I do not own VA. Richelle Mead is the proud owner of the series.

The way that he taught me on how to control my mouth was not in any way enjoyable. He walked in with a big bucket but the size of the large Rubbermaid containers full of ice. The lid was still on it so I was just left wondering what was in it. Walked back out and grabbed a smaller bucket, bout the size of one that would be used to hold just enough water to clean the floors with as well as the hose. None of these things were really reassuring to me. Sure enough he opened the contain and it was full of ice, ICE for crying out loud!

This guy definitely had issues. I stood there afraid of what was coming next. However, me and my smart ass mouth had to add some sort of comment in. "What in hell is all that for?" "You'll see" was the only response that I wasn't wanting to hear. Yet, that is exactly what he said while smiling a chesire cat grin.

Next thing I know was him telling me to continue doing the star jumps. I went back to the exercise that I was doing before I opened my big mouth. I could see everything that was going on. First he took the hose and filled up the container with ice till all the ice was covered. What made me confused was that he didn't bother picking the bucket up. You know that look of anxiousness and when your so nervous that you start to shake? Yeah, well multiply that by 10 than you will understand why I was almost shaking so bad that I couldn't do the star jumps. I maybe a smart ass but I kept my mouth shut and didn't dare to stop doing the exercises. As soon as my attention was back on him he asked me how my muscles were doing. I thought that since the bucket was still on the ground that I was sort of safe. I was WRONG! I stupidly told him that they still hurt. Not even a second later I had the hose pointed at me and I was being soaked. How in the hell could I forget about the damn hose? He kept it up threw one star jump than the next the water would stop. After a few of those I was so wet that I was making sloshing sounds when I moved.

That was what made me learn to keep my mouth closed. I mean damn, would you keep running your mouth? If you would than you need more help than he does. I went threw a FULL hour of that. I will never complain around him again.

All the while, I kept the fact that there was a large bin of ice cold water. I wanted to know what it was for but I DID NOT want to ask him. Instead he simply wrote a note saying "Do Not Touch" on it. Guess I'd have to wait, although I'm not sure that I want to know what it is for.

LPOV

I don't know who she thinks she is, she should have more considerate to me. She couldn't even let me know what all of her extra "training" was about. I doubt that it's even any kind of training that doesn't require her being naked with a man.

Wait, why am I thinking like this? She is my best friend and sister. I should be supportive and understand that I don't have to know everything about her life.

I can't tell you how many times that I have asked her about what she is learning and all I get is her shutting down so no one can tell what is going on.

I am a little worried about her though. I saw her coming back from a training with guardian Jones soaking wet. She looked so exhausted that I was surprised that she even made it to her room.

Is she still training with guardian Belikov? I used to see her talking to him all the time and it looked like they atleast trusted each other a lot. I hardly ever see her with anyone anymore. I wish that I could figure out what's going on. Maybe ther is something that I can help her with...
