Training


HAYLEE

I'd shown everyone to their new rooms upstairs. Damien finally came home at about 3 p.m so he took them shopping. He'd brought them back, we painted their rooms, then he went to see my brother. Soon, Jamie, Jacob and Hannah were back. They'd went scouting for the other coven. I would have went to help set up traps but Damien had wanted me home. I didn't realize his reason for that until now. He just needed a babysitter to make sure that the newborns didn't go blood thirsty and run away, but they were actually handling things quite well with only a few small blood bags each. I was preparing them for a kill limit, limiting their blood supply. Jamie walked over to me and smiled.

"How'd it go?" I asked, Jacob and Hannah walked upstairs. I heard a door shut, then seconds later, another one.

"Pretty good, actually. We've got traps surrounding the outside of the woods." He grinned from ear to ear, impressed with himself.

"And if they get passed those traps?" I asked. His grin disappeared.

"Shit." He sighed.

"And I bet you used all of the traps, didn't you?" I smirked. His silence had answered my question for me. "I wonder about you, Jamie." I smiled.

I heard a door slam.

"So-" Taylor said, walking in eyeing the new newborns down, "this is them."

"Yeah, Taylor, do you have a problem with it?" I asked, stepping in between him and the couch filled with the newborns. Jamie followed my lead.

"Yes." He replied. Kelsey and Skyler walked in, and ran up the stairs, stopping at the bottom. Smartly and quietly, the new group back up behind the couch and against the wall, not moving out of the protected area. They could sense a fight that had been long awaited.

"You dare to question our creator's command and most importantly, our masters? My brother?" I sneered, getting into a stance that told him that I wanted a fight, and I wanted it now. Jamie gave him a look that dared him to move even an inch closer to me.

"Yes." Taylor replied, stupidly ignoring Jamie. He jumped in the air, about to land on me until a force threw him against the wall. The force was my talent. His eyes widened, and I lifted myself off the ground. That was easy, moving and multitasking in the air was the hard part but I'd learned to control it. I flew faster than lightning to him and slammed my hand into his neck.

"You wanted a fight, now you've got one." I said, I could feel my anger take over, and I slammed him into the ground. He winced in pain, but pushed me off of him. I ran at him, and tore at his throat, dodging his knife blade. He tackled me and soon was thrown off of me by Jamie. Jamie pounced on him and soon tore off his arms. Damien came in just in time.

"What the hell!" Damien yelled, running over and getting Taylor's limbs. He hurried and reattached them to him, in the grossest way possible. I growled and pounced, not satisfied yet, but someone caught me. It was Jamie.

"No, Haylee. We'll just explain it to him." He said, and I sighed but nodded. I could feel my eyes sting, probably turning away from the dark color back to my lime green eyes. I told Damien what happened and his bright red eyes, brighter than Taylor's, flared.

"Why in hell would question the judgement of two superiors? Are you just pissed off because you have even more people that I now favor more than you, Taylor?" Damien had made him snap.

"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT IF I AM FAVORED BY YOU, DAMIEN! THE GIRL YOU FAVOR IS A WEAK, WORTHLESS AND SPINELESS BITCH!" Taylor screamed.

"I'm weak? You're the one that fights with weapons, last I checked. I'm worthless, shit. At least I have a talent! And as for spineless, would you like to try me, again?!" I snapped. I heard footsteps. Hannah and Jacob were at the stairs.

"Shut the hell up, bitch. No one was talking to you!" Taylor yelled at me. Jamie growled and was about to pounce but Damien held him back.

"This is their fight." He whispered to him. He said fight, without even knowing it, he'd just given me permission to attack. I leaped on Taylor, and scratched his throat. I grabbed him by it and threw him out of the window, it shattered, letting him pass through. I lunged out of the window and on to him. I could feel my anger over heating, and suddenly I was wondering what it'd be like to tear apart a vampire and burn it. I grinned, devilishly and slowly yanked off his arm. He screamed in pain.

I allowed Damien to reattach it.

"Next time, Taylor, I will not stop with just one limb and I will refuse to let Damien fix you. I will tear you apart, and I will destroy you. Then I'll set fire to the pile of your demolished body and I will kick the ashes when the flames die down." I threatened, very seriously. Everyone was silent. I think I'd just made my point clear. No one should fuck with me. If you thought I was a bitch before I changed, then you'd do a double take if you saw me now. Taylor stayed silent, and I walked back into the house, grabbing a bag of blood. I'd have to stop drinking so much of these. I walked over to the couch, the new group was just staring and watching me silently.

"Uh- excuse me but-" the blonde haired boy, Erik, began, "are you O.K?"

"I'm fine, just very angry." I replied.

He sat down beside me and shook his head.

