"This is ridiculous!" I said, heat searing my cheeks, "Let me up right now!"

He just smiled and shook his head, making his hair dance slightly.

I felt the anger bubbling up inside of me and tried to twist out of his grasp. "Let me go right now you perv!" I growled, my temper taking over once more.

"We've got to finish the lesson." He said, slightly amused by the direction my attitude was taking.

"Screw the lessons." I said angrily.

He didn't let me go. No matter how hard I tried to wrench free, his grip on my wrists didn't give.

I silently wondered how he could have this much strength and not have a hoarde of muscles to show for it.

My thoughts flashed back to vampires and their incredible hidden strength. But if Kurt were a vamp would he use his strength so obviously? Maybe it was like he said about Edward and he secretly wanted me to know? Begging with every telltale action for me to catch on.

I chided myself for these absurd fantasies, as my anger rose up again with staggering force. I again pulled at my wrists trying to break free, feeling as if the mad heat would smother me if I couldn't escape.

"Just let me go." I pleaded, trying to reach his soft side.

Evidently he didn't have one. "Say Uncle." He commanded.

"No."

"C'mon it could be over so quickly. It's not even that hard."

"Saying 'Uncle' is submission not patience."

"Hmm. Well, you could stand to learn both."

I growled something about teaching him a few things when he suddenly released my wrists. I straightened up in a hurry, before he could get hold of me again and spun around to face him.

His face was dark and for a minute I was frightened again.

Then he brightened and said,"There. Was that so hard?"

I frowned at him.

Then I turned and stomped to the door.

He reached for my hand again but I jerked it away.

"I don't think we need to meet again." I said bitterly and started to open the front door. This was a stupid waste of time; and humiliating on top of that.

His fist slammed into the door and forced it shut with a bang.

I stumbled forward, my hand still on the door handle.

"I think we should do this again tomorrow. Same time, same place." Kurt said.

I glared at his fist on the door, a bit timid and said, "Different lesson, though."

"Same lesson." He challenged.

I turned and forced myself to look him in the eye. "Different lesson or I won't come." I countered.

He looked into my eyes again, testing my resolve. I noticed now that his eyes were actually were darker than they had been before; if only somewhat.

"All right." He said, after a long pause, "Different lesson."

I held back a victorious smile and turned again to go.

"Mazia," He said.

I looked back at him and practically stopped breathing. His face was just inches from mine.

"Try to be careful, okay?" His voice rang with concern and I wondered what he was worried about.

Before I could ask, he lifted his fist from the door and started back for the living room.

I watched him go, even more convinced that he had a some sort of secret. And no matter what it was, Vampirism or something else, I was going to find out what it was.

Tonight.


Shorter chapter, I know. But I need the rest for the next chapter and it's, like, 4:37 AM. *~*
