I opened my eyes slowly as I felt sunlight hitting them, I rubbed my eyes and sighed remembering what happened this morning. I sat upright and looked around my room waiting for my sleepiness to go away.
I stood up and walked to the bathroom, I grabbed my toothbrush and started brushing my teeth. I looked up at the mirror and my neck had purple bruises in the print of fingers. I ran my hand through them, pressed against it, and flinched.
I took a sharp intake of air and continued brushing my teeth. I walked towards my shower.
I took off my clothes and started bathing. I ran my fingers through my hair feeling the water run down my skin. I stayed for a while in the showers, feeling the hot water through my back.
The water began to turn cold and I turned it off. I grabbed the towel of the hook and wrapped it around me just as I heard voices on the other side of the wall.
I slowly walked to the wall and pressed my ear against it
"I can't believe she did that, Melissa is like the kindest person here." Someone said I couldn't recognize the voice since everything was muffled. "You're right, since Melissa got here Athena has been aggressive."
I rolled my eyes and walked to the closet not letting them ruin my day. I started to look for undergarments but I couldn't find them. I started opening every cabinet until I found one full of lingerie. My eyes widened as this was the only thing could use. I grabbed a red set and put it on.
I grabbed some grey sweatpants and a White shirt. I put on some socks and I started brushing my hair. I shook my head letting my hair get volume. I walked to the bathroom and opened the cabinets, I found a concealer, mascara, blush, and a highlighter. I smiled, this will do. I applied everything on and walked out of my room.
I headed downstairs, I heard voices on the right side and I followed the voices. As I walked in I saw everybody was seated at the dining table. Leo was on the left side while Kai was seated beside him. Melissa and Valentino were seated next to each other on the right side. Hmm, I guess there's no space for me.
Everybody's head turned towards me as they heard my footsteps. They're talking turned silent.
I raised an eyebrow, "Don't mind me, keep talking your shit."

I continued walking until I got to the stove. I took out some eggs and bacon and cooked them separately. I toasted some bread and put everything on my plate making it into a sandwich. I grabbed my plate and walked past their table feeling their eyes on my back.
I walked up the stairs and walked until I got into my room. I closed the door and locked it. I sat down on my bed while eating. I saw a remote on my nightstand with a button. I grabbed it and pressed the button and the wall made a noise-making a television come out the wall. I smile came onto my face thinking I could be here all day watching movies.
I went to Netflix and started watching movies.
By now four hours have passed and I just finished watching the second movie. The plate I was eating three hours ago was resting on my nightstand. I groaned standing up and I grabbed the plate, I walked out of my room and towards the kitchen. I looked around but I saw nobody, I shrugged and washed my plate.
Just when I was about to turn around, I felt someone grab my arm tightly and they turned me around. I was met with Valentino's neck and I turned my head up to look at him.
"What?" I harshly asked.
"We have training in five minutes, I suggest you get ready and change your outfit." He bluntly said eyeing me.
I could feel my arm becoming numb by his hold. "I'm not doing shit with you."
I saw him about to raise his fist but I ducked down making him hit nothing but air. I pressed my elbow against his stomach hearing him grunt but he didn't back down. He pushed back more against the counter and put my hand behind me trying to push myself forward.
I grunted feeling my back being pushed more. I looked around for something I could use. A knife caught my eye, I quickly grabbed the knife and pressed it against his neck. His face contorted into surprise and he released his hold on me slowly.
"Get the fuck off me before I plunge this knife into your neck," I said coldly while I had my eyes narrowed.
"Hey what taking you so long babe-" Her whiny voice entered the room. "Oh my God! Let my baby go!" She started to walk towards me.
"Take one more fucking step you lying bitch and your dear boyfriend will be on the ground lifeless in seconds" I warned in a low tone making her eyes widen and she took four steps back.

