Once we both got into positions, we started.
I attacked first with a right kick, but Alex easily dodged it and returned the attack, nocking me off balance.
With not a second hesitation she swung her arm and had the stake at my neck. I looked at her worriedly, but not afraid.
"You need to be quick and never hesitate. Ignore all fear, we can sense that." She advised, I nodded as we started again.
She striked first at my feet, but I quickly jumped over her leg and ran at her. I was able to tackle her to the ground and hold her arms down with my hands and legs down with my knees.
"Gotcha!" I smirked.
"Never get over confident. " she said as she head butted me, making me swing backwards and onto the ground.
"Ouch" I said rubbing my forhead.
"We have hard sculls." She said lending a hand to help me up.
"I can see that." I anwsered jumping up.
"Okay, here take this. Just incase you run into a vampire and need it in emergency. " Alex said handing me a small bottle filled with a clear liquid.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Vervain, a vampire strongest weakness. We can't stand the smell of it and it burns our skin." She explained.
"Does it hurt you?" I asked.
"Yes, just as bad as it does other vampires. That's why I'm very cautious around it." She repplied.
"Okay, see you tomorrow at school." I said grabbing my bag, putting the bottle in it and running off.
I did a quick turn around and looked at Alex to see her hand swipe under her eyes.
I huffed, knowing I was already pretty late. I'll ask her tomorrow at school.
