Thalia's POV
I stare at Kade in confusion, wondering what kind of game he's playing, because I want absolutely no part of his mind games.
He's serious, I can see it on his face.
This isn't a game. He is actually training me.
Why the hell is he training me when he just forbade me from training with Cassian two days ago?
I scoff, unwilling to engage with him and his delusions of grandeur.
He can't tell me one thing and then do another thing just because he feels like it.
And as I finally catch my breath, I stare him down, wondering if he was expecting me to jump up with applause just because he wants to be the one to train me.
"I'm not doing this shit." I say to him as I throw the wooden sword to the side and start walking out of the ring.
The moment I take my first step, I hear another step, but this one is rushed.
It's immediately followed by another, and just as I look to my side from my peripheral view, I see Kade charging at me without warning.
