Vampire Queen in Training

Chapter 16

"So, my father is a demon; a god of darkness and evil," I said out loud trying to take in everything Cassius just told me.

"I am afraid so," Cassius said to me. Everyone in the room was pretty quite now.

William looked at me with concern on his face and turned to Cassius. "So, would that explain how Abigail is the chosen one?" he asked looking as though he couldn't process the information.

"I will have to do some extra research to figure that out. I do want to say yes though, as no other vampire is part demon, maybe this is why you, Abigail, are so special," Cassius told us.

"Please continue your research Cassius," William said. "I need to help Abigail train."

"Of course," Cassius said standing up. Victoria stood up as well.

"I will help Cassius," she said walking closer to him. "I personally do not need any training right now, plus this should be more fun," she said giving me a nasty look and followed Cassius out of the room. William looked over to Tina and gave her a look.

"Joshua, would you mind helping me take our things up to the bedrooms," Tina asked Joshua who just nodded and followed her out of the room. I just sat there in silence looking down at my hands in my lap.

"Abigail, everything is going to be alright," William said turning to look at me. "I do not know exactly what you are thinking of, but you have nothing to worry about."

I looked up at him and he gave me a sweet smile. "What am I going to," I asked him. "My father is alive, after I thought he was dead for twenty five years. Now he comes into my life to do what, make my life hell? And not just that, he's a demon."

"I do not know what his intentions are, but we will figure it out." William said reassuring me. "Also the demon part surprises me. Have you ever experienced anything abnormal while growing up?" He asked me.

"No, not that I'm aware of. I can visit my grandmother again to see, but I personally have no idea," I told him.

"That sounds like an excellent idea. Tomorrow we can go visit your grandmother and see what she says." William said standing up. "Now, let's go train." He said taking my hand making me stand up. He lead me out of the living, down the hallway, and down these creepy stairs that lead to the basement. The basement was definitely creepy looking with cement walls and floors and in the corner there was a room.

He opened the door to this room and there was a whole training/workout area. There was treadmills, barbells, a weight lifting bench, punching bags and in the middle of the room was what looked like a boxing arena. "Okay, where do we begin," I asked him still looking around the room.

"First, you need to get stamina. That will involve running on the treadmill. After you need to gain more muscle. That will involve lifting weights. Lastly, you will have to learn to fight. Which you will be able to start with the punching bags. Once I feel you are ready, I will test you." William explained. "Now, you may go change into something more comfortable. Just today, I want you to just use the treadmill."

"How long do you want me to do that for," I asked him.

"Just a few hours, till you feel more confident in yourself. Now, I have some things I have to take care of. Please take your time and do not strain yourself too much." He said and walked out of the room. I went to go change into leggings, a sports bra, and sneakers and went to go run of the treadmill.

Williams Point. Of. View.

I left Abigail down in the training room to train alone. I do not want to be in the way and distract her. This is the best thing. I feel extremely bad for leaving her alone, because of the information she was just told, but it is for the best.

I make my way to my office to catch up on some bills. As I opened the door, Victoria was sitting in my desk chair playing with her long black charcoal hair. "Victoria, what are you doing in here, is everything alright," I asked her keeping the office door opened.

"Oh, I was just bored and missed you," she said in a flirtatious manner.

"Well, I have very important matters to attend to and would like to be alone," I told her. She stood up from the chair and came over to me. She smelled like wine and iron. She looked at me with her dark eyes.

"Oh William, I have no idea what you see in her," she said touching my arm. I just stood there with a cold look on my face. "She's half demon, and she's not even that pretty."

"Abigail may be part demon, but that does not change who she really is as a person, "I told Victoria sternly, "Also, Abigail is the most beautiful person I have laid my eyes on."

She gave me a nasty look. "You're pathetic, William." She said with anger. "I do not want to help someone that is like her." She said pushing past me and slamming the office door as she left. I sighed and went to sit down in my chair.

I had saved Victoria from ambrosia when she was at her lowest. I helped her to become as heathy of a vampire that she is. Tina always said that Victoria fell in love with me and has been trying her ways since I had helped her. The thing is I have never felt the same about her. Yes she's pretty and smart, but she just is not the person for me. Just then there was a knock on my office door and it opened slightly before I could say anything. Tina then poked her head in.

"Is everything alright, William?" She asked coming more into the room. "I heard a door slam and just wanted to make sure everything was alright."

"Yes Tina, Victoria is just upset with me. Also she no longer would like to help us." I told her.

"I will have a talk with her," Tina said. "She is just jealous of Abigail, because of how much time you are spending with her."

"I appreciate it Tina, thank you. Please enjoy the rest of your evening." I told her.

"Thank you, you as well," she said and closed the door as she left. I sighed and turned to the prophesy book. I looked at it for a few moments before I got up and walked over to it. This book, this prophesy, was something I have been dreading for, for over a hundred years. It has come with its pros, but also with its cons. This prophesy brought me Abigail. That I am tremendously grateful for; she has brought me more happiness than I have had in a long time. Another pro, this will help save the vampire nation from ambrosia and hopefully Chernobog as well.

The cons though. If Abigail and us cannot pull this off, Abigail is destined to be killed. I have not had the courage to tell her. It has been eating at me for a while now. I just have to do what ever I can to protect her.
