《The hidden warrior》Chapter 16
Advertisement
From my last training i was traumatised and i had to refrain my self from attacking Madame B when she pushed me to line up with the older girls. And with that another person who i guessed was the instructor walked in and another training began. I really hope it isn't like the last. I don't think i can take nay more. Ever.
For the first 30 minutes, the training consisted of each girl/woman (there were around 15 of us) pairing up and attacking a punch bag consistently. I was left by myself with Madame B keeping a very close eye on me, probably because I'm new. And maybe because I'm with girls that are much older than me. I would say she's keeping me safe in case one of them decides to attack me, or I don't know stare at me the wrong way? But i knew that wasn't the reason, because i just saw her let a teen get killed for not winning a fight! I know she'd let anything that inflicted pain onto me, or even killed me happen. As she said, i can easily be replaced. But that just made me try my hardest. As i was punching and kicking the bag, multiple times i was kicked, punched and hit with a bat of some sort or had verbal abuse thrown at me for not punching or kicking correctly! I'm sorry, who the hell does she think i am! I am 16, and a vigilante, I haven't learnt the proper way to fight! I just learnt as I went along. The anger and pain was almost enough to set a spark of my power off, but i managed to stop it just in time. Thank goodness i practised at least a bit at home. By the end of this so called warm up, my whole body was in agony! I'm not fit enough for this, and I don't think i ever will be.
I say that as if I'm going home tomorrow, when i know fully well I'm not. I might as well carry on with whatever we're doing to pass the time and painful memories of my home and my family. I suddenly miss the notes my mom would leave, even when i didn't see her for days on end and only caught a glimpse of her leaving or coming back.
After the warm up, we stretched and did some attacking manoeuvres on some fighting dummy's. But matter how well you did an attacking or defensive move, it was not good enough. Madame B and the instructor would hit us. The guards guarded the doors but other than that, they didn't intervene. I'm guessing these girls have been here long enough to know not to try and escape, because otherwise i believe the guards would be closer and helping Madame B and the instructor torture us. It occurred to me that through this training, none of the other girls were phased by getting hit, neither did they flinch. Madame B also kept repeating the phrase that we have no place in this world, and i had so many comebacks i wanted to use, but rightfully decided against it.

We then went on to throwing knives at targets. Now the throwing knives went ok. I hit 3/5 right in the centre and two went haywire, because I'm not used to using this skill. I believe the first 3 hit the target because of my bad luck lately, and it ran out by the last 2 and left me with my own skills, which obviously isn't good en0ugh considering everyone else hit dead centre each time. The guards removed the knives from the target each time it hit so there would be room to throw it again. I could still feel the gaze of the other girls and the embarrassment from their void faces, when i missed and that scared me.
Because i missed the targets i was severely punished by Madame B. The crazy psycho obviously likes hurting kids. She slapped, punched and kicked me to start with, which left me with a swollen eyes and bruised abdomen. I didn't cry out, or let any tears fall because i had enough common sense to know i will be punished more for that. Inside i was on the brink of dying with pain. It hurt so bad. But little did i know the worst was yet to come. She then took the knives i had used to attempt to hit the target and slashed my cheek. She then continued to stab me in the abdomen.
I GOT STABBED! STABBED IN THE GUT! At this point i let my pain show and let my tears fall freely. Blood was oozing out of my abdomen, funnily enough on the other side of my bruised ribs. She knows what she's doing. I was on the verge of taking the knife off of her and killing her. I hadn't even been here a day, and I'm already traumatised. I cant imagine what the other girls must have gone through. As i was crying like a broken mess on the floor, Madame B lifted my head up by yanking my hair whilst i yelped and sneered at me.
"You're even weaker than i thought! You may not be so valuable after all"
It took all of my power to stop crying as much as i could, and stop any more emotions from triggering my powers. I had felt a spark go through my body, and it was just waiting to be released. It hurt keeping it in, but i had to keep doing it, or i will never escape.

Madame B then kicked me, as if i was garbage. Well i am compared to the other girls. If she thinks I'm so bad why did she put me with the older group? I'd rather be with kids my own age. She kicked me all the way over to the guards, and i started internally panicking. My power was almost bursting at the seams. I didn't want to go anywhere near the guards, and tried scooting as far as i could from them, but i didn't get any far because i was in agony. She then started speaking to them in English, fortunately.
"Go let the girl clean herself up. She has 15 minutes, and then bring her straight back whether she is done or not"
The guard didn't reply, and nodded. He then continued to come over to me and picked me up. I was flung over his shoulder. I would be trying to escape from him because i have seen how brutal they can be, but i was in too much pain, and i knew that he wasn't going to kill me just yet. And i couldn't really stand let alone walk so i appreciated the ride, even if his shoulder was really bony and uncomfortable.
Now when i thought getting cleaned up meant getting a doctor to patch me up, but let me tell you how wrong i was. The guard walked into a small room and sat me on a wooden chair that looked as if it was going to break as soon as i sat on it. Luckily it didn't. He then went and stood by the door with his gun loaded and ready to fire and pointed to some supplies on the table next to me. The supplies included some rubbing alcohol, cotton pads and some needles and threads. Do people come here often if they have the supplies ready? it wouldn't surprise me, but what did was the fact that I WAS SUPPOSED TO PATCH MYSELF UP, WITHOUT ANYTHING TO NUMB MY PAIN! I have a very low pain tolerance and so i thought getting stabbed was the worst pain ever. Spoiler; its not.
As i was psyching myself up to patch myself up, i realised that i only have 15 minutes to help myself. And I'm pretty sure she was being generous. I estimated i had about 12 minutes left, so i got to work. I first off started by applying the the rubbing alcohol which made me hold my breath and shove my hands straight under my legs to hide the sparks being released. It worked as the guard didn't see, but the alcohol was so painful. It was as if my whole injury burned and froze at the same time. But i knew that wasn't going to be the worst part. I then rubbed the blood away with the cotton pad and grabbed a needle from the table and threaded a piece of string though. This took way too long because of my shaking hands. The guard could see i was struggling and yet did nothing. RUDE! When i finally got the thread through i stitched my cut up, which was now very easy to see. I wont give you the full details of what happened but i there were tears, blood and i had to apply another layer of alcohol to make sure i didn't get any infections.
Imagine that, i die from infection in this torture place. That would be embarrassing.
As i was putting the bottle back on the table i was lifted once again onto the guards shoulder, which again i was thankful for, but confused on how he knew that my time was up, because he didn't have a watch on. Oh well, at least i finished. As we came back into the training room, i was harshly shoved onto my feet, and it took a few seconds for me to get the room to stop spinning and stay on my feet steadily. And that's when I saw what was lined up on a table in the middle of the rooms.

