Chapter 11 Underground Training Room
Chapter 11 Underground Training Room
Luis woke up to a feeling of an arm wrapped around him, he enjoyed the feeling of the fingers over his chest until he opened he remembered who had mistakenly fallen asleep on his bed last night.
He opened his eyes to find Tammy curled up close to him with her arm over his body, he was startled and wanted to jump up from the bed but just looking at how peacefully she slept he decided to slowly crawl out of the bed.
Getting out of bed, Luis slowly made his way to the door, he didn't want Tammy to see him when she wakes up, he slowly opened the door and slid out but on closing the door he seemed to have slammed it a little bit.
Tammy yawned and stretched on the bed, she had been woken by the little slam on the door.
"Is it morning already?" she yawned while getting up on the bed, the expressions on her face quickly changed as she looked around the room.
"What am I doing here?" she said taking a glance around."Did I sleep here?" she said pulling the sheets to sniff them." I did sleep here" her eyes widened as she confirmed that her scent was on the bedsheet.
She slowly walked to the door as her heart began to pound now, just what will her parents do to her if they found out that she didn't sleep in her room but in Luis' room?
She put her ear on the door to check if there was anyone nearby when she was sure that there was no one close by she slowly opened the door and snuck out her head to double-check, she didn't see anybody and proceeded to her room which was just a little walk from Luis' while walking she was looking around to see if someone was watching her and wasn't really paying attention to where she was going and soon she tripped on something on the floor.
She was about to fall when a hand caught her, she turned her head upwards to find out that she was in the arms of Luis.
Luis had gone outside for a little while with the expectation that Tammy would be gone by the time he would go back to his room, he stayed there for a few minutes and decided to make his way upstairs, when he got upstairs he found Tammy walking towards his direction she wasn't paying attention to where she was going and didn't realize that there was a toy car right where she was about to put her next step.
She was about to step on it and it was certain that she would fall, Luis would very much like to see her fall flat on her face after all the pranks she had played on him lately but immediately she stepped on the toy and was falling Luis rushed towards her and caught her in his arms.
She looked up at him but didn't say anything.
"You are awake," he said.
She quickly pulled herself away from his hands and was on her feet now.
"Why didn't you tell me to leave?" he was surprised by how calmly she was talking to him now, ordinarily in situations like this, she would prefer to shout at him.
"I would have, but you were already fast asleep"
"And you didn't do anything stupid?" her threatening voice was back.
Luis was startled by her question but then he decided to answer it as calmly as he could to avoid raising any suspicions.
"Does it feel like I did?" a smirk slowly made its way to his face.
"You are crazy," Tammy said and quickly ran off to her room.
Luis turned to her and watched her enter her room and shut the door, a smile slowly curved upon his lips, why had he been so much afraid of her? even though she looked tough, acted tough, and could fight well she still had the characters of a little girl.
A few minutes later, Tammy matched out of her room looking like she was about to go fight an army of demons.
"Where are you going?" Luis was about to go down the stairs when he heard her door open and when she matched out he was stunned by what she was wearing, a white outfit which was meant for female warriors and a pair of black boots and gloves.
She was a warrior princess and that was made clear to him now.
She ignored his question and started to walk up the hallway, was he going to his room, Luis thought and followed her, he was surprised when she walked past his room and was still walking towards the wall that ended the hallway, just where was she going?
She soon came to a halt when she reached the wall and for some seconds Luis thought she was crazy but he found himself wrong when she placed her hand on the wall and a password machine appeared where she just put her hands.
She entered some codes and the part of the floor began to turn along with her, the next thing Luis knew she had gone down along with that part of the floor.
"What?" Luis quickly rushed to the area, the place was still open but looking down there it was completely dark, he wanted to jump down and go after Tammy but before he could do that, the missing part of the floor had come back and sealed the area.
Luis looked at the floor, you could tell he was confused with the way he was looking at it, what just happened? he thought, how did Tammy suddenly disappear into the ground? then something clicked in his head.
If Tammy had gone down there by standing on that part of the floor and pressing some keys, there was also a chance that he would go where she was if he did the same.
He slowly placed both of his feet on that part of the floor expecting the passcode machine to come forth but nothing happened, then he remembered that she had placed her hand on the wall before the password machine came out.
He slowly stretched his hand towards the wall he planned to touch the wall slowly but before his hands could get there, anxiety had gotten the better of him and he smashed his hand on the wall.
"Input the correct passcodes" he heard a monotone feminine voice speak as a small part of the wall opened up and the passcode machine came forward. He heaved a sigh of relief and tapped four random keys, he didn't even bother to think of what the password could be.
"I'm sorry but that is incorrect" the voice spoke.
He ignorantly pushed four random keys again and got the same response but this time it came with a warning.
"If you fail to input the correct passcode again, you will be ejected" sounded like one of Tammy's threats.
He didn't know what the voice meant by ejected but it didn't sound nice and he wasn't sure he wanted that to happen to him, he closed his eyes and tried to recall how Tammy had pushed those keys earlier, he could remember something that played in his head but he wasn't sure he was going to get it right, opening his eyes he looked directly at the passcode machine and started to press the keys he remembered Tammy press.
When he was done the machine started to blink a blue light, he was afraid of what was going to happen next and covered his face with his hands.
"Password correct" Luis couldn't believe what he was hearing, he wanted to jump up and rejoice but that was stopped as the floor started moving down with him at full speed, that was a new and scary experience for Luis as his screams of joy now turned to a little girl's scream.
"Do you hear something dad?" Tammy asked, she was with her dad in some kind of arena but everywhere was white.
"Yes like someone screaming," Greg said looking up.
Immediately Greg took his gaze up, Luis fell from the ceiling.
"What's he doing here now?" Tammy said.
"Focus on your training and we'll find out later," Greg said turning to the other side.
Tammy found it a little hard to turn her gaze away from Luis who was struggling to get up now, but she quickly turned to the other side at the sound of a monotone feminine voice just like the one at the passcode machine.

Greg turned to Tammy before turning back to the message that was being displayed on an invisible screen.
"Intense"
"Dad I'm not ready for this" Tammy protested.
"Well you should be," Greg said as the message disappeared in acceptance of his option.
