Chapter 98 RYN
Unfortunately for me, I was so bothered by Sadie's news that I forgot to get my painkillers and by the time I went in; it was almost time for training. I quickly changed into my uniform and took deep breaths, making sure to walk in a manner that does not trigger my wound. Keeping a neutral expression, I entered the open field. This was a large area surrounded by trees and had somehow become one of my favourite places. I used to enjoy training here, especially in the evenings when the gentle breeze cools my skin after an intense training session.
Aside from that, I loved being able to run and do a lot of things that had been significantly beneficial to my wolf. At first, I was scared that I'd be asked to shift, but thankfully when others shifted for runs; I wasn't forced to. Now that I think of it, could Prince Theon have had something to do with that?
I shook my head. Whomever it might be, I'm grateful, otherwise people like Konan will have had something new to taunt me with.
The first thing I noticed on the field was a different man in an Asst. Coach uniform. He was tall, with his dark hair slicked back with gel. He seemed to be in his early thirties and stood tall with his arms behind his back, watching the others warm
up.
"Are you the new coach?" I asked as I approached him.
He turned around, stern-faced and unsmiling.
"Ryn Ashmore." I stretched forth my hand for a handshake.
The man whose tag said Collins, looked at his wristwatch instead and when he looked at me, his dark brown eyes hardened, "What are you standing there for?! Join them!"
"Uhm, yes, sir." I stated, before running into the field.
The next three hours became some of the worst in my life. We went through every warmup in the book and practiced team sessions that involved running at full speed, crouching on the belly, and jumping over high placements.
All through this, Collins yelled at us and insulted us while praising Konan. I immediately deduced that they were birds of the same feather and when Collins began to pick on me, I was not surprised. He noticed me moving at a much slower speed than everybody else, and decided to make me the center of his attention.
"WHY ARE YOU IN A MAN'S SPORT WHEN YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T KEEP UP?!" He yelled into my ears as I tried to run with a three thousand pound tree log on my shoulders.
"WHAT USE ARE YOU WHEN THE ENEMY FINDS YOU THIS SLOW?!" He yelled in my face. His spit flying everywhere. "They might as well catch you and f***k you till you're dead!"
I bit my tongue, feeling my face go red as his words tried to cut me down session after session. All I could do was focus on the pain in my stomach and hoped Theon wouldn't come to save me, cause that... would be highly embarrassing.
By the time we were done, I could barely walk. While we all sat on the field, maxxed out and tired, Collins gave us some bu****hit version of a peptalk and wished us goodluck on our test tomorrow. Afterward, he left and some of the guys sat on the field resting, while some went back into the building. I, on the other hand, rushed into a corner in the woods, far away from earshot.
When I was sure no one would hear me, I covered my mouth with one hand, held my stomach with the other, and cried

bitterly. Every muscle in my body spasmed and my stomach felt like there was a gaping hole in it.

Suddenly, I felt nauseous, and before I knew it I was bending over, vomiting my breakfast. After a while of retching. I wiped my mouth with the sleeve of my uniform and walked to a nearby tree. Leaning against it, I panted for breath, feeling lightheaded and weak. My wolf stirred, and I could feel her trying to come to the surface and heal me, but she couldn't. She was just as weak as I was.
My fingers found their way to my pendant and Moonstone, and as I fingered them, I wondered if Theon could feel me. All of a sudden, my vision swayed, so I eased myself to sit on the leafy ground, while checking to make sure there were no insects nearby. The idea was to take a breather to get myself again. Maybe just close my eyes for a couple of minutes. I checked my wristwatch. 4:09pm

I closed my eyes, planning to rest for just five minutes before making my way back to the building.
When I opened my eyes again, it was almost dark. The sun had set, but there was still a sliver of light for me to see. Checking my wristwatch, I saw i I was eleven minutes past seven.
I rushed to my feet and doubled over as another sharp pain wracked my body, making me tremble. Prince Theon did not

Feeling slightly better, I proceeded to make my way back to the building. A small headache formed in my temple and I was holding my head, staggering through the woods when a bright white light shone in my face.
"Gotchya!"
Groaning, I placed my hand on my face to shield my eyesight. At first, I had assumed it was Prince Miro sending out a search party for me, then I got the chilling feeling that I might be very wrong.
"I told you she was still here." A voice said and a deadly shiver ran down my spine.
That was Konan's voice.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Bringing down my hand, I realized Konan wasn't alone, there were about two more guys with him.
Swallowing hard, I let my eyes scan for ways to escape. The seventh rule of combat had stated that if you were too injured or weak to fight your opponent, then you run.
I took a step back while putting on my fiercest look. "What do you want?" I queried.
Konan turned off the flashlight and pinned me with a deadly glare. "What do you think, b***h?" He and his guys took a step forward, each carrying mischievous smirks on their faces as they cracked their knuckles. "I'm here to get rid of the competition." That's when I turned and ran.
