She was right, wasn't she? Eventually, they would... but the answer to when was never clear. Some of the trainees weren't used to their current transformation and some were excelling more than others. Here, Elena and Clare weren't so much, but perhaps if they pushed themselves just a little more...

"Ow," It broke the silence, Elena peered up from the ground where Clare was sitting. It was flat, monotone, and almost an after thought. Delayed, as it were, Clare still remembering how much she swung the large sword with one hand and with the sword pulling back, so did her arm. It was rather painful, to say the least, and she watched many girls wincing and murmuring about it. Elena, amongst them, trying to coax Clare back, as usual.

"Are you okay?" It was said with light amusement, as Elena crawled over and sat next to Clare against the wall, leaning in to study her face.

She didn't budge for a few minutes, stood silent, and folded her hands on her knee, "I'm fine. It just hurt... quite a bit."

"Of course it did, you threw your arm out, didn't I tell you that was going to happen?"

"Yes." A resounding silence followed Clare's blank admission. She stared down at her palm, flexing her fingers. Elena hadn't budged at all, lightly leaning against Clare's right shoulder, as they both listened to the sound of their fellows whisper to each other. The lights were out and it generally meant rest. Though no one could rest.

No one could easily slip back into sleep, not anymore. Everyone had their own story, everyone had something in common. Losing a loved one to yoma, after all. That was something that wasn't going to leave their young minds soon. Fixation of the sorts. Yet Clare didn't find complete solace in that. She still remembered her "keeper", Rubel, saying that had they used a normal yoma and not Teresa's flesh and blood, she could have been stronger.

She'd still insisted it was fine. Her will power still kept her here. If she fallen during training or was kicked around, she'd pick herself back up. Elena, of course, would still be helping her along the way.

"Is it true, Clare?"

She shifted slightly, allowing half of glance to Elena, who had her chin resting on her shoulder. Maybe that was a little uncomfortable... Clare slowly blinked in response.

"They said you took the flesh of a warrior... is it true?"

Ever so gently, Clare pulled herself forward, standing away from the bed, nervously pacing about the room, and back to Elena.

Of course she wasn't going to answer that, "We should sleep. I want to be at full stature for tomorrow; they're going to let me really have it after today..."

Elena simply stared, opening her mouth to say something, but the words never came. She shifted along the wall, to straighten her back. By her left, she patted the bed softly, "Alright. You're right, Clare, let's get some sleep. Evelyn won't leave you alone, either." She smiled at Clare and Clare gave her own version of a smile -- a twitch of her lips. Slowly, she crawled back up, letting her back rest against Elena's.

They couldn't sleep on their backs, it wasn't comfortable enough. But sleeping against each other helped the pain pass.

PENDING: second sample

Can we have a first person sample more in the form of a journal entry, please?

Lol, sure!

[This is completely unintentional, this video feed. But here are two girls, not more than twelve years old. Both silvered-eyed and pale blondes... could they be sisters? Maybe. But the shorter one holding her right shoulder along with a bloody bruise may look a little disgruntled, if you squint hard enough. When she speaks, you can say it's to the community, but it's more so to her friend. But you'll let her know that, won't you?]

If they didn't want us using the claymores, then maybe they shouldn't leave them in the training room. I don't understand what their issue is... we'll use them eventually, won't we? I thought they wanted us to get stronger, not rely on the smaller training swords.

Most of us will fail the last training exercise, anyway. Not all of us are going to be promoted to the Organization's numbers to be soldiers.
