Training

Luna Pov

Walking home in silence was not as bad as I thought it would be, neither of us felt compelled to fill in the silence nor uncomfortable with the silence.

Walking up to my 'house' if you can even call it that, the bodyguard who's name I still don't know but don't want to ask just in case he thinks I'm being civil opened the door for me, not that surprising probably just trying to get into my good books.

"How was school?" My mum asked suddenly appearing next to me, I used to jump and even scream when they did that but growing up with it plus the training I can normally sense when some ones near me no matter how silent or quick they are.

"same same." I muttered unsuccessfully trying to keep a yawn in.

"you can't already be tired? Your fathers waiting for you in the training room," I nodded my energy suddenly picking up, "Stephan you will be required for this session." What? Surely I was not ready to go against someone else already, trying to seem nonchalant I stalked up to the second floor and into the room.

The training room was just a simple room, white hard walls and white hard floor that have no mercy if you fall badly onto it, dad was standing at the opposite side of the room so I ran up to him kissed him on the cheek and put some space between us.

"Stephan, the reason you've been called up here is because I have to leave half an hour early for a meeting so I need you to replace me once I have gone, for now you can stand and watch." Bodyguard Stephan nodded and wandered over to a corner where I could feel his eyes scrutinizing every move I make.

Without a warning dad had disappeared, being too quick for human eyes I used my other senses my main and best sense was the sixth sense; everyone has it it's just about training and exploring it, using my senses I could feel the air particles swishing past me, I could feel a presence behind me and feeling a bounce in the floor I ducked quickly to see him doing a karate kick through the air just where my head had once been, not giving him time to recover I took out his leg and pushed my weight against him so he was on the floor but too quick for me to realise I had been pushed back so I was cornered; not a good position.

Our fighting went on for a while but felt more like mere seconds than half an hour, I enjoyed these sessions and couldn't control my laugh at seeing my dad fall flat on his face or it even happening to me so I was surprised when he suddenly stopped, with a nod my dad was gone; he never really was one for words.

My new opponent was the opposite side of the room to me, my eyes travelling every section of his body so I could size him up, he had now changed out of his suit and into a pair of jeans and band t-shirt, in his new clothes I could see each powerful muscle which I must say I was impressed, he was not disgustingly bulgy but not weedy looking, I felt his eyes travelling my body but it made me feel insecure.

In one blink he had gone, oh shit.

He had somehow got me pinned on the floor, using all the energy I had left I kicked him off me and rolled back on to my feet, studying his moved I knew just about when he would move like he would bounce on his heels before jumping so I could slide under him and trip him the only disadvantage was when he ran, unlike most people I have gone against he didn't use the same trick once.

The one hour timer rang meaning the session was over and once again he had me pinned but this time against the wall, frozen as we were a small blush came tingling up my cheek which made his crooked half smile come out again,

"are you going to let me go?" I asked feeling quite miffed that one he beat me and two he was practically boasting by keeping me stuck between his body and the wall, putting on a thinking face he seemed to be considering it, considering it! Seeing my expression he cracked up laughing finally letting me go so I could run to my room and have a shower.

Stephan Pov

I must say when she went to school and I read the folder they gave me on her I was shocked, they expected someone so small and fragile looking to be our next queen and she was to determine our future.

I have learnt so much about her in one day, sneaky; how many times has she almost been able to get away from me now?

She was quick! Of course not as fast as vampire speed but when I was chasing her in the forest and in the training room I was astounded at how elegant but precise and quick she could be.

Brave, her exterior makes her seem girly and defenceless which she hates, inside she's witty, strong and powerful, she reminds me of a kitten who believes it's a lion and won't listen to anyone who says different and I truly admire her for that.

Even though she is supposedly our future queen I will not bow down to her every command, that is not who I am. Unless she has a proper cause for how she behaves then I will not follow her childish whims; even if I do adore them.

Not bothering to change out of my normal clothes I sat in their extravagant garden on the lush green grass, Luna was having a shower after our little session which I must say I was impressed when I first heard she was being trained to fight while she was still human and against us vampires I thought it was absurd but she surely stuck up for herself, she fought smart, seeing as she doesn't have much strength she relies on using your moves against you and striking when your unprepared, if she didn't get exhausted I think we could have gone on for hours.
