Hey! I've written a couple stories like this before but they were on a different account or a deleted them, oops! First one I've sat down to write in a looooong time.
typical A/N being that i have zero rights to the Twilight story I've just pinched the characters for a little while. :) Also i got to about this point in the story where I lost direction a bit and ended up changing the direction of the story I was going in, hope you all still enjoy it! :)
10 Training
Just before five I changed into a pair of black skinny jeans, black sports bra before throwing a maroon muscle tee thing over the top; adding a plain pair of black high-tops and throwing my hair up into a bun I was ready to go when I was summoned by a single knock on the door.
"So, you must be Isabella." Felix stated as I pulled the door shut, I looked at Dimitri trying to gauge if he was serious all he gave me was a shrug.
"Well, duh." I laughed.
"I'm Felix," He stated the obvious.
"I know." Was this guy for real? Clearly wasn't kept around for his brains.
The rest of the walk was silent, until we ran into a very pretty brunette dressed in a dress that left absolutely nothing to the imagination.
"Heidi, lookin' gooooood." Felix hollered much louder than was required.
"Hello to you too Felix," if words could roll their eyes hers would have.
"Heidi, this is Isabella." Dimitri introduced us once we were closer, she smiled politely and I returned it; we had nothing to talk about and continued on.
When we got to what Felix announced as the battle room Alec was already fighting a girl that looked to be about his age, Dimitri pulled me backwards just in time to dodge the girl as she came flying backwards; straight at us.
"Alright you two, cut it out come meet the newbie!" Felix hollered catching Alec by the nape of the neck as he flashed past.
"Isabella, you met Alec in America; this is his twin sister, Jane." The both extended a hand at the same time and I shook both.
"This is the one I told you about," Alec grumbled to Jane whose happy face turned to one of pure hate as she continued to look at me.
"Jane enough of that." Snarled a vampire as he entered through the opposite side of the room.
"That's Santiago, he's in charge of the physical training." Jane huffed before she Alec and Felix began a sort of tag team battle leaving Dimitri and I standing alone again.
"What was that about?" I asked as we watched them dance around each other.
"She was trying to use her power on you, Jane's always trying to one up her brother." Dimitri laughed as Jane protested giving Felix the chance to pin her.
"That's one to Felix," Santiago called, uninterested.
"What were their powers again?" I couldn't remember if I'd discussed them with anyone yet.
"Alec removes senses, leaving you blind, deaf and terribly fearful. Jane on the other hand just tends to inflict pain on anyone she doesn't like."
"Hey!" The girl in question cried out in protest as she knocked Felix off his feet.
"One to Jane," Santiago announced.
"I have a theory," I made conversation as we watched Jane tag Alec into the fight.
"Hmm?"
"About my power," I had his attention now.
"How do their powers work?" He looked at me confused.
"I don't know, they just focus on their target and it just works." I smiled, turning back to the fight.
"Two for Felix!" Santiago called just as Alec flew through the air crashing into the floor beside where Santiago stood.
Just focus, I thought; eyes trained on Felix I thought about him losing his sight.
"Oi what the fuck Alec! No powers!" He growled, just as Alec sent him crashing to the ground.
"I'm not doing anything!" Alec growled back, offended so I stopped.
"One to Alec!" Santiago added, "Felix just get on with it."
"He used his gift! I don't have a gift to use!" Felix protested, holding the fight up.
"I didn't even do anything!" Alec argued.
"Well you're the one that takes sight away, and I just lost mine!" Felix snarled diving for Alec's side; he missed.
Dimitri was watching me as the fight heated up, an eyebrow arched and a hint of a smirk on his face.
I turned my attention to Alec, thinking of the heat I'd experienced over the last seven days of my transition; he couldn't have hit the floor harder, screaming bloody murder as his body twitched like a fish out of water.
"Ha!" Felix chortled, so I stopped.
"Jane, what the fuck?" Alec snarled as he wobbled to his feet again, propped against the wall; Felix too the opportunity to swoop in and slam him back into the ground.
"Three to Felix, we have a winner." Santiago couldn't have sounded less enthused.
"What the fuck was that, Jane?!" Alec fumed standing up again.
"I didn't do anything! Just because you were losing!" The bickered back and forth until Santiago interrupted.
Dimitri reached for my hand and I let him take it.
Remind me not to piss you off, deal? He thought at me.
"Deal." I repeated to him, a smirk to mirror his on my own face.
As the twins bickered we were joined by three more vampires, all of which stood with us and flinched when Alec screeched again as he writhed on the floor.
