1 started with the smaller weights. | sat on the bench and grabbed a 30-pound dumbbell. After a few sets, |
grabbed an even bigger size and started another set. Looking around me, | saw a ton of jacked men and a few
jacked women working out their arms with giant weights that were bigger than my body.

“You competing?” A voice asked from another bench nearby. It was a woman, and she was adding giant weights,
getting ready to do sbench work. She glanced in my direction, waiting for my response.
Realizing she was talking to me, | nodded.
“Uh, yeah,” | told her.
“What pack you from?”
“Redmoon,” | replied.
She nodded, her eyes scanninglike she was sizingup.
“Cspot for me,” she demanded. | was taken aback by the forcefulness in her tone; she wasn’t givinga
choice, that was a fact. | wanted to tell her that | could barely stand, let alone spot her. But | didn’t want to see
weak; | would just have to fight through the pain.
| stood, trying not to look as though | was in a crazy amount of pain, and scurried over ot her. | didn’t want to
hobble because then she would know.
| stood behind her, reaching out to grab the weights if necessary.

than she intended and | heard her gasp. | had always been a quick responder when it cto things like this;
the second | realized she wasn’t in control and weights were slamming down on her, | grabbed the weights and
stopped them from crushing her seconds before they actually did.
By doing so, | heard my ankle snapping and pain shoot up my leg once again, nearly paralyzing me. Tears stung
my eyes, and | quickly linked them away as | placed the weight back on the hook.

Tabby sat up, her hand on her chest as she panted.
“You're pretty good,” she said. “Thanks.”
I nodded, biting my lower lip until | tasted blood.
“Yeah, no worries,” | squeaked out. “I need to run. I'll see you later. It was nice meeting you.”
| started to hobble away; each step was more painful than the last. | couldn't imagine how much damage I did to
my ankle and now | fear | might not be able to complete it because of it.
| started towards the exit, but then I felt a warm coat draping over my shoulders and before | knew what was
happening, | was airborne.