"There's more to it than that." He said. I looked at him.

"You're hurt." Kelsey said, moving away from the stairs followed by her sister, Hannah and Jacob.

Maybe she was right. It did hurt me that someone from my own coven would want to hurt someone else in the coven. How could he be so reckless? I didn't say that aloud, though. I only took in a deep sigh and nodded.

"Yeah, it does hurt when your brother works so hard for something only to have an idiot try and tear it down." I growled. No one else said anything after that.

"We're gonna go and hunt," Damien said breaking the silent an hour later. "Then when we come back, we're going to train."

We'd all been doing nothing but watching t.v and talking to each other the whole time. I was actually ready for human blood. Animal blood was great, don't get me wrong, but human blood just had something to it. Jamie, Hannah, Jacob and I had agreed to taking Erik, Karla, the blonde haired girl, and the brunette haired girl, Paisley. Zoe, Kent and Lane were in Damien's group.

"They haven't been trained like you two were, so try to help them." Damien said, mainly to me and Hannah. We nodded our heads and in a flash, we were gone. Erik, Karla and Kent followed in the middle with Jamie and Jacob in the back, making sure we didn't lose one of them or that they didn't accidentally wander away from us. We ran and soon we'd reached the city. I smiled at all of the pedestrians. It was a street fair tonight.

"Let's see," I thought to myself, "four plus three is seven, five times seven is thirty-five. We need to find thirty-five humans that we could eat."

Out of the corner of my eyes, Hannah's own eyes had widened.

"Haylee! I'm shocked! You did math?!" She gasped. The others were confused.

"Shut up, Hannah." I mumbled.

"I'll be right back." I said. My body shifted, and my eyes stung for only a second. Soon I was alert of my surroundings. I smirked and jumped into the crowed. I ran past people, pushing some away and knocking other down. Soon I'd found four homeless people. All of them were teenagers and I could tell they were runaways. Three were girls and one was a boy. I grabbed them and ran back to my waiting group. I tossed the girls to Karla, Paisley and Erik. Two were blonde and one had dark brown hair. The boy I had had black hair.

"Follow my lead." I said, looking down at the boy. I leaned my lips down to his neck, but paused. "I promise to make this fast, and I apologize for the pain your about to experience."

I covered his mouth, and I felt warm tears fall onto my hand. I quickly and painlessly sunk my teeth into his neck, and sucked his blood dry. His blood reminded me of something bursting with different flavors. His blood was different, and so delicious that I wanted more of it. He'd run dry pretty quickly, though. I looked up to see the others doing as I did. They wiped their lips. The whole night went like that and soon we'd all reached our kill limit. We'd disposed of all of the bodies, and went home. We'd made it back before Damien and his group. I went upstairs and showered in my bathroom which I'd painted with the left over paint. I cleaned up and got dressed in some black, stretch shorts that defined my butt and waist, and were short. I also put on a black spaghetti strap. I walked back downstairs, my wet hair drying on it's own.

I'd realized Damien and his group was back, and Damien smiled when I came downstairs.

"Now we can start training." He said, happily. I sighed. I wanted to lay down, and sleep. Training was the last thing that I wanted to do right now. We walked outside, and I noticed they fixed the door. I smirked. If you have talents, move over here. Every one moved except for Taylor, Zoe and Kent. I felt a little sorry for them, hell I even felt sorry for Taylor. "We'll go one by one, Taylor, Zoe, Kent, you three can sit and watch if you'd like. We might need to use you."

Karla stepped up first. Her long blonde hair flowed over her pink tee shirt that stopped before her black Nike shorts began. We were all barefooted.

"Karla- what's your talent?" He asked.

"Mind erase." She replied.

"O.K. Tell me your deepest secret, then erase my mind. She nodded and leaned in. I saw his face burn bright red even in nothing except for the moonlight. She stepped away and concentrated.

"What's my deepest secret?" She asked.

"I don't know. It's your secret, not mine." He answered. He wasn't lying. She smirked in satisfaction. She went and sat down, and next was Paisley. She was dressed in an orange tee shirt and blue Nike shorts.

"I have the talent of persuasion." She smiled.

"O.K, persuade someone." He said chuckling.

She walked over to Karla and smirked evilly.

"Tell everyone who you like." She said.

"Damien." Karla replied. She covered her mouth. Paisley could convince, but she couldn't hold it. Damien blushed but moved on. Next was Lane. He was wearing a simple white tee shirt and red basketball shorts.

"I can shield mine and others thoughts." He said.

"Impressive. Prove it." Damien smiled. "Hannah, come on and help him. This also demonstrates your power."

Hannah stepped up and focused.

"He's thinking about pizza." She said. Damien frowned.

