Survivor of a Twisted Fate 2

Training Day

It had been over a month since Joseph, Damian, and Mandy were pulled from school. The night of the prom, when their friends waited for them, they were put on a ship and sent off to Leonard's training camp.

Leonard had the facility in Guatemala rebuilt into a training center for his werewolf army. The facility was now remodeled into an indoor training center and sleeping quarters for the trainees. Leonard spared no expense when it came to providing the best for his army.

He had a private chef to prepare their food, and he used a small amount of the mind-altering serum, to keep their adrenaline and anger pumping. The sleeping quarters were four trainees to a room. There was a small kitchen, bathroom and living room to share, and they each had their own rooms.

Joseph, Damian, and Mandy thought it looked like a place to take a vacation, then a training camp for an army. There was a weight room, an indoor pool, and an outdoor pool. There was a hot tub as well. Joseph, Damian, and Mandy had been put together in their own little dorm room. Leonard's idea. They didn't mind, they would rather have it this way than be separated from each other.

Besides, they never caused problems like the other trainees. Many had to be switched around because they didn't get along with their roommates. Once, by mistake, the guards put another trainee in with Joseph, Damian and Mandy, and things didn't go well.

Leonard had told the guards that they were the only three to be in that room, because they were the original firstborn purebreds. Well, the trainee that was put in their room attacked Mandy immediately as he walked in, the guard was fired, and they never had to worry about a roommate again.

Mandy was now very muscular and strong. She was mean to everyone now and had an attitude. She really didn't have a choice in the world she lived in. It was a fight or get fought type of world for her, now. Once it got around Haven and the training camp that her mother was the one who snitched, she had been bullied by the other trainees. She became mean to everyone except her cousins. She wasn't her mother, and she wasn't responsible for what her mother did.

Some other trainees had picked fights with her, leaving her to physically battle the bullies. She made it clear after she had pulverized the first bully that she despised her mother for what she did. Her mother was to blame for messing up the life she had built outside the werewolf community. Mandy believed her mother was jealous of her.

However, Mandy blamed not only her mother, she had it out for Leonard as well. That ugly beast was at the top of her list. The anger and the hate drove her to train hard. She dreamed of the day she would choke the life out of that monster.

Joseph had really buffed up, and he gained the ability to fly. He wondered when Mandy and Damian would get the ability he had just discovered. Damian had also buffed up, and he was still his arrogant self.

Joseph, Damian, and Mandy were outside on the track that outlined the outside training grounds. They jogged along the fence line. It was a cool evening. Joseph nonchalantly brought up a dream he had about Jasmine the night before, and it led to them reminiscing about their friends back home.

"Do you think we will ever see them again?" asked Mandy ,curiously, and Joseph growled angrily.

"I am. I don't care what anyone has to say. I am seeing Jassy!" Joseph snarled.

Suddenly, Mandy felt raindrops as they fell from the evening sky. Mandy looked up and felt the raindrops on her face and she smiled. She really loved the rain and how peaceful it made her feel. Damian wasn't very talkative. He stayed quiet during most conversations about their friends. He missed Chelsea so much. His brother was right about one thing. No matter what anyone said, they were going to see their friends.

Andrew and Cara wrote to their boys every week. The last letter they had received had told them they would all be coming home at the end of summer. Even the school had let them graduate and mailed the diplomas to their houses.

The principal sent a letter with each diploma. The letter stated that since there were only two weeks of school left, and their testing and projects were completed and turned in, they could graduate. They had excellent grades, so they had passed all of their classes. They made their last loop around the track, headed for the mailroom, and they picked up their mail and headed to their dorm room apartment.

Joseph tossed the letter to Mandy. Her aunt would always include a special letter just for her. She and her aunt were very close, and they seemed to understand each other. Some days, Mandy wished her Aunt Cara were her mother. She was the perfect substitute for her real mother. Mandy grabbed the separate folded sheet of paper from the envelope and smiled. She opened the letter, and she saw that her uncle Andrew had even written her a short little paragraph.

The letters started when Mandy had wanted to write to her aunt and uncle when they first got to camp. She wanted to feel some sort of love from home. Ever since that first letter, it had become their thing. That was really the only time the boys saw her at her happiest, when she got a letter from their parents.

Once Mandy got a letter from her father, and it was more of a lecture than a letter. He told her how disappointed he was in her for turning her back against her own mother. No matter what her mother had done, she was still family. She was blood.

After Mandy had read the letter, she had rolled her eyes and scoffed as she balled the letter up in her hands. She tossed it into the trash and walked to the mailroom. She refused to receive any letters or calls from her mother and father, because she really didn't care anymore. They could keep their negativity to themselves.

"Look guys, we graduated. Whoo hoo! Welcome to our graduation party!" scoffed Joseph, as he unlaced his boots.

They were in their shared living room. It was small and quaint. A couch and a love seat against the far wall, and a TV and entertainment center on the opposite wall. A small coffee table sat in front of the couch, and there were paintings of flowers on the light blue walls. Mandy set her letter on the coffee table and looked at Damian. He had a sad look on his face as he stared at the floor.

"So, home by the summer. Well, that will give Chelsea plenty of time to get over me,” said Damian, as he sighed sadly, and Mandy and Joseph looked at him with concern.

He looked up at them.

"What? I'm not getting my hopes up! But if I do see that girl again, I am never letting anyone come in between us again!" he said, sternly.

Mandy smiled at her cousin. She knew he could be a cold-hearted, arrogant asshole at times, but Chelsea was the one that could calm that inner beast inside him. Sadly, she thought of Kevin, and she missed him so much that her heart ached. Mandy wondered if Jasmine, Kevin, and Chelsea had gone on their trip after all.

Even though we couldn't go, she thought to herself, sadly.

She really wanted to go. Mandy had never been out of Glee, other than Charton, her whole life, and she wanted to see the world. However, Leonard and her stupid mother had to interfere with her life, and the boys lives and split them up. She knew that's all this was. Leonard wanted to create distance between the two. Joseph, Damian and Mandy turned in for the night and had pleasant dreams about their friends.