Kai and Leo entered the room and when they saw me with a knife to their leader they took their guns out and pointed them at me.
I rolled my eyes and I saw Valentino think of the options he had, he realized he had none and slowly backed away. "Come on guys, we'll start training without her" Valentino said.
Melissa quickly jumped on him and start talking. "Babe I thought I would lose you forever, that bitch is so mean. No wonder nobody likes her" I walked out knocking my shoulder with force on her making her fall to the ground.
"Babe help me." Melissa raised her hands trying to make Valentino pick her up but he just groaned and walked away. I walked away too laughing at what just happened and Melissa was with her mouth open. I climbed the stairs and turned around seeing that everybody went outside.
I smiled in relief and started exploring the house. I came across a theater room and a gaming room. I walked down a hallway and saw there were two metal doors and there was a pad that uncertificated your fingerprint. I slowly pressed my thumb on the pad and It beeped and turned green.
The doors flew open and there was a gym in here, mats were laying everywhere and the floor was black. There was high technology everywhere. I entered the room and I walked over to the screen explaining the instructions. Press the button in the corner of the room to start your training. Your time will be recorded. I walked to the corner of the room. Nothing happened, I stood still for a second before I felt something fall on top of me.
I felt myself crash to the ground but I quickly stood up and looked around for the source. I twisted my body around to face the object but instead, I found a holographic person. Ummmm ok this is weird, I lunged myself at it and punched his chest violently, making it fall to the ground and disappear.
Another one appeared and it lunged itself at me and I quickly did a back handspring, kicking its face at the same time. Just as I was about to hit it again everything turned off and the figure disappeared.
I turned around expecting to be alone but I saw Melissa with an evil smile on her face.
"Well hello Athena, I didn't know you were going to be here" She started "I think I know why nobody likes you."She started whispering in my ear.
"You see, everybody thinks your a bitch now because of me." I could feel her breath on my cheek and I retained myself from backing away. "I will make your life miserable. Do you hear me!" I kept my face still. "Valentino will always choose me over some whore who doesn't even have parents." I flinched at her last comment but didn't say anything.
"No wonder your parents left you, your a fucking disgrace." I felt my anger rise and I exploded at her last comment. I turned around quickly and looped my hands around her neck and slid myself between her legs making her head come down and make hard contact with the ground.
Her eyes turned bloodshot. "You fucking bitch, you'll pay for this." She lunged forward, her arm swinging in my direction and I ducked, missing by inches.
She retracted her arm and watched me with shock probably wondering how I missed it. I pretend to go to hit the side of her face and she ducked falling into my trap, I brought my knee up and It smashed against her face making her stumble backward and yell in pain. I saw her fall to the ground, holding her bleeding face. I looked up and saw the three guys looking at me in shock. I shook my head is disbelief.
Leo took two steps back while Kai and Valentino took a step forward. "Athena you need to calm down." Valentino started walking towards me but he was staring at Melissa.
"Calm down! You're telling me to calm down?" I yelled starting to walk toward him.
"This bitch here was rubbing on my face that I don't have parents and you're telling me to calm down?" I pointed towards myself while Valentino looked at me in shock by my burst.
I walked out of the room, my shoulder hitting Valentino's shoulder making him take a step back. I ignored the pain I felt and walked outside feeling the air surround me making me calm down instantly.
I breathed in and out for a while before I looked up at the sky and I said out loud...
"I miss you mom, what do I do?"

Hi everyone, really, really sorry for disappearing on you guys, illness lead to a deep depressive episode that I'm still struggling with. Been thinking about coming back to revamp/finish writing Artisan and noticed a kind reader pointing out my work has been stolen and published on Amazon.

Mortis Operandi 1- New Hire
Thank you for reading, I have to start with that. The feedback and encouragement from RoyalRoad users helped me finish my book. I left the unedited version up as I worked on editing and making it a little more polished. However the time has come for me to put it on Amazon and hopefully let other people read the story. If you have Kindle unlimited you should be able to read the story there. If you just want to order an ebook version you can do that as well. I should have a paperback version coming up. https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07T46B4NM Again thank you for reading and helping me on this journey. It hasn't ended however, my second book which I'm hoping to do well enough that reading the first isn't completely necessary, is still being worked on here, https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/24562/mortis-operandi-2--terms-and-conditions . Any feedback, comments, even critism is welcome as I work on giving you the best version of my story. I'll leave the first two chapters up here, unless Amazon says otherwise. There should be enough differences to avoid issues though. THANK YOU! Thank you! thank you! __________________________________ Adventurers enter dungeons every day. Battling evil monsters, defying dangerous terrain, triumphing over devious traps... ... but none of them ever ask why? That arrow trap, who reloads it? The pitfall trap, who cleans out the bodies and sharpens the spikes? What if the grates get clogged, where will the blood and gore drain? When you are trying to study ancient lore or plan on conquering a kingdom, you don't want to worry about all that. You just want peace. Mortis Operandi is a different kind of company. One that celebrates diversity. One that celebrates value in individuals. With flexible pay and plenty of advancement opportunities, it is a company that knows its workers are it's most valuable asset. As they design, build, and install traps, rooms, obstacles, and repair they are a one stop shop. When a possible recall sets events into motion, the company must pivot in a new paradigm of full circle Dungeon service. The Goblin Eft No-toes has a solution that entwines ex-adventurer Elric into the business of death. *Note the above statements are forward looking statements. In no way do they promote or suggest that Mortis Operandi will project greater sales or revenue. Understand that investing in a company does involve some risks, and possibly much rewards.
