Stings Like A Bitch (Book 2)

Sabrina's Hometown

My neck feels a bit sore after sleeping in a strange position on a seventeen hour flight to Sabrina and Williams hometown. Getting off the airplane was a breeze with founding our luggage within five minutes and another what felt like two minutes founding a valet man holding William's full name on a white board; the slim man is in a blue uniform and his hat looks like a sailor had own it. William greets the man with a firm hand shake as Sabrina hugs him rubbing off the awkward business feel of it all. A shiny stretch black limo is parked at the front of the entrance as we exit the doors. The fresh cold air hits  my skin softly while fresh aroma of Zesty Orange tickles my nose.   "Where going in that?" Sabrina gives me a bright smile. "I know, I'm still not use to it" She enters through as she thanks the man named Peter; who had opened the door for us. I take a sit across William sliding through onto the smooth and shiny leather sits. My nose smells shades of tobacco but it quickly changes into a sweet apple. A pop sound effect of a champagne in Williams hands sends Sabrina passing a long wine glass my way. William pours it into our glass. What's the occasion of opening a champagne bottle? It wasn't as if I'd hadn't had a champagne  before but being in a limo.  That was a first though.  We cheers our glasses together without saying anything and duck our heads back as the limo drives onto what looks like the Freeway. The limo disco lights at the top of the roof  shined right and purple and music throughout the ride. It felt like twenty minutes before we drive through tall black gates opening around a waterfall and some high Palm trees. Exiting out the limo my head feels lightheaded by the champagne because of having little food; the size of the house in front was no house I've ever seen. It's tall with big windows and a big fancy golden door in front of us that Peter once again opens. I thank him this time as William takes off his winter jacket giving it to a lady who he greets at the same time giving her kiss on the right cheek. She is wearing a black and white dress. Her chestnut hair is in a nice French bun. He speaks in Spanish to her, I'm so thankful I'd taken Language Class now then I ever did. Sabrina gives her what looks like a tight hug and William then introduces me to her. She just nods her head giving me suspicious look but it changes into a surprise smile when I speak in Spanish to her. " Tienes un nombre precioso, Placer conocerte Rose" Translate:- You Have a lovely name, its a pleasure to meet you Rose. She nods her head with a wider smile walking through a sliding door to the kitchen. I follow William and Sabrina down the hallway into the living room where I see another three woman on the table having some tea. The three woman have all different hair colors and different skin tones but you can tell straight away which ones Williams mother. She's a spilt image of William besides the height and the beauty mark on her right cheek. "Sorry girls if were interrupting" William didn't finish his sentence off; by the cheerful cheers and excitement that there've come back home. They all get off there chairs and hug one another even me in the progress. There all introducing themselves to me as I do back quickly hugging. The two girls names are Stephanie, Elise and the one who I would assumed is William's mother is Mabel. We had joined them for some tea that had lasted for a few hours and then William had showed me to the guest room where I would be staying which was upstairs onto the far right corner room that followed into the guest bathroom. The room is filled in with bright creamy colors with a hit of blues here and there. My luggage is already in the room next to the double size bed that has cream blue fluffy sheets with two even pillows on each side. I don't know what William or Sabrina do but it was easy to see that they had it all and could have it all. The night feel silent after getting into my winter pajamas. I get a few text messages from Alice saying she misses me and what she's been up too. Apparently she been trying out new foods in China that I wouldn't dare to try and eat. She sends me a photo of her holding a stick that has a small cooked animal on it with her smiling showing of her white straight teeth. My stomach twisted once I'd ask what it was, immediately regretting it. It didn't look like a rat in the photo as it was covered in food sauce and spices. I don't know what's worse, eating a rat or a cockroach?  I would starve then eat them.  I'd didn't reply to Alice's text until the next morning when I'd woken up at seven O'clock that the alarm buzzed on the night stand. Sabrina screams too cheerful opening the curtains. "Day One Of training! William wont be with us today but Hannah and Max are coming along with us! Come on get change, make sure to bring your heavy boots I brought you" Her voice speaks really fast. She takes an inhale and exhale exiting the room. "See you in five minutes down stairs" Her cooper hair swings side to side as she walks out. Day one of training we head down to the woods, where a river bank is frozen with thick snow around it. Sabrina tells me to melt the ice, It takes me a few seconds to melt it completely to water. "Interesting?" She whispers out loud. "What?" I move my hands away from the icy shore. "No, its nothing" She pause. "You have much better control then me on my fist