RPOV-

I woke up early the next morning with nausea, which mint Strigoi were very close, I now I am in a mansion with vampires that claim to be different but old habits die hard and after the fight I had yesterday I know most of the vampires hear want to kill me. So I grabbed my stake and headed to the door I opened it slowly, then stepped out and surveyed my surroundings I felt no immediate danger so I tucked my stake under my shirt, and slowly headed down the stairs.

once at the bottom I paused again, looked left then looked right, the left looked like it headed to a feeders room the right had one main hallway that branched in to many different halls.

suddenly nausea rolled over me then I felt wind behind me, I turned and struck out just to be restrained from the back.

"Now, now, I can't have my students trying to kill me can I?" a sticky sweet voice said to me. He let go of me and tuned me to face him.

"I am Harvey, I am to tech you speed and how to move with precision, and how to sneak up on people without them knowing in the slightest, oh and Salem told me to give you this," he handed me a sandwich with egg and cheese.

"eat on the way to the back yard you have 5 min to be there." with that he was gone, there was no trace of him what so ever. I ate and walked to the door, for a Strigoi Salem sure knew how to cook.

I walked out in to the yard to find Harvey waiting for me.

"come now, it is time to start." he walked to his right, and I followed.

amazingly to the right of the house was a track and wait room.

" you will run today, and every morning from now on until I tell you to stop. the said his blond hair blowing in his face.

"um… sorry to burst your bubble dude, but have been running every morning for the past few months'. so I don't see how this is going to help me." I said rolling my eyes.

then a huge smile lit up his face showing his fangs and all, "Then I guess I won't go easy on you, come follow me." he said walking to the weight room.

he pulled out what looked like a chest plate the 5 circle thingy's that were all different sizes, and something that resembled a adult dipper.

"put them on." he told me grinning.

I walked over to the pile and picked up the chest plate thingy, only to fall forward by the surprising weight, I braced myself and picked it up aging it only weighed about 25 pounds but still, I put my arms through the arm holes and pulled it around to the front like a jacket and snapped it closed, then I asked,

"how, and where do I put on the circle things?"

his grin got even bigger as he approached the pile.

"two on your hands, two on your ankles, and one on your neck." he said handing me the weights. I put them on they where about 8 LBS. each, then I put on the dipper thing and pulled it tight, it was about 20 Lbs. then I turned and looked at Harvey,

"now what?"

" 1 lap on our track is a mile, so you will be running 20 laps to day. Oh and you might want to get started Xavi wanted to work with you today as well so you have about 2 hours to get this done, there is water already at the track waiting for you. Begin."

the first few running steps I stumbled trying to get used to all the new weight, but then got my footing and started running.

After about my 8th lap I was quickly running out of energy, considering I had only been running 7 miles a day, it became a mental game of trying to make my mind go blank and forget the pain and fatigue I was felling. It worked, not only was I able to finish, but once my mind was clear I had increased my speed I finished with 15 minutes to spare.

but once I had crossed the line marking my finish, and let myself think aging I felt as if I was going to die. My lungs burned as if I had swallowed acid, and my muscles where so tiered I collapsed, and could not move, and my heart felt as if it was about to explode. you know those moments where you can hear your pulse, well right now I could not here someone yell in my ear my heart was beating so hard.

I closed my eyes and laid their for a moment . then I felt something hit my side, I looked up at Harvey's smiling face,

"good, your still alive. stand up and take the weights to the weight room, then I will tell you were to find Xavi, and here is some water you look like you need it." he handed me the water then walked to the side of the track.

I slowly stood feeling that my heart rate had slowed and walked to the weight room still dragging my feet along, once I had taken all the weights off I noticed how much easier it was to move my own weight around.

walking back to the track it felt as If my feet were gliding over the ground, I was amazing.

"Well you did, ok you could have done better thought. but anyways Xavi is waiting for you inside, you will see him once you enter, but be warned, his lessons will make mine feel like a morning walk in the park." was all he said then he was gone aging. so fast there was nothing but the trail of wind he left behind to even prove he had moved.

I slowly made my way to the house to face the nightmare that was ahead of me.

Dpov-

I woke up and found myself bound by chains in a cell, with the man who called himself Salem standing in front of me.

"You know if you would have behaved, and stayed away from rose until I sent her to find you this would have been a lot easier for both of us, because see now you have to start suffering sooner."