"Afton, Corin, Mele this is Isabella." Dimitri did the introductions once Santiago threw Jane against the back wall breaking her gaze with Alec.
"Alec go and fetch master Aro, pronto." Santiago ordered as the boy regained his balance again. Ah shit, busted. I thought and Dimitri's shit eating grin said the same.
"Alright you lot, pair up we've got a newbie to train; D you take her, the rest of you simple no special abilities we're working on strength control today. Best of three, get moving." Santiago ordered, Dimitri pulled us furthest away and began with what he called the simplest of stances. I had more flashbacks of the night in the ballet studio when the Cullen's had come to save me, I'd seen pieces of James fighting with Jasper and Emmett but I seemed to remember more of it now.
Dimitri crouched low, knees apart, back hunched slightly so I copied him.
"I'm going to come at you from the left, then you're going to try and get your arms around me from the left; alright?" I nodded and he counted down from three. I exhaled deeply just as he reached one, opening my eyes in time to see him falter and make his move from the right instead. I managed to dodge his attack, my fingertips grazing his shirt making contact with the skin underneath as I spun around launching for him; he pinned me beneath him easily.
"More impressive than I thought, you'd be." He grinned at me, mockingly.
"One to Dimitri!" Santiago called from somewhere in the room.
"Marcus told me y'all fight dirty." I smiled sweetly up at him before jerking my knee up so it collided with his groin, he groaned; loosening his grip just enough for me to roll, pinning him instead.
"Did that actually just happen D? That's an even one all!" Santiago called again over what sounded like Felix's obnoxious laughter.
"D, a word if you would?" Santiago called again summoning him over, I let go still smirking as he stood up.
They spoke in hushed tones I'm sure if I'd paid attention I could have heard, I was more interested in watching the others fight. Jane obviously used her size as an advantage always slipping the grip of her opponent at the last second ducking and weaving in and around Afton pinning him in what could only be described as sneak attacks. Felix was muscle from head to toe and that made pinning Corin three times a piece of cake leaving him to take on Mele who was just as small as Jane only far less skilled in the art of battle, still she seemed to have a pretty good idea of the definition of evasion and even managed to knock Felix on his ass once when he became frustrated over not catching her.
"Ready for round two?" Dimitri came back from his chat with Santiago with more pep in his step than he had before, confident that he was winning this match.
We started in opposite corners; Felix counted down from three, having finished both of his matches. When he reached one Dimitri shot forward aimed straight for me, arms outstretched, teeth bared; I was still tossing up between which technique to use but by the time he was stood in front of me I was back where he started. Felix hollered from the sidelines, in an attempt to work Dimitri up. It was a big game of cat and mouse between the two of us, when he thought he had a hold of me I'd be gone until I barreled into him from the side sending us both crashing into the wall. From there it turned into more of a wrestling match than anything else, he was up, then I was up, until he made a crucial error, over reaching as he threw himself at me to gain the upper hand again; I shifted my weight slightly and he toppled straight over the top in a complete 180 so I had him pinned again.
"Seriously Dimitri? Two to one, Isabella wins." Santiago declared.
"What even is the matter Santiago?" Aro sounded annoyed as he stood with Alec by his side in the doorway.
"Sir, the twins were fighting over the ban of special abilities. On a more positive note, your newborn just beat Dimitri." Santiago seemed to be reminding Dimitri who almost looked like he was sulking now.
"We weren't fighting, I didn't use my ability and Alec said I did!" Jane growled at both Santiago and Alec.
"Well Felix said I used mine but I didn't!" Alec huffed back.
"You did! I had no sight, and that's your thing!" Felix added his two cents.
"Why would I attack Alec over attacking Felix? That only benefits me!" Jane argued further.
Aro's eyes were trained on me as the three bickered; I tried to look anywhere but at him. Dimitri appearing to dust himself off and picking up his ego seemed to catch on, looking at Aro's gaze fixed on me he insanely decided to spin me around; an arm around my waist so we were chest to chest.
Hey there. He thought, I grinned in response.
"Isabella," Aro commanded attention a glare comparable to that of a thunder cloud on his face.
"Kind of busy over here," I raised a hand up as if shooing a fly away.
"Isabella," He growled again.
You're in trooooouble, Dimitri jeered.
"Isabella, do not make me come over there." Aro threatened and when we still failed to move, he did. Curling his fingers around my upper arm he jerked me backwards and Dimitri let me go; traitor. Aro marched me through the small crowd that had grown.
"Training will resume tomorrow." Aro snarled as he retreated, still dragging me along like a misbehaved child.
drop me a review, trying to upload as quickly as my fingers can keep the story flowing!