time" she pats me twice on my shoulder while saying it. "Lets challenge you shall we" Hannah claps her hands standing behind Sabrina. Sabrina tells me to freeze the water again and that takes only a few seconds like its second nature to me. Hannah walks onto the thick ice and stand there looking at me. "Melt it again" Sabrina voice is in my ear as Hannah gives me a half nervous and half confident nod. This is insane, I'm going to kill her. "How, she's on it?" My finger tips feels slightly numb. "Focus on where you want it to melt" Sabrina points towards the icy shore as I reach my hands out and I spread my fingers apart. I close my eyes this time feeling the ice move away. I  hear the cracks underneath. "Control your breathing Fiona" Sabrina's voice sounds like a whisper as she repeats it going deeper into the trance. That's when I open my eyes seeing Hannah on a hard ice cub with only water around her. Hannah looks excited and half amazed. "Now freeze it up again before she slips in" I squeeze my hands into a fist to what it felt right to do and it turns back into thick ice. "Thank god for that it didn't go wrong" Max puffs out air out of his mouth crunching down onto his knees; bending down on one knee in a relief. Hannah takes a step forwards but then slips falling onto her back sending a Oozing sound effect of pain out of her mouth. "Ouch!" Max says out loud; squinting his face in with his right hand in a fist cover his mouth; and then starts laughing sending us all in laughing fit with him. Hannah started to laugh towards the end getting onto the thick snowy shore to us but I think it was more of sarcasm laugh as she stumbles behind Sabrina and I. It hits mid day that my tummy starts to grumble. That's when Sabrina shows me how to hunt for food but not in a way your thinking. This was no normal hunting. I had to found these black peddles that had a strong charm smell to it that Hannah and Max had hidden in the snowy woods. They where hidden anywhere, in a bird nest up on a tree that I had transformed into a mocking jay bird, on a dears neck that had collar on its neck. I transformed into a fox, attacking it. I guess that was my lunch. It was warm and sweet. "You wont suppose to eat it" Sabrina catches up to me on her human two legs. "Sorry I was hungry" I lick the blood off my nose. The next peddle was in a cave behind a water fall. The last peddle was on a Wild Boar. There was a herd of them, The scent wasn't so strong; I didn't know if it was one of the big ones or the babies.  There were only six of them. Three babies that looked the same ages but different built bodies and I would assumed the parents; slash grandma.   I transformed into a  cheetah and attacked. I had failed the words come out of  Sabrina's mouth like she had coughed on a sweet rapper. Day one had finished up with wolf fighting. Day two we went to the Forrest again with Sabrina and Max. They lead me to what looked like an abundant Archery filed. That's where I practiced fire shooting out of my hands instead of my whole body. I think its where my dragon powers kicks in. I don't get the target board the third time and on the sixth time I over burnt the whole target board moving up to a next one in the line. I lost count how many I went through that day but I had gotten it towards the end. Sabrina and I; towards the end flu into the air with the element air, we'd both looked like air benders as I copied her every move controlling my balance and then making a fire ball in my hands.  Max kept on the look out for on going backpacker traveling by if they did so through the woods. The third day was brutal, I couldn't believe Dante or Sabrina or just any kind would have gone through the pain in this training. Sabrina couldn't stay for the training but she'd had her fair experience in it to know it's what's the best  for us. The healing progress and strength. William chained me in handcuffs to a wooden pole. My back had been bare for this training. William whips me with a leather belt, every slash stung as tires falls down my cheeks and my screams had become dried gashing Ozzing. He'd done it until my skin become red rare dipping of blood. The more hits I take the more my skin felt more thick. He takes a few breaks catching his breath. I could hear his breathing that he had not liked what he was doing. He starts again when I feel my skin closing up together. Sabrina helps me take a shower as the sun rolls down slowly. The fourth day, my back had no scars on it which was my biggest fear and I'd felt more energetic. Sabrina, William, Hannah, Max and I head into what looked like a Sunday market. Sabrina and William help themselves to the fruit stand buying some fresh red apples. "How are you feeling?" Hannah loops her arm in mine as we walk on. Her blonde hair is nowhere to be seen besides at the back of her grey bunny. I tell her I feel fine which was the truth. After being there for almost half an hour, I meet Sabrina's local friends Ole and Emily that had invited us for dinner at there house.  Ole and Elise lived just on the corner of town where you could say they loved the woods so much they brought a permit of a small land and built  house around the wild trees. There house reminded me of a tree house but an adult one. Just by looking at it, I could feel the warmth of love it has. It could be the orange timber and glowing lanterns on the porch giving the vibes mixing with the ripe cranberry scents in the air.
