hitting Ash or Lancer instead! That thought scared me to death. And
that is what made me decide to work on this gift and get as strong as I could
with it.
After 45 minutes of trying different tactics, Fillie
decided to let me throw knives with my hands and then guide them to the
bullseye with my mind. After about 30 minutes of practicing I got really good
at it. It made me wonder if I was already using that gift since knife throwing
was my best ability with a weapon.
I thought back to the first attack on Sendryl after we
arrived, and wondered if those knives I threw really were guided by my
thoughts. I had a feeling that to some degree I was using my new gift.
Then we took a break and had lunch. After that Ash tortured
me. Plain and simple, no other way to describe what he did but torture. When we
were done working out with running and weight training, I could barely walk. He
helped me to get to the kitchen for a light snack. But I couldn’t get up from
my chair, so he carried me to my room to get my shower kit and a change of
clothes, then he carried me to the bathroom.
“B, I could help you into the shower and even help to wash
your body for you. You know I wouldn’t miss a spot, right?” He gave me that
devilish grin of his while raising his eyebrows several times.
“Ash, you are not going to help me do anything where I have
no clothes on. So just forget it. What you could do however, is talk the
Commander into getting a mineral bath set up here like what the reverend had at
his compound. That would take away all of my sore muscles. And in the meantime,
you will be giving me a strictly platonic massage when I get back to my room.”
I waited until Ash left and then I slowly got undressed and made my way to a
hot shower. It helped a little bit, but not nearly enough.
I hoppled my way back to my room where Ash was waiting for
me. I laid face down on my mattress and Ash proceeded to give me a good back
massage. An hour later Fillie came to tell us that dinner was ready.
“What in the name of the two moons are you two doing in
here? I heard moaning from the other side of the door. Ash, you better be
keeping your promise to me.” Fillie came in and hovered over my back, to keep
Ash from touching me.
“Fillie, he is helping me. My muscles are so sore I could
barely move. Ash gave me a back massage to help loosen up my muscles. He worked
me too hard today.” I tried to turn over so I could see Fillie but I didn’t
have the strength to move.
“Well, dinner is ready so get moving. Everyone is waiting
for you two.”
When we finally made it into the dining room, everyone took
one look at me and busted up laughing. Cash had to pay Toren $20. Apparently
they bet on how haggard I would be after my work out.
“Ha ha, very funny guys. Now if you would be so kind as to
help me get a plate of food?” I looked to Toren since he won the bet.
Toren was very helpful and grabbed a plate of food for me,
while Ash helped me to sit. My thighs were burning from the weight training and
I had a tough time sitting down. Toren commented that I looked like a werewolf
from one of his video games. I was bent over and my knees where bent but I
couldn’t sit without help or stand up straight.
“Ok Toren, just wait until I get you back, it might take me
a couple of weeks to have the energy, but I am thinking of ways to get back at
you right now.” I looked over to Fillie and then back to Toren’s drink. We both
watched as his juice slowly made its way right into his lap.
Toren stood up quickly and bumped the table and most
everyone’s plates bumped around so much that some had food on their laps. But
curiously, Ash and I had no problems with our plates.
Ash leaned in close to my ear and whispered, “I saw that.
If you aren’t careful these guys are going to figure out you have more power
than you have let on.” He quickly kissed my temple and turned towards his plate
and started eating his dinner.
