"And then the whole 'look into my eyes' it was classic Dracula stuff."
Connor said laughing about their first training session as he and Tomorrow
were walking into the school the next day.
"Connor, it takes a lot to survive as a vampire. I've been training for months and I still am not up to full strength. Oh course, only being half I might never reach full vampire strength, but you have a real shot if you'd just listen to dad. He knows what he's talking about, considering he's been one for more than a year. Thrall helps you command victims and minions."
"It's just all cheesy Hollywood stuff."
"Oh yeah, look into my eyes. Be in me. See as I see." Tomorrow could tell that it had worked, that Connor was totally under her thrall, but she also knew that her thrall would last a minute or two at most. Master vampires like dad could keep a thrall up for days if they had to. "Carry my books." She put her books in his already outstretched arms. Suddenly Connor snapped out of it.
"What happened?"
"Thrall. I probably wouldn't have been able to do it if it wasn't someone I was already really connected to. I actually convinced mom to bring me ice cream the other night, but dad's way too powerful."
"Have I mentioned you're scary?"
"Not as scary as I'll be if you don't give training a chance. I know there's not going to be a lot of fighting the first couple of weeks, dad wants to train you mentally first, but you'll be stronger if you just accept it. Just try and I promise after this crazy week I'll fight with you one on one. Now I still have damage control with Amanda and Emily, wish me luck." She kissed him as she grabbed her books and took off.
^^^^^^^^^^
"So what was all that this weekend?" Amanda asked. Then she whispered, "Was it a demon?"
"No," Tomorrow laughed, "It was Uncle Angel and Connor."
"Figures you'd blow us off for Connor." Emily said sitting down next to her. "Honestly ditching your girls for a guy is cold. Great shirt by the way."
"Look it was an emergency Connor really needed me. And you've seen my strawberry shirt before, but thanks."
"Look since we didn't have practice yesterday and the homecoming pep rally is coming up. I assigned a double practice for today and don't you dare say you have plans with Connor, he got you this weekend." Emily told her.
"Fine" Tomorrow said. "I just have to call my dad. And pray that they won't kill each other without me there."
