Chapter 116 - Ethan's longing

Running around in circles and aiming daggers at the custom made human shape wooden target; Diana had a stoic expression on. She looked completely different. Her hair that was usually braided or bun, was weaved back at the left part, while the other part was let down, cascading on the right side of her face down to her body. She look hot as the excessive training improved her curves.

The black leggings she had on hugged her lower body tightly. Her pink armless top revealing her beautiful collarbone and alluring well carved shoulders.

She stopped and flipped her hair from her face after exhausting the daggers on her. Her blemishes has faded, but one could still see the fade marks that proves they were once there.

It's been 5 month since Fatty left. She heard it's normal for it to take longer as she wouldn't want to make the same mistake the other girl made, which means she has to plan it well; but Diana hasn't been the same since then.

Nathan left the camp a week after, leaving Aroma to put her through the compulsory training that should be gotten from a teacher directly; which Diana got hard, but found herself not complaining, as she really couldn't take it anymore. She wants to get strong faster.

But it wasn't as easy as it seems. She got it the harsh way from Aroma, who left two month after, as she's needed by Nathan's side and only came to check up on her once in a while; just like how the other trainees were getting from their teachers.

She has passed out from exhaustion numerous times, but it's making her stronger and now she never passed out despite how hard the training gets, especially now that she's mostly getting trained by instructors who shows no mercy.

It was said that she will get picked on, but she's the picker now. She couldn't recall the trainees she hasn't challenge in the camp, some gave her the beating of her life while she beat up some.

Her roommate were always weary of her now, as she usually came for them while sleeping and claimed she couldn't fall asleep and wanted to have fun.

It's like they open the cage to the beast inside her after they made it clear to her that challenging is one of the ways they got strong quickly and learn. Perhaps those were their believe about her change.

They weren't able to sleep peacefully in the night and still got disturbed during the day. It's normal, but the fact that Diana doesn't get tired of it and barely last a day without challenging someone is abnormal in their eyes.

Even Zika who is well knowledged among them is finding her hard to deal with these days, when she hasn't even lasted a year in the camp.

Diana grinned as she stared at the daggers she threw, who were all stuck in the target chest. "Again TUD." she said with a smile and headed toward the table where the spare daggers were placed and picked more.

Walking towards it once more, without turning around and focus on the target; she began throwing, and in a moment; the five daggers in her hands were nowhere to be found.

She nearly went crazy with the training. There wasn't an end to instructors with different training and all. There was one who was in charge of teaching them secrecy, making them realize how they could endanger the life of loved ones if they don't learn to control what came out of their mouth.

There's one who came to teach them to drive. Things like this excite her, but not when it gets to the point where she nearly had an accident as they were asked to race. She learned to drive different vehicles she never thought she would even get to see in a close distance, and many other crazy trainings.

Even though she managed to pull through it and could do all now, not perfectly like some trainees, but had surpassed a lot of them; it's hard for her mental state.

She can't recalled chatting with her mates anymore. She just kept training and feeling like fighting everyday. It becomes something she didn't want to last a day without doing.

Even Aroma who was pushing her warned her the last time she came to take things easy. She barely use the needle Aroma gave her anymore as well, as she barely gave herself enough time to relax to the extent of catching a cold, which actually aided her skin irritation.

....

Ethan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His grandpa's threat that seem like a bluff then, actually got put into action.

He just returned from being summoned at a police station to give statements and also got questioned. It's funny to him as he had no idea his grandfather really like Diana these much, to the extent of taking legal action against him.

The man took it seriously. He refused to talk to him at home as well and kept ignoring him. He's pissed that Ethan lied about Diana being his woman to make him stop asking of her, which made it takes this long and the girl's whereabouts is still unknown.

He believed Ethan took advantage of his trust and lied, which is unlike him.

Sitting on the black leather couch with his legs crossed in his room and constantly running his left hand through his disheveled hair, while his right hand held onto his mobile device; Ethan bit down on his lower lip.

His blue eyes staring into space. Releasing his moisturized thin pink lips; he shut his eyes, rested his back on the couch and bit down at his lower lips once more, feeling tortured.

He felt like speaking to Diana, not because of his grandpa actions, but because he finds himself longing to see her, even though they haven't been together that much for such a feeling to occur.

But he's hesistating, because he promised Nathan he won't disturb, but this has been on his mind for a while now, he could barely control himself much longer.
