Chapter 24
Victoria's POV
There are many things in life that shape you into the person you are today. I owe a lot to my parents in particular for training me, supporting and helping me taught every obstical that I've faced. they taught me how to stand on my own to feet and now I could do the same to these girls.
"Okay everyone we'll do one more lap" i said to the group behind me who was panting. sounds of protests where heard but they followed me for another jog around the lake. when we came back around stopped and told them to take a breather, most of them flopped right down on the ground exhausted. Poor Lillian who was human along with 6 others looked like they were seconds from collapsing.
"Their gonna need a lot of work" becky said so only i could hear in our pack link.
"Yeah but they will get there"
"Will they? They sound like whiny brats"
I sighed. she was right.
"Okay girls, that was just a warm up now we can start the real training" i said and Sounds of protests and complains were heard once more. Becky shot me a look. I frowned.
"dont you girls want to know how to protect yourself?" I asked
Yes they murmured a reply.
"did you thing it was gonna be a walk in the park?"
No
"Your mates, brothers and friends train for a couple of hours everyday. Everyday you hear?"
They nodded.
"we are gonna catch up to them, and I don't mean strength although we will be training that as well. I mean dexterity, mobility, the ability to dodge attacks, to be untouched in face of attacks, and how to deal blows with minimal strength required. is this what you want?"
Yes!" They all said determination in their eyes.
"Good" I nodded in aproval.
"I want you to keep running around the lake once everyday, or hit the gym and run there"
"Arent we gonna train in our wolf form?" One of them asked.
"Not yet, first we're gonna teach you self defense in human form. trust me its gonna be worth it"
Everyone paired up and copied the moves me and becky demonstrated for them to practice on. they did good.
Learning how to knock an opponent on his ass using his own strengths against him, how to use speed to dodge, a clear head to analyze the situation. all of this i wanted to teach them and more. but one thing at a time.
Some of the guys came and watched, making the girls nervous but that gave me the opportunity to teach them to focus on the opponent only. there could be flames all around you but keep your focus on your enemy, always.
Of course I also told them to use their surroundings to their advantage. if they know the forest and their enemies didn't shake them of their tail by using what you had. I stressed the importance for them to keep up with daily runs, saying you never know someday it may save your life. And to train with the gym equipment for an hour each day.
They nodded and sighed relived after we were done stretching.
"Remember this is only the beginning, and everything is harder when its new, but keep it up and you will see results" i said and dismissed them, all of them probably headed for a nice shower.
I did the same. I cant say how refreshing it is to take a shower like this. to feel fresh and clean and you know less smelly. It also gives you time to think as you enjoy the water against your skin. to bad I didnt have anything nice to think about.
No I thought about the girls, how they would have to be trained, then I thought about how my father had trained me, that made it sting in my eyes and I thought about school instead. It had been 3 days since I started and i still had three weeks and 2 days to go. and then there was the deal with my vampire teacher. if he wasnt sent by my brother maybe he was sent by somebody else... or he wasnt sent by anyone at all, which meant that maybe.... I shook my head, clearing my head and got out of the shower.
No Time will tell, no use in wild speculations. I dried myself of, dried my hair and put it up in a high ponytail. I pulled on a black top, long sleeves and a long gold necklace and matching bracelets, pulled on some dark jeans and a pair of black combat boots.
I wanted to go into town, me and Becky wanted to go by an see if we could find some weapons. I wanted some throwing knives, and maybe some other stuff if I found something. Becca wanted her bow and arrows, her heightened senses made her one hell of an archer.
So we both ended up with trowing knives and she got her bow. I got my daggers. It takes silver to harm a werewolf or wolf bane, but it still hurts like hell to be shot. I didnt like guns, and against vampires they weren't of much use. Wooden bullets didn't do shit like some stories says.
To kill vampires you had to drive a stake through the heart or cut his head off. Ripping their head off was the best way, because if the vampires were old enough, an ancient, a stake wouldn't kill him. Which is why werewolves are their natural enemy as we rip their heads clean of with ease in wolf form.
But it was important to understand your enemy. If a vampire got his hands around you, he'd crush you, so long distance was definitely the best option. I know I kicked as in the mine but that was because there was minimal space to move in. In the open they might get to me if i didn't have time to shift. Wolves were born to kill vampires. they were born to hunt. but that was the old days, now as long as vampires keep to the rules of the treaty we cant harm them.
Obviously not everyone cares about the treaty. vampires live of synthetic blood and its against the law to turn vampires, unless its improved by the king and queen. i dont know who is in charge of the vampires, but obviously they were doing a shitty job at it. i never took an interest in vampire politics, to me the only good vampire is a dead vampire.
On our way out of the store I noticed Tristan siting all alone on one of the stairs to the mall.
I dont know if it was the over protective instinct of an alpha or the moon goddess wish but I stopped and gave Becks a nod in Tristan's direction and told her to go home without me.
She nodded in understanding "you really cant help but help everyone" she chuckled as she left.
I went over and sat down next to Tristan and said "Hey you"
