☆♡Training and Gifts☆♡

"Let me show you how it's done."

Estella's voice rang in Esmeralda's ears as she looked to her side. Estella had been training the trainees while Andres and Esmeralda had been training under Parvati's and Aldric's instructions.

Needless to say, they did very well. Aldric and Andres were impressed by Esmeralda's skills.

She almost had her father at one point.

Training was finally over for the teenage couple but the same couldn't be said about the trainees under Estella who were still struggling with aiming daggers despite Estella's constant instructions.

The trainees were a backup plan, a plan B, in case Lycan and Feline failed. Estella knew that Leopold wouldn't kill them.

Estella swiftly and elegantly pulled out a couple of daggers attached to the side of her belt and aimed them at the target with a casual yet ladylike elegance.

Bull's eye.

Aldric couldn't help but smile proudly and be surprised at her skills at the same time.

He had never thought that Estella had this side of her personality to show as well. She was almost as good as him in combat skills.

"And to think your mother was just a sweet, young lady." Andres looked at Estella and then at Esmeralda.

"She's deadly." Aldric commented.

Esmeralda just smirked slightly. She had been seeing this side of her mother for a long time.

"Whoa." Andres commented as he looked at the dining area.

The dome-shaped ceiling was made entirely of glass, allowing them to see thousands of stars in the night sky. He looked ahead and saw floating trains carrying breads and buns everywhere.

"Come on." Esmeralda urged her friends to follow her and Raiden while her father and the older Immortals made their way to Estella and Parvati who had already seated themselves.

"You will not believe what happened." Esmeralda squealed, trying her very best to hide her excitement.

"Let me guess. You lost your goddamn virginity." Raiden frowned, going from goofy and cute to protective mode in an instant.

Esmeralda rolled her eyes and deadpanned, "No."

"Oh."

"I had my first kiss." Esmeralda bit her lip hard causing it to get redder than it already was.

"Thank God. I thought you lost your virg-

Esmeralda slapped her hand over Raiden's mouth when she saw Andres and his friends walking towards their table carrying their trays.

"This place is seriously heaven. Can you believe it?'' Andres looked at his friends then at Esmeralda and Raiden.

While Brooke, Raiden and Phoenix had their plates full, Andres and Esmeralda only stuck to some salad and water, with a tiny bar of chocolate as a source of energy.

They didn't want to stuff themselves with too much food.

"What were you doing all this time?" Estella asked Parvati who was busy eating cheesy pasta.

"Me?" she asked, her mouth filled with food muffling her sound.

Estella sighed, nodding her head slightly while sipping on her strong Expresso. She needed coffee if she were to be awake till at least one in the morning.
