Diana

"Alex; your child is alive, she's not dead, so don't give up. You will be meeting her soon." Alex's mother said, as she caresses Alex's sleeping face.

The family were excited to hear the news about Diana and had been taking turns on making Alex realize that fact.

They weren't so surprised when the doctor informed them that he's doing much better than before. They knew Alex to be a strong headed being. When they only informed him about his child being alive, he didn't flinch, probably because he knew they could be lying to make him wake up when he seemed to have given up his will to live, but showed some improvement when they added the fact that he will be meeting her.

…..

Diana has been doing well in her training, her body is becoming accustomed to everything, and she rarely grumbled.

She now finds it fun and meeting up with Aroma's expectations, making her soften her expression with her.

Surprisingly, she felt light and somehow felt different. Her oversleeping has reduced as well. She was beginning to like everything, and find it not so bad. Her progress within a week shocked her roommate, they couldn't believe she has started escaping the over sleeping punishment within a week. They couldn't wait for her combat training to start and have duels.

One thing baffled Diana though. She recalled eating in the cafeteria with the rest two days ago and suddenly a tall dude, who turns out to be her fifth roommate came in with one ear missing, and then.

"Wow! you lost one ear." Fatty said, while the other trainees bursted into laughter like it's a normal thing.

"Duh! you guys are gonna see my achievement in a few minutes" the guy replied to them, and came to sit with Diana and the others.

He asked her name and introduced himself as Zika, he didn't seem bothered by his lost ear at all, instead they were all eating quickly while checking the wall clock.

All of a sudden, "it's time," he said and stood up, while the others did the same. "Come quickly." Beast said to Diana, as she seems to not want to stand up and followed them.

Out of curiosity, Diana decided to follow them and find out what made them all excited like this. She was stunned when they arrived at wide single room, a little bit far from their quarters. There are lots of televisions on the walls.

They all stood patiently, staring at the screen, until it displays a news about an assassination of a man Diana recognized to have made her clenched her teeth, cursed, got pissed and all, when she heard news about his immoral act on news, yet he seems to be above the law. No matter what he did, he always manages to escape the laws grip.

She was happy he's finally dead, but then she saw the familiar figure of Zika on the screen as the assassin, his face isn't visible but it's the exact stature. She looked toward him among the rest and looked back at the screen.

"See that?" Zika boasted and the others began to praise him, talking about how he's gonna leave them and become a Senior soon. Also about how many missions left for him before he meets up with the seniors level.

Diana couldn't help but wonder if the so called mission they've been telling her about involved killing as well.

-back at the present-

Diana was running on the treadmill at a fast speed, when "boss, you're back." she heard Aroma said.

"How is this human doing?"  Nathan's voice was heard, which made Diana tried to look back lost her balance.

She knew he was not too far from her, but was surprised by how fast he caught her, even before Aroma who was close to her could react.

"Pretty impressive." Aroma replied, as Nathan helped her regain her footing on the mill, instead of letting her take a break from almost falling down. She gritted her teeth and pouted her already pouty lips as she kept on running.

She heard Aroma feeding him in on the details of her training and couldn't help but feel proud of herself. Even though she knew it was because she's used to this type of training beforehand that made everything quite easy for her; she still couldn't help but feel good for being praised.

Nathan stood at a side and inspect her training without breathing a word, nor helped her out as Aroma as usual, increased everything. She felt like collapsing after but yes! she's able to endure well now.

After she's done, Nathan instructed her to go clean herself and come find him in his room. She did as she was told: taking a quick shower and putting on a casual wears, which consist of a black stretchy pant trousers and a white cropped top. Her hair which is growing longer, not caring about everything her carrier is going through was tied in a ponytail, the tip reaching below her bum.

She knocked at his door. "Come in." She heard him said and walked in.

Aroma, who was also in the room excused herself and left them alone. "Come sit here." Nathan gesture for her to come sit beside him.

She obeyed and was now sitting beside him on the couch. Nathan wanted to talk and caught her opened her mouth, about to say something and allowed her.

"Thank you about that day. I heard you brought me back and made sure I was nurtured to health, and also asked Aroma to take care of my training herself. I'm very grateful." Diana said, looking at him with a grateful expression.

Nathan scoffed mockingly, "I guess you're really grateful, cuz Aroma seem pleased with your progress." Nathan said.

Diana rolled her eyes inwardly. She wondered if he could talk without a hint of mockery in his tone for once. Even when he's serious, his tone made it seems like he isn't.

"Your father is alive," Nathan said, making Diana look up at him, with her eyes wide opened, her heart racing really fast. "He's alive?" she asked to confirm.

"I arranged for you to meet with him and his family tomorrow." Nathan said.

Diana didn't know where the confidence came from. She excitedly jumped forward and wanted to hug him, but before she could succeed with the attempt; Nathan held her forehead to keep her still, "I wouldn't do that if I were you." He said with his killer smile that could make a woman forget to breathe.
