Oliver's POV
A month had passed since the last incident and after that, John and I became very close to each other, as Teacher suggested. I still did not reveal a lot to him but, I slowly started being less cautious around him and started opening up to him. I also told him Teacher calls me by my name in private, after asking from Teacher and my bloodlust had also decreased a lot.
I did my training properly, without missing a day and that helped me gain control over my body and my mind. I slept well, trained well and sometimes even ate well. I still only have one meal a day but that meal has been enough for me.
Teacher has been trying to help me overcome my trauma, right after realising about it but, it has not been going well. I, myself did not know how traumatised I was about that whip which was not even used on me at that time. Still I lost control over myself and let my fear take over me.