"I miss human food, too, but get over it." He said. Lane sighed and focused as well. Hannah's eyes widened.

"I can't hear his thoughts." She said.

"Very impressive!" Damien said, causing Lane to smirk. Next was Erik. He was dress in orange basketball shorts and shirtless. He had a nice body.

"I have the talent of seeing through shields." He said. I still had no idea what that meant, but I guessed I'd find out soon.

"Alright, Jacob, shield yourself." Damien said. I understood now. He could see through invisibility. Even if someone hid somewhere, he could find them. Suddenly I couldn't see Jacob. Erik focused and point behind Hannah. Suddenly Jacob appeared, five feet away from where he was and scared Hannah completely. Jamie went next.

"You should know already, but I am a profit- an awesome, amazing, powerful-"

"Get on with it, Jamie." Damien sighed.

Jamie sighed as well but focused. He could control when the thoughts came.

"Jacob, think fast!" Jamie yelled, shocked, Jacob pushed Hannah out of the way and a huge ass dog barely missed her. Thank God for Jacob and Jamie. I frowned at the dog, and everyone else backed up.

"Werewolf." Damien hissed. I sighed.

"Perfect. I can test my power." I smirked. I used my mind to lift the dog. I didn't have to use my hands anymore, thank God. That would just look like I was a psycho. The dog rose and whimpered when I dropped him. He growled and advanced. Suddenly, I felt something wash over me, and the wolf stopped, confused. Jacob had shielded me, and the others. The wolf shifted into a handsome boy. He was tanned and blonde.

"Where'd they go?" He muttered to himself. I quietly walked behind him and stuck my hand an inch in front of his mouth. I nodded to Jacob and the shield released us all, and I covered his mouth awkwardly considering he was a few inches taller than me. I lifted him and opened the door at the same time, not using any physical power for either of them. I guided him through the door and the others stepped in. I shut the door and sat him down. He was obedient, and smart. He didn't move.

"Amazing improvement Haylee! He'd be proud." He said, smirking. I stood in line by Jamie and Damien stared at the boy. "Where's your pack at, wolf?"

"Dead." He replied.

"Liar." Hannah accused, stepping out of the line. The boy grasped his head in pain and let out a cry of help.

"Stop! Please stop!" He begged her.

"Hannah- what are you doing?" Jacob asked, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Thought input- A lot of it. Enough to give him a headache." She mumbled, stopping. It was time for my sister and I to switch rolls, I see. I stepped forward and squatted, grabbing his hands and looking him in his baby blue eyes.

"I'll make sure she doesn't do that again- Just tell us the truth from now on." I said. He was probably seventeen at the most. He nodded his head.

"Alright." He agreed.

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Zakarie." He said(A/N: It's pronounced: Zachary).

I nodded my head. "Zakarie- where is your pack?"

"I only have two more in it. Both are my younger sisters. They're twins and only thirteen." He said.

"Where are they?" I asked.

"Here, in the woods. Don't harm them, please." He begged.

"Are they out of the borders or inside?" Jamie asked.

"Inside- the traps were easy enough to get passed." Zakarie replied. We glared at Jamie.

"Are they shifted?" Damien asked.

"Yes. One is a pure white wolf, the other pure black." He said.

"Skyler, Kelsey, go find them. Let them know that we have Zakarie, and that he's O.K. Lead them here and when they get here, get them something to eat from the cabinets. They must be starved." Damien said. Kelsey and Skyler nodded and they were gone.

"Wait- YOU HAVE HUMAN FOOD AND YOU DIDN'T TELL US?!" I screamed, looking away from Zakarie.

"It wouldn't interest you anyway." Damien replied. I sighed, knowing he was right.

"Damien- let me talk to you." I said, standing up and letting go of Zakarie's hands. We walked into the kitchen.

"Let them stay with us." I said.

"What- no!" He replied.

"Please?! They could be useful and they obviously need a place to stay!" I growled.

"No. He wouldn't like it." He replied.

"How much would you like to bet?" I asked. Our argument was getting heated. I grabbed Damien's iPhone from the table and dialed my brother's number.

"Hey- no it's Haylee. Yeah, I missed you too! Hey, we found a wolf with a small pack, only two others. Can we keep them?" I asked. My brother replied with a yes and I smiled. "Alright, bye- love you too." I said, hanging up. "I win."

Damien growled but we walked into the living room.

"Zakarie- congrats. You have a place to stay- you and your sisters." I smiled. He returned the grin and got up to hug me. I smelt his blood and backed away. He smelt very sweet, and I didn't want to bite into him.

"Thank you so much!" He smiled. I nodded.

"No problem."

I hope I hadn't gotten us into a huge problem convincing my brother to allow three werewolves to stay with us.
