Chapter 4
Awakening The Beast within Thyself
I had a blank dream. Just darkness and nothing else. When I woke up I found Selene cuddled up next to me with her arms wrapped around me. I wasn't showing any emotion but on the inside the little man inside me needed his brown pants...I layed there for a moment. "Hey wake up..." I said to her. Her eyes slowly opened and then she looked up at me. She smiled and said, " You do realize that I am lying so close to you so I can get my breakfast without you running right?". I sat there while she stared at me. She then started to close in on my neck and I braced myself for major, stinging, needle-like pain. Although I felt her fangs bury themselves into my neck, it didn't hurt like the last time. She drank only for a moment that time and then jumped off the bed and got dressed. I sat there still recovering from shock that: a)the bite didn't hurt, and b)that she was getting dressed right in front of me. She didn't wear much to bed just enough to cover the chest and waist. Then she picked up a pillow and threw it into my face saying not to just sit there and stare like a poor hentai bastard and to go downstairs. I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. I didn't need to get dressed, I slept fully clothed. I wanted breakfast too so I went downstairs and checked her fridge for anything to eat. All she had were packets of medical blood. I shrugged and popped one open and sat down on the couch drinking it. She came down in a battle top and jeans. They were both black and her hair blew behind her in the slight breeze. "Follow me out back." she said. I followed her out to an agility course that had 20 meter jumps, 65 degree inclines, hoops, terrains of all sorts, and a bed of hot coals. I thought it would be easy so I did some stretching I stood back up and was ready to do the course. Then I fell down flat on my face. "Where did I go just now?" I said through the dirt and grass, and... a millipede!!!God that did not taste good.... Crunchy outside with a creamy inside and it was all moving constantly... I felt several hundred pounds of wait on each of my limbs and torso. "That is exactly 2,500 pounds evenly distributed across your body. Now get up and run!" she yelled. I got up using all my force and was able to make the first 20 meter jump, but when I hit the ground my legs broke under the weight. I laid there in pain as I couldn't get up. "Get up Flare, C'mon' Move IT!" she yelled. "I can't my legs are broken." I muttered through the pain. She pulled out her sword and started to walk toward me. "You better get up or you are going to have worse injuries than broken bones..." she said. I got up under intense pain and started to run and jump the next 20 meter jump, but when I hit the ground my bones shattered, ripping through the skin. I fell and I definitely could not get up that time even if I was going to die. I almost had no bones in my leg! She started to walk over to me again with her sword drawn. I saw her lips moving but all I heard was the ringing in my ears from the pain. Then it was like I felt a flame light in my chest light and bring me back up to my feet and I was able to run. I did the 65 degree incline running in 10 seconds... And it was 25 meters long! I jumped through the hoops, ran over terrain and hit the end in less than 10 minutes. When I got to the end I felt that fire die and I fell over. Selene walked over and crouched down beside me. "Good job. That was the best time I had ever seen anyone do this track with broken legs." she said. "What was the worst?!?" I asked. "They didn't finish. That was the guy that came before you." she said. She then picked me up with all of my weights on and carried me back into the house, up the stairs and into the bedroom and laid me down on the bed. She said something about always wearing the leg weights so that my legs can get used to them, along with my chest and arms. She game me a blood packet and undid the leg weights so that she could put some leg splints on me. Then she put the leg weights back on over them. "Well I hope you do better tomorrow." she said. "TOMORROW! I CAN'T EVEN GET UP NOW!!!" I yelled. "Don't worry I fix that." she said while walking toward me. She sat down next to me on the bed and went towards my neck. I thought I was going to die because of the constant drinking, breaking limbs, and possibly loss of limbs later...But no I didn't feel blood being sucked out but pumped in. A very fast healing process began. I felt my legs fix themselves, which kinda hurt a little. Then I felt power a very immense power. She stared at me after she pulled away and didn't say anything. She pulled a mirror over and saw my eyes blood red with black slits. "Finally it awakened." I said. She smiled and hugged me and fell asleep on top of me which made me feel uncomfortable. I thought about sleeping but it was only 2 in the afternoon. I picked Selene up and moved her to the other side of the bed. I went outside and went back on the agility course. I constantly repeated the 20 meter jumps. Every time my legs broke they rehealed themselves. I had never felt like this before. SO I kept jumping until my legs didn't break. And even after then I still did the 20 meter jump about 25 more times. Then I went to the 65 degree incline and ran it over and over until I was able to run 25 meters in five seconds flat. I wanted to climb. So I climbed up the tree that was near the house over and over about five times. I went over a combat dummy and threw punches over and over again. Then did high kicks until I pulled both of my thighs. I Then got an iron pole and made a make shift pull up bar in between two boulders. I did 500 pull ups, 150 push ups, and 100 crunches. By the time I was done with the crunches the sun was starting to fall so I headed back inside. I grabbed another blood pack out of the fridge and gulped down in one drink. After that I surprisingly felt much better and rejuvinated. But I went ahead upstairs and laid down on the bed next to selene. I guess I didn't mind if she drank my blood once a day. I felt tired at that point so I dozed off to sleep.
