MELTING A WEREWOLF'S HEART

TRAINING 3

I'm so happy as I practice using sword with Muin. He's been training me sword fighting for up to three weeks now. And today, I'm fighting with him. He's a very good trainer. And he said I'm an intelligent trainee.

"Good. You're doing well." He said as I dodged all his attacks.

I smile hearing that. "How about I show you how well I can do." I don't him as I moved from the defender to the attacker.

"Hmm.....not bad." He said as he buckled up his moves.

Ray watched us from afar. He was supposed to be meditating but he secretly watched as we practiced.

Muin tried to give me a counterattack but I dodged it and threw his sword away. He quickly surrendered and we started laughing.

"Good. You're getting better by the day." He said to me.

"It's all your doings. Unlike so people." I said, looking at Ray.

He was already meditating.

"Hahahaha......." Muin laughed. "Your love for each other is so special."

I looked at him. "Will he even ever love me? He's too hard."

"You think he doesn't?"

"Then why does he treat me like I'm a shit?"

"Hahahaha....... because it's hard for him to accept the fact. He knows the truth, but he won't accept it." Muin said.

I took a look at Ray once again. Does he really love me?

"Get Ray. Let's go inside. We've stayed too long outside today. Ray will continue his training inside."

"Yes." I said and ran to him.

Not long, we heard a very loud sound. Ray stood up immediately and Muin was already at alert.

"We need to go inside. Now." Muin said and opened the door.

I entered first and Ray followed me. Muin came after us and closed the door from the outside. I still never know how he does that.

"I think they're werewolves." Ray stas we descended the stairs.

"I think so too." Muin confirmed.

"I can't believe their still chasing us." I said unbelievably.

"Hahahaha...... they'll keep in chasing you. Until you either kill them, or they kill you." Muin said. "That's why you need to train faster to go and face them once and for all."

"Hmm........" Ray sighed.

"When should we strike? We've been training for almost 2 months now. We've learnt a lot already." I said bravely.

"I hate to admit it but, you're right. It's time to strike." Ray said.

I looked at him with happiness in my heart. 'That heart of yours, I'll definitely melt it.' I said in my mind and he looked at me. He knew what I thought.

"You go in Elena. We have work." Muin said.

"Yes." I said and went inside.

We were still hearing that sound. I wonder why they made the sounds.

"Raya! Raya!! I need your help." I said as I entered.

Raya was lying on the bed. I didn't know whether she was asleep.

I've learnt to always ask Raya for help. She's very clever.

I went to the bed and use my hand to stroke her hair and body. She stood up instantly and barked.

"I'm sorry. I thought you were asleep." I said as I saw her angry face.

'Yeah yeah. Like if it was you sorry is enough.' She looked at me angrily.

"Well, take it or leave it."

'I don't need your apology. Let me be. Someone can't even pretend to be asleep.'

"I need your help."

'I'm not giving it.'

"Don't be mean."

'Look who's talking. What have you been doing to me for so many years. You've always been mean to me. Never said any nice things to me. Always shout at me, saying you don't trust me and all. Now you say I'm mean? Nothing I do to you will ever be equivalent to what you've done to me since I stepped in to your house.' Raya stood up and walked away from the room.

I stayed still there. Not able to utter any word. Have I ever been so mean to her? This is the first time in so many years I've seen her barked so much. She really was pained.

I quickly left the bed to search for her. Thinking of it, she's always saved me so many times from attacks at home. She's always been there, even though she did it for my mum's sake.

"Raya!!! I'm sorry. I didn't mean any of the things I did to you all those years. I was too small to understand then. I'm so sorry." I said as I looked for her around.

'Could she be with Ray? No no. She knows he's busy practicing. Where could she have gone to?' I thought as I walked round the house.

Then, I saw her looking at a picture in Muin's room. She just starred at the picture.

"I'm sorry Raya."

'Its too late.'

"It's never too late. I promise I'll do whatever you say from now on. Everything will happen according to your commands. Please.........."

Raya looked at me. She was looking if I was telling the truth.

"I'm damn serious Raya. Whatever you say, I do. Just help me. Let's be friends." For the first time in my life, I said that word..... friends to Raya.

'This is unlike you. Is it that you're more sensible now or you're plotting against me.'

"All I know is that, this is the real me. I'm serious now. Please......."

'Fine. I'll help.'

I jumped up in happiness and we went back to the room. I needed Raya to teach me a lot I need to know about relationship and romance. I'll use that to get my man.

"Ray, you need to be free. Set your heart free. That's the only way you can master this particular training."

"I'm trying."

"You're not trying at all. Your heart is still as cold as ice. Still as strong as a rock. Still as heavy as a car. You need to let things go. Focus."

Ray was sweating profusely. He was really trying his best to read Muin's mind. He kept on trying and trying.  But it was fruitless.

"Aaaarrrrggggghhhh......I'm done. You know what, I don't need to master this at all. What I've learnt is enough." Ray said with frustration.

He was really tired trying and failing. He stood up and went to the tea table.

"Hmmm....." Muin sighed. "Only one person can do this now. Elena."
