You love him." Leo corrected.
"I DO NOT LOVE HIM."Riko screamed.
"You will after survival." Leo added.
The first thing they did was take us to test our endurance. It sounded simple enough to run a circle at a specific time, but not when Adam is our teammate.
"Run." Logan said.
"How far?" Ben asked.
"Yes." Kael answered.
