JAMES: Whats up little brother, we lost you.
Yeah, Lissa linked me.
Is she ok? Did anything happen to her? She is fine, she was letting me know that Kes was doing her training, and she thought that I wanted to watch.
Do you want to go watch? Naw.
Why not? I thought you were close to Kes.
I am, but I dont need to watch her doing her punishment, especially when it wasnt right or fair to begin with.
Im lost, why is Lissa there? Because she was always getting on my case about not being on Jesss side of things when shit hit the fan.
I could see that you two were being mean to Kes from the start, now I have got Lissa in a position to witness it firsthand rather than taking Jessies word for things all the time.
There are things that happened to Kes that you dont even know about, and dont ask me because she didnt say anything specific in front of me but ask Jessie, Im sure she will be more than happy to brag about what punishments Kes has had to go through because of you two.
I could see he was pretty upset, so I left it alone.
But I did link Jessie.
*Hey Jess.
Whats up? You never did tell me what happened in dads office that night that Kes told dad we broke Mr.
Rickmans window.
Oh, well it was fun as all get out really, every time we got her into trouble, dad used his belt on her, and she even had to spend a week in the cells because of that broken window.* She giggles at me.
*Thanks for telling me.* I say and close the link.
I am appalled at what she just told me, and Liam was right, she was happy to brag about it.
I never thought about any of it growing up, Dad never did come back and punish us, unless he actually caught us doing something or one of the teachers told him we had done something wrong.
But it was always a grounding or loss of privileges never the belt.
*Whats up James you look like you just seen a ghost or something.* Wyatt linked me.
*Man, I have fucked up big time and I think dad did even worse.
What are you talking about.
Well, I have just put somethings together, and I wouldnt blame Kes if she never talked to me again.

Dude, you have me so confused right now.
Sorry, but you remember all the times I would brag to you that we blamed Kes for shit we did, and we never got in trouble for it? Yeah, we used to laugh about it.
Well, every time dad took his belt to Kes, and when we broke Mr.
Rickmans window last year, not only did she have to work for two months to pay for it but spent a week in the cells because of it.
I dont get it why didnt she tell him it wasnt her? I have a feeling he wouldnt have listened to her, and he also probably didnt ask her.
Oh man that is messed up.
Yes, and now I know why she has been calling him father for the last few years instead of dad, she sees him as a sperm doner and not her dad.
Ouch, do you think he has figured that out yet? Maybe in some small part, but I dont know if it will change, after all its Kes, and she looks and acts nothing like the rest of us so its easy to ignore and forget about her.* KESKA: Day 2 down, and Im not sure if its a 5-day week he meant or a 7-day week I will have to get clarification.
*Father, are you busy? Not at the moment.
Am I training for 5 days or 7?* (I dont believe I did clarify that so this would be an out for both of us.) *5 Ok, will you let Mitchell know please.
Yes, I will do that right now, so I dont forget.
Thank you.* So, 3 more to go.
I link Macie.
*Are you busy? No, board, but not busy.
Want to go to Nanas to run the course? Sure, Im down for that, but arent you tired? A little but I dont have anything to do until its time to start dinner so might as well keep up with the obstacle course.
Ok, meet you there.
Meet you there.
I then link Nana.
Nana, I hope its ok if Mackie come run the obstacle course? Yes of course dear, I will have Stephen put the target back up for you.
Thank you, Nana.* I close the link.
I freshen up, taking a wet cloth to my face neck and arms, then head out to go to Nanas.
DRAKE: I link Mitchell.
*Kes will only be with the group for 5 days.
Ok Alpha, I will keep track.* I close the link.
(Do you think we will ever get back to where we were with her Helios? I asked my wolf.) (You will have to stop taking Jessies word for everything, especially if it concerns Keska.
He tells me.) JAMES: We have to go talk to Mr.
Rickman, to set up the time we will be working for him.
I tell Wyatt.
Lets go and get it over with then.
Well be back in a bit Liam.
Take your time, I am going to see if Kes is done yet.
I just nod my head at him and Wyatt, and I leave.
LIAM: *Kes? Yes Liam Are you done with training? Yes, were at Nanas.
Can I come to? Yes, you know you dont have to ask me, its Nanas house not mine.
Yeah, but its a better chance of her saying yes if youre there already.
Youre a nut.
Yeah, but you love me.
Yeah, youre right I do.
* KESKA: the next 2 days follow in the previous 2 days footsteps.
Including the harassment by Jessie.
I dont let her get to me though.
And by the 5th day I am starting to hold my own on offense, feign to get your opponent to commit.
Landing solid punches.
Working with the different warriors to get a feel for how they work.
Its the last day of my punishment training, and no Jessie, I link Lissa.
*Where is Jessie? She said she needs to pack for the trip to High Crest and Dutch Wood Packs.* She links back to me.
Finaly a day of peace without Jessies constant harassment.
We made it through the first set of offense/defense when someone shouted rouges north border, the whole training field evacuated and headed to the north.
Frank told me to get Lissa and get to the safe room.
I linked Lissa.
*Run to the pack house now! I will be right behind you.* But I didnt make it three feet when I was grabbed from behind with a hand over my mouth and stabbed, I felt the blade go into my Right thigh, then I was picked up by the throat.
I didnt flail like most people would, instead I folded in at the waist and bent my knees, then with all my strength I kicked out at the person holding me, and caught him in the chest, and then I felt the knife go into my side, I grabbed a hold of it and threw myself towards the person holding the blade catching them off guard and they let go of the blade.
I fell to the ground, and everything went
