I laughed a little but then Elaina cocked her head at us for a second. I stepped back in fear then croaked,"Wait you're not serious... right?" She placed a hand on my shoulder and said,"Once I teach you both to become fierce fighters, Fredrick will see and he'll be so impressed that he'll beg for us to join the dark side. It's like we'll be in the upper social hierarchy of the dark side, and then he will trust us and reveal all the secrets." I didn't like the exact idea of her saying I'll teach "you both", knowing Fredrick was planning to brain wash Alex. But maybe if he learned to fight and showed his skills, Fredrick would accept him. I was still horrified at the thought that I could brain wash, I didn't know how I would tell Elaina. Alex held up his hands in defense and said,"I'm sorry but what do YOU know about battle fighting." Elaina crossed her arms with a smirk on her face and said,"Well genius, I've lived on my own for quite some time now. Things aren't just handed to you. Now what do YOU know about battle fighting." Alex stepped closer to her, becoming nose to nose, and he said in a sassy attitude,"Nothing, I'm just the brains." I held my hand up and stepped up and mumbled, "It's true, he's the top of our class, and a great tutor actually." Oh goodness, why was I such a dork? I wanted to punch myself in the face for that comment. Elaina just shrugged it off and stepped back, saying,"Well first things first, I need you to choose the weapon you want to use. The ONLY weapon you will fight with." I raised my eyebrow and said,"Why can we only use one certain weapon." El smiled at me, twisting the end of her high ponytail around her fingertips and said,"Well all heroes have their own signature weapon that they are know for using, right?" I rolled my eyes at the comment, thinking,"I wouldn't call myself a hero, more like a kid born into a messed up family" but I just gave her a thumbs up. Alex and I exchanged nervous looks as we peered over at a giant table, a one that would be at a mansion for a Thanksgiving feast. It was overflowing with weapons of all sorts, most of them I didn't even know what they were. El just grinned and said,"Test em' out if you'd like. Then choose the one that you know will save your sorry butt."
