1She gritted her teeth, to try and make the pain subside. Her anger boiling, she tried not to show it. She must have failed because the six white coated men all started to laugh.

"What's wrong sweetheart," said one of the government employee's, "is the little girl sad."

"NO stupid, I'm pissed" she said through her clenched teeth. He was making her even more furious. She was tied up in what seemed like a very large basement. Blindfolded, and tied up all stretched out, to where she could hardly move. These men were making her anger, very angry. She couldn't take it anymore; she lunged forward, fangs bared, thrusting her whole body towards their voices. She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't stop herself. Her self-control wasn't as good as she thought.

"I'm sorry Marius."

She and Marius are in a field surround on all four sides with trees and woods. It is midmorning in June, and the ground is solid. There are violet flowers all around, and the warm golden sun shining on their faces. She is making flower necklace, while Marius, the man who made her, and taught her everything he knew, was talking about how she mustn't get caught. Or the civilians would all go mad and rebel. She looked around but couldn't fid him. She began to panic slightly. She was hoping that he had just gone to the nearby town to get them both drinks. Shrugging, she went back to work on the flowers, humming shortly after. Consequently, she was caught off guard and hit hard by something. So hard in fact, it knocked her backward. Arms and legs went flying. She felt the weight of someone on top of her, squishing her lungs, so she could hardly breathe. Started and angry, she started fighting, keeping her eyes shut tightly. Lashing out and throwing her whole body into getting at least one arm free, so she could throw a punch. Viciously thrashing about, trying to get this man…..this thing off her. However she couldn't because he was too strong.

She didn't understand. She had become much stronger, not only from her abilities, but also from her training with Marius. She agonizingly managed to get a leg free. He was now straddling her, getting ready to hit her. She could feel it. Knowing that she was about to be hit, she open her eyes and tried to get her free leg up on his chest, so she could kick him off. But when she opened her eyes, she saw her attacker as she looked up to see the laughing man.

He was a middle aged male, but her assumption was right, he was not human. He was a big dull blue guy resembling a human man, but it was obvious he wasn't. His bright yellow eyes were narrowed, like a tiger's when it's about to devour its prey. His clothes were ripped and way too small for him. His lips and hair were a pale green color, and he had horns that resembled those of a bull. He was about 6'5" and he had the teeth of a canine. He was a carnivore that was for sure. She saw something in the corner of her eye, and then she saw a blur, as something tackled the intimidating blue thing. They were wrestling around, she knew who it was. She would recognize that emerald green cloak anywhere; after all she was the one who had bought it for Marius on his 10,965 birthday.

The two guys were tumbling around in the tall grass. Marius punched the guy who had attacked her. He then managed to get n top of him, and pin him down. Marius then called her over. When she cautionishly walked over, he told her that the man who attacked her was a bushney, and that you can kill them like killing a human, "but their blood tastes nasty," Marius had told her. At this the bushney started thrashing around once more, unwilling to believe that he had attacked a vampire's meal. "So you're the vampires food?" asked the bushney "no, I'm not," she said a bit snobby. Marius laughed "no, no she's not…not now…" then Marius smiled, "but she was." The bushney looked at her "you're a vampire" he asked "yes I am, and you attacked me," she said, brushing some dirt off her clothes. At this Marius had grabbed the bushney and twisted his head completely off the body.

After they had left the field, and were wondering around in the woods, Marius had told her about the treaty vampire's and bushney's strength, and the vampire's will to kill. She looked at Marius admiringly "how did you over power him," she asked, "He was SO strong." Marius got a very serious look on his face as he said, "I over powered him by having something to overpower him for." Pondering Marius's words, she fell silent, that is until they stopped at a stream to rest. Marius looked at her and said, "It's time, I showed you, not only how to fight, but also how to strategize." She looked at him wide eye, "what made you decide this all the sudden?" Marius got a very stern look on his face and said, "never mind that, let's just get started, shall we?"

Marius sat on a log and motioned for her to come sit next to him. She walked over and being the clumsy klutz she is, she tripped over a stick, and fell. But before she hit the ground, Marius swooped down and caught her.

