"Archery"
The arrow hit the board within a millisecond of hitting Erica as she swooped into the room. "How's training going, princess?" Erica said as she completely ignores the fact she almost got half of her face darted off. "You mean practice. Target practice." Allison replied matter of factly. "And, how many times have I told you not to address me as that ridiculous petname?" "Okay Shakespeare. I will stop insulting the." Erica using a midevil times accent. As if she were a jester, adressing the princess. Allison rolled her eyes at this. She did find it amusing but wouldn't let Erica know that. "What, you're not gonna ask me if I'm insane waltzing into your 'target practice' mid fire?" Erica said while sinking into the small love seat behind Allison. "Speaking of that. How did you get in here?" Allison gave her a confused look and Erica quirked her eyebrow and raised her hands. "Allison. It's me you're talking to. I could pick the lock of a maximum security safe." Allison smirked and shook her head.
Lifting her bow again, this time Erica was not in the way, she straightened herself and focused on the moving target at the back of the room. Erica observed from behind her. Watching every muscle contrast as Allison releases the string holding the arrow, sending it just beside the wooden target. Allison let her arms down in disapointment and sighed deeply. She thought she could do better under Erica's surveilance but she couldn't. Allison squinted her eyes and turned around to face Erica. Erica smiled at Allison's squeemish nerveous face. "Hold up your bow and i'll direct you." Allison stopped frowning and slouching to give Erica yet again a confused look. "What do you mean direct? Like, show me how?" Erica got up from her seat. She clasped her hand around Allison's arm. To Allison's surprise her hands were soft and strong at the same time. Erica hands possitioned Allison's arms to shoot directly to the target. Allison was still staring at Erica mezmorized by this new found knowledge. 'She practices the form of archery and didn't let me know until now?' Erica looked up to find Allison staring at her. Erica cupped her face in one hand and turned it to the target. Erica backed away a little. "Now impress me, Argent."
A sling and a thud resounded throughout the shallow space. Both of Allison's eyebrows raised in shock. "I got it!" Erica cleared her throat. "With your help of course." Erica smiled and nodded. Erica picked up Allison's bag from the ground and handed it to her. "We should get to school." Allison smiled bright. Revealing her perfect mouth. Erica looked away. Not wanting Allison to notice her obvious staring. "Why are you smiling like that?" Erica practically speaking to the ground. "Because I'm proud of you. First of all: You helped me with my aim. Second: You actually want to go to school." Erica laughed and told her she'd wait for her in the car.
Allison laughed with her and placed the bow on the rack and put her arrows in a cylinder. Locking both items in a big glass case. She walked outside. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping on a beautiful fall morning. She dropped her bag in the back of Erica's jeep. Wait- jeep? Erica doesn't own a jeep or a car... "Erica?" "Yeah?" Erica called from behind the vehicle putting something in the trunk. "Why do you have Stiles' jeep?" "Oh. He made a donation to the 'I'm way too fucking broke to afford a car' fund." Allison let out a genuine laugh at this. They both climb into the jeep and head of to school.
