2 weeks later

I get up from my bed in the manor. My own bed that I indeed missed very much. Me, Shay, and Liam returned about a week ago.

My leg is starting to feel better, and is healing nicely. I get up and I put on my assassin robes. My white shirt, black tight pants, my black boots, my blue coat, and my silver necklace.

I look in the mirror and I see my messy brown hair. I grab my brush and start brushing my hair until all the messy curls become tamed. I decide to put my hair in a side braid in a blue ribbon. I smile and I walk out of my room. I run outside eager to start my training. I run to the training area and meet Hope, Liam, and Shay.

I start to get out of breath quick. Once I get the the group I stop and start panting. Liam laughs.

"You already getting tired there, Kathryn?" Liam mockingly says to me. I sarcastically laugh.

"You try, basically lying in a bed for two weeks straight, with a serious injuries, and let's see how you feel," I say to Liam and he puts his hands up in surrender, "Besides I feel out of shape, it's not fun," Hope looks at me.

"Speaking of your injury, what kind of shark bit you?" Hope asks me.

"Oh, ummm, I think it was either a small Greenland or a small Great White," I say. Hope nods.

"I'm surprised that you didn't loose your leg," Hope says, "I guess you got luckily, VERY lucky,"

Shay frowns and wraps one of his arms protectively around my waist. Ever since I was hurt Shay has become more protective of me. Hardly letting me do anything fun. He says that I could get hurt again. I mean it is really sweet that he cares that much about me, but sometimes I just really want to grab his neck and start squeezing.

I get a bright idea in my head.

"Liam, what do you say that we practice my fighting skills?" I ask him. Liam nods.

"You and me?" Liam asks me. I nod. Shay grabs my arm.

"What do you think your doing?" Shay asks me, his tone indicated that he is very agitated. I look at him.

"I want to practice my fighting skills," I plainly tell him.

"I know that, but I would rather you practice with Hope," Shay says. I scoff.

"You don't think I can handle Liam, don't you?" I say a little hurt.

"It's not that it's just......" Shay starts to say but I interrupt him.

"Don't Shay, I'm not just some fragile doll, that you always keep on the shelf so it won't break," I glare at him, and I pull my arm out of his hand.

I proceed to take off my coat and my over shirt. Revealing myself in my under shirt and corset. Liam takes off his coat and shirt off leaving him bare chested. Liam smirks.

"I'll go easy on you," Liam says mockingly. I roll my eyes.

"Don't," I say. Then we fight.

Liam tries to throw the first punch, but I quickly dodge it. I punch him in the side, and he grunts. I kick his back and he falls to the ground, but he quickly gets back up. He kicks me to the ground, I get up and Liam grabs my arm and he punched me in the stomach. I wince in pain. I quickly knee him in the face, and I kick his head SO hard that I think I knocked him out.

Hope and Shay looked shocked. I smirk.

"Well that wasn't really much of a challenge," I say. Shay shakes his head.

"Well I feel better knowing that my woman, can kick my arse at any moment," Shay says sarcastically. I laugh.

I can never stay mad at him.