She sat down with a plop. She looked at Marius and saw his expression. Marius, an important member of the Kingfin Counsel, one of the most powerful, perhaps even the most powerful vampire ever, someone who had everything going for him. Fame, Power, the looks of a god, and every women vampire or not, wanting him to be their mate, the vampire who has all this and more, but looking at him now, she could see sorrow in his soft brown eyes as he looked down at the ground. As she watched him staring down at the leaf covered ground, she wondered why he was so sad.

"What's wrong," she asked him, tucking a lock of his long straight blonde hair, back behind his ear.

"Nothing," he said, "let's just get started," he moved to get up, but she grabbed his shirt and made him sit again. "No, tell me," she said in a way she was positive he'd tell her. He looked into her deep, blue eyes, and said, "Are you alright?"

"Of course I am," she said wanting to know what was bothering her mentor, "Thanks to you, that is, you saved me." He looked down, not wanting to hear about his heroic act. "Are you sure your' okay?" he had asked her, forcing her to look into his sexes. "Yes, I'm fine," she had told him. She saw that he was worried, him Marius. "Umm, thank you," he looked up, and stared into her eyes again, paralyzing her. They sat there staring in each others eyes, neither one of them wanting to let go of their connection. They sat there for what seemed like an eternity until she stood up while saying, "Okay master, teach me."

"Alright, the first thing you need to know is, fight only when you have too, and only when you need to," he said briskly. "What is that suppose to mean," she asked dumbfounded, with out even allowing Marius to finish his sentence. Marius had given her a stern look. "I'm sorry," she said looking down at the ground, in such a way Marius started to laugh. "It's okay," he said attempting to stifle his sudden outbreak. "What I meant was," he said trying to get to the point, while still forcing laughs back, "that you should only fight when it's absolutely necessary, and only when you have a good chance of winning."

"Why, I mean I get the last part……kinda, but why can't I go and fight someone I know will lose to me," she asked curiously. Marius laughed "because if an animal is injured or harmed in any way, that will affect how they hunt, and mostly it will affect them poorly. They might not be able to hunt, or even defend itself from a foe. We are the same as those animals, we have to be able to take care of our selves and if we don't, we will die either of starvation or to something stronger than us. That makes the animal –or us- easy pray." "Okay, I got it," she said, still a little confused," replaying it in her head, "by something stronger what could take us down" (obviously forgetting about the ordeal that just took place that earlier that morning), aren't we invincible" at this Marius exploded with laughter, and couldn't even stop laughing to tell her why that was such a funny question. It took almost two minutes of her stern face, for Marius to stop his hysterical laughing and to talk to her. "what's so funny," she asked demandingly" "nothing," he said between snickers, "it's just no one's invincible, no one and nothing can escape death forever. There's always something bigger and stronger to take it down, it's a continuous circle, it goes on and on and never has an end to it." She took a few moments, trying to interpret, her masters first lesson of knowledge. "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh," she said, finally understanding Marius' words. "I get it now," she said exploding with excitement. "Okay, next lesson" she asked. Marius just laughed, "well it's not like I have a lesson plan in mind or anything.", after a few moments of her pouting, "well, do you have anything that interests you, perhaps something you would like to do, or you don't want done to you." "Ohhhh yes." she said hoping Marius would allow her to elaborate……… "Well what is it," Marius asked, absorbing her excitement. "What about torture?" "Well, what about it," "what do you do if you're being tortured or harassed. You're always talking about vengeful relatives that might come and attack me, so what do I do if I get caught?" "Well," Marius said pondering, "the first thing to remember is this! If someone's trying to make you pay for anything, don't let them succeed, don't let them win, if the want you to scream, don't if the want you to cry, don't, if they want to watch you suffer, make DAMN sure they don't see a droplet of your suffering. Don't let them see any of your pain, or hurt. Don't even let them see you losing it. Don't even attack them." "But why not, I mean if I'm upset or pissed off, I'm going to want to…." She slows down, "ohhhh, I get it now, if I attack tem, they'll know they're getting to me." "Exactly," Marius exclaims.
