Seth, Brady, and Collin learn how to Spar a vampire with oversight of Jacob and Sam

My phone rang at about 5:30, just when I was getting ready to go hunting. I looked at it and did not recognize the number, but I answered it anyway.

"Hello,"

"Serina, this is Seth,"

"Hi, Seth is something wrong?"

"No. We were running patrol, and I asked Sam if you could teach us to fight vampires, you know for practice, and he said yes. So I was wondering if we could do that now," he said breathlessly.

"Okay, Yeah I am done the day." I said, laughing at his rushed tone. "Where would I meet you guys?" I asked.

"Um, there is a clearing close to the border, but on the Cullen's side. Sam said we could meet you there."

"Okay. I will meet y'all there in fifteen minutes."

We hung up, and I got ready to go. Just then my phone rang again, and I saw it was Alice.

"Hey girl, what's up?"

"What's up?" she said distressed. "You just disappeared from my vision, you tell me."

"I am fine. I am headed to a clearing to meet up with some of the wolf pups for a sparring lesson."

"What?!" she hissed.

"Yeah, Seth called and asked if I could teach some of the younger ones a thing about killing vampires because they never got a chance to-"

"This is unacceptable. You are not going around their kind unescorted. It could be a trap!"

I rolled my eyes. "Then you and Jas come with me."

"And do what?"

"I don't know. Help, supervise, escort."

She sighed, "Okay. If you are determined to teach the mongrels, then we will be there." She hung up the phone with an irritated sigh.

I grabbed my jacket, and went out the door thinking, "I am so glad everyone is getting along."

When Alice, Jasper, and I got to the clearing, there were five wolves there. They smaller ones were all trying to tackle each other and spar, but they came to attention when the older black wolf spot us and growled. The brown wolf disappeared behind the trees and came back as Jacob Black, wearing cut off jeans. For some reason, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him shirtless, but I attributed it to my body in transition from vampire to werewolf.

"Thanks for coming," Jacob said. "Seth was begging to let us do this."

"No problem," I said.

"Why did you bring the others?"

"Because you are a pack of dogs, and we are not going to let you hurt her," said Alice.

"Hurt her? Why would I hurt her?" he said almost offended.

There was no good answer to that, and this situation was going to escalate. "They have never seen werewolves fight before, I told them it was fascinating, and they had to see it."

"Oh, when have you seen wolves fight?"

"Your ancestors fought during the formation of the treaty. I came here to help negotiate. It took a month. I hung out with the pack and the clan during that time, and I learned a lot."

"Wow, no wonder my dad trusts you."

We locked eyes for a minute and it felt like we were peering into each others soul. Then I shook my head and broke contact, he was a client for Christ sake! We are here to help the younger boys.

"Alright," I said, "Seth, Collin, why don't you begin."

Seth and Collin circled each other, seizing each other up. Seth had the size, because he had phased earlier and had a longer time to grow, but Collin was only half an inch shorter than him. Both of them were black line and had good instincts of survival and fighting, but neither of them knew what they were doing. The one thing Seth had on Collin is that Seth did not see being a wolf as a bad thing, and he embraced his nature.

By the time I have observed these things, none of the boys have touched each other. I cocked my head to the side, and sighed. The younger ones were too scared of their nature to spar.

"I won't let anything happen to either of you," I whispered, knowing their animalistic capabilities of hearing would pick it up, "Sam and I will stop you if it gets too rough."

With my reassurance, Collin attacked Seth's muzzle, but Seth easily jumped out of the way and went up on his hind legs to bat Collin away. Then they locked onto each other and started snapping at each others faces. In the scuffle, Seth lost his balance and fell down to the side, bringing Collin with him. They rolled, kicking at each other with their hind legs and snapping at each other with their jaws. Then Seth used his weight to force Collin onto his back, pinning him to the ground. Seth howled in victory as Collin tried to struggle free.

"Very good Seth," I said. "Now, let your brother up."

Seth got off of Collin. "Okay, Seth used a lot of his weight and size against Collin to get the advantage. There are ways to get the advantage over a stronger and bigger opponent, by working on being leaner and faster. I will teach you how to do that Collin. You start by not going for the obvious kill, but being clever okay. That happened once, you got him to lose his balance and you almost had the advantage. That was good."

He nodded.

"You did really good," I praised. Collin puffed out his chest and walked back to where Jacob was standing. I looked at Sam and shook my head, and he let his head drop in an exhausted expression.

"Alright Brady, your turn against Jacob."

Brady came down to the little area, looking like he was about to face a giant, which he was. Jacob was over six and a half feet tall as a human, and his wolf nearly that long. He was large and muscular with a russet fur, and black coal eyes. He was one of the pack strongest fighters and I could understand Brady's fear.

Brady pounced against Jacob and the fight began.
