I do not own VA series. Richelle Mead does.
Woo Hoo! I get to play with Weapons! At least that is what I thought... The first few days the only thing I did with them is learn how to clean them and be able to tell him which weapon would be best for what. Such fun, NOT!
After a week he told me to go and pick out which type to start with. I had tried many different types of handguns and the ones that I liked the best were: Walther P99, Beretta Px4 Storm, Beretta 92F and the Browning HP. I liked the Beretta 92F as my everyday weapon. It shot smoothly and was one of the lighter ones. It was also the one that I was most accurate with. Which is always a plus when you are trying to hit a target. I had found a couple of older weapons that I was intrigued with: Urumi (my favorite), push dagger and Nagamaki. Now most of these aren't used in every day combat. The Urumi was a long sword that was made of flexible steel belts that could be rolled into a small tight coil. The belts were generally 11/2 inches thick that are generally 4 to 5 feet long and there are about 6 belts. It has a covered handle so you don't have to worry about it slipping out of your hand while you use it. It looked like a metal whip basically only metal. Next was something else that I could carry around every day, the push dagger. It was a knife that stuck out between 3 1/2 inches to 5 inches long. Kind of looked like brass knuckles only with a knife that is held between your index and middle finger. Causes a wicked amount of damage in close contact fighting. I mutilated a few of our dummies with this one. Than there is the Nagamaki which is a type of long sword that has a hard casing so if I had to I could use it as a staff. I could go on and on about the amount of fun that I had trying out weapons. Of course he had his own list of favorites but he liked the Walther P99 also.
Here is another part of the fun was the different types of vehicles that I had at my disposal. I walked into the garage with a grin that just kept growing the farther I got into it. It had everything: motorcycles, sedans, sport cars, trucks and SUV's. I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Was told that I had complete access to any of them. So, of course, I took a bike (GSXR 750) on a ride around the city. I don't think I could have had a bigger grin on my face when I got back.
Alright enough about all the toys that we get to play with. It was about a month or two before I was "ready" to go out. I had mastered Turkish and Russian. Who would of thought that I can know understand Dimitri, if I ever see him again. I hope I do but not if he is the job. I'd do my job but it'd be hard. All threw this time Zander had gotten me used to my body and its capabilities. I didn't think that I would be able to do some of the kicks that he could. Its like he spun around 4 times than came out as a round house. It was awesome to watch. I learned on how to control my emotions internally and it is very hard for me to show any type of emotions to anyone.
I had been called up a lot to talk with Abe and everyone kept telling me that he was a scary guy. He never seemed scary to me but I don't doubt he'd do things himself if needed. I had asked Zander if we could look up to see who my dad was considering that we had so many resources at our disposal. I received an odd look and "That is something that you would have to talk to Abe about." I didn't understand why I had to but I really wanted to know. I got up there and he was in a meeting so I walked to get a bottle of water. All of the guardians were staring at me it felt like I was the new kid in school. Where everyone goes out of there way to see what you look like. I waited outside Abe's door for about a minute before one of the guys that must have been dared to cause he looked nervous as all hell to come and talk to me. "Are you the one working with Guardian Jones?" I turned my head to look at him and he took a step back. My answer was simple "yes." I must have looked scary because the guy turned around and walked away. Thankfully, not even a minuter passed before his meeting was over. The person that came out shocked the hell out of me. It was Tasha Ozera. I didn't know her, I've only heard about her. She did remind me of Christian. She just nodded to me as she walked out. I didn't give her a second glance and walked into his office.
I sat down in the chair in front of him with my back straight and shoulders squared. I'll admit that I probably looked like I had a stick shoved up my ass but it was hard to relax outside of my home. I waited till he was done writing something and looked up at me. "I wanted to ask a favor of you." He raised his eyebrow "And what might that be?" "I would like to find out who my father is. I have been thinking about it and since we have all of these resources that I should be able to find him. I would have tried myself but Zander told me to talk to you first." I stated. During the sentence both his eyebrows went up and back down when I was finished. "You really want to know who he is?" He asked as he leaned back in his chair with his elbows on the arms with his hands in front of him. I nodded "yes" He sat there for a few than looked up at me and said that he knew him and didn't think that I was ready to know who he was. I thanked him for his time and went back down to my home.
