Sorry it took so long to write a review moved to a new city and going to a new college, it took a bit to settle in. Here is a new chapter, I really want to continue writing this but please review so I know I am writing for someone. Thanks again to the reviewers your awesome.
Chapter 5 - Wake
I woke up the next day with a massive head ache, I am not sure if it was cause of my new found abilities or because I was so darn excited I couldn't sleep.
I showered and dressed quickly after last night Peter sent me immediately to bed, since I almost fell over from the long day. He said we would discuss it tomorrow, meaning today. I wanted to talk to him and well -- just see him, our connection last night woke up my abilities I want to see what else I could do. I started for the door and it opened making me smack right into Jacob's hard chest.
"Hey darling, you miss me much?" His arm snaked around my shoulders as he pulled me down the hall. He smelled of lavender mixed with nice male scent, his strong arms pulled me to a huge room a few turns from mine. "I thought you might want to start a bit of training this morning to get you ready for Lara when she gets here, from what I hear some of your powers found their way out yesterday. You must be excited; Lara's going to love training you."
We reached the room, all the walls had what looked like weapons of all kinds, and each surrounded a huge mat that was in the middle of the room. "Get changed right over there, they should be your size, and I'll wait here for you. " He winked as I entered, that guys going to give me a head ache. Once I was changed I came out to Jacob stretching on the mat looking very good, shame on me for looking but I couldn't help it. "Stretched a bit and then I'll get you warmed up." He smiled as he faced me while I began stretching my legs. After a few silent stretched and evil glares that I gave Jacob, who only smirked, then he stood up and walked over to me. "So I am going to teach you a bit on hand to hand combat, this is what I normally teach a big class of future guardians so you're lucky to get a one on one."
He showed me some moves one how to punch and kick properly without hurting myself, I tried a couple of times but I kept hurting my wrists. Eventually after a few bruises I got the hang of the fighting techniques that he was teaching me. "Alright Cassia let's try something more challenging, try and knock me down." I was determined since it's been hours already since the time we started and I wanted a break. Every hit I made he blocked, the kicks that I gave were hard enough to make him grunt in pain but he held on. Well at least until I swiped my leg under him and knocked him flat on his back.
"Ha I did it! I knew I could do it!" I was a little preoccupied in my victory I didn't notice him kick under me and tackle me down flat on my back this time. He laid over me with his normal grin on his face and leaned down. "Sorry darling I couldn't help myself, it was just too good not to knock you over. But now look at the predicament you've put us in." He said as he continued to lie above me, I struggled a little to get up but he was way too heavy. "What? No victory kisses?" I swear he was about to lean forward more, but he was soon lifted up and off of me with a huge force into a nearby wall. I felt cold hands lift me up and wrap around my waist.
"You ever try that with my mate again while training and I'll sew your mouth shut and make you work with Max." Peter practically growled out that sentence while pressing me close to his chest. I watched Jacob get up slowly, he was clearly injured but tried to laugh it off. "Ah Pete I was just playing, I know she's yours, and no way in he'll am I working with that jerk again." I looked at the two, but was concerned that Peter really hurt Jacob. "Don't worry love Jacob is fine this happens all the time, mostly when Lara is here." Peter obviously read my mind.
"Who is Max?" I asked really curious on why Jacob doesn't like him.
"Max is another Guardian who trains in weaponry, Jacob's older brother actually. They both haven't gotten alone in years so I use it as a threat to both of them if they don't behave.
"Yah and I never work with that ass hole, all he does is try and be better than me every time he's here. Lara has a thing for him too; don't know what she sees in him at all." Jacob looked a little said when he said that, I had a feeling he might like this Lara person.
"Well love I think you have had enough training with Peter today, why don't you go change and meet me in the library down the hall." He kissed the top of my head, which still gave me tingles from head to toe.
After I got dresses I headed towards the library but came to a stop when I heard people laughing. I peeked in to see a beautiful tall blonde haired girl chatting with Peter, while Jacob looked angry. Peter stop abruptly and looked right at me with his glowing green eyes.