Entangled Fates Book 1 - Quantum Beginnings
“By far, the greatest danger of Artificial Intelligence is that people conclude too early that they understand it.” —Eliezer Yudkowsky Hey all, we're moving over to book 2. This content is in a state of transition. The book is now availble on Amazon (includes extra chapters): https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B07W1534R8 Artificial intelligence was nearly mankind’s last invention. AI took off like a rocket, then when it racked up an impressive death toll, it crashed before it could blossom and took most high-tech industries with it. Resistance and fears became deep-set. Two decades after the infamous Rev. 4.6 incidents, humanity hasn’t quit dreaming of the wealth and power that could be at their fingertips. A new generation of mega-corporations rose from the ashes. When one melds a quantum computer to a barely functional mental patient as a PR move, there are those who seek to profit, those who want to destroy it, and Alex. Alex Sage is a typical college student trying to keep up his grades and maybe find a meaningful connection with the fairer sex. Then, an automated semi crashes into his home, killing his family and turning his head into a pin cushion in the process. Alex awakens to find most of his memories gone and an illegal AI hidden in his brain implant. Now the pet project of a tech billionaire and heavily in debt, Alex struggles to stay valuable enough to be kept online. Still grappling with the repercussions of his injuries, and threats from a dangerous anti-augmentation political movement, there are no easy answers and threats loom around every corner. Alex must use whatever resources he can to escape from under the thumb of a ruthless corporation, while keeping those he comes to love safe. Chapters will stay up on RRL until Aug 10. It'll go up on Kindle Unlimited after that. How do you get those extra chapters I didn't have planned for RR? If you want them, they'll be in the published book. Book 2 will still make sense without them - I made sure of that. But... isn't $3 a lot for extra chapters? Think of it as tipping me for a good job and you'd also be getting my eternal thanks. If you enjoyed it so much that the idea of missing out a few chapters haunts you, I did my job as an author and made an engaging story. What's in those extra chapters? Resolving a few issues, set up for the cybernetic revolution, a rather intense sex scene with a new partner, revelations of who's really pulling strings, and a bit of set up for book 2. Complaints that people missed out on it when it was published here won't help (sorry!). I posted this for the folks who helped me shape the book, which is you all! (Again, yay!) But... Why! Why not keep it all on RR forever? My editor likes being paid for one. For two, I'd like the ability to get broader readership. If I break even on editor costs, I'll be incredibly happy. What about book 2? Drafts for Book 2 will go up around Sept 10. My draft of Book 2 is done, and it will be handed to the editor once Book 1 is published. Feedback has been even more positive. Beta readers devoured it and wanted more. I'll add a link to Book 2 once it's up on RR. I'm more or less, using you all for Beta Readers, so you get it before it's "canon" and edited. I invite active and meaningful feedback during this process. In return, you get early access to chapters. That does mean that the book content or plot might be adjusted before it gets published as I refine it. Sex Y/N? Yes. I heard the feedback, 90% wanted it explicit. You all will get the "full" experience. Will I dump all of book 2 here? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. At a minimum, it'll be up to the 75% mark as we collect feedback, much like what I did with book 1. It really depends on how good the feedback is and how nice people are. Lots of support + meaningful feedback to make it better = higher likelihood you get all the book. Will be it up here indefinitely? No, it'll probably go up on KU at some point, but I'll make sure there's enough time for a large readership to grab it here. Then we move to book 3 which already is around 60K words already. What about other adventures in the same universe/characters? Yep. Absolutely. Nothing ready to share yet though. I plan to keep those side chapters and more slice of life stories as RR exclusive. Since I'm carving this off in book-sized segments, I'll have to figure out where those disconnected story arcs belong. I'm open to suggestions.

Three Hundred Years After The End Of The World
Three hundred years after the end of the world as humanity knew it, the gears of an old plan slowly begin to move again, as a group of self-imposed reincarnators, along with their equally unlikely companions, gather once again to set things right... but does the world they plan to restore need, or even want, their help? Follow the misadventures of an eclectic bunch of genius misfits as they attempt to assemble and fix the world they accidentally devastated in the past. ~~~ Author's note: This is actually the first volume of a novel I wrote nearly a decade ago for the VNDB discussion boards, taking inspiration from the random off-topic ramblings that characterized the golden age of the community. After sevear years and countless rewrites, it is pretty much unrecognizable, but while it is not fit for professional publishing (due to the fact that several fragments and older versions are still out there on various forums and blogs), I decided it is a waste to just let it sit idly on my hard drive forever. As such, I decided to share it somewhere where people could maybe appreciate it, so here it is.
