Infinity chapter 7

I stand in the middle of Combat Gym clutching a dagger. This is gonna be really fun. I can tell. I always had a liking for knives or sharp things in general. My friends always used to think I was violent. I really liked gore and violence and fighting. Killing, not so much. But I have a very...strong self-defense system. Say for instance, if a stranger comes up to me and shakes my hand, I'll probably break their hand off or injure them severely. I don't act like that because it's cool, it's just natural. I can't help being violent and dark.

I've already tried archery, which I totally suck at. I've also tried sword fighting with Ash, which was pushing my luck. He had me pinned to the wall with his sword tip pointing at my throat in twenty seconds.

Ash smirks when I prepare to throw the knife, which brings my temper out. I kick him hard in the shins and attempt to strangle him, only to find myself in a headlock.

I have the strongest desire to hurt him in some way. I've never wanted to hurt someone so badly. I wanna burn him, or freeze him, or...or...or shock him! That's it! I'll shock him! Wait, what the heck?how did I even think of that. That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard of. But it seems like the right thing to do and it seems possible too.

I feel an electric current rippling through me. The same feeling I felt when I put on the belt. A second later, Ash is on the floor gasping for breath.

"She shocked me!" he yells pointing accusingly at me.

"What?" me, Tori, and Aaron say in unison.

"She shocked me, like, with electricity!"

Aaron and Tori stare at me. "Well, that's your P.S. I'm pretty sure," Aaron says.

I stand there, still clutching the dagger, confused. "My P.S is electricity?"

"Looks like it," Tori says.

Wow. That's cool. I'm a vampire. And I can shock and electrocute people. Totally normal.

"Well, hurry up and throw the knife already," Ash snaps.

I give him the coldest look I can come up with. Then, I throw the knife the dummy's heart. It pierces right in the middle. In fact, the knife goes right through the dummy and sticks in the wall.

"We found your signature weapon," Tori says happily.

I leave the Combat Gym with two dozens of knives. I go straight to the room and organize my knives neatly in a glossy, black, mini jacket.

Someone knocks on my door. "Come in." Ash comes in, which takes me by surprise. "Yo, we got a meeting in ten minutes. It's about training our people."

"'Kay," I say not looking at him. Ash lingers for a few more seconds, then leaves. I change my clothes into a longsleeve black shirt and skinny black pants with black leather boots laced up till my knees. I pull my jacket on.

The glass hallway is empty. Not a servant in sight. I shrug as if it's nothing and continue walking.

All three of them are sitting in the room discussing something inaudible. I clear my throat slightly. "There's an empty chair," Ash says without turning around. I make a face at him.

"So, what goes on?" I say, trying to add some friendliness to the atmosphere.

"Life," Ash answers coldly.

"Do you have a problem?" I ask equally coldly.

"Yeah. You."

"Well, unfortunately for you, you're gonna need to deal with it."

"Why don't we start," Tori says, interrupting us.

Ash gets up and goes to the front of the room. "I think that we should have all the citizens fight on the ground, while we supervise from above. They should be hidden at first, then surprise attack. In the meantime, we'll stay in a hideout—"

"Are you kidding?" I blurt out. "That is the stupidest, most self-conceited idea I have ever heard of!"

All three of them just stare at me.

"Well do you have a better idea?" Ash retorts.

I bristle with my words.

"That's what I thought," Ash says in the same cold tone.

"I have an idea," Aaron interrupts.

He says his idea, which is more or less like Ash's idea.

"I like your idea," Ash says. "You at least have a smarter brain than Cressy, who couldn't even come up with her own idea."

That's my last straw. I won't tolerate this and I won't have anyone bullying me.

"At least I have a brain, whereas Ash doesn't," I say in the worst tone I can.

"Then how did I come up with the idea in the first place?" Ash retorts.

"It was a stupid idea! It had no sense behind it!"

"Yes it does! Because we will be the ones that are the targets!"

"I would try to save someone's life instead of being self conceited!"

"It's called saving your own life while trying to save others!"

"Well I would risk my life to save others that I care about and love! And so far you're not on that list!"

I guess that was too harsh because hurt flashed across his face and he stormed out of the room.

Am I really that rude?
