Chapter Fourteen

“You’ve got to come back to training.” Kelton scowled. He’d had enough of this.

“I’ve been training.” Caleb countered.

“He has. He’s been helping me, too.” Rees piped up. They’d been going down to the gym after everyone else had finished. It wasn’t the same and there was still an unfulfilled urge within them, but they were doing the best they could.

Kelton shook his head. “You need to train with the others.” He’d let the boys’ wallow for a couple of days, knowing that they needed to adjust to their new situation, but the time had come to step back up. The longer this went on, the harder they’d find it to come back. They had to bite the bullet.

“We’re doing just fine.”

“Training is not a solitary activity. You need to work with the others. It’s about team work.”

The boys’ stayed quiet. Rees looked awkward and Caleb looked angry.

“Look, it’s done. You need to get on with it. There’s no point in hiding out.”

“We’re not hiding.” Caleb snapped.

“Remember who you’re talking to.” Kelton knew that they were having a hard time of it, but he wouldn’t allow disrespect. “You’re back to training. Now.” He wasn’t going to take no for an answer. He’d come up here when he’d been informed that they’d not turned up for yet another training day.

When they made no move to get ready, Kelton started to get angry. “That wasn’t a request. It was an order.”

Caleb jumped off the chair and slammed his way into the bathroom, banging the door. Kelton turned to Rees. “What’s going on?”

Rees didn’t look like he wanted to talk, but he liked it there at the academy and wanted their future to work out. They’d lost so much and they had to work at what they had left. “He doesn’t want to be with the others.”

“Why?”

“He thinks they blame us.”

“For what?”

“Master Warrior Dixon’s death.”

Kelton closed his eyes. “That’s ridiculous.” He knew they were feeling that way and getting them back to training would be a way to help them get over it. They’d see that the others didn’t blame them and it would be good for them to see their friends.

Rees didn’t reply.

Kelton banged on the bathroom door. “Get out. Now.”

Caleb didn’t respond at first, but after a few moments, the door unlocked and he came out, looking angrier than ever. “You don’t understand.”

“I think I understand more than you think.” Kelton softened his voice. “This wasn’t your fault. No one thinks it’s your fault.”

“I think it.”

Kelton knew that he was going to have to bring some professional help in to speak to the boy. He could deal with the physical training, but the boy had a lot going on in his head and they’d need help to get him to work through it.

“I can’t do it.”

“Try.”

Rees looked a little more eager than Caleb, but they both seemed hesitant.

“I wouldn’t let anyone say a word to you. You know that.”

They didn’t seem very reassured, but grabbed their kit bags. This would be the first time they had trained since the attack.
