Chapter 178
“Not terrible.” A brunette woman standing next to Warrior Osiston says.
“At least you didn’t die or throw -up newbie.”
I hobble over to them looking at Warrior Osiston for feedback on how I did.
The soreness is settling into my body now that the adrenaline is draining.
The only thing he says is, “I can work with that.” As he writes some notes on a clipboard that I have
no idea where it came from. He didn’t have it on our tour.
Still not looking at either of us, he starts talking to his clipboard, “Skylar, this is Audrina, your floor
leader.
Anything you need, go to her and she will get it sorted out for you.”
I nod at him, still waiting for any kind of corrections or things to improve on, but I don’t think he is
going to say anything unless I ask and I don’t know if I am allowed.
He’s let me be fairly open with all of my questions, but in front of one of the leaders here on the
compound I don’t know if that’s acceptable.
Those are the kind of mistakes I don’t want to make.
I don’t want to look insubordinate to Audrina, who will be my superior for the foreseeable future.
But, the thought of getting no information on how I really did is eating me alive.
I take a deep breath and let out a little sigh.
“Warrior Osiston, what can I do better on the course?
What are my goals and objectives? I need something to work towards, but I’m not sure where I can
improve if I don’t know what to fix.” I’m looking straight at him, but I don’t miss the audible sharp
intake of breath from Audrina.
“All good questions Little One.” Audrina’s head snaps to him, but I don’t change my focus.
“This time I just wanted to see if you could complete the course.
I needed to see the extent of the damage that still remains from your injuries.
That is not something that can be assessed from a hospital bed and some modifications will need to
be made in your early training.”
I nod when he doesn’t go on. Still not an answer. I fight the eye roll.
“There is alittle more than an hour before dinner. Audrina, introduce her to her escort for tomorrow
and I would suggest about ten to twenty minutes in the hot tub for those ribs, you’re going to feel
that jump into the cargo net in the morning.”
“Yes, sir.” I say, hearing the dismissal, then turn to Audrina looking at her expectantly waiting for her
to lead the way.
“Let’s go, newbie. Everyone should be back from training missions now.” She starts walking back
toward the weight area and the pool. I try to take in as much of my surroundings as possible.
I know I am going to miss something, but I want as few issues as possible getting around the
compound.
I don’t know any of these warriors right now, so I don’t know if they will try to help me as a fellow
warrior or if we are all competing.
I have to assume I’m on my own until I can make some friends here.
We walk towards the massive hot tub that is now full of men and women and | actually have a jolt of
fear run through me for just asecond.
All of these people are significantly bigger than me and for sure older than me.
At least now I can appreciate Luna Ava and Luna Queen Anne’s hesitation in sending me here too
early.
“Reade!” Audrina shouts suddenly next to me and I try to hide the little jump at the sudden shout.
“ Here’s your shadow. Come get her and show her the ropes.”
Perfect, my floor leader wants nothing to do with me.
This is going to be fun.
I just need to figure out if it’s a newbie thing or a female thing.
Hopefully it’s a newbie thing and we can at least get past it and she won’t cause problems, cause I
have a feeling she can cause problems.
“Hey!! Mighty Midget!! It’s you! How the hell did you manage to get here? Aren’t you, like 12?” He
jumps out of the hot tub and runs over to me and wraps me in a quick hug.