"Come on in love I want you to meet Lara, she came back a little early from the training camp." I came in a little nervous, from what I heard Lara trains people with abilities, meaning she is probably pretty powerful herself. A big smile appeared on her face as she took both my hands in hers.
"Hello Cassia it's so good to finally meet you, Peter and your parents have told me a lot about you." She had such a welcoming appeal to her and I think I might get along with her. I looked over to Jacob who was looking annoyed and like he wanted to say something. "Oh don't worry about Jake he gets grumpy when someone over powers him, or Peter throughs him around a bit." I guessed she heard about the indecent with training. "But he deserved it because you're Peters and all." She winked and yanked Jacob up to leave the room. "I'll be seeing you around Cassia."
"You'll get along well with her love she has a lot of character and spunk. But never mind that right now, I thought you'd like to go on a little trip with me today?" He pulled me away a bit from him again to look at me, his right hand brushed through my hair with an intimate touch. I know from the way my heart was pounding I'd go anywhere with him, But in reality I have only known him for a couple days. This was just all going so fast and I still don't really understand what I am.
"Love I can tell you are thinking way to hard right now. Your nose is all scrunched up." One of his fingers lightly touched the tip of my nose and then he cupped my chin. "Whatever you want to ask me go ahead; I will keep no secrets from you ever. Don't be afraid of me either my lovely Cassia."
"I—I – Peter this is all so much right now, The other day I was leaving another new town for this one, I was a boring girl who just worked on her computer too much. It's just all getting to me -- ah I am sorry you probably think I am being-- " I was cut off by his finger that went over my lips, then it was replaced by his cool lips pressing to mine.
"You my love, need to take a deep breath, I understand how much all this is and I will do anything I can to help you feel at home. My home is yours now and Lara is here too to guide you in any way until you're ready to become a true guardian. " "Now come I think a nice walk around the property, with fresh air, will help you relax no?" Such a charmer he is, I just can't resist being near him and the whole mate thing is probably the reason for it. That's another thing I want to find out more about.
Later that night after Peter and I got back we ate with Lara and Jacob in the main dining hall. Lara I can already tell loves picking on Jacob, the whole time I was laughing at how the two bicker and make rude comments to each other. Peter seemed to enjoy it as well; he was smiling the whole time as well as making sure I ate enough.
The three of them had to go to something called a council meeting, I guess it something for the vampires and head guardians to meet and discuss problem and such with each other. No clue on that one, though Peter was worried to leave me alone, I wanted to read and head to bed. I started reading more of China Garden again, my favorite scene when the hot biker boy of the town first meets the female lead. The whole story always gives me goose bumps. But something else gave me goose bumps when I heard something loud bang in the hallway. I knew no one was back yet so I quietly opened my door and headed towards the noise. I know in all the horror movies the dumb girl always goes to the noise instead of running away to somewhere safe, and then she gets killed. Well I am not dumb just curious, besides I took down Jacob and I have some crazy power that I don't know how to use, so let's see what happens.
I found nothing of course the hall was empty and the lights were all on so I would see anything. But I felt a breeze from around the corner….and well great the window was opened. "Come to investigate little guardian?" The voice came from behind me, deep and smooth with a hint of a laugh. I turned to see a tall man with silver eyes and long blonde hair staring me down. "You must be Peters pet; I always wanted to take something from him." I swear my heart stopped and I was losing all feeling in my body, I was terrified.
Council Building
Peters POV
Marcus was discussing another rouge vampire on the loose when I sensed Cassia. Her heart was beating faster and her fear was rising. Something was very wrong. I concentrated to contact her letting her know I was on my way; no one was hurting what was mine.
"Pete something wrong?" Lara asked as I stood up.
"Its Cassia, I think we have an unwelcomed guest in my house." I didn't want to discuss anything else; I was gone before she could say more.
"CASSIA I AM COMING."
Back at the estate
"CASSIA I AM COMING" I heard Peters voice in my head, but I was too scared to try and think on how to respond back. The man came closer until he could brush the hair out of my face. "Poor girl, your lover not here to save you?"
"No! " I yelled and pushed my hands out to stop him from touching me, then heard a loud crack and I watch him slam into the far wall.
