I do not own VA series, R. Meade has that honor.

The gym that was pretty full so I decided to go outside to start my workout with a run. I went around the track for about 10 minutes. I didn't really pay attention to anything while I was running. I had an arm band that was made for Ipod's. I had it turned up to the point that I couldn't hear anything or anyone around me. I am still able to tell whether or not someone is close. I didn't care how far I ran; this was just to warm my muscles up. When I was finished with my run, I slowly made my way back into the gym and saw that most of the Guardian's had left. It went from being almost full to about of a third full. I don't know if I was hoping or just wanted to see if I could beat Dimtri now. Shrugging because I couldn't see him I just continued my routine. I try to work out regularly but if I can't than I make sure that I do not miss more than one day. I'm vain, so sue me. Besides I need to look good for some of my assignments. After running outside, I was barely warmed up so I went to the punching bag. Not even three minutes of me releasing my anger on the punching bag I had it swaying violently. Suddenly, the bag was flying off of the hook and landed a few feet away with a loud thud. I had been so zoned into beating the shit out of the bag that I hadn't been paying attention on how hard I was actually hitting. Well fuck, why couldn't they be chained up. Fuck it, I walked over to the bag, it only weighed about 300 lbs because it had to be adjusted to Dhampir strength, and I started to pick it up. No sooner than I had the bag maybe a foot off the ground there were 4 guys surrounding me to pick the bag up for me. It was pissing me off that they assumed that just because I was a female that I couldn't pick it up. I raised my eyebrow and asked "What in the hell do you think you are doing? Did I ask for help?" All of them gave me a startled and confused look. One guy had the balls to say "I doubt that you are stronger than any one of us." Guess I insulted him or his ego. Too fucking bad. "Oh really, I KNOW that I could kick all of your asses at once so I would back the fuck up." I knew that I was baiting him but I wanted to spar and they were pretty much asking for it. He smirked at me and walked over to the bench, they all had matching smirks. Well, I will make sure that they won't be smirking by the time we were done. Didn't realize that I also had a smirk on. They all surrounded me; all of us in a defensive stance. Deciding that I didn't want to wait any more I did a roundhouse kick to the guy to my right. None of them were expecting that so he fell back right on to his ass. I kept going and sort of back handed the guy that was behind me only my fist was closed. The fight went on for another 10-15 minutes before all four of them where lying on the ground 'dead'. All of us had received and delivered blows that anyone could see that they weren't holding back at all. It may have looked like I wasn't holding back but if I didn't want to seriously hurt them I had to hold back. I had no doubt that all of us were going to be a wee bit sore and come out with a few bruises. After getting a kick to my thigh hard enough that it made me stumble causing me to yell out some cuss words. I didn't even pay attention to who it was that had enough balls to hit me and whipped around and retaliated with all my strength. After a few minutes I had knocked the person out. I felt a little bad when I found out that it was Dimitri. So I offered him a hand up and apologized for hitting him so hard. The whole gym went so silent that all you could hear was his grunting in pain as he moved. I never was one to be embarrassed but I honestly felt bad about how bad I hurt him that I just spun around and left.

I started to walk around the common area and noticed that I had a lot of people staring at me. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was wearing when I got dressed for the gym. So, I was only in a sports bra and some short shorts. It showed a lot of skin. It was a good thing that I was not shy about my body because I knew I looked good. I realized that I was drawing too much attention to myself so I headed back over to Adrian's to change. I slipped into a simple outfit. I wore dark blue boot cut jeans, my combat boots with just a plain red T-shirt.

While I sat there in the living room with my laptop trying to figure things out. I finally figured out what to do with Mia. She was going to become my apprentice. I hope that she doesn't frighten easily or has a weak stomach. With that decision made I walked out of the house with a small smile on my face. I was maybe five feet away from the front door when I received a call from one of my contacts. There was someone that was ballsy enough to talk shit about my family (people that I consider family are not always blood relatives, but people that I care for and those that I was in charge of) deserved to have a personal meeting with my 'creative' and protective side; its the one that no one has been left alive to confirm my methods only rumors. Now I did have a shit eating grin on my face. I am a wee bit sadistic. I'd rather be feared than loved but there will always be someone that thinks that they are scarier than everyone that they face. I just happen to not mind killing those with that mentality. Now I have something to do other than plan and plot about Tasha and Victor. Although they were still at the top of my list, I needed a distraction every once in a while. There was a guy named Gene Stark that was seating on a bench in front of the fountain with a group of people surrounding him. I made my way over to see what he was talking about and today must have been my lucky day. He was debating with a couple of other guys about how stupid it was for them to fear my father and I. It was not often that people saw my father and there were less that have seen me. If at all possible my smile only grew. I was itching to hurt someone and I just found the perfect person.

I had added a few items to my wardrobe before I left the house. I had added my push dagger, that I had a special case made for so it was sitting on my belt, as well as my hand guns and a stake. I couldn't bring my Urumi with me. That weapon was one of my favorites. It was also one of the ones that was harder to concealed; which royally sucked by the way. I wanted to cause him pain but I just felt like it would be easier to just take him out quickly and get on with my original mission. I jogged back to get my sniper rifle, it was built so I could carry it in a case that will fit in a backpack or large purse so I wouldn't be so obvious. It didn't take me long to find the perfect spot.

I was waiting for the crowd to disappear when I saw Tasha walking into the cafe. I so wanted to go find out what she was getting. I know she went into a cafe so it would only make sense for her to get something to eat. However, I liked to study the people that I am 'hunting'. With a heavy sigh, I turned my attention back to the guy in front of me to find only a few people around him. I was so bored that I set up my gun and took the shot. The back of his head exploded as my bullet excited his head. I make my own bullets, they are designed to go in the size of a dime and come out the size of softball. Everyone around him started screaming while the guardians were looking around to find the shooter. I packed my gun back up and just walked out of the building. No one ever suspected that I was the shooter. I looked somewhat innocent today. I was a little sad that I couldn't drag it out but I had better things to do. For one I needed to start Mia with her training than keep finding information about Tasha and what she is up too and what I should do about my old friends. I walked back thinking about which one I should do first.

A/N: I know that most hate reading author's notes but this one is going to be short. For those that read my story thank you very much. I am having a friend help me proof read it. They are also supposed to help me come up with some other ideas for the story. I am going to try and continue updating the story as well as fix the earlier chapters, so the some of the contents will be changed. Again thank you for reading and any input or review is welcome.
