Silence... Dead Silence, that's how it should be, so quiet I can hear the blood flowing through my veins. I was six moves away from having him in checkmate. The clock was ticking, which means his thinking was limited and he had to make a move. We were at it for 3 hours, I closed my eyes and  I felt as though I was in the middle of nowhere but sitting in a field on some green grass where the sky is beautiful and the wind is a song for the stressed, this is what I live for.
Peace...

"AHHHHHHHHHHH, YOU SPRAYED THAT IN MY EYE YOU IDIOT"

   I opened my eyes and sighed heavily. It was nice while it lasted.
" I think we should stop for today huh" Dae Young said putting up the pieces seeing as I broke concentration
"I guessed" I said irritatedly
" I think your getting better, I think you found your calming place or a place you feel peace cause you would've already killed those two"
I thought about that place and how I wish I could just go there and be at peace but does a place like that really exist or is it only a place your mind would like to be because the world is to loud and full of violence. That place is where I would like to live and spend everyday even if I have to live there alone. At least I'll be in peace... right? I was so deep in thought I didn't realize that Dae Young left and got us some tea.
"So how is your training coming?" he ask sipping on his tea, I sipped mine and replied
" It's been coming along great but I've been watching Soo Young train with herself and others and she's great but she uses the same moves all the time but her opponents wouldn't notice because she uses them in different order which is kind of impressive"
"I see you watch her closely, it's true she is good but everyone is worried about you because no one knows your fighting style"
"That's how it should be, never give the enemy an advantage" I said sipping the remainder of my tea.
He nodded his head and ask
"How do you feel about the match?"
"I will try to hold back and suppress my anger because I feel that if I don't I could end up hurting someone" I said looking at the floor remembering  the past

I sat outside the principle's office, holding my bloody fist my in other hand. I didn't do it on purpose...I told myself every second, I didn't mean to do it. I was 14, I let my anger get the best of me. This is why I was silent. This is why I never talked. This is why I always keep to myself. I'm so sorry, mom came out of the office, looking down at me. I got up from my seat and the first words I said
" I didn't do it on purpose"

"I didn't do it on purpose" I said
"You didn't do what on purpose?" I looked up and saw Dae Young and instantly snapped back into reality
"Oh nothing, never mind"
"So tell me about your PP"
"PP?" I asked confused and amused
"Peace Place" He said like anyone was supposed to know that.
"Ohhh, it's just a very quiet place where your only friend is the wind and the sky"
"Oh that's cute. Is that peace place so quiet because you've had noise all your life?" He questioned. Umm I never thought of it like that, is it the real reason?
"I don't know but fun fact in my quiet place I'm wearing a hanbok, a pretty one" I said smiling
"Well in mine I'm wearing a Spider-Man suit and dating Kim Ji-won" he said mumbling and sipping the remainder of his tea
"What" I said while laughing

We both grew silent until we both decided that we were hungry so we left the tiny looking shrine...like no for real it looks like a shrine you'll see in Kamisama Kiss. Ohh it reminds me of the shrine thingy they use to travel. As we got to the lunch room everyone was doing the usual eating and running their mouths. I just kept thinking, will one day come that I will forget that place because if that place is anything like a dream I will be forgetting it soon.
"Heyyyyyy where have you been all day, one of the construction workers said to give this to you" the chef/cook, I just call her you know what never mind, she handed me this lunch box and when I opened the lid... It was magnificent, the food, the color, the smell the only thing left to do is taste and I've seen this old man cook, he has the hands of a mother. I looked at Dae Young and offered but he declined so I enjoyed a night of delicious food and noisy friends.
    I was in my room at my table writing down the quiet place, the place I discovered recently making sure I get every imagery possible of that place onto the paper. I read it over to make sure it was the place and it was the place. The rain started to pour and for a good couple of minutes I sat and watch the rain, I felt at ease. I decided to head in early since tomorrow's the big showdown or whatever and I wouldn't want to be late.

Puff who am I kidding I could go to sleep at 6:00 and I'd still over sleep. I got into my bed, snuggled up under the thick sheets, cuddled up with Zoom-Zoom (my teddy bear), the rain was falling, I couldn't ask for anything better and for the first time in the past 3 years this would have to be the best night I will sleep so I closed my eyes and began to search for sleep,
then I realized...

I FORGOT TO TURN OFF THE LIGHT.

I hope everyone enjoys this update and if this chapter seems a little weird it's because while I was writing it I was listening to some calming music which helped me set the mood for the character and I actually like this chapter, it's probably my favorite so far. Anyways like I said before I hope you enjoy it and I'm in the process of writing chapter 6 so hopefully I get it done by today or tomorrow and don't forget to
