1 year anniversary! of this story and here is the next chapie for u!

RPOV-

I walked back out the door that's intricate designs still baffled me, to the common area, and stood there looking around at the maze of halls that was laid out before me.

as I stood trying to get my bearings, I felt nausea roll over me only a split second before I felt cool hands grasp my shoulders.

"Are you lost young one?" a sickly voice asked. my body had gone ridged and I could not force my jaw to unlock to speak so I just stood there waiting to see what he would do to me.

"… no answer, well I will just take that as a yes then." he said chuckling (which I didn't know was possible for a Strigoi), and let go of my shoulders letting me turn and face him.

his features shocked me he could not have been older than 19 or 20 when he was turned, and his spiky brown hair, well built body and mild red eyes made him seem… I don't know, maybe more different than most of the other vampires' I have come across. better or worse… I can't tell yet.

"I'm looking for the basement." I said my keeping my head high, 'fear is weakness' and I was not going to be weak.

he tilted his head to the side in curiosity and asked, " the basement, why their it is strangely dark down there, there are many place here that aren't though… if you want I can show you some of toughs... more 'happy' places." he said winking at me.

i could not help the giggle that escaped my lips, all fear gone no I replied, " I'm meeting Grant for a training lesson today… Xavi told me that's where I would find him. So you can ether let me stand here looking like a fuck tard, or tell me how to get there." I said smirking at him.

"Well now that you put it like that, I guess I will just have to tell you were it is, wont I." he chuckled, then added, "It's down the third hall, 4th door on the right, watch your step, its dark..."

"Thank you." I said starting towards the hall.

"Anytime." he said behind me.

I followed his directions, and he was not kidding when he was saying watch your step, because as soon as I took my first step into that dark 4th door on the right, I fell, and kept falling.

I was falling long enough that I had time to realize that if I did not land on my feet from this fall then I would be vulnerable, so I righted myself in the air and FINELY landed…

I was expecting a ankle shattering impact, but what I got was the forgiving surface of a gym floor. I took a deep breath and tried to see my surroundings but failed due to the fact that this room was just as dark as the on Xavi had put me in. I don't know what's up with all the dark rooms but I really didn't like it, but I didn't like them. nausea rolled over me and my senses went on high, I felt a presents in the room and I needed to locate it before it got me. so I started with step one-why am I scared? easy im completely vulnerable. ok step two-who is causing it? easy aging, its whoever is in the room with me. Step three-are you too weak to swallow your fear of this danger? No, I will never be that weak.

somehow toughs three stupid little questions where enough of a reassurance for me to calm down and attempt to use all my sense other than sight to locate my attacker…

And I did. well somewhat I could feel his presence a little behind me to my left so I turned and face the direction I had sensed him in, and stepped carefully forward trying not to make a sound, I had no idea what I would do once I reached him but I didn't care I was going to go for it..

after about 8 steps I felt him move I don't know how exactly but I did, so when I also felt something coming towards my face I ducked and struck out with my fist, and surprisingly made contact with a rock hard body…

a ice cold, sweet laugh rang through the room, echoing off the walls…. then the lights came on.

I was still in my crouched position so when light shown down I was looking in the red eyes of Grant.

he reached down as if to offer me help to my feet, but being me I declined and stood up on my own.

"You did spectacular for such a novice, so many surprises fill you young one, are you ready to begin?" he asked, but before I could even form words the lights went back out and more nausea rolled over me and I heard 2 pair of feet hi the floor behind me.
